Well first, one must be close enough to God to hear ‘his still small voice.’...other wise it could be the devil talking.

Bet you no one here hates JO...

I don’t, anyway.

He’s still a religion profiteer with little provable Bible knowledge.

James 5:8 is working against your hypothesis. In that passage James is talking about patiently waiting for the rewards to come after Jesus returns. Trying to make that some type of justification for Osteen’s preaching “get it now” is twisting scripture and using it out of context.

Nope. He deied Jesus. (CNN LARRY KING LIVE Interview With Joel Osteen Transcript)

Otherwise why would he apologize afterwards? (Joel Osteen Issues Apology). I know. He says he misspoke. Every preacher that has ever been on King was asked that question. And yet, one of the fundamental questions about Salvation is asked and he denies Jesus. Even Benny Hinn recognized this apostasy.

Do you also defend this charlatan when he says "Obama is a Christian, doing a good job."

What about his paling around with the lesbian Mayor of Houston who bared her fangs against real ministers of the Gospel? (Joel Osteen blesses Houston's new (gay) mayor Annise Parker.) Why did she not come after him? Because he believes openly practicing gay/homosexual people will be accepted into heaven.

His lack of fruit is out there. Let him with ears hear.

Here's how your James 5 starts.

1Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. 2Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days.

You may read the Bible regularly but I'm sensing you don't understand it.

If the message isn’t in line with the Gospel, it doesn’t matter how small and still it is, it’s still from the devil.

I am a daughter of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. I will spend eternity in heaven and I know that I know that I know....and I refuse to criticize the men or women who glorify God and spread the gospel.

But may I ask what do you know? Are you also a member of The Assembly of Yahweh, like the author of the EliYah.com website that you keep citing?

I love when these type of articles are posted. It means I can speak the truth about Olsteen and not get banned.

I can’t understand why everyone does not see this guy for the fraud that he is. There are few other preacher’s sons in the Houston are that are cashing in, too. I wonder why all of their fathers were Baptists.

Okay, I am anything but religious, but I never understood why people go crazy over this Osteen guy. He is no different than any of the other TV preachers.

Yup. The Bible is not about "get rich now" schemes for christians. It is not about about giving for the sake of getting wealthy. It does not promise job promotions/ fame and fortune for christians.

NO...I am a Christian, period. The Yahweh website had a the truth on that subject, so I used it... nothing more.

God has many names from the Bible, or didn’t you know that?

“How would you know, because if you had a personal relationship with Jesus, then you would know what you are doing is evil.”

What Mr. Osteen is doing is very evil, he does not preach the plan of salvation, only about how wealthy and well off you can be if you follow Osteen’s feel good about yourself philosophy.

ROFL

still small voice

Question: “What does it mean that God speaks in a still small voice?”

Answer: There is only one place in Scripture where God is said to speak in a “still small voice,” and it was to Elijah after his dramatic victory over the prophets of Baal (1 Kings 18:20-40; 19:12).

That’s a part of the Sacred Name Cult.
