The bible is just a prop for Joel Osteen.

[joethedrummer]

Yep, Osteen is filty rich... WHAT do I care???

Nobody FORCES ANYONE to subscribe to him.

HOWEVER, our Federal Government is also getting filthy rich (personally) off of us -and we have NO say about it.
Yeah, yeah, I know... let our voting do the talking...

Have we nothing better to do than bash Joel Osteen DAILY here???

I’m no way an Osteen guy, but sheesh.. He’s second only to obammy for negative articles here!

Again, NOBODY forces ANYONE to feed Osteen’s wealth or power. He will come and go - that’s GOD’s business.

We have bigger fish to fry.

[Fido969]

Phony.

[Politicalkiddo]

I guess the Devil can also misquote scripture.

[GeronL]

I won’t even call that a church

[Buckeye McFrog]

Either he doesn’t know it or delegates his Facebook postings to an ignoramus.

Either way it’s not encouraging.

Yes, he makes gaffes. He’s human. Very few ministers are under the kind of microscopic scrutiny as the Pharisees have on Joel Osteen. When you find the perfect minister who never stumbles in what he says once in a while, I’d like to know who he is. Because you’ve missed something becasue that person doesn’t exist.

What the Pharisees don’t get, is God called him, against his will. He didn’t want to do this. There was no megachurch at the tine, only his pastor dad who had just died. After saying a number of times (to his dad and his wife before his dad died) he didn’t want to preach in front of a bunch of people (he’s naturally and shy introvert type that like to work behind the scenes), he felt God telling him he needed to step up.

Whatever formal training the Pharisees accuse him of not having, they need to take that up with God, not Joel. Joel was never planning on doing this, but unknown to Joel, God was. As a result, many including myself are blessed and have had their lives changed for the better, because Joel’s is not a teaching ministry but a ministry of encouragement.

The Joshua one's easy to miss on; after all it's quite early on in the book and you could possibly get confused with the Moses raising-his-arms-battle. The story of Shadrac, Meshac, and Abdnego and the Fiery Furnace though? That's Daniel, which is after a long time has passed from Moses.

I have a BIL that has been chasing the greenback all his adult life.

It used to be AMWAY, but now it is Osteen.

[Alex Murphy]

Mega-church pastor Joel Osteen may lead the largest Protestant church in the United States, but a recent Facebook post shows he might need to go back to Sunday school.

A Monday post to his verified Facebook page, Joel Osteen ministries, read: “God said in Numbers 11:23, ‘Moses, is there any limit to My power?’ He was saying, ‘Moses, you saw Me part the Red Sea, stop the sun for Joshua, keep three Hebrew teenagers safe in a fiery furnace, don’t you realize that I can bring water without rain?’ There’s no limit to God’s power.”

....There’s just one problem: According to the Bible, Moses was dead before Joshua asked God to stop the setting of the sun, and long before the three Hebrew youths were burned in the furnace.

Joel Osteen Heresy Gauge:

[hamboy]

Did Joel Osteen really read Numbers 11:23 word for word, or just paraphrased it?

Who is Tristyn Bloom anyway? Agigator? Atheist?

AFAIK church pastors whether mega church pastor or just big congregational church, the pastor dwells in the pastoral house that may not even theirs. Do the DailyCaller contributor really sure if it’s Joel Osteen’s privately owned $40 million house or it’s pastoral house?

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Please. God exists outside of His creation which includes the human concept of ^time^.
These separate items are well within the purview of God to reveal to anyone.
Although I do not agree with much of what Osteen “preaches”, this issue is moot.

[Jim Noble]

The notion that this Osteen miscreant is “America’s most popular pastor” is ridiculous.

[WKB]

Ping.

[RIghtwardHo]

Never been a fan of the “mega-Church” types. Haven’t seen one in it yet that isn’t in it for the money.

[RitaOK]

Poor Joel. So rich to be so impoverished. The little guy reminds me of an adolescent, a pup wagging it’s little tail and no clue that the house is on fire.

Just— “Be Happy”. (Meanwhile, happily burying his well earned bone$.)

[MNDude]

Wow, had no idea he was so popular!

[MNDude]

Speaking of misquoting scripture, why is it that Days of Ezekiel is sung in so many churches and no one seems to have a problem with the words:
“And these are the days of Your servant, David
Rebuilding a temple of praise”

Might as well as sign about the days of Moses building his ark.

[coincheck]

Numbers 11:23, and the LORD said to Moses, “is the LORD’s hand shortened? Now you shall see whether my word will come true for you or not. (ESV)

This passage comes from when the Israelites were complaining that they wanted meat to eat, and God gave it to them for a whole month, quail...they got sick of it. God said that He would give them so much meat that they would not want any more.

[Sans-Culotte]

LOL!
