Osteen doesn’t believe in the true Christ though....he’s a heretic.
“My husband and I watch Pastor Osteen’s program every chance we get”
If one is into the feel good, everyone goes to heaven brand of Christianity along with Rick Warren, then I imagine Osteen is the man for you.
I wouldn’t waste my time watching Osteen.
Thank you for posing this article, Saundra.
One wolf in sheep’s clothing standing up for the other.
Osteen is a slimy smarmy grifter of a snake-oil salesman.
Other than that I’m sure he’s a nice fellow.
As a pastor he should know better and speak the truth. Has he disavowed the Holy Spirit? Don’t Mormons believe that Jesus and Satan are brothers? Just goes to show you have to know the Bible for yourself.
Osteen = Clueless about Mormonism
Osteen is deluding millions of people with his prosperity gospel. I think he got started innocently enough, but he now numbers among the deceived.
I was not aware that Joel Osteen was a mormon.
Or is he just an idiot?
I was not aware that Osteen believed that Jesus and Lucifer are brothers.
Osteen should have added like me “he believes in the prosperity gospel, is a fraud, and knows how to enrich himself.”
Is Osteen a Christian?
—I realize Mormonism is different from Christianity...—
Osteen knows more than I thought.
Looks to me like Osteen doesn’t know the difference between Jesus the Word who created this world and is God or Jesus the created brother of angels or Jesus the Mexican guy down the street.
If Osteen’s faith in Christ is no greater than that of JugEars, then Osteen is in sad shape.
—And to me, that’s strong.—
What exactly does that mean? Hitler was strong. Satan is strong. But neither is/was “strong enough”.
Osteen is a moron and has left the reservation. When you start preaching “name and claim it” you have gone over the cliff.
Not surprising you feel a kinship, he is not preaching Biblical concepts any longer.
The full name of the Mormon religion is Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. So the Mormons do have some fealty with the historic figure Jesus Christ, and it is part of their testament.
Some could allow themselves to despise others for their interpretation of who Christ was, and what He is supposed to signify, but that in no way makes that person a “better” Christian, or even a better human being.
In my personal contact with the LDS people of Utah, they have been known for being honest in their dealings, hard-working in all their endeavors, and willing to step forth with alacrity and extend a helping hand when they see a stranger who may have stumbled. But no matter how well you might deal with them in the market place, it is a rare thing indeed for a non-Mormon to come visit a Mormon in his own home.
And some find this off-putting.
This does not surprise me one little bit.
