During a conversation with Joel Osteen and his wife Victoria Osteen, HuffPost Live’s Marc Lamont Hill asked whether gay marriage is against the fundamental “rules” of Christianity. Osteen responds by talking about how he doesn’t like to focus on that.

It doesn’t need to be either.
The problem is his answer seems evasive and clumsy.
Preachers need to preach. Sin is sin - just say it. Nobody respects a coward.
The bible begins with a marriage and ends with a marriage. It is Gods idea, and yes by design male and female.
Only fools and idiots follow this scoundrel.
I think we can ascertain from this that Joel is a Democrack
given his forthrightness he could do subsitute work for Barack Obama
Translation - “Gays buy my books, too.”
He is a nothing. Seriously.
If ya claim to Preach The Bible but dont accept the values therein....yup a big nothin
Who the heck is Joel Osteen?
Joel doesn’t want to say anything that would negatively impact his cash flow.
Joel, why not just reply with a Biblical answer? Does that not work for you?
Osteen makes my skin crawl.
Looks like the progressive finally have found an evangelist they might like.
He’s a feel good preacher. Make you feel good about your sins... Make millions off the sheeple.
Sexual Morality is the core of Christianity and the Bible. Throw out sexual morality with such absurdity like irrational “homosexual” marriage, and you throw out the Bible and God’s Word and Truth.
The Natural Family unit is the core of any civilization...and as such, sexual morality is key to the formation of the family unit and moral development of offspring, which is the Natural transmission of teaching Love/Respect and relationship between males and females and adults and children.
Without the Natural exposure to the biological mother and father performing and modeling good behavior and sex roles, doing their Natural Duty-—morality is not transmitted, nor is an understanding of Natural Law, the way God Designed Reality, which will be warped without that Natural structure. Understanding Truth is necessary for all Christians which includes understanding of the Nature of Man.
Creating a system which denies children their biological parent is pure Satanic evil, since it reduces women to breeders, sex to excrement (irrational), and children to be objects to be bought and sold. It mocks God’s Design of the human body and destroys the Beauty and Harmony and Creative Nature of the Sex Act.
Any Christian who does not adamantly condemn such intrinsically evil, dysfunctional behavior, that the Bible condemns as an “abomination”, is not a true Christian.
Another sell-out to the homosexual lobby
“Who the heck is Joel Osteen?”
2 Tim 4:3 -”For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires,”
Joel is for Joel’s bank account. Like the post above me, gays buy his books. The others who buy them are straight liberals and simply the misinformed who want to feel good about their failures. This isn’t a religious thread so it’s okay to say negative things about this fraud.
He's kinda' a weird looking guy with a mullet who's married to a pretty blonde who preaches Prosperity Christianity without any reference to the horrors of abortions or homosexual life styles. Hardly ever a Bible in his hand and can't find any crosses behind him anywhere.
He also closes his eyes when he turns his head . . . kinda' creeps me out.
So, no crosses, no Bible, and probably lots of collection baskets throughout his religious arena. Also got a $10.5 million ranch.
Gee, profiles in Gospel courage for this guy... /sarc
