The way to heaven is not through wealth building or a self help group for those on earth. The way to heaven is the narrow way -the golden mean- he does not even touch on christian morality.

I agree with you sibling in Christ!

The "TRUE" test of a person ordained by God or a false-teacher is how they "use" the Word of God. IF the person uses the Name of Jesus in their testimony or preaching, then that is a significant difference over someone who uses the word "God" in place of Jesus. Joel and his wife rarely, if ever, use the Name of Jesus in their sermons! Watch for yourself, listen, and learn the difference between a "false" prophet and the "true" man of God. You be the judge.....

As soon as i learned he lived in a multi-MILLION dollar mansion, had exotic sports cars and $5,000 suits I assumed he was a FRAUD.

Thread is from 2011, 2013, and now.

I guess it's not a bad run.

Nothing I will say that hasn't been said. He is a good speaker. I don't think he offers the Christian gospel. He lives a good life. I am not sure that is enough to redeem others or the basis of spiritual beliefs. As others have said, G-d will judge him in the final days.

Remember Anthony Robbins? Osteen teachings are similar, directed toward self improvement.

But there's this guy down here in Texas I sort of like. He seems sincere and he's not too much with the Fire and Brimstone, which suits me fine.
So I was just wanting to get your opinions of Joel Osteen. What do you guys like and/or dislike about him.
Thanks for your interest!
It is written. Beware of the levan of the scribes Pharisees hypocrites who love to dress in long clothing

These same people preach for pay and prophesy for hire.
It is written a gift blinds the eyes of the wise
But these wolves take gifts for preaching and pay for prophesying
It is written when u pray enter into thy closet pray in private the father who see in secret shall reward thee openly. These wolves pray In the streets and in the synagogues and on tv in front of many people so the people can believe they are righteous.

It is written satan is transformed as am angel of light so like wise his ministers is transformed as the ministers of righteousness

What does all this mean?

Joel osteen is a wolf, he is not gods anointed.
He is a hypocrite and his father is the devil
He does the lust of his father and the world believes he is righteous because the world is in darkness

A true prophet,minister or apostle of The Lord the world hates them because they are the light of the world

Apparently, everyone wants their own belief system (B.S.), as adversity resides within that great chasm of Religion, which separates humanity.

O wise man test the words that was spoken to u this day.
If u see Joel osteen ever in private and a u see a poor man in hated clothing and hard to look upon for the affliction is in his appearance and that poor man ask him (Joel osteen) for bread and water. Maybe a dollar if he can spare. And if all these things happen when the camra is not rolling and men not watching.

Watch what he do.

The righteous if put in that situation would meet the poor mans desire and give with out sparring

If the beggar asked for 1dollar the righteous would give him a hundred

If the beggar did not ask the righteous would go to the city with 400 dollars and return home with dust in his pockets for the sake of the beggar who cried to the holy one

All these things u will see in the streets by chance if u spot the merciful

But the people with a heart that Joel osteen has u will see good when the camaras rolling or when men watching but in private u would see his hands stained with the blood of the righteous.

Like a wolf devours his pray with his pack in the snowy mountains of the earth

The Church says: All these things I will give you, if you fall down and worship me.
They cannot all be right; but they can all be wrong, Padawan? (Big Grin)
