[Thanatos1919]

Andy Stanley is the furthest thing from Joel Osteen...he preaches the Gospel and Osteen preaches the prosperity Gospel. Their messages are distinctly different...Osteen focuses on self Stanley focuses on God as the core of oneself...big difference...

as far as sounding the same...nah not that close

[studmuffin1979]

@MrVandervlis Suffering is often a part of God's plan. Jesus prayed and petitioned for God to take away the suffering of the cross...yet God denied that request of his only begotten. An individuals comfort is the last thing on God's mind and it's clear that He's got far more important things to deal with. Everybody is religious. The one who beliveves he or she is not religious unknowingly worship themselves.

I wish Andy Stanley would be as direct as John MacArthur on false teachers like Joel Osteen and Rob Bell. For those who indicated positive view of Osteen, would invite you to consider MacArthur's reasoning and Scriptural support of his view. Can't seem to post link here, but search YouTube for clip entitled "John MacArthur Rebukes Joel Osteen"

@FAITHandLOGIC Andy is far from the only preacher that tends to stay away from covering the book of Revelation in-depth. Too many churches don't want to tackle it and it is a shame for those that don't. You are right about it being the climax. It is worthy of focus and study. Andy has spoken about Christ's return, but not in a lot of depth.

@FAITHandLOGIC Read recent posts by Leile223 & rketcherside24 and wanted to comment. I followed Andy since the beginning of North Point and just recently joined a different church. I have 1 or 2 things I am critical of Andy, but I don't think you know his heart or his theological views well enough to substantiate your comments. Osteen is a false teacher. Andy isn't. Preferring to err on side of grace, Andy isn't willing to point out false teachers like Osteen or Bell and I think he should.

@FAITHandLOGIC I think you hear more of what you want to hear than you think.

@Leile223 Andy and Joel are cut from the same cloth.  It's called a bank note. Cha-ching!

[FAITHandLOGIC]

@rketcherside24 That's because you hear what you want to. He never gives God the credit. It's always "We" or "North Point" or something to that effect.

This is all about his church, not about God's church. There is a big difference. Ever hear Andy preach about the second coming of the Messiah? Well, that's the climax of being a Christian. Christ returns and brings His reward with Him. Andy is just a "PC Preacher" for a corporation, not a church.

[FAITHandLOGIC]

Andy Stanley is nothing more than the son who went into the family business and modernized it. Great businessman, bad theology.

Church? No. Business? Yes.

@jacksballin13

Do you understand apostasy? You cannot [fall away] from something you never possessed. Walking in the Spirit gives assurance of salvation as His Spirit witnesses with our spirit that we are children of God. It is an individual matter that exists between a believer and the LORD. It is the Holy Spirits function to confirm that you are a child of God not a man and his doctrine.

@MrVandervlis There was a reason you were watching this sermon. No one forced you to do so; therefore maybe God is dealing with you. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come sort of the glory of God: Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead thou shalt be saved.(KJV) praying for you
