***What is it about Today's Word with Joel Osteen that disqualifies it from the "Devotional" tag other than Joel's unpopularity with a very vocal segment of FR?***

You mean other than the fact that his "message" is decidedly unChriatian?

How about this:

Joel Osteen Praises Obama as a Christian and makes the outrageous claim that Obama is doing a good job?

Based on that alone Osteen posts should be fair game on FR. Perhaps you can get some protected status on DU, since Osteen seems to reflect the values of the far left rather than those of us on FR.

Biblical doctrine is subject to person disagreement. But, as usual Gamecock, your argument is not based on Biblical doctrine or the actual contents of this Devotional, but collateral issues relating to your own personal and political preferences. That is, or should be, irrelevant to a Devotional nor should it justify interfering with a Devotional.

Many don’t agree with certain Catholic doctrine and teaching either, but does that mean that good-faith Catholic Devotionals and Caucuses should be taken down from FR?

Today’s Word with Joel Osteen devotionals always start with a Scripture verse, a word of encouragement, and end with a prayer. It is a good-faith devotional.

Gamecock, if you don’t like Today’s Word with Joel Osteen, nobody’s forcing you to read it. STAY AWAY from it and move on.

Vision, unless the Osteen Devotional is banned from FR or until Jim Robinson explains what about Today’s Word with Joel Osteen disqualifies it from the “Devotional” tag, I would encourage you to keep posting this thread for the sake of many who are encouraged and strengthened by it.
