I beg to differ. Leviticus 18:22 (CEB) states "You must not have sexual intercourse with a man as you would with a woman; it is a detestable practice." Whatever one's opinion is concerning homosexuality, there's no arguing that the Bible speaks on it and defines it as sinful.
@jeromereiter542310 жыл бұрын
James Morris Nonsense. People writing in the Bronze Age had no understanding of sexual orientation. You are reading your prejudice into ancient writings. But, if you want to pretend that Leviticus, a book of Laws for Levite priests, which we no longer even have, still applies today, then do you call for executing all gay men? And how about stoning adulterers? There are 114 abominations in Leviticus, but no Christians today follow Levitical law. So, don't pluck out a sentence from thousands of years ago and pretend it applies today when even you don't follow the "solution" it offers.

Maybe because God doesn't condemn homosexuality. If you read the bible, and understand it, then in order for you to still have a homophobic belief, you'd have to call Jesus a liar by saying God would condemn an act of love. Read Matthew 22:36-40, and with that understanding, go back and read over the entire chapter that you "think" is condemning homosexuality, and correct yourself. There is forgiveness for sins committed out of ignorance, but with knowledge that you are wrong, you'd have no excuse. For if a righteous person turns away from God, they have committed an unforgivable sin, so being a person that would turn people away from the Word out of hatred, you'd be guilty of their unrighteousness by forbidding them a righteous life.

Dario Sanchez If by false prophet, you mean Joel Osteen, then I’m with you on that, because he rarely opens his bible. However, the woman above who said only Jesus’ blood gets us to heaven, she is right. We cannot save ourselves, many who are born again fall back into sin. But God made a promise. That promise is everlasting life for everyone who believes in Him. We’re either righteous on our own by being sinless, or we’re unrighteous on our own by just one sin. Nobody except Jesus was sinless. That being said, he who fails at one is guilty of all. We are saved by faith, and works naturally are a product of our salvation. But works doesn’t mean sinless.

Flire Gunther Galatians 3 3 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? 2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? 4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain. 5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. 10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. 11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. 12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. 13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. 15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto. 16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. 17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. 18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. 19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. 20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. 21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. 22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. 23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. 24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. Then repent. Stop being the Pharisee and spitting in the face of Jesus. We are not under Old Covenant laws. Stop unrighteously judging other by laws that you are not righteous in, nor is anyone under. If you want to follow the law, then follow it straight to hell and stop dragging people down the path to damnation. Only Jesus is the way to the Father.

That means believing Jesus Christ died on the cross for our [personal] sins & that He is risen and sits on the right side of the Father in Heaven. Now, please repeat again to me how I "lack the belief in what makes a person a Christian" if you dare.

I would like to read a debate by theologians about the differnce between knowing you will sin again and planning to sin . I mean if you plan to continue how is it possible to repent. And too your first point should you leave church with the feeling of guilt. Or leave with a renewed spirt , I mean knowing your saved though christ knowing your forgiven because your sins have been paid for , exsplain how you van walk in guilt and faith at the same time.

I wish Joel had the Holy Spirit. But, he doesn't, he gets pushed around by these people. Scripture is sufficient to counter strike their arguments. It's not about pleasing people, but God, Joel pleases people and say what they want to hear. That's not Jesus like, Jesus rebuked everybody! That's part of the reason Jesus was crucified, because of Truth. Is Joel Osteen ready to be baptized in the Baptism Jesus was baptized with? (Persecution) Only when Joel gives his money away by speaking Truth. Joel, people don't need their spirit uplifted, the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked who may understand it? Jer 17:9.. People need the Word and the Word is Spirit, and the Word shall convict you of sin. Isaiah 58 Shout the message! Don’t hold back.Say to my people Israel:You’ve sinned! You’ve turned against the Lord.

See some people don’t know that it is considered a sin against God to be a homosexual and he does not consent to homosexuality . Does not mean that he hates you the homosexual but the sin . It’s a touchy subject and Joel handles it well .

He should have just stood his ground and said yes. it's not about people leaving the church just because they are gay and get offended, he has to speak the truth no matter what. You can uplift people, but there needs to be a balance of uplifting and the truth. You can't keep giving people these feel good messages and then there is nothing being said so that they do something about the sin that is still in their lives. Few people today preach about sin, and that there is a process of sanctification. Its a tough pill to swallow, but its needed. Christian figures need to be bold when it comes to these topics. You obey God and leave the consequences to Him.

Sin is terrible, it is horrific. Every sin, yes even homosexuality which is a stronghold and a widespread lie. We have 0 hope for saving ourselves. Our only saving grace is through Jesus Christ and what he has done. In him we can do all things and be who we were called to be. In him, strongholds and lies can be broken. In him there is freedom and love. Demons tremble just at the sound of his name. He took all our sins so that we may be able to share his glorious kingdom that reigns above all. All is required of us is to repent and trust in him. He will fight all our battles, all we have to do is obey and say yes. He will give us courage and remove all our fears. And all of this is true. Nothing added, nothing subtracted. If that's not the greatest thing of all, I do not know what is. The Gospel is greater than pure gold in itself. We do not need to water down anything.

I'm new in Christ and from what I've read so far, the scriptures doesn't say that being gay in itself is a sin but the practices of unnatural relations/acts like, Men lying with other men (Leviticus 18:22, Romans 1:26-27), women with other women as well fornication, adultery, or other forms of sexual immorality. God doesn't hate us gay people but I think he despise the "practices" of homosexual lusts as well as ALL OTHER SINS. I was saved and I still struggle with the lust of homosexuality but I know the LORD is changing me and instilling new desires in my heart. One thing I've learned is that the LORD works in his own time with each of us. Some desires may change instantly while others take time, even years. We must remain patient and keep the faith and trust in the LORD and his promises. If you're confused about this subject, it's best to go directly to JESUS himself through prayer, asking forgiveness, accepting him as your LORD and Savior, confess your sins and ask to be baptize with the HOLY SPIRIT (which is the spirit of TRUTH and will teach you all things).

Tom Brooks You're right, the world is cursed and homosexuality wasn't what God intended. We must understand the origins of certain sins like homosexuality. Before I started walking in the spirit, I also wanted more clarity as to why homosexuality was condemned in the bible. So I started researching other sources, had conversations with God, prayed and let the Holy Spirit guide me to more truths and apply. To truly understand why homosexuality exists today is to understand it's origins. These are not the only sources I found but it's enough to make sense when applied through the spirit. Homosexuality stems from the curse of Ham (father of Canaan), passed down from the Canaanites, Romans, etc en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_of_Ham History of homosexuality www.conservapedia.com/History_of_homosexuality Killing the Canaanites www.equip.org/articles/killing-the-canaanites Historical data concerning the history of homosexuality: www.conservapedia.com/History_of_homosexuality#Historical_data_concerning_the_history_of_homosexuality -------------------------------------------------------------- Consequences of prevalent homosexuality according to this reads: "As with Sodom and its region, (Jude 1:7) widespread fornication and its abominable homosexual form are Biblically seen by traditional Christians as concomitant with “pride, fullness of bread and abundance of idleness, and selfishness. (Ezek. 16:49,50), and is a preclude to national travail and ultimate destruction, if such prevalence continued. Historically, societies that have embraced homosexuality have perished, whereas those that have upheld traditional values have endured. For example, ancient Rome's decline and its eventual fall in A.D. 476 were due in no small part to a growing tolerance of homosexual acts beginning in the Late Republic period ending in 27 B.C. We also see this today, both internationally and nationally. Internationally, those countries that preserve conservative social morality and family values are the leaders in both freedom and prosperity, while those that grant special rights to homosexuals lag in both areas. Nationally, in America's big cities, the "gayborhoods" have the highest rates of crime and other social dysfunctions and the lowest property values, whereas the reverse is true in neighborhoods in which socially conservative Christian churches are prevalent." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He answered their question more than once on whether he believes being gay is a sin. He said yes. He also listed other sins. He is smart enough to realize that being combative will never win souls. That's why he approached the question humbly. What more do you want him to do, get frustrated, and start pounding his fist on the table telling them they're wrong, and going to hell. That's the very reason many wont go to church, because they leave feeling condemned, and beat up. When did that ever work. He is coming from a gentle, caring attitude. His point was that he believed what the bible says, but that there are also many other things that God proclaims are sins as well. Lying, stealing, etc. He responded in a sincere, loving point of view. He said himself, he didnt like making people feel bad, even though he clearly conveyed he believes in the bible, and admitted it being wrong in God's eyes. I think he handled it right. His theme is to try, and build people up, and give them hope. Interpret the scriptures however you want, but it's very clear on what God says in his word about it, He says it's wrong, but that's why he sent his son to die on the cross, to be a sacrifice for our sins. If you love God, then develop a personal relationship with him. He said himself, Love covers a multitude of sins. In the end, we are all sinners, saved by grace, if we just accept his free gift.

@@adrianavaldespino7228 I agree that Joel is a great motivational speaker. However, he operates in the office as a pastor. There is definitely a huge difference between the two. A pastor's responsibility is to provide leadership to his congregation, interpret/teach ALL bibical scriptures with authority (seemingly good and bad) to warn people of sin, etc... God is love, but He's also a God of judgement.

@@kiawilliams5541 I agree with you, but it takes a lifetime to understand ALL scripture. I understand some scripture more clearly than other scriptures . So I preach and teach on what I understand most. For example, I stay away from teaching about end-times and revelations topics because I don't yet have an understanding of it yet. Osteen said many times that he does not understand it all so he sticks with what he does know best. This is fine for me. But I do agree and feel he should talk more about sin and salvation in his sermons because he is a pastor who understands these basic topics of confession of sin, repentance and salvation from sin through Jesus.

Homosexuality is not "God's best"?????? Homosexuality has NOTHING to do with God, and everything to do with Satan. Joel has no idea how to deal with these people who are countering him. This is what happens when you do not preach what the bible says and instead sugarcoat and tell people what they want to hear.

Don't you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don't fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sIn, or who worship Idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, 10 or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people--none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God. 11 Some of you were once like that. But you were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. 12 You say, "I am allowed to do anything"--but not everything is good for you. And even though "I am allowed to do anything," I must not become a SLAVE to anything. 13 You say, "Food was made for the stomach, and the stomach for food." (This is true, though someday God will do away with both of them.) But you can't say that our bodies were made for sexual immorality. They were made for the Lord, and the Lord cares about our bodies. 14 And God will raise us from the dead by his power, just as he raised our Lord from the dead. ... 18 Run[FLEE] from sexual sIn! No other sIn so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sIn against your own body. 19 Don't you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, 20 for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.1Corinthians6But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman should have her own husband. 3 The husband should fulfill his wife's sexual needs, and the wife should fulfill her husband's needs.1Corinthians7 When you follow the desires of your sInful nature, the results are very clear: sexual Immorality, Impurity, lustful pleasures, 20 Idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, 21 envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sIns like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God. 22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and SELF-CONTROL. There is no law against these things! 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sInful nature to his cross and crucified them there. 25 Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit's leading in every part of our lives. 26 Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another.Galations5Revelation20/21 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that ANY should perish, but that ALL should come to REPENTance.2Peter3 But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from ALL sin. 8 If we claim we have no sIn, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. 9 BUT if we CONFESS our sIns to HIM, HE is faithful and just to forgive us our sIns and to cleanse us from ALL wickedness/unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not sInned, we are calling God a liar and showing that his word has no place in our hearts.1John1Confess [your] faults one to another, and P R A Y one for another, that ye may be healed.

James, you have to have faith in The Godhead and his Torah and his Holy Book. The fact is that you will have believers who will confess their sins to be found not guilty when they stand before God and will pass from judgement meaning they will not be judged for their sins for they have all been cleansed by THE BLOOD OF CHRIST. There will also be those who will not repent of their sins and that is their free choice, but they will have to go to the judgement which is THE GREAT WHITE THRONE to be judged of all the sins they refused to repent of. So, many of our friends, acquaintances, neighbours, school friends, relatives, and all the people that came into our lives for whatever amount of time be it a short time or they remained part of our lives. The Godhead will take things into their hands and will not be mocked by anyone for those who repent some to everlasting life or eternal life while those who did not repent will be at the last judgement and will be judged by Yehoshua THE GREAT KING also known as THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS AND THE KING OF ISRAEL and he will be in charge of the ROYAL COURT OF THE WORLD which is superior to every earthly court be it the World Court at the Hage in |Brussels this court is superior for it will be the judgement of the unbelievers from the beginning of mankind to the end of the world there will be Great Men who were Freemasons/IIIuminati men of Secret Societies all at this court to be Judged by YEHOSHUA the SON OF THE LIVING THE GODHEAD CREATOR OF EVERYTHING. At this court will also be small men those who very slaves, blue-collar workers, and ordinary people who also refused to repent of their sins. My counsel to the world is that The Godhead and all the believers who have their names written in THE BOOK OF LIFE and LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE want for everyone to be SAVED from their sins. But, the choice is of the person and the believer can lead a person to the SPRINGS OF LIVING water but can make the person drink of that spiritual heavenly drink that fulfills the spirit of man. All, we as believers can say is Yehoshua wants for all men and women from Adam and Eve to when the end of world occurs that all people be saved. For THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGEMENT OF YEHOSHUA is something frightening for YEHOSHUA will not have no mercy and compassion like he does now. Instead, he will have fury, vengeance and wrath on that day against all who committed HIGH TREASON against him and did not repent. YEHOSHUA will instruct the holy angels to get the books of evidence and in those books are written all the sins that were not forgiven and the sins will be told to the person being judged once all his or her sins have been told, then YEHOSHUA will open his BOOK OF LIFE to see if the name was written in THE BOOK OF LIFE if the name is not there. YEHOSHUA will instruct the holy angels to take the person who has been judged and YEHOSHUA will tell the person DEPART FROM ME YOU WORKER OF INIQUITY FOR I NEVER KNEW YOU and the person judged will be tied in spiritual changes and thrown into THE LAKE OF FIRE for all ETERNITY and that is the unrepentent sinners end and doom.

It had to do with the abomination of a righteous person joining together in an unholy union with an unrighteous person.

Aaron Gentry If homosexuality is genetic (born that way) and not a choice that is made after birth, then the only reason why homosexuality continues to exist in the population is because it has historically not been accepted as normal behavior by society. So homosexuals stayed in the closet got married and had children, thereby passing on their homosexual genetics to future generations. Thus once homosexuality becomes fully accepted by society, homosexuals will stop procreating and stop passing on their homosexual genetics to future generations thereby naturally selecting their homosexual behavior out of the gene pool. Just as if everyone with blue eyes stopped procreating, blue eyes would eventually cease to exist in the population, the same would be true with homosexuality or any genetically based attribute Therefore homosexuals, by demanding to be accepted by society, will cause their own eventual extinction.

***** And how do you even know that?. How do you know there would be no social stigmas in the earliest humans?. Most if not all heterosexual men have the same reaction seeing two men having sex as most people would seeing a man having sex with a farm animal, or sex with children. Its a uncontrollable visceral reaction Also I'M not saying homosexuality is genetic. I'M saying *if* it is genetic, then natural selection will remove it (for the most part) because its completely unnatural for homosexuals to procreate If homosexuality is not genetic, then its a choice made after birth and no homosexual can claim " I WAS BORN THAT WAY" or "GOD MADE ME THIS WAY". And if it is a choice made after birth, it is reversible Your problem is you argue against logic & reason. Any trait that is genetically based can not persist in the population if the people who have that genetic trait don't procreate. So if homosexuality is genetically based the only way it can continue to exist is if homosexuals go against their nature and procreate. This fact of proven science is flying right over your head

We all have our problems, and all we can do is try our hardest and ask for the Holy spirit's help in dealing with them. If youre born again, you are a child of God.

JOEL OSTEEN IS A GODFATHER AND GANGSTER HE HAS A CONSIGLIERE BY HIS SIDE AT THE CHURCH WHO GIVES HIM ADVICE AND COUNSEL ON CHURCH MATTERS. AND, ALSO PROVIDES SEXUAL SERVICES LIKE COMMITTING ANAL SEX BEFORE AND AFTER SUNDAY CHURCH SERVICES. JOEL OSTEEN IS A PERVERT AND SODOMITE TRAITS FOUND IN FREEMASONS AND ILLUMINATIS. JOEL OSTEEN TO BE GIVEN HIS FINAL VERDICT FROM YEHOSHUA JESUS CHRIST WHEN HE IS JUDGED AT THE GREAT WHITE THRONE FOR ALL HIS SINS THAT HE REFUSED TO REPENT OF FOR FREEMASONS AND ILLUMINATIS CANNOT REPENT OF THEIR SINS FOR JOEL OSTEEN IS A SERVANT OF THE GOD OF THIS WORLD AND RULER OF THIS WORLD THE RED DRAGON IS HIS GOD NOT THE LORD YEHOSHUA THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD OF ISRAEL.. JOEL OSTEEN AT GEHENNA THE PLACE OF TORMENT WHEN HE IS CALLED BY YEHOSHUA WHO HAS THE KEYS OF DEATH AND HELL.

Pianoman 70s style Exactly, and in Pastor Joel's defense, I empathize that he may get intimidated being put into a box like this, having others call him out for not preaching that "homosexuality is a sin." I'm 21, and have been a Christian nearly all my life thus far, have cerebral palsy, and recently came out as bi-romantic last year, which has shocked many of my fellow Christian friends, and plenty of fierce theological argumentation. He doesn't want to judge because he feels that it is not his place to call out certain groups of people as 'sinners' since, technically speaking, EVERYONE SINS in some way, big or small. What so many critics tend to ignore is that the Scriptures also say plenty of stuff about heterosexual lust, marriage and adultery, but straight people tend to build up fences too and say, "I was born straight, so all of this behavior is sort of okay..." I tend to rebut with, "Well, if you are also a Bible-believing Christian, and you believe every word in this book is God's final and authoritative Word, then we are equally sinners according to all of these passages." Believing that Jesus is the Son of God, and your Savior doesn't mean that I'm ANY BETTER than any non-Christian, and it certainly does not mean I stop sinning. It just means He loves me unconditionally even when I do, whether I mean to or not. This is why I now open up my arms to my fellow gay and bi Christian brothers and sisters, because they wish to be understood and loved as well. And I love Pastor Osteen's messages of hope and reconciliation too! I've also taken comparative religious studies classes here in college, and love to talk to non-Christians about faith, starting from a common ground and working our way out. Feel free to write me! joshuabible@gmail.com and facebook.com/josh.chen25 God bless, Josh

Josh Chen Josh, you made a great point about them wanting to brow beat the preacher about calling homosexuality a sin, but not wanting to have him call out people on lust, adultery and non-marital sex. It's always nice to get the preacher to go crazy on a sin that you aren't personally involved in. Just makes you feel so much better. I have a mild case of Cerebral Palsy too. You really can't see it, in my case, to look at me, but it does make it difficult for me to sustain fast motions when I play the piano.

Pianoman 70s style Well, good meeting you here sir! I have spastic diplegia, and hemiplegia which affects the right side of my body, but I can walk, praise God. As a kid, I grew up learning homosexuality's a sin too, and a social taboo, but started developing and hiding my same-sex affections in middle school. Finally taking that step and coming out myself last year has been a very brave step for me personally, but as you can imagine, I have received plenty of criticism for my confession as well, ESPECIALLY from most of my Christian friends, who state it's against the Bible. To be very honest with you sir, I am sick and tired of arguing about the issue. I just wanna hug gay people if they need a hug and a shoulder to cry on. On occasion, I go to my gay Christian friends for advice on whether I should find and date a boyfriend or not, and if my affections count as sin or not too. It's still all really confusing... Feel free to e-mail me or Facebook me, if you have an account! Hope to hear from you soon, Josh in California

Osteen is pathetic!! Grow a pair "I feel like it's a sin...but...." "I don't cover these issues" well maybe u should! How can anyone respect him, what a people pleaser, he needs to focus more on pleasing God and spreading the word than keeping the people happy. Matthew ch 7.......Osteen is definitely on the wide easy path, and he is taking many down with him! Health an wealth preachers, ridiculous!!

Joel told the Truth as best as he could. I have to admit that I am surprised he did. He normally avoids the question completely. The fact is these folks do not want to hear what he has to say. They are more interested in tearing him down for his faith. I don’t know why he feels the need to do these interviews. They have it out for him and are trying to bring him down. The word of God is not for carnal minded people and so trying to convince them for his position is futile. He needs to go back to his Church folk and preach the True Gospel of salvation to them.

I think Joel is a good man. The Bible say "For all have sinned." Gluttony, pride, immorality are all sins. He just saying what the bible says, and no more. How people live their lives is their business and no one else is worthy to judge them. Pride, in fact, is probably a greater sin then homosexuality. So as Joel said from the scriptures, "let everyone work out their own salvation." No one else can do it for them. YOU KNOW, AS I WRITE THIS, I TRULY FEEL FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE THAT I HAVE NO RIGHT TO JUDGE OR CONDEMN ANYONE, AND i SHOULD TREAT THEM AS i WOULD WANT TO BE TREATED MYSELF!

I agree. I also think they're trying to accept so many things about themselves...as if this conversation goes WAY deeper than what we are seeing. They are all in subconscious shock that they need to repent and turn towards Jesus - no matter what they're doing or how they're spending their time. It's true for all of us: repent and yes it IS devastating that we are all sinners but the good news is we are new creatures in Christ. Turn from your old ways and be new in Him. No one wants to hear that though...

Joel is terrified to speak The Truth.. He needs Jesus. What a Glory it would be to our Lord if He would open Joel's eyes and give him the ears to hear The Truth. Imagine the thousands of his followers on the wide path to destruction that might be saved if the Lord would only save Joel first. We should pray for him.

The people that go to his church do not want God... they want what God can give them. They love the prosperity religion Osteen teaches. However I believe no cause is hopeless so I will pray for all the "Christians" that are deceived. Maybe Osteen will get right w/ the Lord after the Rapture??? It would be really weird to think you were going to heaven and be left behind.

Joel Osteen is nothing but a motivational speaker. He doesn't want to step on anyone's toes. Wants to keep ppl coming back so he can make his millions! He's straddling the fence. Lukewarm folks will be spewed from God's mouth! Lukewarm folks will go to hell just the same as a sinner that hasn't been washed in the Blood.
