Joel Osteen 1

he is bringing many new people to Christianity but needs to emphasize more of his efforts on the human condition as to not teach a false gospel. we are sinners and need Jesus Christ for redemption. this is an essential teaching of a follower of Christ and the Christian religion.

For starters, it's a 2000 year old text people, he has figured out a way to manipulate the masses using religion just as the old Roman Catholic church did a few hundred years ago. And he has been very successful (financially and with power over people). Try to define meaning in your own life instead of listening to crap other people make up (like Joel here), no wait that would be difficult and require a lot of self-reflecting and effort. Plus you'd have to turn the TV off! Or if you do believe in God, why not just pray directly to Him and get your advice that way? Because you can't. And if you think you can, please don't listen when He tells you to kill your children (as many others have). And what of the rest of the world's religions? All claiming to be the "right one".

We all want to find purpose in life, that is why every society that has ever existed has created religion in some way. But purpose in life is all around you in the beauty of the world that just.... exists. The beauty that would not exist if it wasn't for the evils that exist as well. Sorry if that is a little to yin and yang for you (but they have religion in the east as well).

Osteen is a very slick preacher to be avoided. His teachings and his dad's teachings do not mesh at all. Most Baptist and Assembly of God church members dislike Osteen very much. He is all fluff no real substance to his messages. Just a feelgood message that does not change lives.

Joel Osteen has his own unique God-given style and Ministry. His Spiritual gifting is in exhortation & encouragement. There are many variations (variety) of personalities, temperaments and styles in the body of Christ. I may not choose this church for my own because I like Bible teaching of the 4 Gospels more in-depth and detailed. However, God is using this man's Ministry to encourage, help, console and attract many people. I have seen friends and family open their hearts to Christ because of this Ministry. The Scripture says "with loving kindness have (God) I drawn them." The word also said "one man plants, another waters but God gives the increase". Not every method and style is for everyone. If you like another style of preaching/teaching/worship that is your preference as long as God is getting all the Glory & the main focus is on God. I say praise the Lord! Often those that are harsh toward him have not studied his ministry. As far as Joel saying on Larry King that he did not know if a Jew, Buddhist, etc would go to Heaven. He is right we don't know who God will save and just maybe they will come to know the love, repentance and salvation Jesus offers through this wonderful Ministry! By the way his Worship team and Music is simple awesome. I would suggest whoever can should check out the CD "Lakewood Live" with the anointed music of Israel Houghton.

Joel Osteen is a false prophet. He violates several passages of scripture in his operation (e.g., First Timothy 6:1-6). If I could give him a 0 I would. The words that myself and others speak about Joel Osteen are in the spirit of and exactly like those Jesus spake of the Pharisees (see Matthew 23), like those Paul spoke of Hymenaeus and Alexander (see 1 Timothy 1:19-20), and like those John spoke of Diotrephes (3 John).

Those who defend Osteen cannot, nor do they every, provide any valid reasons (that are fully scripture supported) for doing so, but that's par for the course (as satan is not divided against himself). None of the supporters show evidence of having fulfilled God's call to "try the spirit whether it be of God" and don't appear to care that Osteen marks himself as a false prophets by always "speaking of the world" (both references can be found in 1 John 4). Some even cite Osteen's testimony that he's not a biblical scholar. That's just an excuse: 1) you don't have to be a scholar to preach the word (2 Timothy 4:2); 2) those in ministry are commanded to study to show themselves approved unto God; 3) those in ministry are commanded to seek God to find out what to speak to His people AND are supposed to speak as moved by the Holy Ghost -- Osteen does neither (by his own admission) and 4) Osteen is (indirectly) a confessed manpleaser -- and those who seek or are willing to please men and women are not serving God (Galatians 1:10).

Many here have cited Paul's declaration from God from Galatians which lets us know that anyone who preaches a gospel that's different from the apostles is accursed -- and that's regardless of how uplifting they are, how nice they are, or how good they might make you feel. As Jesus said (for those who follow Osteen), "...if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch." As 1 Timothy 6 says . . . from such withdraw thyself. Those who fail to withdraw.....

According to Deuteronomy 13, God allows false prophets to operate to prove people -- whether they love Him with all their heart or not. To embrace a false prophet (regardless of who they are) is an act of hatred towards God.

I've seen Joel preach in person. I have watched him working with people in his church, and have a sense that this man is no false anything. He will tell you his self, he's no Biblical Scholar. All of you who say negative things about him, would be better trying to start your own ministry to see if anyone at all would follow you. SO sad that you must say such damaging and unloving things about a man who, regardless of is imperfectsion, I putting the God's name in front of a lot of folks throughout the world. If you would crucify someone so kind as this man, you have crucified before. You are the wicked in the face of a man who's good intentions you would destroy. Are you sure Joel is being used of the Devil - or was it YOU through your very nasty postings. It's ok - cause if God could harden Pharo's heart, He can do the same for those of you He'd like to keep away from a real child of God whom you'd just as soon do harm.

Joel Osteen is a false preacher. He may be a very good motivational speaker but has no room behind a pulpit. Denying Christ publicly and distorting the Gospel to please the audience is a his teaching. But don't come here and say he preaches the Gospel because he doesn't. As a matter of fact, he refuses to even display the cross with the excuse that it may offend his members. Satan has a good servant in him.

Update: funny, he starts sounding more and more like a spiritual Hitler. God have mercy on him. And his victims.

Rarely have I seen a man so sincere, trying to do what the Lord has moved him to do, be so beaten down by so many. How do you know what is in this man's heart. I dare say that any of you critics have listened to more than one or two of his messages, but speak as though you have heard them all. This man has done far more good than any of you who criticize him. Joel closes each and every week with a message to every person listening to "Get involved with a good bible based church". If people listen and do get involved, isn't the good and bad side of being a Christian going to be taught by their pastor at the church they get involved with? So what if Joel is more of a motivational speaker than a fire and brimstone preacher?!?! He has probably gottn thousands and thousands of people that were on the fence to get off their behinds and get out and find "a good Bible based church". Mission accomplished. What have you critics done in comparison?

Sorry to hear about the skirmish Victoria Osteen suffered on the plane with the air hostess, but if those privileged characters want to know what suffering REALLY is like, why don't they try flying coach for a change? Poor people have to work their guts out for months to earn enough cash for an economy seat, and even then they might get bumped off if the plane's overbooked. Nothing like feeling like a bug squashed in a can of sardines, with nowhere to lay your weary head, and getting your circulation cut off from limited leg room. And she'd LOVE the cabin class cuisine, if she doesn't mind peeling the plastic off her own cordon bleu! Sorry, but I find it hard to find much sympathy for preachers who get rich off money people work REAL jobs to earn in order to keep them up in the style to which they've become accustomed!

This guy scares me. He is a used car salesmen. I saw an interview with him one time and he was asked why he rarely mentions Jesus and he more or less said, people were tired of hearing old stories and wanted to hear about things relevant today. Since when does a true Christian find the teachings of the Bible out of date? I was offended and I knew then to watch out for this guy. He, as someone as already said, is a great motivational speaker but I have a feeling if you follow this guy you may be in for a rude awakening.

joel is only preaching 1/2 truths on the gospel, which amounts to untruths....both sides have to be presented not just the feel good side...Christianity is work...and your not always going to feel good about some decisions you make. The truth of the gospel is we are all sinners saved by grace....and for a preacher to say he doesn't like to use the word "sinner" and "that there may another way to heaven but thru Jesus" is just plain crazy. IF there were other ways to eternity why would God send His Son to die a painful death on a cross if we could get there thru some other method or religion? To be a Christian is to believe wholeheartedly in the message of the Cross and not deny it no matter who is interviewing you...Christian or Jew.

I think Joel Osteen is Great! he doesn't ask for money constantly like most people do, he asks one time..and one time only. His books are fabulous! They have helped alot. I don't see anything New Age, so some people say. There is nothing wrong with being positive. But there is something wrong with being negative. It's a shame to read alot of the garbage down below, however I've been saved almost all my life, & honestly...all the people that has even had the nerve to say they are a christian & write something negative about a man of God, should read their bible a little more, as God speaks against that. If you do nnot have the gift of discernment..then you really shouldn't say anything.

  When I got out of new age and then saw Joel Osteen on TV, my first thought was "new age has infiltrated the church!!"  I feel the same way about several other popular teachers.

I have nothing personally against this man.  He seems like a really nice, likeable guy.  It gives me no pleasure to say these things about him. 

If you are looking for good, solid biblical counsel, stay away from him!  J.O. is a perfect example of how a person can seem like a Christian, hold a bible in his hand, but yet preach new age "positivism" - not the gospel of Jesus Christ.

UPDATE 4: So many "Christians" say they are "discerning Christians." So if a person disagrees with you I guess they are not discerning... Interesting!

UPDATE 3:

I disagree with the criticism of Joel. I wonder of all who make fun of him or say he's not genuine, if they themselves are doing much for the Lord. There is nothing wrong with offering hope in an encouraging and positive way to the world. Sure he could be more hell and brimstone in his approach but he's not. We all must answer for our efforts or lack thereof in reaching the lost. Rather than judging this brother when you know not his heart, look at your own personal walk with the Lord.
UPDATE 2:

My pastor told a story Sunday in church of someone who came up to a preacher and said, "I do not like your style of preaching." The preacher said "I guess I do not either. What are you doing for the Lord? How are you witnessing? Are you preaching"? The person said "No." The preacher said "I think I'll keep doing what I'm doing".

UPDATE: For those who feel that Joel's messages are not deep enough read1 Corinthians 3:1-7. Sometimes people are not ready for anything other than what draws then to the cross in the first place. Joel has a ministry to the people in his city, I will not judge him for doing what he feels he is lead to do. "Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual but as worldlymere infants in Christ. I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere men? For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," are you not mere men? What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe as the Lord has assigned to each his task. I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow." 1 Corinthians 3:1-7 Original Message: I have been touched by the words of this man and have felt God's anointing on his life. Before you judge Joel or anyone ask for God's grace. God give me wisdom to know when I have sinned, not my brother.

Joel Osteen 1

UPDATE: No disrespect to Osteen supporters, but I have a problem with the comment, "Osteen has decided to take another approach." The verse that immediately came to mind was Galatians 1:9. "If anyone preach any other gospel...let him be accursed." Who's decision was it, Osteen's or God's? We know by reading the book of Acts and most of the new testament that Christians were persecuted to no end, and are STILL going through the same things in other countries today. Why isn't persecution--something that Jesus and the apostles said that ALL who live godly will have to endure--happening in THIS country? Because we're comfortable, because we believe that we have a right to prosperity and easy living. Because most of our preachers are teaching a gospel of a 24-hour, 365 day a year windfall of blessings. Instead of storing up treasures in heaven, we want our "Best Life Now." A gospel of selling out to your flesh, of enduring hardships and going through trials, and of telling people that Jesus is the only way to salvation definitely doesn't sell, and doesn't make people feel very good. But as Paul said, "It is written, I lay in Zion a stumblingstone, a rock of offence: and whosoever believes in Him shall not be ashamed." That's why the apostles were killed. They didn't bring sunshine, they didn't preach about constant blue skies.

People love this man so much because he doesn't preach much about repentance and denying yourself. With him, it's all about God's favor and God being our pal and wanting us to feel good and wanting us to never fail or go thru hardships. That's not the gospel of Jesus, that's the false gospel of prosperity and living a life for Jesus without pain, which will NOT happen to those who are truly sold out to the Lord. Joel is a false teacher, period.

Yes, a spirit of "criticism" is moving across the country in an unprecedented way, or so says "Queen" Victoria Osteen. She just doesn't understand that people do get a little edgy when heresy is passed off for the unchanging Message of Jesus Christ. She and her co-heretic husband parade in their finery and strut on their mega-stage like it's an affirmation of their blasphemies, shoving an occasional "peon" along the way, but it's starting to unravel already. You can only spout that same feel-good "sermon" so many times, and people will realize that the hunger is still there. As they said way back then: "Sir, we would see Jesus." John 12:21
And now we have the latest "best smeller" from JO: "Become a Better You"...but, as even he admits, Jesus and God are not mentioned in its pages. So, how can a "pastor" lead his flock toward a better life without acknowledging the source of all good and perfect things? Oh, that's right, Joel says that it's somebody ELSE'S job to tell the truth, he's just a "LIFE COACH".
Joel Osteen is a frightening person. Even if he doesn't realize what he's saying and writing, the power behind him certainly does.

I love Joel Osteen.  He brings a sense of humor every week.  It seems a lot of religious folk don't really appreciate his "candy coating" of Jesus.  I agree to an extent.  God is not all about feeling good about yourself ~ He demands service ~ not only to yourself.  If you can take that, and still accept the positivity of Joel, you will be well rounded.  It is nice to hear constantly how GOD loves you and that you have the power to do anything you want to.  Joel always makes me feel good about myself and my life choices.  I am very moved by this mans' words.  If you have never, I would highly recommend seeing him live!  I was SO moved, that even though I had already proclaimed my life to Jesus, I did an altar call.

I have read everyone's reviews and respect them, but the main complaint when it comes to Mr. Joel Osteen is that he is profiting from his evangelism. But, don't all preachers? When you go to a physical church, do you give offering/tithes? Do you all have a "Pastor's Appreciation Day?" How is he supposed to survive, opting to have the profession of a pastor, if he doesn't gain some profits? As far as him having a toy or game, that's just like going to Vacation Bible School or purchasing a Children's Bible. Why don't we complain to the companies who make games, teaching our children how to wreck cars, shoot/slap people, and that promote other crimes/violence? We, as people, need to stop reading so much into things and going off the past or reputations of others, when it comes to judging people. We shouldn't be judging anyway. I have only watched a few of his sermons, and I enjoyed them. He touched my heart. At least he is not tryng to sell me a prayer cloth, package, or reading. He is just speaking the Word. What in the world is wrong with that? He doesn't claim to be a healer, prophet, or miracle-worker. He just wants to share with us, what the Lord has shared with him. Think about this, and God Bless you all!

I believe God works through him sunday after sunday to bring hope and encouragement to many CHristians in this world, actually i know he does lol

i'd like to start by saying my whole intire family enjoy's your ministry.joel, is just a household name.your insirational messages are something we look foward to every week.however i do have a concern i'd like to share with you. it is very close to my heart.i have 4 family members (2 used to go to church regularly)that do not attend a home church.they feel that watching your messages compensates for thier church time.they are perfectly capeable of getting out. i remind them that you yourself at the end of every show stress the importance of getting into a good bible based church. i'm very unsuccessful at convincing them.i know that alot of people are doing the same.i just wanted you to be aware of what is going on. keep up the good work ,we love you,and look foward to your messages every sunday before church!
