7 False Teachers in the Church TodayArticle HereExcerpt:

@EddyFree : Is the Tickler specific to the Catholic church?I keed, I keed...

@Deacon33399 :

If you want something to come down, you first got to throw something up.

I feel ripped off.
I never got tickled in Church.
😁🤷‍♂️

@Deacon33399 : Your deductive reasoning skills are as bad as your knowledge of the history of the Iberian peninsula. Please note I'm not defending anybody

I know a lady who was a night owl and used to watch him on TV.....Late one night she saw a sermon given by a female preacher(I don't know which one, I don't keep up with it) on TV...Then either later that night/morning or a day or two later, she saw Joel give the exact same sermon...Needless to say, she never watched him again...

So, here we go again, bashing Joel. What is up with folks today? Slander anyone you don't care for.
If you don't like him, don't watch, very simple. But, I ask again, Deacon, what have you done for God lately? Must be a lot since you are boldly judging others. Just be aware that God will judge you. And "God don't like ugly" as the saying goes.

@Diane : Really? He is not God if he does not love ALL.And I usually don't get into religious discussions!

It's amazing how/why people hate and judge Joel O'steen. Jealousy?
He and his family are wonderful people. He preaches to the masses, a simple message to draw unbelievers and believers to the Lord.
Most churches have Bible study for a more indepth knowledge of God's word.
I feel sorry for folks who speak badly about Joel. Don't they have anything better to do?
If you want to rant against false preachers, leave Joel alone and realize there are those who really do lie and try to con people out of their money. The horrible Jimmy Swaggart is a perfect example, among others who are truly fake, BUT not Joel!
Joel is a true example of God's love.
BTW ce3673: Diane never said God doesn't love all. Way to take a statement and twist it in an attempt to help your hateful rhetoric.

@ChloeW : Thank you so much for your thoughts. God Bless!

@ChloeW : Respectfully, I hardly doubt so. As Christians we are to uphold the truth that is that of the Bible, and expose false teachers (you may call it judgement). But like any other professed teacher of faith...they must be held to a doctrinal standard.
Osteen has problems with this. He is a "word of faith" type of preacher, which has a very fatal flaw, in it teaches all things can be made so, by saying the words. It is not scriptural, but only a concept practiced by many televangelist types. In reading his first book, he put out a number of years, I realized this what he is all about. Osteen says in his book...If you are in good standing with God, that helps you with the little things, like helping you find a good parking spot at the mall. Patently absurd in the light of scripture.
Again, as Christians, we have to call this kind of thing out as false.
