[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Osteen brought just 1 person closer to God, he did more than most of you all on here.  Regardless of how rich he is.[/quote]

You need to read your Bible. Start with a word search for “false prophets.”[/quote]

He is not a prophet.

Many figures in the Bible were not perfect.  But they served God's purposes. [/quote]

Does Osteen claim to be a prophet? I have never heard that claim.

Basically religious people can’t win. If you want to attend a church that isn’t “bigoted” and isn’t evangelical/fundamental, and go Christianity-lite like Osteen, you are still “a mark” and “stupid.”

Christians need to not worry about what others say and worship as they please. People who hate religion will always find fault with religion, no matter how many hoops you jump through to make your worship acceptable to them. It’s ludicrous.

I started this conversation anti-Osteen, and I won’t listen to him, but those that do, good for you. I hope listening to Osteen and buying his books makes you happy. Don’t be ashamed or hide how you worship, or who you listen to, etc. [/quote]

Are the people criticizing him "[p]eople who hate religion" or they are other Christians, because that matters. It's easy to defend him if you frame criticism of him as being something done by people who are going to criticize all religion, but lots of Christians think his message is wrong too. Meanwhile "I hope this preacher makes you happy" isn't a reliable way to find people who will guide you to God, which is why the Bible warns about false prophets.[/quote]
