Is it ethical for anyone to amass a huge fortune? I think the answer in both cases is really dependent on how that 'fortune' (really blessing from God) is used to glorify Him. And ultimately we answer to Him for how well or not we did.
The whole site is satire.
The line between “satire” and “false witness” may be fine indeed, but this piece is definitely on the wrong side of it.
And not just a pool, it's been blessed by Joel himself.
And verily the blessed Vickie herself has cleansed herself in its waters and pronounced it good.
Satire but so like that scumbag. LOL
Oh he deserves it all right.
As for JO, he's an ear tickler. Luke 17:1-2 applies.
Joel Osteen barely qualifies as a Christian. He’s a com artist. A feel good prosperity preacher (his prosperity first and foremost) who can’t bring himself to denounce gay marriage or abortion.
Haveth Satan corrupted the Chipotle burrito Vickie consumed before service?
Verily it's sulfurous fumes haveth overwhelmedeth me.
While this article is satire- it amazes me how fast the world bared their fangs when someone who preaches- somewhat- the gospel is involved in a bad situation and didn’t jump through liberal hoops fast enough to quell the vicious wailing/demands of the left-
how many people in this storm has bill gates helped? George Soros? The clintons? Madonna? Bruce Springstein? etc etc etc- Why haven’t they rented out large buildins to house the many peopel affected temporarily? Why aren’t they truckign in food and water like Donald Trump did when New Orleans I think it was flooded a few years ago?
I don’t support Joel at all in his heretical teachings, but it is unfair to be piling on him for not opening his church when the megarich in texas didn’t open their buildings either- Joel actually had reasons for not opening- as the flooding was hitting his church as well- yet the anti-Christian MSM hungrily jumped at the first innocuous chance they saw to criticism him without knowign any of the facts first-
MSM- Scum-
Church of the blow-dried saints.
Yes indeed
Olstein is an as* and so are some of his critics.
Money commeth!!!
.....Creflo Dollar
OMG those fools who bought this story. Sooo gullible.
:: I dont support Joel at all in his heretical teachings, but it is unfair to be piling on him ::
Uhnnnng! If you find him an heretic, why are you concerned about his feelings?
Would you have rebuked Christ for calling the Pharisees “whitewashed tombs” because He hurt their feelings?
To quote Luther, “Preachers of heresy should be driven from the village and pelted with dung!”
Send me $1000 and a son will be cured of alcoholism. Send me $1000 and a daughter will be cured of drug abuse. Use money you set aside for retirement, if necessary.

Maybe because the article is totally fake? Just a thought.
