He doesn’t know theology. He is neither ordained nor seminary trained. He inherited the congregation from his father.
Cannot stand this guy.
Televagilist rockstar, that’s all that person is; trying to woo the crowd in a, oh so secular way. Here is another example of the reason why Christianity is going down the rat hole of history. If you have to sell faith, it isn’t worth having. This also gives the secular society more ammunition to help further dig our graves.
We see that problem with Govorner McDonnell in Virginia, with Osteen, and with others ~ even Sarah is less than direct with respect to what a total doufous Romney is. Then there are the strict church folks, not all that different, like the old gal from Minnesota ~ she just couldn't get it in her head that a guy who belongs to a church that tells you that you aren't Christian is probably not deserving of being a Christian himself.
Maybe it was better when this crowd were boycotting politics.
I watch neither but if I had to pick one it would be Joel. I see nothing at all redeeming in watching any Sunday morning political indoctrination show that comes from NY or Wash.
Now, about Osteen, he meets the description of a sort described in the Bible as someone to avoid.
Osteen was also asked about President Obama’s faith. Osteen said he has spent time with Obama and has no doubt that he is a Christian.
Oh Yeah??? Where are his baptismal records???, Where and when was he baptized???
Obamamaumau is a Muslim Marxist in thought, word, and deed.
I cannot stand his sleazy delivery and his “it’s just all about being positive” faith. He might have a big following, but I consider him a charlatan - just my opinion. It has nothing to do with what he just stated, but it doesn’t surprise me with his watered-down version of Christianity.
What a puke in action that fraud is!
Fraud olsteen would never call sin what it is either so I expect this from him.
Joel Osteen is the fake christian type who will be all gungho about Chrislam, if he believes it will increase his wealth and power. He is the useful idiot type to the antiChrist.
I don’t shive a git about what Joel Osteen says or thinks.
The Lord says...”Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”
(Matthew 7:15)
“Three for three?”
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? (Matthew 7:16)
Done with him.
I don’t trust a man in a mullet....
Romney is NOT a Christian...he involves himself in the cultic practices of the Mormonism...not Christian at all.
My brother asked me to attend an Osteen Service long before they moved to the Summit in Houston. I vividly remember 3 things. First - Parking. We had to park across the street and the parking spots on the church grounds were for the staff. Nothing but Caddies, Lexus’, Beamers etc...
Second - Music and band was first rate. However, after the band it was Victoria’s turn. She pitched the need to donate and tithe. 30 mins worth of how important it is.
Third - Friend of a friend, golf partner etc... quit his pharma job to work for the church. Could not afford his car payment so he sold it. Prayed that he would find transportation. Sum of his prayer - Specific make, year and model of BMW. Result - Church member gave him specific make, model and year of BMW he prayed for.
Bottom line - He is a motivational speaker at best, living off the donations of his “flock.” Never went back, and never will again.
FWIW.
