There’s a large sum of people that play the “keep up with the joneses” game which means going to the “elite” church. I don’t think that many people put much stock into him or his sermons as it’s more of a flex to go to the big popular church and be a “somebody” there. People are gross.

Yes. I asked for a specific criticism of Osteen not some 30,000 foot view of Jesus’ philosophies on success.

Houstons finest right here. What a fraud. How the F do people still believe in this coward- are they so hopeless as individuals that they can't even think a complete thought by themselves?

I don’t know how people believe any religious mumbo jumbo.

Jews, Protestants, Catholics, Muslims, Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, etc. The vast majority are indoctrinated into these religions at a young age and none believe there’s any chance they’re wrong.

Insane.

If that’s your complaint than I like Osteen more than ever. And you still didn’t use an example of Osteen in your rebuke.


Scripture is complete in its rebuke.

No. Being an admirer of him is exhausting. All you fellows hate on him and just throw out bullshite. It reminds me of when Coldplay had just released their best album which was undeniably great (Viva La Vida) and idiots were comparing them to Nickelback because it was the socially accepted view.

Osteen is the most entertaining and inspirational pastor I’ve ever seen. I’ve yet to see a legitimate criticism of him from someone who has actually watched or listened to one of his sermons. It’s just laziness and repeating what you think or what you heard.

This is what I don't really get about these pastors, such as Osteen. OK so they preach about Jesus and all of this worshipping to our Savior, etc. I mean that's perfectly fine. Jesus was humble in all senses of the word. God did not choose His Son to be born wealthy and in an extravagant lifestyle. Why then, are these pastors so hungry for money, live a luxurious lifestyle, crave the attention they get (as well as more donations), dress like GQ gentlemen and are so capitalistic in every sense of the word? Where's the humility, the humble approach, the need to give back?
Fvck these guys.

Oh man. If you really want to talk about "truth", start asking for physical proof within your religion.

There aren’t slivers of Christianity. There’s only the correct Gospel and False gospels, and we’ve been dealing with them since the very beginning. False gospels and false prophets have been around for a long time.


Judging what is correct and what is not correct is the duty of everyone. We are not to accept everyone who simply claims to represent Christ, but use scripture as our measuring stick. If it doesn’t line up with scripture, then it is not of God. There are a whole lot of itching ears, and people who scratch them in the days in which we live today. Buyer beware.

I can’t believe how hard you’re knighting for this slimy sack of shite it’s impressive . The same guy who can’t figure out how to talk to his boss about stealing his hotel points is now knighting for Joel fricking Osteen. Incredible.

Not trolling. Coldplay / Osteen is a great analogy which is probably why you think it’s a troll.

The Lord works in mysterious ways

Joel would say about that situation: “Don’t spend your weekend worrying about something that hasn’t happened yet. The Lord knows your concerns - enjoy your weekend and leave it in the hands of the most high God. God has got this.”

And he’d be right.

I'm pretty sure the Catholic Church and SBC don't have theology that promotes the virtues of pederasty. Joel Osteen openly teaches heretical Christian doctrine.

Fair point and I guess I’d say that if you hate Osteen for not being fire and brimstone that’s legit. But how many of the sanctioned “Christian” churches in America still are fire and brimstone?

Got to be under 1%.

He’s surely better than all the lesbian run sects that make 75% of their money resettling Muslims from Africa into small American towns? He’s surely better than all the Catholic Churches with their creepy no marriage rules which have fostered child abuse for over a century
