Not surprised. After all he is not a Christian minister.

“How can you say that Gamecock!?!”

Because he denied the Gospel on national TV. Christian ministers don’t do that.

He is a priest of self-esteem.

Osteen isn’t a hell fire & brimstone type. That’s Hagee’s job.

YBPDLN PL Ping

The YBPDLNPL is generally published infrequently, but based on the exploits of the megachurch pastors posts can spike for a period of time. If you would like on or off of this list please FReepmail me

Problem is, he doen’t even know what he is.

Watch him on TV interviews. Every other phrase is “I don’t know.”

If those 45,000 attendees had an ounce of intelligence they would never have joined his “Church” to begin with. That few if any will choose to leave shows how moronic much of what Christian Evangelicals have become.

Osteen is a prosperity theologist.

I don't know where he gets his values, but it ain't the gospels.

What he preaches is a soft touchy-feely prosperity gospel. No “Onward Christian Soldiers” no standing up for God, for Jesus, for morality. Only soft, squishy, vague answers. He is going to pay unless he repents. Yeah, I’m judging, and I am using the Bible to judge.

What’s the difference between “gay and liberal” and just plain “liberal?”

The article appears suggesting that it's inappropriate for a minister to bless a mayor's term in office.

That's stupid.

Osteen’s book, with the title, Your Best Life Now should tell anyone with a bit of spiritual discernment that he doesn’t preach the Gospel message. I’m looking forward to eternity with the King of kings and Lord of lords! My best life will never be on this earth.

Why should this surprise anyone? Osteen is not a Christian, he is just another feel good speaker who’s silver tongue messages mask the evil he truly is.

I wonder if Osteen is even aware of the passage in the book of James warning of a Pastor receiving a “stricter” judgment for false preaching. Beware.

Going by mutated troglodytes like Michelle O, Hillary Clinton, Sonia Sotomayor, Janet Napolitano, Nancy Pelosi, and Janet Reno, I’d say “not much.”

Rev. Joel Osteen. Is your head spinning?

No.

Years back I predicted something like this, though even with all my powers of google-fu I cannot pull it up.

I like that term. Nailed it.
