This is group teaches community ism and not the gospel of Jesus Christ. At the root of it all is the self help and God wants you to be happy theology. It is simply an adaptation of the social gospel that has ruined the modern denominational churches. The do good and God will receive you teaching of the blood of Christ is too awful to be accepted by the modern progressive thinkers of today.
2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

Heresy is any belief or theory that is strongly at variance with established beliefs or customs. A heretic is a proponent of such claims or beliefs.[SUP][1][/SUP] Heresy is distinct from both apostasy, which is the explicit renunciation of one's religion, principles or cause,[SUP][2][/SUP] and blasphemy, which is an impious utterance or action concerning God or sacred things.[SUP][3][/SUP]
The term is usually used to refer to violations of important religious teachings, but is used also of views strongly opposed to any generally accepted ideas.[SUP][4][/SUP] It is used in particular in reference to Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.[SUP][5]
after reading around the forums, I'm pretty sure it's run over with heretics and I might be one [/SUP]
and hello to everyone

I still feel like I am new here.
What some people fail to grasp is that "our best life now" is exactly what Jesus said, in many places, that He came to introduce us to......... "Exceedingly above and more abundantly than anything we can imagine" is the life He brought to us here and now.
Too many people dig in their heels, and insist that they are meant to suffer and live a miserable existence here until, FINALLY, one day they will be transported to Kolob, or whatever other planet they think they will be housed on. And they are determined to try and see that everyone else is just as miserable as they have decided to be.
I don't think this is "The Joy of The Lord" the Bible speaks of.

Sure thing...not.
Joh 15:20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
1Pe 4:14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
Our hope and our joy is not here but in eternity with Christ.

I think MacArthur says some very good things but his stand on tongues is very divisive to say the least. I know alot of people like him and he is a good speaker, but he really went too far with that remark I'm thinking.
I don't know if Joel Osteen is ashamed or not. How do you figure if he is ashamed if he stands up every Sunday and talks about salvation?
I don't understand that.
As far as having a best life now, isn't that what Christians are having or should be having? That does not mean no trials or hardships either. I don't have the collective works of Osteen, so I don't know.
It's easy for any pastor to stand before people & preach a feel good message. Idk how many interviews I've seen when he's ask basic questions they would cover in sunday school & he says "ehhh yea I don't like talking about that stuff. When asked about other religions instead of proclaiming Chrst is the only way he says "ehhh I don't want to condemn anyone" He has homosexuals at his church & doesn't teach them to repent & turn from that lifestyle.
The scriptures is not all about cute & cuddly feel good messages. It also tells about judgement in which everyone will face. Judgement makes Joel uncomfortable. Talking about sin makes him uncomfortable. People in Jesus day thought he was a harsh speaker, Jesus wasn't concerned about tickling peoples ears only telling the truth.

You have been drinking the new age kool-aid again.
Joh 4:32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
It's not speaking of joy resulting from earthly pleasures. Which is what the feel good gospel is all about. Have you ever been reproached for the name of Christ?

So, those that have spoken against Osteen - that means you have been to his services many times and first hand have heard him say all these things. For example - it's ok to live the homosexual lifestyle?
I hope us "good Christians" know that lying, malice and slander are just as much a work of the flesh as living the homosexual lifestyle is.
