The YBPDLN Ping List is generally published infrequently, but based on the exploits of the megachurch pastors, posts can spike for a period of time. If you would like on or off of this list please FReepmail me.
This guy is an idiot. A false teacher. He needs to get his so called message correct. He has had many opportunities to do the right thing and stand up for God. He refuse. He tap dances around the issues and does not come right out and say that homosexuality is a sin and an abomination before God. God is NOT going to be for anyone that does this abomination. God is going to send them straight to hell unless they repent of this abomination. Osteen needs to get off his hip pockets and stand up for God or he is going to be severely surprised when he stands before the Lord on Judgment Day! He might be surprised at which he will appear. The one for the lost and the one for those that deny God is the Great White Throne judgment for the lost! Osteen needs to repent of his refusal to say that sin is sin. He never says this.
Herman Cain wrote a book entitled “They Think You’re Stupid”.
I’m working on my own book in the subject having a working title of “THEY’RE RIGHT”.
He does not seem able to make the distinction between “loving the sinner” and being able to identify sin when he sees it.
Also trying to make nice with Katie Couric in order to sell books.
Put on your flame suit. It’s about to get hot!
They want you to prosper so you can give to them. Personally I don’t believe these preachers believe in God. And that’s why they’re not afraid to use Him. Many of them say they don’t ask for money. But the message is subtle.
And being ordained in his church is no different from Jesse Jackson being ordained. Flip Wilson being ordained by the Church of What’s Happening Now. Or getting ordained on the internet.
To avoid misunderstanding, my reference to “You’re” goes to the misled idiots who fill Osteen’s pews (and POCKETS) at his “church” as well as those who practice sodomy and support “leaders” who do (like obozo and Osteen).
Says Scripture: "I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. (2 Timothy 4:1-4, ESV)
False teaching is all about man. Truth is all about God.
No sin is greater than another. If a homosexual accepts Christ as their savior, it's up to God to lay judgement. We may not like it but it's Jesus' ever-redeeming message. If that homosexual proudly sins after salvation, that's not a conversation I wouldn't want to have with God to explain myself when I die.
Im not condoning that sin just like I would never condone theft, sexual deviancy, idolatry etc etc.
I am ashamed to say 8 or 9 years ago I bought and read Your Best Life Now . Made me feel good, like eating a box of chocolates, except the “hangover” lasted a lot longer.
I agree. He just decided to start preaching. No education in the ministry. Thus, he does not know the Bible and starts this prosperity stuff. Same as this Chrislam garbage that Rick Warren has going. We all pray to the same God. Hogwash. There is only one GOD! And it ain’t Al-Bundy-la.
Joel sells sugar-coated turds.
You are 100% right. That is what Phil from Duck Dynasty said.
Osteen won’t even give the sinner that much.
Roger the sell books. Someone else writes all these books. He does not have the time. Just like ole Joyce Meyer. She has a ton of books, has written her version of the Bible, lives in a multi-million dollar compound. Rides around in Mercedes or limos, flys in her private jet, stays in 5 star hotels. You can google her compound and see where she and her family has the fenced compound with several huge houses in it. All that money. These folks are going to get a big surprise on Judgment Day if they don’t repent this sin and straighten up and do for the Lord, not for their pocket books.
Ping to the Osteen crowd.
How can you follow this guy’s teachings?
We all are, to some degree, swept into popular but false movements. You realized your error, so don't be ashamed. One of the biggest heresies is Warren's Purpose Driven series of products. Just as deceptive.
Why does Joel Osteen even get put on FR?
I wonder who ghost-writes his "books."
From the article: The Texas minister, who leads Americas largest congregation, explained that he refuses to harp on such issues and was for everybody.
This snake oil salesman and others like him are the reason our country is in moral decline.
He doesn’t fear God or believe in Him...He doesn’t love people. If he did, he would tell them the TRUTH in love.
