“I think that Joel is a great human being”, by whose standards are ‘you’ basing this might I ask, God/Jesus’ or man’s???
“The guy has a front row seat in Heaven in my opinion”, thank the Lord you stated in ‘your opinion’, because I’d bet in God/Jesus’ economy this is most definitely NOT true.
Sorry to say Joel IS NOT a true minister of the true Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven, he’s a motivational speaker who waters down the gospel, and wants to soothe your ‘itching ears’ while he’s doing it.
We’re ‘called’ to preach the “whole consul of God”, not just what makes people feel good and comfortable. Joel and those like him need much prayer, and to get right with God/Jesus before it’s too late.

THANK YOU VAIRY ANGEL I COULDN’T HAVE SAID IT BETTER. SAY WHAT YOU WILL ABOUT MR. AND MRS. VAN IMPE BUT THAT MAN (AND HIS WIFE) LOVES JESUS CHRIST ALL TO PIECES, BUT I GUESS IT’S ALRIGHT WITH OTHERS TO KEEP LETTING THE ‘WOLVES IN SHEEPS CLOTHING’ INVADE THE CHURCH TO LEAD OTHERS ASTRAY. JESUS ‘IS’ COMING BACK AND SOMETHING TELLS ME IT’S GOING TO BE SOONER THAN ANY OF US COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE.

Yep, religion IS a scam, but PLEASE CHECK YOUR BIBLE TO FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF WHY GOD HIMSELF SPOKE OUT AGAINST IT, AND ONLY MADE ONE ‘GOOD’ REFERENCE TO IT????

I don’t remember him saying anything ‘against’ Sheen, so I have NO idea where that bit of info came from.
As for Rick Warren, if I’m not proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom, for what purpose would I have to be at any of those sessions?
The Lord never called us to be ‘friends’ with this world, or to hold hands and “Cum ba ya” (sorry if I spelled it wrong) with them who don’t acknowledge or believe in the same God and Savior that I do, just to give them the message of what Jesus (Yeshua Hamashiach) did for them and ALL mankind and let the Holy Spirit (Ruach Hakodesh) do the rest.
Mr. Warren is ‘playing a very dangerous game’ by what he’s doing if Jesus isn’t the main focus here, as for Schuller and his “power of positive thinking, new ageism way of thinking”, thrown in with a touch of the gospel we’ve known what he’s been about for many years now, and I pray to Almighty God that Schuller, Warren, and the rest of them get their acts together before the LORD calls them out of this earth. The truth is the light and it’s either Jesus Christ or hell, and that’s that.

“Personally, they embarrass me as a Christian”..So we should keep letting lies and hypocrasy fill the church then, by continuing to lead those who need God and Jesus astray is what you’re saying?? Don’t stand up for what’s right via the Bible, but keep allowing the devil to have his way by living the “better life”??? Yep, I now see just how quickly the book of Revelation is being fulfilled each and every day, and your comments are proof of that as well.

“Pathetic”, so it’s alright with you to keep lying to people, so that they might end up in hell by not knowing the truth??
If the Lord truly did ‘send’ Rick and Schuller to ‘preach His Word’, what’s stopping them from preaching the unadulterated version via the Bible, and NOT their own?
How many times is the word ‘sin’ or ‘sin not’listed in the Bible (so that we’d know what God is calling us to do and why), but Schuller and Joel Osteen refuse to even mention this word because they don’t want to offend anyone?
Are ‘you’ aware of the ‘fact’ that every word we’ve ever spoken, and action ever done is being recorded, and we’ll have to answer for it?
I pray to God that Rick Warren, Schuller (before he lays down to leave this earth), and others consult and get it right with the Lord because I also believe that time ‘is’ running out for us all.
