The problem with … The problem with his style of preaching is: he uses too little verses to support his topic (i.e. topical preaching) instead of expository preaching where you go through the bible and explain it and what it is telling us about Jesus. His preaching is very secular with a little taste of God and does not produce mature Christians who have a deep understanding of God.
The battle is the … The battle is the Lords, however we are called to do our part in warfare by obeying and fulfilling our duties to God. This allows God to directly act on our behalf. Spiritual warfare requires constant obedience and fellowship with God in such a way that it enables God to effectively deal with the evil working not only against us but as well as against other people. This is required when confronting False Teachers such as Joel Osteen whose teaching leads to the destruction of souls.
You speak of love? … You speak of love? Is not warning our brethren regarding these vile wicked false prophets who teach and seduce many with a vast array of heresies a great love? Is not a warning to those who give glory to men, those who trust in men, those who defend their false doctrines, and those who look for salvation through men as opposed to obtaining salvation through Christ the greatest love outside of the love that God has for us, His mercy and the sacrifice on our behalf of his Son Jesus at the cross?
Love covers a … Love covers a multitude of sins…love is recorded over 310+ times in the Bible. You know the BIG LLLLLL WORD…LOVE. For God so loved the world….not Hell’d the world.
I am not a Bible … I am not a Bible scholar, but I watched Joel yesterday on tv. He gave 2 or 3 scriptures, and the rest of the whole message was scripture breathed. Atleast 20-25 total that he didnt give scriptures for, but I know their in the Bible. If you know the bible well, then you know whats pouring out of him.
Kindness from my … Kindness from my perspective consists of compassion,and forgiveness towards others. Being Kind however does not rule out the ability to rebuke others.God rebukes those whom He loves. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to rebuke the world concerning its sin, concerning righteousness, and also judgment It is very clear that rebuking in itself is necessary. So not only does God rebuke, but Christians are called to rebuke those who mislead others which is not only an act of responsilbility but love.
This is not a … This is not a charge of condemnation but one of rebuke and truth. It is our responsibility to stand up against false prophets such as Joel Osteen and to challenge them in regard to their erroneous teaching. To defend a heretic, would be to lend credibility to his heresies, and we would be held accountable to God for the souls that are destroyed as a result. Your charge of condemnation is baseless since Joel Osteen stands convicted of heresy by Gods standard and Word, not mine.
Sorry, you are … Sorry, you are wrong…Check out Don Piper, Mary K. Baxter, Sid Roth tells of tons more. It is according to your faith be it unto you Matthew 9:29. It is impossible to please God with out faith. Hebrews 11:6. If you want an experience from God of your own, ask God and you shall receive Matthew 7:7-8. Read the Bible in its entirety and then form your opinion. Not based on what I say or any others. In my opinion, the Bible is our owners manuel.
this guy may have … this guy may have touched a lot of people but how many people have been saved by his preaching.Besides he twist up the Word of God and none of u knotheads realize that
Joel Osteen is a … Joel Osteen is a good man. He is not God, he is not a prophet, he is a good man who brings great ideas so we may improve our life and do better in this life and after. Even as a Muslim, I love this man and I have learned so much from him.
I would say that if … I would say that if we are called to speak truths concerning deception in the church house and sit idly by that would be a great evil. The scriptures say that we are to Test the Spirit” to see if it is from God. The bible is very specific when it comes to someone presenting a message or doctrine to us that they claim to be the Word of God. I believe that Joel Osteen falls short of the standard set by God, is a false teacher and it is my duty to expose him as such as a believer in Jesus Christ!
Very aptly put, … Very aptly put, unfortunately in this world were sin, condemnation, and judgment are rarely discussed by False Teachers, False Apostles and False Prophets, I feel that I would be judged harshly by God if I did not speak up and expose these False Teachers such as Joel Osteen who have no desire to discuss the ramifications of physical, spiritual, and eternal death that leads not only to separation of body, soul, and spirit from God, but to hopeless separation in eternal torment.
Rylucero why are … Rylucero why are you judging him for preaching in a way that is different and that in actuallity changes people because it hits peoples problems right on the head! I don’t think he wants to send people to he just wants people to prosper and grow as an individual!!! Stop criticising him for preaching from his experiences and from his heart!!!!! Don’t listen to him if that’s what you honestly think about him because he inspires many including me!!!!!!!!!

Christ spoke more … Christ spoke more of than he did Heaven and he referred to it more than anyone else in the Gospels, approximately 70 times in all. This is an indication of the sincerity he placed regarding and its consequences. Joel Osteen has no desire to preach of Judgment and eternal condemnation in Hell. If Christ considered it worthy of his attention, should not Joel?
Joel Osteen is … Joel Osteen is destroying souls because he has no desire to preach earnestly about sin, condemnation, and Gods judgment. He speaks not of the ramifications of sin, which not only leads to separation of body, soul, and spirit from God, but to hopeless separation in eternal torment. The faith that Christ spoke of according to the gospels, Joel Osteen denies by his own words and actions. All false teachers who do not truly repent are condemned and will face Judgment then eternal damnation.
(Psalms 139:8) If … (Psalms 139:8) If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
(Revelation 14:10) The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
Yeah, so many … Yeah, so many naysayers and they all instantly judge Joel Osteen. Do not judge lest you yourself be judged. I can find NOTHING that Joel preaches that I can find objectionable. Nothing that would lead me to hate or condemn. On the other hand, most of the naysayers here hate and condemn this good man. Bunch of Pharisees, the lot of them.
Before I came to … Before I came to know the Lord, I dabbled in the Occultic Arts. I can tell you from personal experience that there is a spiritual realm. I have on more than one occasion seen the hatred that these malevolent sprit being have for God and his people. There are dark forces at work to destroy our souls and whose only desire and purpose is that we are eternally separated from God, forever tormented and eventually cast into the Lake of Fire.
I do not know … I do not know whether heaven or exists. Know man has ever come back from the dead to tell us about heaven or hell. And you cannot convince me with words you learned from the Bible and not from personal experience.
Overcome anger. Testimony of someone who had an issue of anger
