Joel osteen not opening church to flood victims
IF TRUE, does this bother you guys as much as it does me? Forgive me but I've always doubt his sincerity as well as didn't think much of his seldom reading from the scriptures/Bible or quoting Christ in his sermons (Just a health and wealth type of preacher).
:argue: Good grief!!

Re: Joel osteen not opening church to flood victims
I've never been a fan of Olsteen and in general not a big fan of megachurches with really high profile pastors. I have heard that there were safety concerns for people getting to the building or people staying in the building and that is why they are not letting people shelter there. If there are not legitimate reasons for keeping people out though this is the epitome of slimy.
Re: Joel osteen not opening church to flood victims
Osteen is a con-artist/cult leader and gives preachers and Christians in general a bad image...

I will give them the benefit of the doubt until someone can show me different. They have now actually said as shelters fill they will provide shelter. I saw they were also doing other things to help out- please, slam away when you know something, but until you do, just don't. I am sick of seeing this crap on FB by people sitting at the computer that have no idea what is going on!

John Oliver did a good video about those types of televangelists. When he's not obnoxiously going after Trump, his show does some great research and brings some very concerning stuff to light, one example being how these televangelists work.

Prosperity gospel. Almost nothing he says is theologically accurate. DFM is spot on.

I totally agree- but still, do you know what he has done for Houston and it's people during the storm? I can't believe he found anyone to sit in the congregation myself, but we don't know what he is or isn't doing here. I hope he is actually spending some of that ill gotten money to help the people.

I have no idea. And it doesn't really have any influence on my thoughts about him.
