I am not sure how it happened. I had gone to the last post on the previous page and hit the quote button. My blind eyes did not see that somehow I had quoted you. Forgive me.

Members ASongOfDegrees Posted March 13, 2014 Members Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) Any man like Osteen with a perpetual smile on his face I don't trust. Reminds me of the "Smile Mask Syndrome". Edited March 13, 2014 by ASongOfDegrees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Ukulelemike Posted March 13, 2014 Moderators Share Posted March 13, 2014 I love Joel Osteen! I believe him to be one of the greats, up there with Spurgeon, Moody and Sunday! A man dedicated to truth and holiness wherever it can be found! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Donillo Posted March 20, 2014 Members Share Posted March 20, 2014 I watched Osteen last Sunday because I was home recovering from a surgery . I thought he was quite good. He said we shouldn't allow others to bring us down and gave scripture to back it up. Very edifying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Which MV did he quote from? Â If just 1/2th of the people who filled his stadium were biblically saved Houston would be run by conservative statesmen and not liberal politicians.

Members John81 Posted March 21, 2014 Members Share Posted March 21, 2014 Even if all of Osteens church were filled with born again Christians that wouldn't mean they would be involved in or even effecting political change.  That said, I've listened to Osteen preach a few times and I've read his first three or four books. He does present the Gospel in the most basic form but beyond that he mostly preaches a motivational, self-help message which amounts to a very watered down version of growing in Christ. I noticed in his books that with each new book his message became more and more watered down.  Yes, Osteen uses Scripture, but not to the fullest extent and not always in right context. He leaves out much of what Scripture teaches, for the sake of political correctness and popularity, which hinders growth in Christ and limits the message of Scripture.  The way he preaches today, one could easily make a "decision" for Christ that isn't being born again but would give them a false hope and belief they are good with God. Then the watered down preaching on Christian living would help them to think they are good Christians when in fact they are still lost. That's one of the greatest dangers of his preaching.

Members ASongOfDegrees Posted March 21, 2014 Members Share Posted March 21, 2014 Political change is always effected when Christians get right and people get saved. I'm not sure about this. It can swing either way. I think persecution and rejection can be ratcheted up too. Depends on how wicked the nation is those Christians reside in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
