Wow. This man has changed my life and made me open my BIBLE when it had been collecting dust for years. I could care less what criticizers say cuz he is obviously doing good for people.
listen to 4:42-5:08 that shows u right there he's preaching error and decieving the people he needed to say "improve their life with Jesus".And it doesnt matter to him what faith other ppl believing as long as he's church stays full, he's making money and he's given the ppl what they want and what they wanna hear.His goal is twisted,you lead them to Jesus not for living a better life for their own sake.
@Jacobsdaballer Just going to say, not allowing people in your church due to their belief isn't a good way to lead them to Jesus. Compassion to all, not just the Christians was taught extensively in the bible. Whoever YOU are learning your bible from must be teaching error. I haven't bought his book, I'm only very loosely considered a Christian. All I see from you is hypocrisy and false placed hatred.
@TNstarcraft Duhhh You just said something extremely obvious...I never said anything about not showing compassion and cutting off other ppl with diffrent faiths out of the church.Where did you get that from?? I was saying that Ostenn goal is twisted hes says he dont care about what other ppl believe because his goal is to help people lmprove their life. as in thinking positive, living happy and healthier.However,there is nothing wrong with that.But the main key is to teach Salvation.
@TNstarcraft His goal isnt to lead ppl to Jesus.He goal is to help people live a /healthier life on their own,but ihave God on the side to cater to their needs. Thats pretty much what he is saying.
@Jacobsdaballer , its a shame when a pastor's main goal is to let people have better lives instead of coming to know Jesus. And he says it doesn't bother him. THAT IS VERY SAD. Present comfort, happiness or wealth must never be at the expense of eternal life. NEVER.
Joel I will come to your church and teach your people all the things YOU DO NOT KNOW. Jung, Plato, History, Bushnell. OK? And hey FREE, no pay, No offerings,,FREEE hahaha..lol. Can't Why? God never spoke to me to go. lol *if you give you will be blessed* Not true. Only if the one you gave to is a Chosen Few.
Woe unto you spiritually dead ones, the scriptures speaks to you who are boastful, vile, and contemptuous, “The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. Isaiah 2:11, The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts. Psalm 10:4, A man's pride shall bring him low, but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit. “Proverbs 29:23
Woe unto you spiritually dead ones, the scriptures speak to you who fall at the feet of these abominations of deceit, The fear of the LORD is to hate evil, pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. Proverbs 8:13 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears, And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 2 Timothy 4:3-4
Woe unto you spiritually dead ones, the scriptures speak to you who seeks the wisdom of fools, “The prophets prophesy lies, the priests rule by their own authority, and my people love it this way. But what will you do in the end?” Jeremiah 5:31 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD. Isaiah 30-9 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom “ Proverbs 11:2
Woe unto you spiritually dead ones, the scriptures speak to you who are proud of heart and haughty, “To fear the LORD is to hate evil, I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech Proverbs 8:13, Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.” Proverbs 16:5 ,” Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before stumbling. “Proverbs 16:18
Woe unto you spiritually dead ones, you who do not walk with a spirit of conviction but of contempt, the scriptures speak of those who cause divisiveness, to those who are contemptuous, to those who are railers, to those who are bitter, harsh and derisive, “But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railor, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.” 1 Corinthians 5:11
Woe unto you spiritually dead ones , the scriptures speak to you whose walk is disorderly and who exhibit despicable attributes regarding the brethren, For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. 2 Thessalonians 3:11. “Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.” 2 Thessalonians 3:6
Woe unto you spiritually dead one, scripture speaks to you who sit before your altar of a perversity, for it is the lot of those who are perishing and who have chosen not to abide in Him. We who are called will not be dissuaded by the feeble minded, for we are the children of God. “If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. John 15:6
ITS NOT ABOUT TRYNA "LIVE YOUR best life now" your life on earth is just to prepare you for eternity, save souls, and preach the gospel.ITS not about teaching in a motivational speaker type of way.Its about teaching salvation bringin ppl to the Lord,and discipiling others.
@Jacobsdaballer :::: To use English correctly, it is necessary to pay attention to spelling. Otherwise, how will we be certain of what you are saying? What is 'discipiling'? And tryna.?
@k0smon im not gonna even waste my time arguin with you because ur stubborn and ignorant. soo... keep being the hoe of Joel osteen cuz thats exactly how ur acting...and he's making money off of fools like you. =]] (harsh truth)
@Jacobsdaballer ::: An opinion is neither true not false, that is what you have, just an opinion. You cannot tell the difference between truth and falsehood; that is why you cover your ignorance with name-calling. While you are living for Jesus, try to take on some of his positive traits.
LRon Hubbard once said, want to be rich? Become a politician or start a Church, & he did, Church of Scientology! 89% of Americans R Christian, spending yrs in church, majority still cannot quote a single verse from the Bible. They hum along to hundreds of songs recorded by artist, but Never Read or Study the word of God. They depend on TV preachers, to get them to Heaven, when actually the majority R no more than scam artist, singing a different tune leading them to slaughter.
@TheAntiochus ::: The people Joel addresses his sermon to are already saved. The bible does reference prosperity. John 10:10 Psalms 35:27 Your accusations are false. You need to repent.
@k0smon - Neither of those passages relate in any way shape or form to money...you need to study harder. Nothing in the bible says to pray for money, or that positive imagery and thinking will change your day or outcome.
Is this you call a preacher of god who is inventing a church! Imagine, there is already a Church in the bible and this you called a man of god build his own church..There is no -The New Lakewood Church- in the bible. Is this you a call a follower of god who never attacks to other beliefs and using fine words but bring you to a invented church? Poor millions of people who are victims of this man. Do not rely your souls to a church not anywhere found in the bible. Log on to.. theoldpath .tv
O spiritually dead ones, the scriptures speak to you who is callous, to you who is heartless, to you who is arrogant and to you who is demanding, “For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth. I will break down your stubborn pride. Psalm 10:3 They close up their callous hearts, and their mouths speak with arrogance Psalm 17:10 Let their lying lips be silenced, for with pride and contempt they speak arrogantly against the righteous. Psalm 31:18
O spiritually dead ones, scripture speaks much to the deceitfulness from the mouth of the fool, “The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools. Proverbs 26:7 A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes. Proverbs 18:6 A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul. A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul. “Proverbs 18:7
O spiritually dead ones, scripture speaks much to those who are abominations of deceit, who is the fool, who has no regard for truth, “The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil. Proverbs 13:19 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. Proverbs 13:20 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit. “Proverbs 14:8
O spiritually dead ones, scripture speaks much to those who lips speak perversely, “Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee. Proverbs 4:24 He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief Proverbs 17:20 Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool “Proverbs 19:1
@Rylucero So let me ask if you have perverse lips don't speak at all? I am wondering does silence benefit one? Anyways Joel needs a reality check with God and so do I and many who are luke warm Christ followers :( It is really a sad thing to know that exists.
O spiritually dead ones, the scriptures speak to you who despise what is just, who distort truth, and who give reverence to fools, “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.” 2 Peter 2:1-2
O spiritually dead ones, you who do not abide in His word but in folly, for the word speaks to your foolishness, cry out to your god of carnality, lay low below your altar of deceit for you are but a fool, prone to falsehood. The scripture speaks to your waywardness, “Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you” John 15:2-3
The quotable false teacher and false prophet Joel Osteen speaking, “You can cancel out God's plan by speaking negative words. God works by laws You may have sickness in your body, you need to call in health. You may be in debt, you need to boldly say that you are the head and not the tail. Fear is a force just like faith is a force. If you give into fear and start to dwell on that junk and start to act on it, that fear can actually bring things to pass just like faith can bring things to pass. “
The quotable false teacher and false prophet Joel Osteen speaking, “Satan says, Listen, Jesus, you're on my turf now. You don't have a chance down here. You're surrounded by my demons. We're going to tear you apart. And Jesus just smiles and says, “Go ahead, Satan, make my day!” Jesus says, “Look, Satan, I'm down here to take care of business. I'm ready to do battle. I don't want to be here any longer than I have to be because it stinks down here.”
The quotable false teacher and false prophet Joel Osteen speaking, The Bible indicates that for three days, Jesus went into the very depths of hell. Right into the enemy's own territory. And He did battle with Satan face to face. Can you imagine what a show down that was? It was good vs. evil. Right vs. wrong. Holiness vs. filth. Here are the two most powerful forces in the universe have come together to do battle for the first time in history.
The quotable false teacher and false prophet Joel Osteen speaking, He went over and ripped the keys of death and hell out of Satan's hands. And He grabbed Satan by the nap of his neck and He began to slowly drag him down through the corridors of Hell. All beat up and bruised because He wanted to make sure that every single demon saw very clearly that Jesus was indeed the undisputed Champion of all time!”
Joel Osteen is great! Love him. The only pastor I can listen to. And those, who criticize him, are simply too narrow-minded . He is talking in broader terms than just reiterating the Bible. He is more of a life coach than a preacher. He is inspiring people!
And to those, who call him a heretic :) Remember, Martin Luther and protestants were also once called heretics
@19ClairCognizance87 Clair, if you would like to continue this conversation on Facebook I would be fine with that. These reply boxes do not allow for enough words to fully answer you question. And i hope that by talking to you, you will stop following this false teacher and see the true Love of God. I only respond because God has called me to love my neighbor (everyone I come in contact with) as myself. I want you to spend eternity with the God who created you for a relationship with him.
@19ClairCognizance87 even if humans fail to share the Gospel with everyone, everyone has still had an opportunity to either accept or reject God. Jesus says in Luke 19:40 “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.” So even if man fails to share with everyone, or if someone is sheltered they will still have an opportunity to accept Christ as there saviors. Again, we are only called to tell everyone about Christ. We are not told to tell people how to become better
@19ClairCognizance87 well, that is not the issue that is raised by this video. but i will answer your question anyways. Jesus says in Matthew 28:19 - "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit!" In the world we live in today there is almost no one who hasn't been told about Jesus Christ and the free gift of salvation that he offers.
@19ClairCognizance87 this isn't just my opinion. Those are his words. He is so close to being Biblically accurate that his lies are not noticed as the heresies that they are. In another interview he couldn't even answer the simple question, is Christianity / believing in Jesus the only way to heaven? the Bible is very clear. jesus says, "No one comes to the Father, except through me" As a Pastor in the Christian church how is he not able to answer that question? the devil has deceived him
this guy just talks about how he wants to help to make peoples lives better or improved. He doesn't care what religion they are. he just wants to improve there life. This is a crock of shit!! His goal, as a pastor, should be to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ to everyone so that they may have eternal life. John 3:16-17.....he should not be allowed to call himself a pastor in the Christian Church.
@bpatton1 ::: Joel has stated that he addresses his sermons to Christians, he teaches Christian living. Those who are members of his church get to decide if he is their pastor, not you. You need to clean out your own crock !!
O spiritually dead ones, you know nothing of the things of God, for the natural man is opposed to those things which are spiritual and so then is unable to discern sacred truths that are given by God to His children because they instead have chosen to seek after the fleshy wisdom of fools, This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. James 3:15, These are the men who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit. Jude 19
O spiritually dead ones, fall quickly before the altar of prosperity and wretchedness, sit with much anticipation awaiting your riches, for the foolish man seeks after temporal things for he has no heart for God because he is spiritually dead. Quickly, defend these fools for you have no desire for godly wisdom nor to glorify Him, for you have only contempt for spiritual knowledge and wisdom. Fall quickly before this altar, you who loathe His children, detest His attributes and despise His word.
O spiritually dead ones, stand before your altar of materialism, for it is the lot of the natural man who is an enemy of God, who is not submissive, nor meek, nor humble, nor patient, nor full of love, nor willing to submit to the father but only to the lusts of the flesh and the wisdom of men. You who seek fleshy wisdom for you are carnal, rebellious, disobedient and haughty. You who are helpless and lost regarding the things of God because you have placed your faith in the wisdom of men.
O spiritually dead ones, you do not walk in righteousness, but in contempt and disobedience. You wear no robe of humility but one of pride and arrogance. Your desire is to be submissive to these false teachers and prophets because of your foolishness and pride that has no place for grace because grace is given only to the humble and pure of heart. Fall before the alter of prosperity and materialism, for that is your true desire and reward.
O spiritually dead ones, scripture speaks to you who have chosen to fall before your gods of carnality and idolatry, to you who stand before your altar of deceit, to you who pay homage to these fools who teach these doctrines of devils, for to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Romans 8:6, But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition, Timothy 6:9
O spiritually dead ones, pay homage to these fools who teach these despicable doctrines because you have chosen to venerate them for they have become your idols, submit and adore them for you walk among the dead, Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked. Revelation 3:17
Osteen on O'Reilly was asked if he believed if Jesus was the way, the truth & the life, the only way to God. Osteen ignored the ?-? , saying he doesn't get into that. Indicative of his broad positive approach that attracts the masses. A pastor is called to feed the flock the whole counsel of God- from Genesis to Revelation. People interpret his soft-spoken manner as exhibiting a Christ-like spirit & ignore the non-Biblical content traded in for a motivational spiritual pep talk !
Osteen , a "church" the size of a shopping mall, lives in a mansion, a private jet, doesn't have a lot to say about God!
J Osteen ,John Francis, Benny Hinn, creflo dollar, Don Stewart , P.Popoff, con men.
Osteen, a motivational speaker. not a man of God. a false prophet if you will.
Its scary , people who believe in Christianity feel the need to buy their way in. These men are frauds. it's a sign of R time.TV, love of $, little Biblical teaching = con man Osteen!
Where the heck is Jesus Christ in this? We can do nothing aside from Christ and all things through Him. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
Seeking fulfillment through self improvement without Christ is like a house trying to build itself without a carpenter.
This is so cringeworthy... Joel Osteen is an amazing guy... but his work is so unchristian... the Bible does not say that God will reward you if you give, the Bible says if you don't accept Christ as your saviour, you'll go to hell... Joel Osteen is what I used to think Christianity was... love, positivity, hope, happiness... Christianity was a tool used in the Middle Ages to keep the lower classes down - in fact it DISCOURAGES people from money, equality of the sexes, happiness in this life.
Ive never in my life, seen a man attacked so much for encouraging others......He's not perfect, but when it comes down to it, judge a tree by it's fruit, how can one go wrong with the fruit of hope??
Ive never in my life, seen a man attacked so much for encouraging others......He's not perfect but when it comes down to it, judge a tree by it's fruit, how can one go wrong with the fruit of hope??
@CollinMichael His fruits are greed, selfishness, and dishonesty. He is not out to save people. He is out to sell a book. A Mercedes Benz is not going to save you from the holy wrath of God, neither is happiness. He tells the people what they want to hear, but not the truth. People would rather sit and rot in their lies, than have their sins exposed in the truth. Joel Osteen is a wolf. Yes, he has hope, but that hope is not in Christ. He relies on wealth for happiness and not Christ. It is sad.
@phillipeeno2 I guess in a sense its possilbe. We will be great in mans eyes. We will have good things. We will be happy....But we will still be condemed to hell.
i cant really understand that there is so many people that listen to this obtuse guy.if you want the real truth....you tube ...why didnt anybody tell me
This I say, therefore, and testify IN THE LORD, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the VANITY of their mind. Ephesians 4:17. The Holy Spirit is indwelling those who are IN Christ by the gift of faith which is not of ourselves, we are not to engage in mind games & other such foolishness, but to walk in the Spirit ¬ fulfill the lusts of the flesh. These false prophets are full of covetousness & greed, the devil, if you will, do not follow these blind leaders.
This has nothing to do with ego, but everything to do with false teaching. The bible is the standard. Your statement cannot be backed up by Gods word. When you choose to make personal, unscriptural comments then you are actually the one involving ego.
@joseph82069 You err in that Joel does not speak to the 'lost', he speaks to Christians. You only think it is God's word. It isn't. I say so, Bart Ehrman says so. God would have done a much better job of it if it was His "Word".
Joel said, "our goal is to help anyone from any faith improve their life."
Really? Where is that found in the Bible? It's not. How utterely sickening and sad and misleading. This is not the gospel of Christ. Jesus said "unless you repent you will perish", so Joel is making this life a more comfortable place to go to hell from. Those who follow Joel or like him, please stop and expose this false teacher. Examine his words with scripture like the Bereans. We are told to do so in the scripture.
@joseph82069 What kind of negative Christianity are you trying to push on people? To seek to help others is Godlike. Stop worshipping the bible and become God-like!
@k0smon I only no of one kind of Christianity. I worship Jesus. His word is truth, it's living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, it's a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
The bible contains the words of God. It reveals the mind and will of God, it allows Christians to hold all those that say they preach the truth to it, so we can see if what they say is true or false. The bible has much to say about this. Do you care??
@k0smon There is but one doctrine that is without falsehood, that is without dispute and that is held by those who are not partakers of evil and that doctrine the scriptures speak to,” Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 2 John 1:9-10”
@joseph82069 Everyone claims to have the truth. You say it is in the word of God, but yet renown bible scholar Bart Ehrman says the bible is the word of man, not the word of God. Unless what the bible says is self-evident, I would have to question it.
The quotable false prophet and teacher Joel Osteen speaking, “As long as you can’t imagine it, as long as you can’t see it, then it is not going to happen for you. The man correctly realized that his own thoughts and attitudes were condemning him to mediocrity. He determined then and there to start believing better of himself, and believing better of God.” It’s the same way with us. We have to conceive it on the inside before we’re ever going to receive it on the outside.”
The quotable false prophet Joel Osteen, “If you don’t think you can have something good, then you never will. The barrier is in your mind. It’s not God’s lack of resources or your lack of talent that prevents you from prospering. Your own wrong thinking can keep you from God’s best. ”Joel Osteen is discussing vision and says to Joyce Meyer “If you don’t have it on the inside it wont’ come to pass on the outside” When you make those declarations of faith, you are charging the atmosphere. “
The quotable false prophet and false teacher Joel Osteen,” And your own words can help to bring it to pass. That is why we should get into the habit of every day consistently speaking God's favor over our lives” You can cancel out God's plan by speaking negative words. God works by laws” “Your circumstances will line up with your words.” “Words are like seeds, they have creative power.” “The more you talk about it the more you call it in.” “Your words will give life to what you are saying.”
The quotable false prophet Joel Osteen, “You can change your world by simply changing your words.” You can use your words to bless your life or curse your life” “Start calling in victory. Start calling in divine health. Start calling in abundance. You can prophesize your future.” “If you wanna know where you'll be five years from now listen to what you are saying.” “Our words will become a self-fulfilling prophecy.” “With our words we can predict our future. We can prophesize our future”
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof comes envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. But godliness with contentment is great gain.
@Qrazii For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
Joel,people need to know that they are dead in their trespasses & sin,that they are in bondage to sin,they are haters and enemies of God,they are spiritually dead lost sinners (Rom.3)They need to realize that they are destitute and hopeless and there is a Savior and His name is Jesus.This is what they should know.Preach the Gospel Joel..Preach the Gospel.That's what we are called to do!!
Joel,before you tell people how to be good fathers and mothers,how to live victorious lives,how to be a champion or a winner,how to win over their habits,how to think positively,how to be successful in their respective careers and professions,they first need to hear the whole truth of the Gospel.Without them hearing the gospel,you’ve done no good to them.They are still marching off a cliff towards hell.
@opoutry Joel says he aims his messages to those who are already Christians. How many times do they have to accept salvation before they get on with Christian living?
Joel Osteen Become A Better You INTERVIEW - keep pressing forward & find your destiny, find your path. God does put the desires and dreams in you. If you enjoy what you do, it is your destiny. "What's your passion?", God will open the doors.
@gahoughton Wow!Find YOUR destiny??Find YOUR path??God does put the desires and dreams in YOU??If YOU enjoy what YOU do, it is YOUR destiny??Is this the teaching of Joel Osteen??So much on SELF??Sounds unbiblical to me.
John 12:24-25: Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
@k0smon John 15:19-22: JESUS said that the world hates Him and those who follow Him who tells the world of their sin. Joel Osteen may have a great multitude of people who listen to him, but Joel does not tell the world of its sin. By the way, Joel is well liked, JESUS was not.
@Qrazii Joel aims his message at Christians, who have already taken care of the 'sin' problem. You want him to be an evangelist, but he has chosen to teach and preach Christian living. God is blessing his efforts. Are you saying the more people dislike you, the more righteous you are?
@k0smon A true prophet of God is one who is given the gift to preach repentance to humanity and to warn of God's wrath for disobedience. The message once received is a revelation and the delivery of the message is prophecy. A true prophet testifies of Jesus Christ as the Son of God, that He died for our sins, they preach of condemnation, judgment, sin, and of eternal torment that awaits the unbeliever.
@k0smon The New Thought metaphysical false teachings of Joel Osteen speak of Positive Thinking, Positive Confession, Positive Affirmations, Creative Visualization and Personal Power. These metaphysical laws that he promotes, ignores the atrributes of God, His Divine Charter and Nature. Joel has no desire to speak of the attributes of God such as His vengeance, wrath, judgment and anger because only true prophets announce sins before speaking of blessings as a condition of obedience.
@Rylucero ::: You do have quite a negative attitude towards God. You fail to recognize the true and loving nature of God because you have your head buried in Constantine's bible. Joel continues in God's favor and in the favor of those he spiritually serves, no matter how you interpret the bible or how many judgments you serve upon him.
@k0smon God’s very nature and essence is one of love. The love of God encompasses His innermost being and infuses all of His other attributes, including even His wrath and anger. Being this the very nature of God, He demonstrates His love, just as He demonstrates all of His attributes to His greater glory. Although God is a God of compassion and forgiveness whom we need, He is also one of righteousness and eternal judgment.
@k0smon While God is a God of Love and Truth, you chose to simply ignore His other attributes of Vengeance, Wrath, Judgment, and Anger. For someone not to acknowledge these attributes is to deny who God is, His Divine Character as well as His Nature. The truth of God is narrow, as is the number of those who truly accept His gift of salvation and are given eternal life.
@Rylucero I see the Creator as having only positive attributes. All negative attributes belong to the false gods such as Baal and Ashtaroth. It depends on your source of information as to what you believe about God. You accept the bible as the word of God, I do not. There are just too many problems with the bible for me to consider it to be 'God's Word".
@k0smon We are not called to follow false prophets who fulfill the selfish lusts and desires of the hearts of men, and who have chosen to become stubborn, sinfully proud, arrogant and self-indulgent. The bible states, Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and NARROW is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Matthew 7:13-14)
@Rylucero Man i agree with you.But I would advice you to stop talking with KOSMON becoz it's useless.You see, he doesn't believe that the Bible is the Word of God.There's no point of continuing to convince him.Only God can open his mind and heart to the truth.God bless.
@k0smon These wicked doctrines spoken by these men such as Success Thinking, the Power of Belief and Expectation, and the manifesting of the desires of your heart through the guise of Prosperity Consciousness mislead many with it’s deceit and treachery. The attributes of God such as His Vengeance, Wrath, Judgment and Anger cannot be found in the New Thought metaphysical false teaching of Joel Osteen who only chooses present a compromised gospel.
@k0smon Joel aims his message at Christians,who have already taken care of the sin problem.THAT'S THE PROBLEM THERE BECOZ NOT ONLY CHRISTIANS LISTEN TO HIM.EVEN UNCONVERTED PEOPLE LISTENS TO HIM AND THEY ALWAYS MISUNDERSTOOD HIS MESSAGE.UNCONVERTED PEOPLE THINK THAT IF THEY FOLLOW JESUS,THEY WILL LIVE A TROUBLE FREE LIFE OF HEALTH,WEALTH AND PROSPERITY.AND THAT'S NOT TRUE!
@k0smon Fake what? His very large congregation does not agree with you.AHA!HIS VERY LARGE CONGREGATION REALLY DOES MAKE SENSE TO ME.READ MATTHEW 7:13-15 AND YOU WILL BE SHOCK.
@k0smon "Go in through the narrow gate, because the gate to hell is WIDE and the road that leads to it is EASY, and there are MANY who travel it.But the gate to life is NARROW and the way that leads to it is HARD, and there are FEW people who find it.Be on your guard against false prophets; they come to you looking like sheep on the outside, but on the inside they are really like wild wolves.Matthew 7:13-15.NOW,JOEL'S FANS ARE YOU THE MANY?
@k0smon & echelon2486 we do not know Mr Osteen except by his words. Therefore his words must be compared to the same Bible and the same JESUS which and whom he preaches of.
@gray70 The Roman Catholic Church, the Greek Orthodox has a lot of revenue as well. It is what you do with that excess that matters most to God. Example, look at Amy Grant and all the charity and services she gives to each year. Look at the charity and services that Lakewood Church provides. Look at the size of the big churches. You have to be teaching the Word of God for someone to follow in that magnitude. One-RCC is a "religion". Lakewood-is preaching "faith".

You who seek fleshy wisdom for you are carnal, rebellious, disobedient and haughty. You who are helpless and lost regarding the things of God because you have placed your faith in the wisdom of men.

O spiritually dead ones, you do not walk in righteousness, but in contempt and disobedience. You wear no robe of humility but one of pride and arrogance. Your desire is to be submissive to these false teachers and prophets because of your foolishness and pride that has no place for grace because grace is given only to the humble and pure of heart. Fall before the alter of prosperity and materialism, for that is your true desire and reward.

O spiritually dead ones, scripture speaks to you who have chosen to fall before your gods of carnality and idolatry, to you who stand before your altar of deceit, to you who pay homage to these fools who teach these doctrines of devils, for to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Romans 8:6, But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition, Timothy 6:9

Osteen on O'Reilly was asked if he believed if Jesus was the way, the truth & the life, the only way to God. Osteen ignored the ?-? , saying he doesn't get into that. Indicative of his broad positive approach that attracts the masses. A pastor is called to feed the flock the whole counsel of God- from Genesis to Revelation. People interpret his soft-spoken manner as exhibiting a Christ-like spirit & ignore the non-Biblical content traded in for a motivational spiritual pep talk !

Where the heck is Jesus Christ in this? We can do nothing aside from Christ and all things through Him. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
Seeking fulfillment through self improvement without Christ is like a house trying to build itself without a carpenter.

This is so cringeworthy... Joel Osteen is an amazing guy... but his work is so unchristian... the Bible does not say that God will reward you if you give, the Bible says if you don't accept Christ as your saviour, you'll go to hell... Joel Osteen is what I used to think Christianity was... love, positivity, hope, happiness... Christianity was a tool used in the Middle Ages to keep the lower classes down - in fact it DISCOURAGES people from money, equality of the sexes, happiness in this life.

People would rather sit and rot in their lies, than have their sins exposed in the truth. Joel Osteen is a wolf. Yes, he has hope, but that hope is not in Christ. He relies on wealth for happiness and not Christ. It is sad.

This I say, therefore, and testify IN THE LORD, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the VANITY of their mind. Ephesians 4:17. The Holy Spirit is indwelling those who are IN Christ by the gift of faith which is not of ourselves, we are not to engage in mind games & other such foolishness, but to walk in the Spirit ¬ fulfill the lusts of the flesh. These false prophets are full of covetousness & greed, the devil, if you will, do not follow these blind leaders.

Really? Where is that found in the Bible? It's not. How utterely sickening and sad and misleading. This is not the gospel of Christ. Jesus said "unless you repent you will perish", so Joel is making this life a more comfortable place to go to hell from. Those who follow Joel or like him, please stop and expose this false teacher. Examine his words with scripture like the Bereans. We are told to do so in the scripture.

The bible contains the words of God. It reveals the mind and will of God, it allows Christians to hold all those that say they preach the truth to it, so we can see if what they say is true or false. The bible has much to say about this. Do you care??

@k0smon There is but one doctrine that is without falsehood, that is without dispute and that is held by those who are not partakers of evil and that doctrine the scriptures speak to,” Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God.

If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 2 John 1:9-10”

k0smon 1 year ago
@k0smon A true prophet of God is one who is given the gift to preach repentance to humanity and to warn of God's wrath for disobedience. The message once received is a revelation and the delivery of the message is prophecy. A true prophet testifies of Jesus Christ as the Son of God, that He died for our sins, they preach of condemnation, judgment, sin, and of eternal torment that awaits the unbeliever.
Rylucero 1 year ago
@k0smon The New Thought metaphysical false teachings of Joel Osteen speak of Positive Thinking, Positive Confession, Positive Affirmations, Creative Visualization and Personal Power. These metaphysical laws that he promotes, ignores the atrributes of God, His Divine Charter and Nature. Joel has no desire to speak of the attributes of God such as His vengeance, wrath, judgment and anger because only true prophets announce sins before speaking of blessings as a condition of obedience.
Rylucero 1 year ago
@Rylucero ::: You do have quite a negative attitude towards God. You fail to recognize the true and loving nature of God because you have your head buried in Constantine's bible. Joel continues in God's favor and in the favor of those he spiritually serves, no matter how you interpret the bible or how many judgments you serve upon him.
k0smon 1 year ago
@k0smon God’s very nature and essence is one of love. The love of God encompasses His innermost being and infuses all of His other attributes, including even His wrath and anger. Being this the very nature of God, He demonstrates His love, just as He demonstrates all of His attributes to His greater glory. Although God is a God of compassion and forgiveness whom we need, He is also one of righteousness and eternal judgment.
Rylucero 1 year ago
@k0smon While God is a God of Love and Truth, you chose to simply ignore His other attributes of Vengeance, Wrath, Judgment, and Anger. For someone not to acknowledge these attributes is to deny who God is, His Divine Character as well as His Nature. The truth of God is narrow, as is the number of those who truly accept His gift of salvation and are given eternal life.
Rylucero 1 year ago
@Rylucero I see the Creator as having only positive attributes. All negative attributes belong to the false gods such as Baal and Ashtaroth. It depends on your source of information as to what you believe about God. You accept the bible as the word of God, I do not. There are just too many problems with the bible for me to consider it to be 'God's Word".

You have to be teaching the Word of God for someone to follow in that magnitude. One-RCC is a "religion". Lakewood-is preaching "faith".
