Or yours. Why don’t you just let go and let God...why are you so interested in stopping a man who encourages people to do their best. I find that very weird. Osteen is none of your business, and tearing down anyone (Pastor or not) is not godly, and reflects badly on you...not the one you are judging.
“Judge NOT lest you also be judged”.
I am going to ask you one question! When has Osteen ever taught about the consequences of sin and stated without Christ in your heart there is no hope for eternal life, and explained how a person can accept Christ and be forgiven for his sins. You show me one example and I will stop my Osteen rants. Sure it is good to get encouragement for a better life, but first a person has to acknowledge they are a sinner and repent and accept Christ’s forgiveness before God can bless them.
Taking a fragment of Scripture out of context seems to be the Osteen method.
What else does Scripture say?
1Corintians 5:11But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one. 12For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? 13God judges those outside. “Purge the evil person from among you.”
God tells us to judge.
We are to test the spirits to see if they are from God. We are to judge with righteous judgment. We are to be aware of false prophets and that we will know them by their fruit. That requires making judgments about others.
For that matter, determining that someone is a Christian and doing good is also making a judgment. So those who are supporting Osteen have judged him and found him acceptable, but they have still judged him.
Nobody can escape making judgments on others, ever.
That verse in Matthew 7 has got to be one of the most misapplied verses in all the Bible.
God did not give us His word to manipulate others with.
