All true, and I wish those stupid Osteen “Devotionals” were banned from FR.

[hinckley buzzard]

Interesting that lately Joel Osteen has become a whipping boy for the leftwingers of the mainline as well as the right.

Makes me think maybe he is on to something after all.

They are sickening money grubbers!

This is an "open" thread on the Religion Forum, meaning posters may argue for or against deities, beliefs, religious authorities and yes, even the Salvation Army.

If that type of debate offends you, then ignore the open RF threads altogether and instead post to threads labeled "caucus" "ecumenical" "devotional" or "prayer."

If you feel inundated by pro-Catholicism threads, then feel free to post all the pro-Protestantism threads you'd like.

Finally, if you do not wish to see RF posts, do NOT use the "everything" option on the Free Republic browse option list. Instead, browse by "News/Activism." When you log back in, the browse will reset to "everything" - so be sure to set it back to "News/Activism."

Romans 14:4
Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

An absolute apostate pastor and teacher. In it for the money and nothing else.

I basically know nothing about him. When I saw the thread for some reason it piqued my attention.

When I read that he lives in a multi million dollar home, that was all I needed to know.

No person who serves the Lord should do it for profit. Nothing wrong with him living in a nice comfortable home but not a mansion.

I am not an Olsten fan but I have CHRISTIAN friends who enjoy listening to him.

In my humble opinion Mr. Osteen should have quoted the Bible Numbers 11 23 The LORD answered Moses, “Is the LORD’s arm too short? Now you will see whether or not what I say will come true for you.” then put in his explanation.

Do me a favor okay? Ping me when he says abortion is allowed. I want to do the honors in posting it.

[Jan_Sobieski]

Something tells me that there is a single individual posing as multiple Joel Osteen fans...get my drift?

2 Corinthians 11:13-15 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.

2 Timothy 4:3-4 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.

His failure to stand for the Gospel of Christ on Larry King live permanently disqualified him from the ministry.

If my preacher in my church failed in that way he would have been voted off of his pulpit.

Not a big fan of these modern day televangelists Barbie and Ken’s. UNLESS, they donate all their proceeds instead of getting rich.
