Quote HistoryQuoted: God doesn’t exist, nor does “heaven” The devil might be real. Probably in your best interests to not be evil. When you die, that’s it. You’re gone. I have no problem with “religion” because in general it makes humans act better. But for those that are expecting heaven/hell- I think they’re going to end up disappointed. Especially people that believe in Joel Osteen or any priest/preacher. Same as a used car salesmen If you’re just gone when you die, how would you even be aware to be disappointed? |

I've asked this very same question in GD before within a thread and most likely received the same answers. I didn't take time to read this thread except for first few post at the beginning. I know GD is full of atheists, which I find very fucking weird. These same people will say the 2nd Amendment is their "God Given Right".
I've also takin' shit for referring some members to Joel Osteen that posted they were down on their luck. I listen to him now and again and ALWAYS receive a positive message. I would love to see him in person and I will pay for a ticket if he comes to my area. I really don't give a fuck how much money Joel Osteen makes, how big his house is, how big his yacht is, or how nice his private jet is... and GD posters are all so RICH and hate the POORS. Joel Osteen is either more Blessed than GD posters or is a whole lot fucking smarter. What I do care about is that he preaches the Gospel world-wide and that is a whole lot better that what others preach. Joel Osteen must reach 10's of thousands of viewers every week and travels the world to do it. He is positive, energetic, and prays to our Great Lord and Savior. It's a shit load better than some mother fucker preaching the teachings of the Muslim religion. I am a Christian, an American, and I am very proud to be both. Carry on Joel Osteen. Fuck those that criticize you (but you already know that). |

The prosperity gospel is not the Gospel. Some even call it heresy. He says he avoids preaching against Satan but the Bible sure doesn't and neither did Christ. Pastors are to preach the full gospel not cherry picked parts of it. I'm glad he does some good things but that isn't the requirement for getting into heaven. When the pastor is richer than the church he leads there is something out of focus. I don't know what's in his heart and not going to voice an opinion about that but it is perfectly Christian to recognize some things are not consistent.
Just a thought. On GD some complain about the cost of WLP's suits but don't bat an eye on JO's luxurious lifestyle and he runs a 501-C3. True, both pay for their suits but the optic is very unwise when the plate gets passed around. No, I don't hate him, just sure as all get out not going to follow him. I'll follow Christ. |

Quoted:. 4. During the floods they had that goofy notion that he's supposed to turn his church into a hotel. It holds 16,800 spectators. As if it's stocked with bedding, food, and toiletries for people to sleep there. They just have concrete floors and uncomfortable stadium seats. I believe they tried this with the New Orleans Superdome during Katrina with terrible results. Yeah I wouldn't want to do that to my church either. If he had opened his church up to people the media would be all over about how it isn't a shelter and the terrible conditions. He made the right choice. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Except we had many other churches and businesses that did open their doors for people and found ways to help and they weren't raked over the coals for not providing 5 star accommodations. One church I was in in MI had a hall set up with a large kitchen able to feed hundreds in a disaster. On a Sunday afternoon they fed as many as 300 needy people, mostly elderly. Another Church gave away free bread for needy families. Imagine a church doing what God wants them to do? |

Never read his book, never attended his events. I don't even know what he sounds like. Just tired of media BS and think he hasn't gotten a fair deal. When you charge to attend his preaching, you become a charlatan. Just one of a thousand red flags about him and his so called ministry. He’s a scam artist of the highest level. 2 Timothy 4:3 King James Version 3 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; |

So why care that they continue to listen to the motivational speaker of their choosing. Blame Joel if you want, but it's people making a bad choice that are at fault. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Is Jesus was here today, he would be a millionaire preacher. Right? And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. Luke 9:58 He was in the world, the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. John 1:10 Jesus was already here and dwelt amongst the millionaire preachers of his day. Pharisees and Sadducees were wealthy members of society. Jesus was no egotist, he took no praise for himself - Come to me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light Mt 11:28-30 |

It's built into our DNA that we want to believe in something. Christians will say that God inspires to believe in him (Luther's explanation of the 3rd article of the Creed). Some people go beyond that. Those that follow JO are IMO are just like conspiracy theorists. They find a little nugget of truth in the midst of a bunch of bullshit and that gives them hope, makes them feel like an insider/special, and gives them something to believe in.

Fuck those that criticize you (but you already know that). If that’s what you’ve gleamed from Osteen then the problem is on full display Jesus’ words “But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic either. Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back. And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them” He doesn’t preach the Gospel or gospels apparently (where the passage above comes from, in both Matthew and Luke). He preaches a feel good message and if that’s what you want then ok. But it’s a wealth health and prosperity message, nothing you’ll see in the New Testament. Every apostle was met with violent death or hardship for being a believer and preacher as were countless others after them. |
