Or is it because he has sold out to the devil and uses worldly teaching to "tickle ears" and attract a big crowd with lots of money?

He uses what the devil used on Christ - I will give you the world. Jesus didn't promise this current world as our home he promised the earth made new 1 Thessalonians 4. Many so called preachers now are using the Bible to tell people that they will be successful rich and claim their gift but not to change from their sinful lives. Isaiah 30:10 "Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits: "

sure adult adult males and woman like Joel Olsteen do plant the seeds for salvation, yet all of us be attentive to thats its nevertheless as much as us to return to Christ. Joel Olsteen only should not be seen a church chief. he's only too 2 sided on one sided subjects like Israel and Gods real word. on no account compromise in spite of in case you're on Larry King with a worldy God hating usa staring at you!

Pastor Joel is not the preacher his father was. Joel is a motivational speaker, and that is what has caused his father's church to survive. Joel preaches the gospel of prosperity, which is a false gospel, but it attracts big money. He is an ear tickler. The true gospel of Jesus Christ, that is the blood and the cross (the one I preach) is not accepted at Lakewood Church because it conflicts with their money agenda. They do not support the missions field, except their own. Incidentally, I live in Houston, so I know what I am talking about.

Joel Olsteen is a FAKE! I bought his book, and about 10 pages into it I threw it down and never continued to read it!
He talks about how he and his wife were walking down the street and saw a home that they really wanted to buy, but couldn't afford..............COULDNT AFFORD!?!?!?!???!!?!?!?!?
Daddy dearest had already built an empire, and YOU KNOW he had some money! WHY then could he not afford a new home ???
he goes on with the story of how he prayed, and prayed and God finally gave them the house! BOLONGA!
that just made me sick! and to this day I NEVER watch his TV service.
He and Benny Hinn, Jimmy Swaggert, and all the other so call evangelist are FAKE, out to STEAL ppls money!

Mav doesn't like Joel Olsteen. Mav won't comment anymore on question.
There is only 1 leader of a mega church that Mav likes, and Joel Olsteen isn't him.

He has sold out to the Devil. Even on Larry King live he said that Jesus is not necessarily the only way to heaven. No real Christian would say that. And, he is entirely TOO happy and unrealistic. No one is that happy and no one smiles that much. A preacher needs to convict his audience to tell them of their sins so they can have a better relationship with God.

When people fulfilled basic needs, they are open to other
needs in their free time. Religion fill some such needs. The
most precious thing - eternal life, for free and music and songs
thrown in. It is great salesmanship. And great customer satisfaction.
Hardly any capital required for this enterprise only talent to.....

Any name as big as Joel's is going to be a target. Any listener whose religion stops at church attendance is deaf and foolish.

it's because of his dad and mom's faithfulness to God.
God blesses those that bless others and Joel blesses others !
I,by no means am rich but I attend Lakewood Church.
Our former pastor knew Joel's dad very well and spoke highly of the entire family.
If you don't attend Lakewood Church or watch his program,I'm sorry you have the wrong preception of Pastor Osteen.
God Bless !

He is a showman, an actor, and this is his stage. Religion is the play script. Actors like playing to a full house. Enjoy the act, if you must, but do not take it seriously.
