Joel Osteen teaches Christians about pork!

Posted on 09/28/2012 6:35:38 AM PDT by Gamecock

Osteen denies Christ. (FR Thread)

Osteen will not condem homosexuality.(FR Thread)

But he does teach us not to eat pork! He of course appeals to the OT.

I guess he has never read the following:

"Are you so dull?" he asked. "Don't you see that nothing that enters a man from the outside can make him 'unclean'? (Mark 7:18) NIV

Or

Acts 10:9 The next day, as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the housetop about the sixth hour2 to pray. 10 And he became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while they were preparing it, he fell into ha trance 11 and saw the heavens opened and something like a great sheet descending, being let down by its four corners upon the earth. 12 In it were all kinds of animals and reptiles and birds of the air. 13 And there came a voice to him: “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.” 14 But Peter said, “By no means, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.” 15 And the voice came to him again a second time, m“What God has made clean, do not call common.” 16 This happened three times, and the thing was taken up at once to heaven. (ESV)

Once again Osteen whiffs at the most basic of Christian teaching.

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.

Olteen has lost his way and become self important.

Sorry to the Osteen devotees on FR but Osteen is to genuine Christianity what Obama's pastor, Rev. Wright is.

Both use the label but both preach and teach their own brand of it. They are the ones to which The Lord will say, "I never knew you."

Modern day Elmer Gantry. What a con man. (His wife’s a piece of work, too.)

Interesting post. Thank you for sharing

If I am not mistaken, did not one of the major religious networks remove Jack Van Impe from their lineup because he started pointing this out about some of these “megapastors”.

The previous FR links on this issue were very informative.

Osteen is a puppet controlled by his wife and brother-in-law.

Suggestion, start your own ministry... It is very easy to criticize someone else. It is another to take action..

Ping to #5.

What’s the deal with his brother-in-law? Haven’t heard that one.

Suggestion: Read Scripture. We are called to discern and be aware of false teachers.

Yet did not the Apostle Peter was given a “vision” of a cloth showing all the different animals with the command from the Lord, “take, kill, eat?”

Which from what I see, frees Christians from observing any Mosaic dietary laws.

That vision was meant to enlighten Jews to accept Gentiles as worthy of Gods love. The “food” that Jesus taught was of the teachings of the rabbis. Jesus did not eat pork and neither did the disciples. The priests would have seized on that immediately and loudly to discredit them. Jesus was already accused of Sabbath breaking, but what He did was not only allowable but condoned. To heal on the Sabbath is in harmony with the creators plan.

A great suggestion. Scripture is the best guide to expose false teachers.

As the old Popell adverts used to say....IT REALLY REALLY WORKS!

Woke up this morning to the smell of BACON! Don’t know where it came from as I live close, but not too close, a heavy Seventh Day Adventist area. It wasn’t us as my wife wasn’t up yet.

Now it is time to fry up some of this heavenly food and add a couple of home grown eggs from my hens to go with it!

If the aroma drifted down the valley I wonder if the SDArs croaked when it passed under their noses.

Pardon me for being dull but what does YBPDLNPL stand for?
