Why I am NOT suing Joel Osteen - Final update on my copyright strike and a personal message to Joel.

I plan to post a very edited version of the Joel Osteen review video in about 3 months. It will only use a small portion of his original video and it will be uploaded after my copyright strike has faded off my record with KZfaq. The edited down version will just consist of every time that Joel quoted the Bible. Unfortunately, he distorted the meaning of the Bible every time, except once, in the "Let it Go" sermon.

As a lawyer, I think you did the right thing. Litigation is so draining and would absolutely distract you from the great work that you are doing with this channel. You will be more effective for Christ by continuing to produce content than you would by pursuing a lawsuit.

Such a mature and godly response from a mature and godly brother in Christ. Great job Mike! Very well handled.

Mike, I'm a lawyer who teaches copyright at my Christian university, and I think the 70-80% guess is about right. I might be even more confident. Regardless, we talked about this situation in the Communication Law class last semester as a hypothetical for my students to consider. You've done the spiritually mature thing here, though, based on 1 Corinthians, and I appreciate it. Big fan. Keep it up.

You lost me when you said that Joel Osteen is a brother.

I have a relative who was experiencing depression. She saw Joel on TV. She said Osteen "positive" messages brought her up out of the darkness. Now, she then came to church, accepted Jesus, she stopped listening to Osteen, was water baptized, and no longer follows him.

if he would just preach the Gospel instead of worshipping money, none of this stuff would’ve happened to begin with. PREACH. THE. GOSPEL. JOEL.

When you said this would be bad for the Kingdom of Christ, I was folding laundry listening to this and out loud I yelled YES! I know you’re not perfect, no one is, but I cannot tell you how much I appreciate what a good person you’re being about this situation. That cannot be said for all parties involved. Listen, please please please never stop being you!!!

I can’t believe their ministry is even doing such a thing. It so anti biblical, seems like more of a business than a ministry at this point. Trying to not have their “image” hurt and gain monetary compensation at the same time. Can’t see the Christ centered values in how they handle things.

Bringing a copyright strike against a fellow Christian acting in good faith says all I need to know about Osteen, even if I had never watched a single one of his motivational speeches (they are not sermons).

Osteen doesn't want to jeopardize his empire by teaching the gospel.

"Err on the side of grace", you're a good man Mike and a wonderful teacher and role model too. I hope Joel hears you message.

I’m going through a divorce that my non-believer wife initiated. She left the faith and was unfaithful. I confess that I am angry still. But, your example in this has spoken to my heart. Truth, with love. Seek justice, love mercy, walk humbly with your God.

WOW! that was handled with such grace and humility, Mike. I think your message here to Joel is one that we all need to hear about how we handle the entirety of what Jesus did for us. thank you.

Mike, I'm so pleased with the way you handle difficult issues, and how to relate to brothers and sisters who are not walking the line as they should. You set a Christ-like example of how we should treat fellow believers, and even professing believers. Thank you for that, and keep up the great work!

Beautiful. You explained this so eloquently and may it bring conviction to Joel. He needs to hear this 💕

This was very well said. I just had a discussion with a friend about Joel. He thought, I along with many God fearing people, do not watch Joel because we're jealous of him. No no no Joel can keep all that he has as I would not want the wrath God will have. It was wonderful to be able to share this with my friend. We need to continue praying for Joel.

The first thing they wanted was ad revenue? That says everything right there! I was looking for this video the other day and wondered where it went.

Well done Pastor Mike. I believe that you heart is definitely in the right place, and that your intentions are not to mock or humiliate, as we see so often, but to lovingly reach out to a fellow brother in Christ. God bless you sir.
