Dear Sir, you surely do care, that is plain to see. You are more gracious than I !This man, who claims to be a PASTOR, does not preach sin, rebuke, correct, warn; all part of the job! And who is it that he is telling, "God will make this year victorious for you", but the unsaved. Joel himself does not understand the gospel. The majority of his flock are not saved, or they would not stand for this heresy.

@88momart DOn;t get me wrong, I do consider him a heretic and a false teacher. I just don't see him as a (knowing) con-man. He might even be turning to the truth a bit. When Piers Morgan pressed him about homsexuality, he didn't waffle (as is his usual) he kept referring to the authority of scripture! I called his 'church' and told them to just how I felt about him and encouraged him to keep heading toward God's word...they thanked me and were genuinely pleased!

Prophets have been called by God to speak for Him and to be His messenger. God speaks to these men who are commanded to reveal to mankind His plan of salvation, His will, His character, and His truth. A prophet testifies of Jesus Christ as the Son of God, that He died for our sins, they preach of repentance, condemnation, judgment, sin, and eternal torment. These are the things that prophets of God do, but that Joel Osteen as a false prophet does not.

[pennylaneproductions]

The spiritual man judges all things...Joel Osteen judges nothing.

[Bluesnaggs]

Pennylaneproductions, I agree with what you said. However, you weren't strong ENOUGH with Joel Osteen. Joel Osteen MUST be called out as a heretic who has abandoned the Gospel unlike his father John Osteen. Joel is in the seeker tradition as Rick Warren.

[pennylaneproductions]

You are correct. I sent my article, "The Toothless Gospel' to his church. I am working on the video. He IS a heretic indeed.

Joel tickles goats ears, instead of feeding sheep.

@sobakatom Joel Osteen's message is false. It is not true Biblical doctrine, He is a false teacher that just speaks to what people want to thear, so he can make lot's of money!!!! Millions of people are being misled by him. They are not being save by Osteen's words.

@beauty4ash I thought Pastor's are supposed to teach sound Biblical Theology and not be motivational speakers. I think God calls men to preach the Gospel correctly and truthfully.

[Maradeur1258]

@pennylaneproductions I agree he is a false teacher. Osteen never teaches about sin, the need to repent of our sins and God's judgement of hell. If there is no hell and no judgement, then what did Jesus come to save us from? All Osteen teaches is how God will bless you in this life and make your life wondedrful.

@fanoflittleman I agree with you it is all about the money, the rich lifestyle. It is about the Prosperity Gospel so that you live an extravagent life on earth here. Complete false teaching. Benny Hinn is the same way another false teacher, only concerend with conning people with false hope that Benny Hinn can cure the people of their diseases. It is a disgrace what these false teachers are doing to damage the reputation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

[Maradeur1258]

@Rylucero I agree with you it is as if Osteen doesn't want to offend people of other religions. However Jesus is the only one who can forgive our sins and by his grace gives us unmerited eternal life. Jesus says that people will hate you because of me. Christianity is offensive. Everybody thinks that they are a good person, that is wrong, we are all sinners and need God's forgiveness through Jesus Christ to save us. Go through the Ten Commandments and see if you have kept them, nobody has.

[Maradeur1258]

@stevecast65 I agree with you Joel Osteen ia a heretic. He is not teaching Biblical Truth, just like Benny Hinn they are both false teachers. I do not believe they are truly saved because they do not teach Biblical truth, only what people want to hear. I think false teachers like Osteen and Benny Hinn, and other false teachers just false teachings, like the Porsperity Gospel and other false teachings.

You had a good point.
