Pastor Joel Osteen on The View 11/04/2009 Part 2 HD

[13lovesto]

Pastor Osteen is very humble person, I read all his book and inspired my life. He Give me hope and joy. God be with you always.

[MrEnlighteneddespot]

@13lovesto I do question some of his theology. Why does he see Mormons as true Christians?

[3BALL4]

@MrEnlighteneddespot he is a false prophet. But the part about homosexuality is true. It is a sin. But he still made it look not that bad.

[adracadabra33]

Joel Osteen made me find God and love him. Now Jesus lives inside me. Thanks to Lakewood Church

[museblock]

Joel Osteen teaches people to live for this world... Jesus taught that people should live for the kingdom of God. If the best way to reach people with God's message was with financial "blessings" then Jesus would have been born into a wealthy family or he would have sought money as a means to his end. Money isn't evil but as Jesus said it's easier for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter God's kingdom.

[BarbieBoy1997]

Barbara...why do you want people to FEEL bad? You can be in the slums and still be positive. Life sucks, get over it. Being a negative nancy is not going to make things better.

[KEIYON26]

Great person thats all i have to say...

[127quinn]

joel olsteen is full of shit....

[jlltruthseeker]

Joel Olsteen is a modern day Snake Oil salesman, pedalling faith to idiots! He is a wolf in sheeps clothing and the weak minded are on the menu!

[nikobellicisgangsta]

nice

[adracadabra33]

If I win Green Card lottery I will go to Houston to live only for Lakewood Church. I love Joel Osteen such a pure spirit.

[museblock]

@adracadabra33 Living only for Lakewood Church is living only for yourself... which is the message Joel Osteen spews and is not in accordance with Christ's message. Do you want to live for God or a self-help church?

[adracadabra33]

@museblock i think there is misunderstanding, what i wanted to say is i will choose to live there because i would be attending to lakewood services, which will be very helpful for living a good life.

[adracadabra33]

@museblock of course living for God and attending to Lakewood to hear the good news.

[adracadabra33]

@museblock Joel Osteen is such a pure spirit. I love him.

[shyman25]

If you cant say what Jesus said because you dont want to Offend SINNERS .then you need to step down as a pastor. The TRUTH OF GOD;S WORD WAS NOT SINNER FRIENDLY. This is why I feel you have to be CALLED by God to preach and not just "DECIDE" hey maybe I'll preach b/c this is what we end up with, pastors with no backbone. The apostles were TORTURED for the gospel CUZ IT WASNT A POPULAR MESSAGE. It cost them their lives.Sumthin is VERY WRONG when u hear a "pastor"

& not have the FEARof God in U.

[MrJesuslover79]

He candy coats sin,Why just say its sin and tell them to repent like any other preacher.This is not the way to give truth.He has to be bold and preach the word of God correct im love,Not saying it Not gods best.This is so redicoulous.He doesnt want the persecution,Jesus said all who live a godly life will be persecuted.

[Hunzful]

Is there a part 4? God is Moving through dis interview! Love it hehe. God is awesome!

[kaityA]

Joel is just positive. That doesn't mean he's wrong. That means that God has given him a postive attitude that's to influence people's lifes. You can't judge him and say he's wrong. Everything I've heard him say has come from the Bible.

[MrSoulful69]

when he talks its like a breath of fresh air..

[265anne]

@k0smon..Homosexuality among animals is debatable, homosexuality as sin is not. Are you a believer in Christ Jesus? Do you hold the Bible as a final authority? If not, don't waste your time responding to me. I believe in God and Jesus as my Savior. I don't listen to Paul Washer or John MacArthur, but I do believe the Bible is the final authority.

[a2r1v1i2s]

ha, olsteen is such a bitch.

[k0smon]

@a2r1v1i2s ::: He doesn't bitch about anything, he keeps a happy and positive attitude. What is YOUR problem?

[twoqute2bstr8]

Truth Teller, you omitted CHRISTIANITY as a commonality in your list. More murder and torture has been committed in the name of Christianity than anyone else in your list. Please, stop trying to "isolate your situation" and check a history book.

[TruthTeller201]

WHAT DO GAYS, LIARS, ADULTERERS, MURDERERS, THIEVES, ALL HAVE IN COMMON ????

THE HOLY BIBLE SAYS IT IS ALL SIN !!!!

HOMOSEXUALS NEED TO STOP TRYING TO ISOLATE THEIR SITUATION AND MAKE IT INTO THE ONLY SIN THAT'S ACCEPTABLE.... IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE !!!

GOD HATES ALL SIN... BUT HE STILL LOVES THE SINNER, AND WANTS HIM / HER TO REPENT !!!!

HOMOSEXUALS STILL HAVE TO REPENT LIKE EVERY OTHER SINNER...

HELL DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE... ALL SINNERS WILL GO THERE IF THEY DO NOT REPENT

[MundyArtStudio]

@TruthTeller201 eating shellfish is also a sin, so is working on sunday, so is divorce, so is all forms of birth control, so is suicide, so is gluttony and pretty much every other thing you could possibly think of.

God doesn't even exist and neither does hell so who fucking cares if it's a sin or not.

[TruthTeller201]

@MundyArtStudio - REMEMBER THOSE WORDS.... EVERYTIME U TAKE A BREATH THAT THE LORD GRACIOUSLY GIVES YOU... REMEMBER THOSE WORDS, EVERYTIME YOU MAKE IT THROUGH ANOTHER DAY THAT GOD GRACIOUSLY GIVES YOU.... BECAUSE IT WILL BE A SAD DAY IF YOU WOKE UP ONE DAY AND THE ONLY THING U HAVE, IS WHAT YOU THANKED GOD FOR YESTERDAY !!!

[265anne]

What a shame when a preacher has a chance to stand on God's Word, but once again, tip toes through the tulips. Homosexuality is not God's best!? No, it is sin! This is a dangerous sin, because they do not carry the image of God. This sin has become a lifestyle and a direct attack against God, stating they were born this way. Joel is forever on TV talking about the love of God, but he can't seem to take a stand against anything!!!

[k0smon]

@265anne ::: What a shame you have so little understanding. Homosexuality occurs in the animal world, not only in humans. Did the animals sin against God? Exactly what is 'the image of God'? Nobody directly attacks God, instead they are militantly apathetic. Joel does not preach against anything, he teaches how to live. You want Paul Washer or John MacArthur if you want to hear a preacher preach against something.

[united57]

i disagree if the church does not accept homosexuals that want the help want too understand why they feel god created them this way who will do it if somebody needs help with bills food losing their hous the first thing they turn too is the church. now a church with a memebership like lakewood im sure with the money flowing in that church im sure they are helping people out anything they need.

[PrettyTiaF]

dont even try whoopi....

[MundyArtStudio]

40 thousand people coming to his church every week????

THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY BEING DONATED TO THIS SCAM!!!

I wonder what method they use to keep them coming back, oh yeah the bible!

The bible and organized religion is a modern day form of mind control with bullshit and hypocrisy running rampant.

Everything they do is methodically planned to get money.

He even accepts gays into his church, yeah as long as there willing to donate.

This guy is so full of himself its beyond sickening.

[k0smon]

@MundyArtStudio ::: What scam? The only bullshit and hypocrisy here is coming from you. Money is not primary with him as it is with some preachers. Where better a place for gays than in church? If he makes you sick, then keep yourself busy vomiting.

[MundyArtStudio]

@k0smon If religion and church's weren't busines's then they would all be free and would not require payments/donations of any kind, but they all do and none of these "religions" are required to pay and form of tax whatsoever.

ITS A FUCKING SCAM - and if you defend it then your stupid. bye

[k0smon]

@MundyArtStudio :: Profanity shows your immaturity. So does name-calling. And your English is not so hot either, ('Your' when you meant 'you're')

[MrTmj1991]

The View asks hard hitting questions to Joel Osteen, but drools over the President of the United States.

[deciuswtasby]

Joel speaks on accepting gays because it's not the person but the act that is sinful. God states, "just as the heavens are higher than the earth so is my thinking greater than yours." He eludes to that because people like to place sin in weighed categories. God is not happy with adultery, liars, or cheaters either. To God sin is sin. Mo matter what he said he would be in the wrong because he's on a show like the view.

[Nikimar23]

He isn't a hateful person. He has a belief system and he tells them right out. He loves all people he just feels it is sinful according to scripture. That is his belief. You bet your bottom dollar if a Muslim or Jewish person was on the show, they would not be grilling them on their religion like this. Why is that, you have to ask yourself why??? I don't agree with people who commit adultry they might think it's OK. Just because the media says it's right, doesn't make it right.

[Nikimar23]

Joel can't fly a private Jet but Joy Behar can, Whoopie Can, Barbara Walters can. So anyone preaching the word of God can't. Joy Behar isn't a gold digger?? give me a break and here she is attacking Joel because he tells people that God wants them to prosper. Has she read the Bible lately? She said she was raised Catholic. There were many Jews (Gods Chosen People) who prospered due to Gods Blessing them. Duh, she obvioulsy wasn't paying attention in class. These women are all hipocrites.

[Janthonycox]

This guy is so freaking incredible. He's like a superhero.

[sherkhan17]

Joel IS RIGHT...and these women are going to stand before Jesus too.....lying to gays about their lifestyle is not doing them any favors.........

[SignOfTheDollar100]

God Bless Joel and God Bless America.

[danlaman]

I cant stand Elizebeth Hasselback

[elsoda]

yeah....the motherfucker flies in a private jet.....fucking false....

[TheCdog24]

I used to be against some of the things he said because I thought he was a health wealth and prosperity teacher but now I must say that the message he brings is from God. Thank you Joel.

[BlyueMOON]

Osteen is such a blessing, I can't help thinking to myself though after watching this interview, "Man this guy is pitch PERFECT in his publicity and media training." Every little dig they try to through at him he hits it dead on.

[hisalone1212]

disappointed that joel is on this godless show

[mossimus82]

I feel sorry for the people that attend this dude's church. He's a wolf in sheep skin and preaching an anti-gospel message that God will prosper your life if you think a certain way. Seems like he has the underpinnings of secular humanism which says that man is capable of redeeming himself.

[swooningtree]

the comments here are mostly disappointing.

[BlyueMOON]

@swooningtree Very VERY disappointing. I find it interesting that instead of testing these preachers words out (since they're preaching THE GOSPOL truth and inviting God in their lives) people instead want to make fun, or rip Joel apart, or accuse him of being whatever. Where in a time were people are trying to tear Christians down. God is the only way and his son Jesus is the Messiah. People, be nice!

[jebeja]

@BlyueMOON, "or rip Joel apart", why does telling the truth via God's Holy and precious Word have to be ripping him apart? The Gospel is being watered down and souls are dying without knowing the truth about what the Saviour did and expects from them, while the Bible gives us the authority to 'judge the word' that's being distributed to the church, whether it be of God or satan. The Bible says that "hell is enlarging itself" (Isaiah 5:14) so how about the unadulterated Word being preached then?

[TheIrondog433]

Joel...you are in a den of viper bitches.

[TheSconas]

@XxDWillxX, ignorance is a condition worthy of being labeled a demon. you're a case study and obviously need an educational exorcism to relieve u of ur demonic ignorance. <3 :)

[XxDWillxX]

@TheSconas believe what u want. I'm just puttin the truth out there. you got the freedom to agree/disagree. obviously you don't, but alright! God bless.

[XxDWillxX]

homosexuality is a demonic spirit. You have to want to be delivered from it. Spirits transfer from person2person. Either you were in a situation where that spirit attacked u or u allowed it to transfer to u (unknowingly most likely). so No1 is ever born gay n it's not necessarily by choice. Christains accept gays, murderers, liers, stealers. NOT their lifestyle. Theyre still ppl so we can't judge them, but if theyre willing to be delivered, they can.

[XxDWillxX]

he made a good point. why would God create you as a homosexual when he tells us NOT to live a life as one? The bible says homosexuals( "effeminate men" 1Cor.6:9,10) won't inherit the kingdom of God (heaven). Read the story of Soddom n Gamorrah(i think i spelled it right) too..God doesn't agree with homosexuality. Christianity teaches against homosexuality. If it's AGAINST God, it's FOR the devil. God created us as heterosexual beings. So if you live a life opposite of that,what does that say?

[vipelle]

Joel is a Legacy from his father. Joel has accomplished in 5 years what his father did in 30 years. Joel loved his Father (John) dearly. Joel did NOT want his father job and responsibilities!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!! Joel jus liked his placed being behind th scenes , doing production. The day his his father died ....He took his his place not knowing h was the man who could "Remove the sword from th stone" ....the rest is history.....I love joel. HUMBLE. The most Meek guy you could ever meet.

[Warrrrrior]

@vipelle Yeah but he doesnt preach the Gospel. He's probably a great guy. That doesnt take away from the fact that he's a false prophet.

[Warrrrrior]

I choose to live a celibate life. Because my only hope is in Christ. Is this extremely lonely at times? absolutely. Do I long for companionship? of Course. Do I wonder and question God why I have this lot in life? without a doubt. Is God sufficient? Of course. I will continue to pursuit God in prayer and he will continue to show me he is a loving Father and I am a son of God.

And Christ did preach against materialism.

"what good is it if I gain the whole world and lose my soul"

[Warrrrrior]

Im a gay Christian. I struggle with same sex attraction everyday of my life, but will stand on the truth of God. There have been many circumstances in my life that have caused me to turn out this way: my relationship with my dad, early exposure to porn etc. This is specific to me and not everyone has had these same issues. But it comes down to what do you trust. Is Gods grace not Sufficient? Yes and I will continue to pray that he change my desires, but if he doesn't. His Grace will sustain me.

[Warrrrrior]

When whoopi says how do you feel about people who are gay or "different" what the hell is she talking about. "different" thats pretty insensitive for a gay rights activist and what the hell is she talking about free will for? If free will is true then Yes but she will say that its an orientation not a choice.. None of these woman know what they are talking about and neither does Joel He cant give a straight answer because People blindly listen to his messages. Yes He promotes materialism.

[MichaelinDenmark]

Isn't he Clay Aiken's father !!!!!! LMFAO

[SONSofVENDETTA]

I wish I had been on the view Im not afraid to call sin SIN!!!!!!

[ann9999]

The only reason I watched the view is because Joel Osteen was on it that day. Did anyone see it?  I cannot believe how rude those women are. The truth is The Bible is the Word of God. God does not need the world’s (or the women on the view’s) help. The truth is the world needs God’s help.

[GCNANNERFACE]

Even Jesus recognized the enemy amongst him before Crucifixion and didn't say so , but recognized he was there,,, and let him so his thing.....

[EcksFacktur]

Jesus asked that we walk away from sins as a christian and do away with childish things, this means the time for teemage mix up in spiritual confusion, there is no DNA strand called call Gay strand, it is sin turn from your sins and repent, i love my fiend, he is gay, but telling him the truth is better, easy way to hell is gradual and heaven is without sin.......get it right pastor, i will not be attented this sunday.....

[falconpierce]

@EcksFacktur something like homosexuality is hard to turn from it is not as simple as repenting and your done, i know several ppl struggling with this issue and what ive found is that homosexuality persists mainly from behavioral and social problems.

Dont bother trolling me

[flyingcharm]

his father was a preacher, he didn't come out of the blue....do your research atlasshrugged2u

[bamascot1]

@flyingcharm his dad was a very good preached.

[mrsbstjod]

I'm sure he would preach even if he didn't have jets and a nice house

[atlasshrugged2u]

This dude used to be a "motivational speaker" and a great one as well; then he got smart and added a few Jesus's to his message and carried a bible, and before you know it BAM! tax deductible buisness. Of course benefits come with that like CBN anting a peice of what he was bringing in in order to get him on an even bigger platform and there you have it folks...only in America. The guy is filfthy rich with private jets, living in a gated community going around the world to talk

[baljerry07]

Elizabeth is happy cuz they rarely have radical conservatives on her show to ass kiss.

[27ade]

This guy is a sugar daddy preacher,he is a humble deceiver.Christ never came here to sugar coat the truth.He seems like a nice dude but not the right mindset to be a preacher,maybe he could be motivational speaker at conferences.

[EcksFacktur]

@27ade you would avoid that question to if you had 40000 members to lose better not tell the truth on tv or is the whole budist feel great morning on power of positive thinking bs, just say it Love the Person hate the fact they preform sinful devent soal rubbing acts......nite

[godflowdorian]

what da hell whoopi talkin bout ? god dont have a best ?

[CymHastings]

@Leile223 cum turns into worms? and when did u graduate from kindergarden?

[NatiaPeepsqueak]

Joel can't please the world and I would not be as nice as Joel. I can tell you that for damn sure!! These woman have him on as a guest to rag on him???. I am ashamed of the white woman. And I am white!!

[NatiaPeepsqueak]

I think the redhead bitch is way out of line. Is it the medication? Do you SMILE all the time? What dumb rude comments. Do you accept Gays? If he accepts gay he is wrong if he don't he is wrong!!! Everyone breathing needs hope and to have material things. Should he say wake up with a LOSEY ATTITUDE???

[maria39208]

Being gay is a CHOICE..

[godflowdorian]

gay people are possessed with demons.

[CymHastings]

@godflowdorian bigots are too.

[GunStreets]

@maria39208

nahhh

[julesjohnson21]

I LOVE Joel! He encourages me so much! If more of us could be as positive as him, the world would be so different.

[kingtut314]

Hey Snoozy81..Not trying to sound rude here. But what does it matter that he doesn't have a cross in his church.

[snoozy81]

I think that someone who preaches about God's love should charge more than cost to have a tape of the sermon and why doesn't he have a cross in his church? If God is in control, then why not have a cross in his church.

[dawtpengceu1]

I love Joel Osteen, God Bless U...Joel..

U the best man in the world..

don't care anybody who tries to put u down..

[kingskid96]

Joel is cool, but too soft as a Christian man. He's a mamby-pamby don't want to offend anyone keep it safe type beliver. WHATEVER...THAT'S WHACK.... Jesus didn't mince words or walk around being weak.

[ts12511]

That's Right! although had he told it like it is whoopie and joy would have tore him apart... but still Christians should tell it like it is.

[Yunginspirit]

Joel Osteen is a wonderful Christlike man. He's amazing.

[VsAStar]

he is crazy

[MrPetty773]

@VsAStar Yes he is.

[goodfind2]

Pastor Joel, You are right ...this too shall pass. Thank you Lord, that YOU are in control.
