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.
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.
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.
Why does Joel Osteen even get put on FR?
The grinning one is the biggest hypocrite of all the TV “evangelists”. Jimmy Swaggart has no use for him whatsover because he never preaches the Cross. It’s all about giving somebody money (him) and you will always be rewarded with more money coming in than you already have. I like the part about him having no training whatsover to “preach”. He says his church has “ordained” him. What church? His church!! He
“ordained” himself. I’d like to knock that those buck teeth down his throat.
Yes. Agree with God about sin. I’m suspicious of anyone who doesn’t and then reverts to “well, I can’t judge”.
What a disservice to any unbeliever it is to lie to them about their lost condition, WHATEVER form the manifestation of sin takes in their lives. The hardest ones to reach are the self-righteous “good” people. Unfortunately today so many “bad” people have the attitude of the proverb:
“The adulteress eats, wipes her mouth, and says “I’ve done nothing wrong.”
Still, anyone who is thirsty can come to Him and drink! It is the Spirit who convicts of sin, causing thirst for Him. He freely gives.
I’ve seen him a few times on TV. Can’t stand to watch him for more than a few minutes. My gut tells me there is something off with him. Would not be the least bit surprised to find him mired in some weird scandal down the road.
45,000 in this “church” shows that TX is as full of the uninformed as is San Francisco or Los Angeles.
