Osteen is a charlatan. Scripture warns us about his type.
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.
2 Peter 2:1-22 But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment; if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly
Matthew 7:15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
I have listened to Joel Osteen on and off, and I do not find Osteen in any way a Charlatan or false prophet, that is so bogus....
He has a call at the end of every service and asks people to accept Christ as their Lord and Savior. Anyone saying he denied Christ is wrong, if he misspoke or didn’t realize what he said, that’s where God’s Grace comes in...people are NOT perfect, NO ONE.. not you, not me, not Joel or his wife.
If they fall away, I will still pray for them, not criticize a man of God trying to fulfill the gospel. And as of right now they are in good standing with God.
Heresies:
Jehovah Witnesses
Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene
Those who accept things God has said is an Abomination
Any one who denies Jesus Christ as the Son of God
Those who worship idols
Witchcraft
