LOL....Osteen preaches the gospel. Please I know more about theology than Osteen's watered down gospel that will lead thousands to hell.
I believe in all that but the there is one important difference i seek first the kingdom of God.

I have never heard him talk up health and wealth in the few times i have listened to his message.

What is happening in Ruwanda is not Joel Osteens fault anymore than my neighbor in need is mine.

We are called to minister to the need not ignore it, which we woud if we ourselves were sick and in poverty.

Boy you could spin a tale. I have heard him many times, it's called "motivational speaking"
No one said, what happened in Ruwanda is Osteen's fault but a pastor must prepare his sheep for such things whether it be a death in the family or a child being raped and murdered through his teachings.

"God moves in mysterious ways" or "Jesus loves you" is not going to cut it and really does not make any sense.

It was said to you . You are saying God's love is restrained to a chosen few He died for , this is not the gospel it's another gospel , hence me saying to you repent and believe the gospel.

I even think you have calvinism mixed up . A Calvinist who loved the Lord would NEVER disclose the doctrine he believes on an open forum for the lost to read .

There is no disputing we are called to preach the gospel Christ died for our sin was buried and rose again on the third day , and by the way if you are not the elect you are not included,utter disgrace that you are saying what you are saying

Jesus never went around talking openly that way to the lost sheep , even if He believed in Calvinism .

Exactly Jesus loves you will not cut it if works don't follow.

God is an ever present help in trouble , He is abundantly available , that goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our life.

That He is Jehovah Jireh , that he is with us always .

How can this be tickling ears ?.

Why should I repent? repent for what? it's like you are a police officer pulling me over and gave me a 200 dollar ticket and say I must pay, no reason nothing. REPENT FOR WHAT?!

Says who, what verse is that? why would I not disclose what I learned about the Lord, not to mention my favorite doctrine to the lost?

Well scripture says that, you have nothing to worry about if you believe, if you believe you are ok?

When he sits on Larry King's show and refuses to say that unbelievers will go to hell, he's an ear-tickler. When he says instead "I don't know"...that leads me to question if he knows the gospel at all.

Judging anothers salvation this is entirely the foundation of calvinism if you are not included in the elect you are not loved.

Favorite doctrine ?????????????? Our fathers will is the doctrine

This is why i said to you Fundy your doctrine is mixed up , because reading your posts , which is all we can go by, all you have is a doctrine , which denies entry into the kingdom of God to the whosoevers.

I would flat out tell Larry King there is no Hell , though i fully understand what Joel was saying when He refused to be drawn , you lot would eat or stone him alive.
