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.
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.
I wonder who ghost-writes his "books."
Personally I don’t believe these preachers believe in God.
Thus is he is not interested in learning more about God?
Joel Osteen knows ALL about prosperity and material gain. He got the city of Houston’s lesbian mayor to sell him a sports arena that had previously hosted Frank Sinatra and the Rolling Stones in the past 30 years for below market value (the venue had non-compete clauses against other city sports and concert venues so the city could no longer make money from what it was designed to do; they negotiated in bad faith to reward inner circle Democrat crony Fascists).
