He is a multi-millionare ($$$$$$$) pastor with a big membership church and selling besttelling books. But it doesn't meant that he as a pastor spread out the right message from the bible! Do you believe him? If yes, tell me why?

I believe he is a charismatic,charming con artist .
He has women falling all over him .
He uses his charm ,southern accent ,bright smile and the bible to screw everyone of his church members out of their money.
Isn't`t that what its all about ,anyway ????

I think he tells the truth .. I have only had 1 or 2 occassions where I questioned what he was saying ...and I guess you will have that with anyone.
I do wish he would teach more from the Bible, and less 'feel good / motivational' sermons ...However, I will say that I was down in the dumps for quite some time (couple of years probably) and watching him not only raised my spirits but also my moral and most importantly brought me back to the Christ.
I respect him for that ... I am sure there are many people who can use the spiritual uplifting.

He has faith. He preaches faith. He preaches belief in God. If you've read his book, it's all about praying and waiting. He follows and presents several timeless and basic views of organized Christianity. Those are; if you're poor, keep praying and don't worry 'cause it will all be better sometime and if you're rich, it's ok and keep praying to get more. An unfortunate tenet of organized Christianity is it provides excuses and reasons for the poor to stay poor, the rich to stay rich, and them not to really help each other because whatever their situation is, it's God's will. I must say that I am a Christian, although not of the organized religious type. Too many double standards.

I do believe him. Why? Not real sure. I have not read his books. He does preach about the Lord Jesus though. Of course he has money - but I want to believe that God is blessing him for his efforts and he is pleasing the Lord. I do listen to him and he sounds good. Not sure.

No. He is a word faith teacher. What he says flies against the Bible on a number of points.

Try listening to the message. The answer is YES! Any other voice that says he does not is not telling the truth. THE DEVIL IS THE FATHER OF LIES. HE TRIES TO DECEIVE, KILL, STEAL, & DESTROY. JESUS COMES TO GIVE US LIFE IN ABUNDANCE. PASTOR JOEL IS BLESSED AND LIVES AN ABUNDANT LIFE BECAUSE GOD PROMISSED THAT TO ALL OF US IN HIS WORD. JOEL RECIEVES BECAUSE HE BELIEVES AND IS OBEDIANT TO OUR FATHER GOD IN HEAVEN. OUR FATHER GOD IS SOOOOOOO AWESOME!!

I've always found him condescending, but that goes for most TV preachers. He also has a little mullet.

I LIKE HIM VERY MUCH. BUT HE DOES NOT PREACH THE FULL GOSPEL .HE IS ALL ABOUT HEALTH ,WEALTH AND LET THE GOOD TIME ROLL.
BUT TRUTH IS MANY PEOPLE ARE SICK, POOR ,AND IN TROUBLE AND THEY STILL LOVE GOD AND ARE GOOD CHRISTIANS.
MONEY IS NICE TO HAVE , BUT IT IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL.
