Absolutely disgusting; but, I would want to make clear to those who do not know, that Joel Osteen and Lakewood ARE NOT PART OF THE CHURCH! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/nope.gif" alt="" /> They are 100% WORD FAITH, which is 100% CULT, and not part of the BODY OF CHRIST but rather the Kingdom of Satan <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/threaddevil.gif" alt="" />. Yes, their leaven is everywhere in the Evangelical Church today, but Osteen himself is as outside the mainstream of historic Christian orthodoxy as the Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses, and his sins and heresies are far greater and deeper than those common to most "evangelical" magachurches. Many of these "superchurches" come DANGEROUSLY CLOSE to outright heresy, but most have not fallen all the way outside the pale of orthodoxy into outer darkness, preaching a Jesus who died spiritually and was "born again" in hell, and a God who is a slave to the Sovereign Laws of Faith.


Joel Osteen -- Problems!
