Joel Osteen’s Tragic Ignorance of the Gospel
January 13, 20124 Comments
Joel Osteen has made yet another television talk show appearance in which he displays his tragic ignorance of the Gospel, this time on Oprah Winfrey’s new talk show on her OWN Network, Oprah’s Next Chapter. Paul responded to what Osteen said to Oprah about God and Homosexuality:

I am not a fan of Joel Osteen’s preaching. I agree with you that I think he has good intentions. It is sad, because he does seem to be a nice fellow (from TV interviews and from everything I have heard). To paraphrase Rich Mullins, he’s not bad, he’s just wrong. In the love of Christ, I hope he can allow the Holy Spirit to work in these areas of his life, so that he can figure it out.
Would you rather him not speak at all? Need to stop hating.
The most loving thing a person can do is tell the truth to a person in error, Andrew.
Paul,
Joe Osteen is very calculated in almost everything he says. He was on Oprah! He has had numerous opportunities on Larry King, Oprah etc. to straighten out his errors over the years. He has not done so because he would lose half his crowd and never be asked back on those national programs.
To Andrew,
Just because you tell the TRUTH about anyones PUBLIC pronouncements does NOT mean that you hate them! Truth believers do NOT hate anyone. And yes . . . I would rather he not speak at all . . . if he can’t tell the TRUTH. By the way, he is so far off and alot of issues!!
