SUPER FUNNY UPDATE ON JOEL OSTEEN: Check out Joel Osteen’s super scammy books he sells on Amazon (24!!!) including his self help BS book
and his hilarious book on “Wise Choices”. If only he’d follow his own advice!
LOL! For all you Joel Osteen fanboys – remember he just cynically feeds on you to make money so he can live his fancy lifestyle. He couldn’t care less about you in reality.
Popular televangelist preacher Joel Osteen has been named the “Most Influential Christian in America” in 2006 by the Church Report, was one of
Barbara Walters, “10 Most Fascinating People of 2006 and operates an extraordinarily profitable religious scam operation that probably will one day end in scandal.
So who is this guy who has appeared on 60 Minutes, Larry King Live and has his own television shows?
Who is this guy who thinks he can share the mighty name of Joel?
Joel Osteen has not yet had major sex scandals, drug scandals or molestation scandals like the other megachurch pastors: Pat Robertson, Al Sharpton, Ted Haggard, Paul Barnes, D.E. (Earl) Paulk, Jimmy Swaggert, Jim Bakker, William Dodd and too many others to possibly mention here. What Joel Osteen DOESN’T do is the real question.
In his sermons, Joel Osteen does not talk about God. Joel Osteen instead talks about almost everything except God. He has a television ministry, a massive church, $43 million a year in tithes and another $36 million a year in mailed in donations, but he won’t talk about God. He, like Pastor Kevin Gerald, talks about more pleasant topics, such as donating money to him and positive thinking. He has written two books, the second of which sold 3 million copies, but his books don’t really talk about God either. It’s just his bland and boring advice on how to live a happy life that has been thought of by other people first, “Think positively about yourself” and other such drivel.
What does Joel Osteen say when people ask him about why he does not discuss God or Jesus Christ or sin or what you need to do to go to Heaven? “That’s not my gift.” What are you doing being a freaking megachurch pastor then, bonehead?!
If you are going to try to operate a religious scam, at least make it religious! I actually think that Joel Osteen operating a secular “Christian” church is more of a scandal than Ted Haggard and his transsexual prostitutes and meth! (Though not nearly as funny of a scandal).
Joel Osteen didn’t even found his megachurch; instead the business was handed down to him by his father. When Joel Osteen became the head pastor of his church, he had only preached ONE sermon in his entire life- and that was the week before. Joel Osteen does not have any training in the Bible (seminary, degrees, etc.), which is probably why he doesn’t want to talk about it much.
My loyal readers have pointed out to me many times that the ridiculous actions of leaders in religion do not invalidate their beliefs. They are absolutely correct on this. However, there has never been anything that VALIDATES their beliefs either. The Flying Spaghetti Monster has the same amount of evidence on his side as most other gods. Here is another question I put to you: Please find me a single megachurch pastor who is NOT a scam-running, meth-eating, prostitute-abusing criminal. Anyone?
Update March 3, 2008 on JOEL OSTEEN:
Many people have been discussing Joel Osteen in the comments and making statements about his beliefs, behavior and preaching methods that show a distinct lack of understanding of his profit driven motives. Below I have added a video of Joel Osteen on Larry King Live where he dances around the core question of the Christian faith: What does it take to get to heaven? Joel Osteen hems and haws and won’t even say that people of different religions won’t make it to heaven.
The partial transcript for Joel Osteen’s interview with Larry King is below. I have basically pulled out the most pertinent excerpts to the point I have tried to make on televangelist Joel Osteen.
Televangelist Joel Osteen Discusses Christianity with Larry King
First is Larry King’s impressive introduction of Joel Osteen:
LARRY KING, CNN HOST: Tonight, Joel Osteen, evangelism’s hottest rising star, pastor for the biggest congregation in the United States… Pastor Joel Osteen is here for the hour…. Joel Osteen is the author of the number one “New York Times” best-seller, “Your Best Life Now.” There you see its cover. “Seven Steps to Living at Your Full Potential.” There is now a compendium been published called “Your Best Life Now Journal,” a guide to reaching that full potential. Joel Osteen is pastor of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas. His father before him. He has been called the smiling preacher.
Larry King knows Joel Osteen Ministries is huge and tries to play nice with him throughout the interview.
KING: Why are you a preacher?
JOEL OSTEEN: You know, I never was for 17 years. I worked with my dad there at the church. He tried to get me to minister. I didn’t have it in me. I worked behind the scenes. I loved doing production and things. But when my father died, I just knew — I don’t know how to explain it, it sounds kind of odd, but I just knew down to here I was supposed to step up to the plate and pastor the church. And it was odd because I had never preached before. But I just knew I was supposed to do it.
Hmmm… either God gave him the “calling” or he was scared of losing his father’s multi-million dollar preaching business.
KING: But don’t you think if people don’t believe as you believe, they’re somehow condemned?
JOEL OSTEEN: You know, I think that happens in our society. But I try not to do that. I tell people all the time, preached a couple Sundays about it. I’m for everybody. You may not agree with me, but to me it’s not my job to try to straighten everybody out. The Gospel called the good news. My message is a message of hope, that’s God’s for you. You can live a good life no matter what’s happened to you. And so I don’t know. I know there is condemnation but I don’t feel that’s my place.
Joel Osteen comes right out and says that he will refuse to condemn sinners. He is too afraid, it’s not his place, he just wants to spew bland niceties… hmmm.
LARRY KING: Where were you ordained? OSTEEN: I was ordained from the church there, Lakewood, under my dad’s ministry.
LARRY KING: So you didn’t go to seminary?
JOEL OSTEEN: No, sir, I didn’t.
LARRY KING: They can just make you a minister?
JOEL OSTEEN: You can, you can.
Wow. Joel Osteen never even attended Bible school or classes for future preachers. No wonder he is so clueless about Biblical theology.
LARRY KING: Is it hard to lead a Christian life?
JOEL OSTEEN: I don’t think it’s that hard. To me it’s fun. We have joy and happiness. Our family — I don’t feel like that at all. I’m not trying to follow a set of rules and stuff. I’m just living my life.
LARRY KING: But you have rules, don’t you?
JOEL OSTEEN: We do have rules. But the main rule to me is to honor God with your life. To life a life of integrity. Not be selfish. You know, help others. But that’s really the essence of the Christian faith.
Of course its not hard for Joel Osteen to lead a Christian life. BECAUSE HE’S NOT!!!
LARRY KING: What if you’re Jewish or Muslim, you don’t accept Christ at all?
JOEL OSTEEN: You know, I’m very careful about saying who would and wouldn’t go to heaven. I don’t know …
LARRY KING: If you believe you have to believe in Christ? They’re wrong, aren’t they?
JOEL OSTEEN: Well, I don’t know if I believe they’re wrong. I believe here’s what the Bible teaches and from the Christian faith this is what I believe. But I just think that only God with judge a person’s heart. I spent a lot of time in India with my father. I don’t know all about their religion. But I know they love God. And I don’t know. I’ve seen their sincerity. So I don’t know. I know for me, and what the Bible teaches, I want to have a relationship with Jesus.
The last exchange between Larry King and Joel Osteen hits the nail on the head of everything that is wrong with the Joel Osteen Ministry. All it is is fluff. He can’t even defend the single core belief of Christianity- that a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is a requirement to gain access to Heaven.
Below is more Joel Osteen preaching videos. Joel Osteen preaches on cheesy, transparent topics that have nothing to do with the Bible. He twists scripture around to serve his own purposes of mass produced drivel. My question to Joel Osteen is where in the Bible does it say Christians have a “right to total victory” over physical pain, financial problems and other issues? Did he completely miss the book of Job or the trials and tribulations that the early Christians had to suffer under the Romans? I don’t think that Joel Osteen has ever even read the Bible.
DO NOT LET JOEL OSTEEN CONTINUE TO GET AWAY WITH HIS BIBLE-CONTRADICTING, POLITICALLY CORRECT AND PROFIT SEEKING DRIVEL! JOEL OSTEEN’S SCANDAL IS OUTRAGEOUS!
Jesus once went into a temple and threw out currency traders and salespeople…. WHO WILL THROW THE SCANDAL CREATING JOEL OSTEEN OUT OF GOD’S ASTRODOME TEMPLE?
Further discussion: Joel Osteen megachurch building – Joel Osteen paid the city of Houston $90,000,000 to remodel the former home of NBA team Houston Rockets and an additional $14,000,000 to lease the building for 30 years. Preacher Joel Osteen’s megachurch does not even own the building! Pastor Joel Osteen doesn’t care though- he’ll be dead by then and this church is all about him. The most interesting thing about the new church is that there is not a SINGLE cross in the whole building! Want to know why? Joel Osteen says that he wants to remove all “stumbling blocks” from the way of people coming to his church and being comfortable. Since when has Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross been a STUMBLING BLOCK for faith?! The scandal here is that the Joel Osteen is doing and saying blasphemous things… and no one is calling him out on it. The pastor of the largest church in America won’t even follow the basic tenets of Christianity!

Joel Osteen is unable to even keep his own family under control. Pastor Joel Olsteen’s wife, Victoria Osteen, has been fined $3,000 and is being sued for assaulting a flight attendant on her first-class trip to the playground of the rich and famous Vail, Colorado.
Bible Verses that Condemn Megachurch Pastor Joel Osteen
I have had quite a few people post in the comments asking what does it really matter what Joel Osteen believes if he’s helping people? If Joel Osteen teaches nice things, isn’t it okay for him to be a Christian pastor? I understand that my opinions of right and wrong should not sway you, but I ask you to consider what the Bible says on the matter. First, let’s take the Bible verses that are the standard definition of who is a Christian:
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 (NIV)
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23 (NIV)
For the wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23 (NIV)
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faithand this not from yourselves, it is the gift of Godnot by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV)
To summarize, the only way to be saved and go to heaven is by the grace of Jesus and by faith in God. These are the basic verses that every Christian who has accepted Christ knows. Now for the verses that clearly state that only Christians who believe the above will go to Heaven:
-John 3:3: no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.
-John 3:15: everyone who believes in him [Jesus] may have eternal life.
-John 3:18: whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of Gods one and only Son.
-John 14:6: Jesus answered: No one comes to the Father except through me
-Acts 3:23: And it shall be, that every soul that shall not hearken to that prophet, shall be utterly destroyed from among the people. (ASV)
-Acts 4:12: Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved
-Romans 10:9: Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved
-Hebrews 9:28: he [Christ] will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him
-1 John 5:12: he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
The nine quoted verses above clearly state that only Christians can go to Heaven. Now, if Joel Osteen truly believed and was a pastor of a Bible-based church, would he preach a false message of hope to people? Joel Osteen is essentially subverting the word of God, which motivated me to write this post. I am not sure why Joel would do this, but my postulation (as above) is that he is doing it for financial gain. Joel Osteens father was a pastor and he has been a pastor for a long time now and he should know better than most people the MOST basic tenets of Christianity. Ignorance is an excuse for new Christians (as long as they work at it), but not for a shepherd of the flock.
Do you know what the Bible says about false teachers like Joel Osteen?
-2 Timothy 4:3,4 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth , and be turned aside to fables.
-Matthew 7:15,16 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheeps clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits.
-Acts 20:29-31 For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves . Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears.
-2 Peter 2:1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
-2 Peter 3:16,17 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures. You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked;
-Colossians 2:8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.
-Hebrews 13:9 Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established by grace, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them.
The Bible is very, very harsh in its condemnation of people who change, twist or leave out parts of its doctrine. False leaders (Joel Osteen), to me, are more disgusting than someone who is a hypocrite (Ted Haggard).
For more information on mega church pastor Joel Osteen you can search Google with the terms joelosteen.com or joel osteen.com to find the man’s website. You could also use terms such as Joel Osteen Website or Joel Osteen Lakewood Church for other sorts of information on him.
Why do I care what Joel Osteen does or doesnt do in his church, especially seeing that I am not religious? People who are cheats, fakes, and phonies really bother me. I have written quite a few other posts on various community leaders who lead people astray for their own personal gain. My tax dollars go to support Joel Osteen (every church in America is exempt from taxes, but Joel Osteen is making millions tax-free teaching his Prosperity Message when he is basically just another self-help guru). I also am very wary of megachurch pastors (I used to attend one and have seen many on television)- they often seem to be some of the craziest people (Jim Jones-Want some Kool Aid?)
Joel Olsteen is helping millions to improve their way of life through the name of the lord. Times are changing and the prehistorical method of sending the lord’s message is outdated. He has found a new method of reaching disturbed souls. Shame on you…
You must obviously never have listened to an entire message of Joel’s or you wouldn’t be saying what you’re saying. He talks about God all the time, quotes scriptures. I don’t know if you’re just jealous of his ministry or have nothing better to do with your life than to attack someone who is helping so many daily.
You say his messages are superficial? Do you not realize how important it is to know that there is a source for a positive interpretation of the Word. It isn’t the only important interpretation of course, but to know that Joel is there to inspire the best in us, is valuable and needed in this sorry world.
Actually, you sound like you could use a bit of his messages yourself. You sound bitter and cynical and like you need prayer to heal some part of you that you’re projecting outward. Where, in this entire article did you mention the Lord or quote scriptures to uplift anyone. All you’re doing is tearing someone down. And he won’t be torn down.
Be careful that your judgement doesn’t turn against you. I’m not saying this threatening but to try to help you. Touch not God’s annointed. Now there’s a scripture you might meditate on.
Sincerely
Ursula Prezwicki
I only have one question; If you are a Christian & disagree with his preaching, then why are you condemning him, judging, I don’t know “outing” him? Why is it so important that you sway people from his preaching, I don’t think God would want you to do this. Especially someone, who I am assuming is you, in the word & a Christian. The fact that he is attempting to spread the word, be as it may not completely accurate, I think that’s alot more than others are doin. Sure maybe he has an agenda, but that for God to take care of. No one is perfect & I am sure that some of what Mr Olsteen preaches is not correct but that is for God to Decide. If you disagree with his way of Preaching, then follow another Preacher & pray for either Mr Olsteen to; I don’t know, Preach correctly or his followers to find another, how about just ask to take care of it – I am sure God knows what he is doing and he will take care of it. Doesn’t everything happen for a reason, don’t you trust God to deal with any situation?
Oh by the way, I was searching for his website because I just saw one of his sermons, and I was touched. I have been a Christian all of my life, and I have back slide alot. But I always have the Lord in my heart. I think I know the Bible some what, sure I can learn more who can’t but his sermon that I watched, well it touched me. He spoke about God, there was alot in there that was true, he didn’t seem at all ignorant, if you would say to the Word. Infact, he gave the opportunity to accept Christa as your Savior, so are your theory of not Preaching or talking about God, well your in correct. Anyhow I just wanted you to know that I am someone that is lost as many out there & I was not only satisfied with his sermon, and unbelievably touched. But I infact think that I am going to go back to Church and attempt to get back my relationship with the Lord, that I would have to Thank Joel Olsteen for, oh & I haven’t even given an offering or tithe, so I guess there goes the Profit seeking scandal they. You know what if he get s some to the Lord verses all, how ever he is doing, More Power to him, God Bless him, and I am sure the Lord is happy, because he has to be doing something right. Amen
After reading your site I am struck by the level of anger oozing out your words. You have put so much time and effort into nurturing the rage screaming on your site…as a mother it is very sad to see such talent and intelligence consumed.
You asked a lot of questions on your site; but I think the more important question to ask would be “Where is all of this leading you emotionally?” “Is there any good, happy, fulfilled or balanced for all of this to land?”
I was sincerely moved by concern; your obvious talent and passion should, and I pray, will lead you down a more positive path that will lead to peace within.
I am not being pious or religious when I say; I will be praying that you will realize and live the great destiny and purpose that is obviously in you.
If this message makes you angry; please do not send negative messages to me, I wrote from a genuine place of concern.
Take Care of yourself and your destiny;
Demetria
Wow, I was really touched. I appreciate the fact that you are not willing to just go along to get along. You are right, this thing is not all about good health and prosperity. Jesus said we would know him in the fellowship of his SUFFERINGS!! That’s our problem many times we don’t want to do the needed suffering but if you are Bible based you know ALL THINGS work together for the good and not just the good things. I am going through several trials right now but I thank Jesus every day for them because they are truly for my good. Look in your Bible people, Job, David, Paul, Silas, Peter, and the list goes on and on. That’s the list I want to be on not some NAME IT CLAIM IT AND BLAB IT GRAB IT!! My goal is to serve Jesus and not my own self comfort there will be plenty of time for that in eternity :o). Hey JoelX I would love to chit chat with you because I do believe I know of some awesome REAL men of God and I would love to get you aquainted with them.
Dear all,
I would like to kindly a question regarding to a comment from Joel Osteen when Larry asked him about:

CNN LARRY KING LIVE
Interview with Joel & Victoria Osteen
Aired December 8, 2008 – 21:00 ET
THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
— Cut here —–
KING: What do you do when you get down?
J. OSTEEN: When I get down, I try to — I try to get back in perspective. I try to find something to be grateful for. You know, if I don’t feel like going through the day or I’ve got a lot of problems or people are criticizing and things like that, I think, well, you know what, let me just get back and go look at my kids and take — you know, Lord, thank you that they’re healthy. Thank you for my wife. I find something to be grateful for.
The second thing, Larry, I think is important when we’re down, is try to go do something for somebody else. It’s amazing how it’ll change your perspective, because somebody’s got it worse than you. You may not have money to give, but you can go, you know, encourage somebody or bake them a cake or baby-sit their children, volunteer at the hospital.
But there’s something happens when we get outside of ourselves, you know?

I was quite supprised when Joel Osteen answered the question :

BEEN WATCHING JOEL OLSTEEN FOREVER, HAVE HIS BOOKS, WOULD NOT MISS HIS PROGRAM….WATCH IT TWICE ON SUNDAY….HE IS A WONDERFUL . KEEP DIGGING PEOPLE, YOUJ WONT FIND A THING WRONG WITH HIM OR HIS WIFE. IT IS A WONDERFUL THING TO HAVE SOME ONE LIKE HIM SPEEKING TO US IN THIS MESS OF A WORLD WE LIVE IN NOW…WITH KILLING, ETC. HE IS WONDERFUL. WE LOVE HIM
To the critic(s) of Joel Osteen i leave you with these words “THOU SHALL NOT JUDGE….GOD IS THE ULTIMATE JUDGE” …..these among others are the reasons why neither Joel nor I, being christians will not judge other people’s faith or religion….all we will do is preach the good new to them, pray for them and leave the rest to God.
You’re just jealous of his sucess!.. He is helping millions of people in a difficult world and God is working through him! There will always be critics like you of great men.
I think that Joel is a wonderful pastor. I am a christian and I left the church 2 yars ago. I hate this but I did. It has nothing to do with Jesus. I love my Heavenly Father. When I was divorced by my husband I could no longer be a Sunday school teacher because I was setting a bad example. Ministers and lots of christian brothers and sisters looked down at me. I was treated like an outsider. I hung in there for a long time but things went from bad to worse(without telling all the details). I walked out of the church and stayed at home and listened to the tv on Sundays. There,I came upon Joel and I think that if I was to attend Lakewood I don’t think that he would treat me like I have a contagious disease. I like the way he brings so much life from the scriptures and how positive he is. Because we know how negative the world is all around us.
“Word Faith” and “Prosperity Gospel” Theology are wobbly premises, solidly rebutted by plenty of mainstream theologians.. the base audience of Osteen and others seeks to uplift the premise that only the perfectly faithful will be rewarded with material wealth, and only the righteous will have power and influence.. Osteen & his top lieutenants have material wealth, power and influence– Ergo, they ‘must’ be perfectly faithful and righteous.. A classic logical fallacy if there ever was one..
Jimmy Carter is a far better representative of Evangelical Christianity than the history of the Televangelist culture..
hey joel x how come you never say anything about everyone that post here I left you a message and you don’t answer
ohhhhh i guess you have nothing to say about my post
so typical you write whatever you want but the minute your question about your opinion you have nothing to say !!!!!!
COWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One simple question, and it’s not just for Joel or anyone else. But, who said Joel or anyone else has to fit a certain “mold”. If he wants to preach “Micky Mouse loves you!” so what! Joel doesn’t scare me as much as most preachers do. He uses “his” gift to lift people up, in his own style, his own way. While others preach fire and brim stone and are no different than the a-holes for generations before them. As I have read the Bible, Jesus himself was the most motivational speaker I’ve read about to date, and Joel is not Jesus, Joel is Joel. Why don’t you wish him well, do some good for folks you can reach, motivating them, not telling them how to get to heaven or hell (until you get there yourself) then take the plank out of your own eye and then, just maybe, you can take the speck out of Joel’s. The dude doesn’t have to preach Jesus or God, he can preach any thing he wants jerk, and that’s what makes America the greatest nation on earth. . . . . freedom of speech and opinion. Try love man, isn’t that what God is??? And Joel should be paid for what he does, he works his ass off trying to change people’s hearts from judging idiot’s like you. I’m more afraid of the RC Church, The Baptists, Penticostals, Evangelicals and “experts on Religion” then I am of Joel. He is helping people be all that God made them to be and is that so bad???? You preach your style and let Joel preach his style. We wish he and you and all of God’s people well. Listen, buddy. . . . you, I, Joel and your mamma were put here to bless everyone we meet with the gifts we have been given. You bless others with your gift, I with mine and Joel et. als. with theirs. Complicated? For a-holes yeh! They just don’t get it, Jesus called them “snakes and vipers” translated “a-holes”. Listen, it takes a kid to get it, because they are simple, uncomplicated and in need of validation and Joel is validating people like you who think little of others and think highly of themselves. Think I’m wrong? Then why did you plant a seed of curse on Joel saying he will fail. If he makes millions, “Good for him!” We need more people like him in the world.
what do you have to say about marty joel x ?
marty right on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
your my hero!!!!!!!!!
Marty the things osteen teaches is`nt much better than micky mouse teachings, the very idea of osteen to say on the king show he did`nt know if people were wrong for not believing on JESUS……….you supporters of osteen have rocks for brains, yes mental midget you have to believe on JESUS JESUS JESUS TO BE SAVED, i would`nt sit under any teacher that taught different, GOD HELP US ALL, and help the people that buy into this teaching twice.
The most obvious thing here about Joel Is he is called of God. (TOUCH NOT GODS ANOINTED)
Warning to those who touch Gods anointed, I rebuke you who judge him
he operates in his gifting to exhort the body of Christ its no wonder he has the largest Church in the United States. People need to hear a message of Hope in a dying world, look at all the crime, 911 ect..
Joel used great wisdom to answer Larry king Live. I see a pure man at heart here. He take no money from the people who give, he lives off his own books and sales! How many of you are greedy! He does not have to answer to man. God looks upon the heart of man, and when he looks at Joel he finds no wrong! I can see you have no understanding of the gifts and calling of God. Joel operates in his gifting and remains true to the calling all these years. He made no comment of salvation of other lives because God is in Control not man, (Thank God) because Im sure will be surprise by who actually make it to heaven!
barbara you have so much knowledge, not everyone is annointed just cas they are a preacher, you mentioned a big church, hell will be a big place also, explain to us lesser likes why joel told king he did`nt know if people were wrong for not beleiving on JESUS…..who do you have to believe on then barb? joel seems like a nice person, but preacher i think not, anyone who says they don`t know if people are wrong for not believing on JESUS, i turn them off immeadiately, end of story…
Alot of people are gonna be real easy pickings for the man of sin (antichrist) b/c they don`t know what the BIBLE says, they just listen to what someone tells them, then they run with it…..i`m told they even have an elvis impersonator, why would any church have someone impersonate a drug king who died on his bathroom floor, not on a throwne, elvis could have reached alot of people with the gospell, but he played for the wrong side, i live right by his house and knew alot of the people, it was said that when played memphis in 1977 he would quit rock and roll and sing only gospell, join the Lords team, but he never got the chance, that`s why GOD says this is the day, this is the appointed time, so sometime we don`t get to bargain with GOD, i`m anything but perfect, but i know what the word of GOD means. elvis was a beautiful man and could have reached alot of people with his charm, he was very funny and could make anyone laugh….some people even said when he died that he would return in 10 years, well that was 22 years ago and he has`nt made it back yet.harry houdini told his wife if there was any possible way out of this thing (death) he would surely find it, his wife kept a candle light vigil for 10 years, after 10 years she silenced the candles and never lit them again, harry did`nt make it back either, only the mightly man of galilee had that power, we call him KING JESUS,KING OF KING AND LORD OF LORDS, AND THERE IS NO OTHER……..
