[quote=Anonymous]Joel Osteen is the kind of leader that scripture warns of, because he never says anything that makes you reflect on your actual sins to be repentant to your Creator. His flowery language gives you a boost of self esteem (which is not a bad thing) if he actually took the time to preach from the entire Bible instead of using one scripture and fillerbustering the rest of the sermon.

He never gets to the meat of scripture and instead provides people with the milk for infants. Many of his congregants never actually read or study the Bible for themselves except on Sunday and just maybe Bible class on Wednesday.

For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. (2 Timothy 4:3)

Then the LORD said to me, “The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds.  Jeremiah 14:14

15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.(Matthew 7:15-20)
