JOEL OSTEEN: "OBAMA IS A CHRISTIAN, DOING A GOOD JOB"
Ivarfjeld.com ^ | June 29, 2009 | ivarfjeld

Is this man on drugs or something...

Charismatic mega Church prosperity teacher Joel Osteen brands the US President as «A good Christian, who is doing a good job in a difficult time.

Joel Osteen and his wife

These questions came to mind while watching Joel Osteen and his lovely wife, Victoria, on CNN’s “Larry King Live” last week. King pointed out that many Americans are still confused about Obama’s religion and asked, «Does it matter?»

«Well, it matters to me,« said Osteen. «It matters to me that I know he loves the Lord, and I think it’s important that he has convictions from his faith. So to me, it matters when I’m making my personal decisions».

Mrs. Osteen weighed in, too: «It does. It matters to me. … I believe he is a Christian».

Didn’t Larry King leave CNN a few years ago?

Osteen is a feel-good, pseudo-Christian flim-flam man. We’ve seen his kind before. He offers “pop religiosity” in the same way Dr. Phil doles out his folksy pop psychology.

Not surprised he and his wife are sucking up to the Obamas - he want to be the next Billy Graham.

Joel Osteen has never impressed me as anything more than a karma salesman.

Whenever I catch him talking, I want to check that my money-clip is still there and tell the children to keep walking.

As far as I can tell, he has just put a new age spin on the classic gospel of prosperity, asserting that Christianity is more or less the same as the Buddhist theory of karma. I would like to ask him what the disciples did to deserve persecution.

I can't help but think I'm listening to a motivational speaker for a women's garden club, that accidentally got booked to speak at the USMC Ball.

I've never listened to him very long, so perhaps I'm doing him a disservice, but that's the takeaway I've gotten, thus my opinion.

No, he's not on drugs. It's just that there is no reason to believe that Joel Osteen is saved (i.e. that he's really a Christian), and therefore it's safe to understand that he says what he says and does what he does because of a reprobate mind that does not know the Lord.

Regarding all members of the D.isease Party, I have a thought. Most of them admit they voted for Obama TWICE, don’t they? And Obama wants abortion survivors to be murdered with homicidal neglect. They must have ice water in their veins.

And by the way, did any of them ever say anything about the DNC booing God three times in the 2012 convention? If my party did that, I’d publicly say something.

Houston has a Democrat Lesbo Mayor.

Joel has a cushy deal for his church building which is a former basketball stadium in the sweet spot of Houston.

Another Commiecrat mayor setup the sweet deal years back.

Joel knows where his bread is buttered. He is not going to trash Obama or any other Democrat.

One day, during one of his endearing and evocative blinks, his face is gonna get stuck with his eyes closed.

That’s if we could call down lightning on him...but The Lord told his disciples “no”.

Just to be clear the interview in question was in 2009. This blog just copied another blog from five years ago that quoted a WND article. Osteen is still an idiot but it’s not new news.

I dunno. Only thing I vaguely know about him is TV ministry or something. My first impression is that if he’s like many before him (Jim & Tammy Faye, Jimmy Swaggart, Creflo Dollar, et al) he gets his cash from the flock versus the government, and if dirty he’d be on the lookout for some friendly cover.

Hi Mr. Osteen,
My name is Paul, the apostle. I have been whipped with 39 lashes five times, I have been stoned almost to death. I have been shipwrecked twice, and now I am in a Roman prison. I am not having my best life now...but I am looking forward to eternal life. For me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

Also check out recent news where the Lesbo mayor gets a pro queer law passed then she gets pissed that preachers (real ones) rally against it then the lesbo tries to take them to court.

Joel ain’t no dummy, he will not do anything to mess up his cash flow. The people that go to that church are mostly leftists and they will like this.

Osteen doesn't know Obama pushes the gay lifestyle and pot to our children?

He doesn't know about "my Muslim faith" as Barak put it?

No Osteen knows and does not care. Therefore 'to your tents oh Israel'!

Osteen represents the worst of the flagrant rich fake pastors of televangelists. The dude is under serious inquiry as to the $600K in “donations” stolen from his church!!! What church of any major size keeps that amount of proceeds on hand? Really.

So it get’s stolen— insurance replaces it and the cash.... well it goes into a special “love offering” fund for the Osteens. Light in the loafers to boot, so no surprise on the
praise for a fellow pole smoker obamaumao.

Creepy Joel Osteen and his plastic wife are exhibit A for P. T. Barnum’s truism that “a sucker is born every minute.” Show biz and religion do not mix.

Billy wasn't a suck-up. But he did get to present the Gospel to people in high places face-to-face.
