I don't see it in the outside of his church
Hard to see anything on the inside as well...

Joel Osteen just creeps me out. His entire demeanor says “slick used car salesman”.
Why does it seem Victoria Osteen accompanies Joel on all his interviews?
Is she working levers in his back?
I wonder what Bible he’s reading out of.
RE: His entire demeanor says “slick used car salesman”.
44,000 people seem to buy him on Sunday ( not to mention the millions worldwide who watch him on TV ).
Amen - gives me the willies...
RE: I wonder what Bible he’s reading out of.
I believe he uses the New International Version (NIV) in his sermons.
He is a snake oil salesman in the truest sense..
I’ve heard some TV preachers don’t even want crosses in their churches. Has anyone ever seen one in Joel’s church?
I haven’t on his TV broadcasts.
You know what Jesus said about those who were lukewarm. He might say that he loves the Lord, but he does not seem to be a defender of the faith. He can’t take a stand on anything, how courageous.
Yes, they do.
My impressions are just mine. I just can’t connect with him at all. I felt the same way about Robert Schuler.
Maybe it’s his delivery... way too rehearsed. I’m accustomed to pastors who speak from their hearts, without looking like they’re acting in a movie.
And most people in the world will be in hell. Shows the allure of Satan.
He’s afraid of taking definitive public stances because he knows it will hurt his popularity. He has a mega church and books. Some of his followers are cafeteria Christians who like the feel good sermons but reject Biblical teachings on social issues like abortion and gay marriage. A priest or pastor has to be bold and proclaim the word of Christ without fear of retribution, and Osteen is afraid to do that.
You may find that strong, but I assure you, Osteen belongs to his father, the devil.
He is not of God and is definitely not saved. There are few people we can say that about, but you can tell by his “gospel” and message.
He is a person working for his father, the devil to infiltrate the church.
I am with you. There is just something about him that screams, “fraud”.
I only watched this guy twice 10 years ago and I never heard him mention Jesus so I turned him off.
From what I understand,
he doesn’t give much “bible” in his church,
mostly the new agey “god within you” crap.
