Joel Osteen is a question in himself! He has a church with 25,000 + members and still wants donations. I wonder what his answer would be if you asked him how much is enough? And I wonder if he has read that it would be easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom Of Heaven..........He and his program is an offense to the born again christian world!!!!!! That is what I think about him. I do not hate him, just his selfish and deceiving ways.

He's a good man, trying to do the Father's business. My opinion, he is too soft spoken, he is very positive on life, but sort of fails to show both good and bad from God's word. I've only heard him on television, not in real life. That might make a big difference in how I view his stance. I do think he is doing the best he can do in reaching out to the lost.

He's not the preacher that his dad was. He is ignorant of a lot of things. His message is predominately a message of prosperity. He really does not know the gospel. When Larry King asked him if there was any other way to heaven other than Jesus, he said that he did not know. Barbara Walters really tore him up in an interview over his pumping people for money. His wife is materialistic and opportunistic.

he believes that being a Christian is all about prosperity and health and wealth. this is called the prosperity gospel and it is a false teaching. if you rad the New Testament you will see that all but one of Jesus' apostles were put to death for their beliefs and imprisoned regularly. Christ said that if you follow him you will suffer persecution yet todays church goers think its all about blessing and think they are persecute because someone made fun of them. That's not persecution. If you are not attacked regularly and losing what you own or in trouble with the law for your beliefs etc. then you are not serving God. Joel Olsteen is a false teacher deceiving millions as are many others. Hopefully God will open his eyes to the truth or Joel olsteen will be cast into the lake of Fire on judgment day. may God have mercy on his soul and the lazy greedy people that follow him.
True Christians would not follow such a man.
