Joel Osteen is a false teacher. He is not preaching the Gospel of Grace (1 Cor 15: 1-4). He is teaching we all can be good little boys and girls and gain Heaven. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG AND WRONG!!! I don't watch him. I don't buy his tons of expensive books that is making him rich. People think they can just be good and go to Heaven. NO! You have to Believe in Jesus Christ! You cannot earn your way into Heaven. You cannot buy your way in. You cannot do good works and say I gave here, I did this and this and this. I never did wrong. Dudden matter folks. Won't get you in. The Holy Bible is CLEAR on this fact! Many misunderstand "works." The good works you do are WHAT YOU DO IN HIS NAME AFTER you have been saved! What you do for Him after you accept Him. DON'T LISTEN TO FALSE TEACHERS LIKE OSTEEN!

Its sad to say that there are less and less good religious programs on TV anymore. The current generation is filled with preachers who claim you can pray for money or a house or to get out of your troubles. Prayer is the answer to getting through troubles, not getting out of them or living the good life without effort. I usually start watching one and begin liking him or her, then hear than nonsense and turn it off. Osteen is one of them.

I have no use for TV preachers. People send their money in but when they need help they show up at their local church.

That sounds like stinking thinking. You just don't like prosperity theology because you're jealous that those with more faith are always getting blessed more than yourself. But, don't get mad, get better. I can help. If you are now willing to exercise the faith you should already have if you're a good follower of Christ, if you are willing to be blessed, just send me all of your money and I'll personally see to it that you are blessed beyond your wildest dreams. And if your sex life is not all you dreamed, just send me naked photos of your wife, and I'll analyze them according to scripture and then give you personalized tips on improving your most intimate moments. Heck if you let me sleep with her I'll let you in on secret ways to enlarge your manhood encoded into the scriptures that nobody else knows, and give you secret a secret of pre-forgiveness that will allow you to sleep with anybody you want with no penalty! But wait, there's more! /S

I have never understood how so many people keep watching and listening to Osteen. You’d think after a few times, they’d figure out that “there’s nothing to see here” and move on.

“And a preacher on the old time gospel hour
Stealing money from the sick and the old
Well the God I believe in isn't short of cash, mister!” U2

When channel surfing, whenever I come across one of these charlatans, I watch just long enough to hear the call for MONEY MONEY MONEY - the god they truly worship.

It doesn't take long, over 50% of the time they are already engaged in a rambling request for donations of their one true god.
