I was looking at Joel Olsteen recently this was my fifth time looking at his program . And I suddenly realised that he never once quoted th bible. So I looked at him again and I realised that therte was no firm nor pointed references to Jesus or the Bible. Please note I live in the Caribbean and I did not know about the articles about him on the web and I had not even known of the Larry King interview. I just decided not to watch him again. I however cannot make light of what he is doing it is faslse teaching and he should be pretending that he represents Christ or Christianity. He in fact represents himself. I beleive however that real discerning Christians will by God’s power see the falshood as I did.

Mr. Osteen has brougt more people to Christ than I could ever dream of. He has shown his fruitfulness. Who are we to judge? His messages are bible based and he does use scriptures.

I don’t believe that Joel Osteen has done anything wrong. All I know is that I read both his books, I have his tapes and I can’t begin to tell you how much it has helped me in my life.
I don’t think anyone should be judging him for trying to help our world and the people in it better people. Isin’t judging up to the Lord?

We need more piece in this world instead of blasphemy of other people.

I agree with your assessment of Osteen 100 percent. I am going to go out on a limb and state that “Joel Osteen does not have a relationship with the Christ of the Bible.” Judas walked with Jesus for three years, looked and acted the part, and went to Hell. Jesus stated that in the last days many false prophets will arise and deceive many even the elect. Osteen deceives many because he’s very good at it. The apostle Paul gave a strong warning against those who preach another gospel. What is at stake here are the souls of men and women. If Osteen were truly a follower of Christ, he would care more about the souls of men than being popular. Remember that those mentioned in Jesus’ statement “Depart from me I never knew you” included those who swore they were preaching the gospel!!!! Osteen needs to repent and receive the Christ of the Bible as his personal savior before it’s too late!.

Once again, Joel Osteen’s utter failure to uphold Christian truth in an age of apostacy only further supports what is all too clear about his teaching: it is spiritually bankrupt.

Here is a link to articles our ministry has created on Osteen’s heretical compromise that is anointed as “Christianity” today.

I agree with Richard Young. As I listen to Joel Osteen or read his books, I keep in mind that Jesus said to be wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove; He also said to be a peacemaker; He also said for us to be fishers of men (meaning we as followers of His would know how to “catch” men for the Kingdom of God in a variety of ways - as led by the Spirit of God). The Apostle Paul also said that whoever was not against us, and acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord, are with us. From where I am sitting, Joel Osteen is being used by God to draw many in this nation and beyond to salvation in Jesus Christ, and once saved to a close relationship with the Lord that is consistent with the Spirit and word of God. I agree with you that we need to pray for Joel Osteen and Lakewood Church, and any other person or church like him/them given such a large platform to influence others.

Wow! I become so grieved when I see these charlatans man handling these goats. I just don’t understand how people can honestly think that these men are true Christians when the gospel the preach contradicts the Bible. Amazing, that God has sovereignly opened our eyes and hearts. God Bless

I just attended Joel’s Night of Hope in Baltimore and what you are saying about him simply isn’t true. He definitely preaches that we should put Christ first in our lives. His message today was full of scripture, the cross, salvation, hope and God’s unfailing love. I saw many,many people stand to accept/re-dedicate their lives to the Lord. How is that un-Godly? The Evil One is behind this criticism & it should stop!
