Does Joel ever quote ANY scripture?! He talks a LOT about God, but hardly if ever uses the scriptures to substantiate his answers. It's clearly written in the word that the Jews would deny the Messiah:
(Isaiah 53:3) "He[the Messiah] was despised, and we held him as of no account."
Osteen doesn't have the backbone, or the faith, to quote that scripture to a Jew, Larry King.
Yet, MILLIONS tune in to this guy and follow his every word, when they guy doesn't know the scriptures.
JOEL, YOU HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO TELL THE PEOPLE THE TRUTH, EVEN IF IT HURTS THEM! Quit sugar-coating everything and tell them what God says, even if they get uncomfortable. The Bible says, "as many as I love, I rebuke and chasten". The Message of the Cross is naturally offensive to sinful man, but you have to love the people enough to step on their toes and make sure they get to Heaven. If you don't tell the people the truth, you don't love them.
@jerbaz17 Gospel is not truth. Its opinion. The bible says "if you rape a virgin, the man must marry her". (look it up!!) yeah.....the bible is a political tool. im not giving 10% of my money to the church either. Im spiritual, but not relgiious.
Joel Osteen is a FRAUD!!! As a pastor he is held accountable to speak God's word!! If he can't do that and share God's truth he needs to STOP claiming to be a pastor!!!
You people are funny to me.. ..trying to pick apart everything! Joel was right! He presents what he had learned but all you haters wanted to hear him say you are going to hell for not believing in christ! Now he's a false prophet? Smh...... Lord says to preach the word and shake the dust off your feet if people don't listen.
Judge a person's heart? It's already been judged by God. He said that It's deceitful and desperately wicked. Why couldn't this man truly represent Chist? He had a great opportunity to do so! Could it be...money? Just because someone has riches and appears to be blessed does not mean it came from God. There are many, many rich evil minded people.
@jreyesworcester Jesus said judge with righteous judgment. Everyone misquotes the verse that says don't judge and they forget to quote the ones that say to judge. We can't judge someone by thinking we are better, we can't be their judge in a judgment seat type manner, but we can and must judge their words with the bible.
That's how we can spot false teachers like Joel and others, because their message contradicts scripture.
evasive? all he said was that God is the ultimate judge of who goes to heaven and who goes to hell. i think that's a legitimate response to a question about HIS BELIEFS. he doesn't know for sure.he also just so happens to be human enough to think, "if someone's never exposed to Christianity, is God really going to condemn them to hell even though they were never given a chance?" Joel is a good guy and he responded like any normal human being with care towards others would
@azurenscens Joel was evasive and cowardly. Those who have never repented and trusted in Christ will go to hell. Through Christ is the only way. Joel should have made that crystal clear.
@joeforHistruth so the children in Africa, who suffer on a level that you nor i can even imagine, will go to hell because they were never exposed to christianity? there aren't enough of your missionaries to tell everyone on earth of the supposed ''wrath'' of your god. and why would God condemn to hell those people who actually know and experience serious misery in their lifetime. while you eat your next big meal in an air conditioned room as you sit on a comfortable chair, think about that one.
@azurenscens First your putting your version of fairness on God who is just and perfect.
Every person is born a sinner, we are Gods enemies at birth. We deserve hell. The fact that God saves even one of us is amazing. He could wipe out the whole planet and send us all to hell roght now and be just in doing it. There is one way, one hope for all people, only through God incarnate, Jesus Christ.
You a sinner, are judging God. You are man He is God. His way is just, not yours.
@azurenscens I did not get to choose where I was born, nor my conditions. Maybe you should leave your comfy home and go to Africa and help them. Just a thought.
@joeforHistruth i like how you totally avoided my question. it's like you actually believe people who aren't aware of christianity will go to hell, but you feel bad admitting that that's what you feel to be true. your delusions are sickening...i can only hope that your children don't succumb to the absurdity of christianity like you have.
@azurenscens First children do not go to hell, they have to have some understanding, I don't know at which age. It's different for each person, since we all mature at different rates. With that said we all are Law breakers, we all sinn because we are sinners, from birth, we all need Jesus and his salvation.
Jesus said I am the way, the truth, the life, no one comes to the Father, but through Me. John 14:7
There is no hope for anyone outside of the salvation Christ offers.
What happens when you die? Have you told lies, stolen, used God's name in vain? If yes, then you're a liar, thief, and a blasphemer in the sight of God. When you die & be judged by God, you'll be guilty of sin, & go to Hell! But God sent His Son Jesus(God in flesh) to shed His blood & die on a cross for your sins, He was buried & rose again from the dead on the third day. If you'll believe the Gospel(Jesus's death for your sins, His burial & resurrection)you'll not perish & have eternal life!
Joel Osteen is a heretic He states "I believe MY WAY to going to heaven," but his way is not right. No man has their own way to get to heaven. The bible says in John 14:6 6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life.NO ONE comes to the Father EXCEPT THROUGH ME. ” And YES, it is your business to share the gospel and point out things that will lead you to HELL. For Example if you do not repent of your sins and follow CHRIST, You will spend eternity in the lake of fire.
He sounds like a polatition side steps answers without answering them . black is black white is white. truth is truth and let all else be a lie. i am ashamed of Joel for not standing up for Jesus. and the word of God which is Jesus Lord help Joel.
i agree with osteen, i dunno why benny hinn and others got so worked up around this. yes Jesus IS the only way to heaven, but as osteen said, it is NONE of your business to judge whether someone's been saved or not, because you can't look into their heart.
Jesus help us in these sick times where people who speak in Your name bicker against each other
@jaywbe Joel is right in saying that he can't judge anybody, but here he is with a golden opportunity to preach the gospel and he just says "I'm not a judge". Preaching the gospel is not judging anyone, it is simply presenting the truth. So what if people get offended? Blessed you are when you are hated for his names sake.
@DMeloMan Gospel is not truth. Its opinion. The bible says "if you rape a virgin, the man must marry her". (look it up!!) yeah.....the bible is a political tool. im not giving 10% of my money to the church either. Im spiritual, but not relgiious.
1:09 Larry: So you make no judgment on anyone? Joel: No but I preach... Larry: What about Atheists? Joel: No... I just... you know what? I let, I let somebod uh ah Larry: I let somebody what? Tell & warn others Jesus is the only way? Atheists do not believe much less believe from the heart. Though God's final judge Paul said in Romans 10:9 "That if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord & believe in your heart God raised Him from the dead you will be saved. Joel? Stop him! Come back!
Osteen is a pathological liar and a half. He preaches lies, lies, and more lies and claims to be a Christian preacher!!!?? He's absolutely no such thing. He's a spoiled, lazy liar who had no career ambitions and spontaneously took over his dad's "church." His dad was false also, not to this extent, but false.
Osteen is shifty and deceptive, and when complaining over the phone once, one of his employees began harassing and threatening me until I threatened to call the Houston Police Department.
"Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual but as worldly—mere infants in
Christ. I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere men?" 1 Corinthian 3:1-3
Joel Osteen is a novice,an immature believer who is on top of the padestal.He is not a false prophet but just someone who shouldn't be a teacher,for he utters nonsense always.
Also, people are not called to "put someone in hell" but we are called to make judgments. You guys often misquote the "do not judge" passage. It says, "Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brothers eye." He was saying don't judge until you get your own house in order. We should definitely be sharing the Gospel at every opportunity and for Osteen to take a "pass" here is simply very very disappointing.
You guys and Joel Osteen are killing me with your replies here. He had opportunity to tell the world what saves and he bypassed it! Jesus was clear & said, "If you do not believe that I am He you will die in your sins." The Jew,Buddhist,Muslim,Hindu, atheist,agnostic or anyone else who rejects or feels he does not need Christ will die in his sins. This is clear. Christianity is exclusive & it is offensive to those who are perishing. He blew it! Selling books are more important I guess!
Joel is right. Jesus said "judge not lest ye be judged." He said "I come not to condemn the world, but to save it." If Jesus was against condemnation, how can we, as believers, be for it. God is Love, not some big mean tyrant like religion would have it seem. But only God has the power to judge and to forgive. We're all sinners, so for me to express condemnation to another person would make me a hypocrite. How can I be the light of the world if all I preach is darkness and damnation?
THE KEY WORD is THINK... we do not have the authority to condemn. We give the word & the word does the work. Each 1 is accountable @ judgement day. Saved by grace, but we must strive for perfection & obey God's commandments. Repentance is a continueing act. The race is given to those who endure to the end. Recieve the baptism of water & holy spirit or we can no wise enter the kingdom of god. Let us uplift one another & pray for our leaders. b4 we cast out the mote, let's remove the beam in ours
