Do I agree with Joel Osteen's teachings? That would be a NO!

In a recent interview with Larry King found HERE, Joel and Victoria Osteen has answered a few questions from Larry. I don't agree with Joel and Victoria's teachings, mainly because they refuse to acknowledge to the sinner, that the ony way to heaven, is through accepting Jesus Chris as our savior.

Here are some parts of the interview, along with what the Bible actually states:
King: Do you think that eventually many more states are going to allow same-sex marriage?

Joel Osteen: You know, I don't know where it's all going ... I'd love to see it stay between a male and a female, not knocking anybody else.

GOD: "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God."
—1 Corinthians 6:9-10


King: Should a gay couple be allowed to adopt?

Joel Osteen: I think that, again, it's best for a male and a female. I'm not saying that gay people aren't good people. ...

King: Or good parents.

GOD: "Knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine,"
—1 Timothy 1:9-10


CLICK HERE for another interview Joel Osteen gave to Larry King in 2005.

Joel does not flat out state that whoever does not accept Jesus Christ as the Savior and repent of there sins, they will go to hell. This is why I don't believe anything that comes out of Joel's mouth, and neither do I believe that he knows who God truly is.

Romans 3:23 - "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God".
Romans 6:23 - "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord".
Romans 5:8 - But God proves his love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us.
Ephesians 2:8&9 - "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not the result of works, so that no one may boast".
John 14:6 - Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" and Acts 4:12 - "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among mortals by which we must be saved".
John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life".


I'm in no position to judge Joel, but I have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as my savior, and I do know that only through him will I see the Kingdom of Heaven one day.

It's not too late too accept God, while there's breath in your body. THE LORD IS COMING SOON.

God Bless,

Signs Jesus said would be visible prior to His return.

Deliberate deception by men of God's Word
Rise of false Christs
Increase in wars and rumors of wars
Famines, Pestilence & Earthquakes
Discrimination and hatred against Christians
Backsliding, turning from the faith, betrayal
Hatred of Christian against Christian
False Prophets and "New Age" leaders
Lawlessness abounding
Love and concern for others grows cold
Gospel preached worldwide


I shouldn't be shocked at the amount of crime going on now a days, but I am. Human beings are forgetting that Christ our God exists, and rather serve the devil and harm others, including children and babies. What has this world come to?

Deep inside I pray that Jesus returns soon. Most of us walk this earth with cold hearts, and with Satan sitting on our shoulders. We'd rather listen to the Deceiver than open the bible and listen to God's word.

Crime is at an up rise, and it's just another sign that OUR LORD IS RETURNING VERY SOON. This world will not get any better, and its sad to see that Our Creator GOD cries every time a soul chooses to serve Satan rather than he.

Listen! Killing, raping, thievery and a whole slew of other crimes I can tell you, will only land you in Hell. Is it easier to be a coward and follow the beast that Satan is, then to follow CHRIST OUR SAVIOR? What will Satan give you in the long run? Eternity in hell right by his side? Being tortured by his demons? Better yet, have you ever seen a demon face to face? Because I tell you, it is the most horrific sight anyone can ever see.

Serving God is easier. Living in heaven forever with God is a trillion times better, surrounded by pure love and good.

Repent now, before it's too late.

God Bless,

Matthew 24:7 "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes."

Another sign that our Lord Jesus Christ is right at the door.

Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. [Matthew 24:12]

Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. [Matthew 24:12]

With 5 kids, no jobs, 'better to end our lives'
In a desperate act after he and his wife were fired from their jobs, Ervin Antonio Lupoe shot her and their five children to death before killing himself, police say. "After a horrendous ordeal my wife felt it better to end our lives and why leave our children in someone else's hands," Lupoe said in a fax to a Los Angeles TV station. "We have no job and 5 children under 8 years with no place to go. So here we are." TO READ FULL STORY CLICK HERE

There has been a huge increase in wickedness. Man no longer cares for his love ones. He only cares about what he thinks is "easier" for him. But our God is a gracious God. And he will appear very soon. As a poster on the internet said, there are five more angels in heaven.

God Bless.

Group Warns Of More Attacks Against US Churches, Christians
Tuesday, January 13, 2009 (2:26 am)
By Worthy News Staff

WASHINGTON, D.C., USA (Worthy News) -- A national security organization in the United States has warned American Christians of more violent incidents against them and said churches are in most cases not prepared to deal with attacks.

"Risks are only going up for the Christian community. The US State Department now classifies faith-based organizations as one of the top five 'at risk' groups in the world today," following an apparently bloody year for Christians, said Jeffery Hawkins, executive director of the Christian Security Network (CSN) in comments monitored by Worthy News Tuesday, January 13.

His organization said already, "In recent years, gunmen have opened fire on pastors and worshipers, killing dozens on the grounds of Christian churches and ministries across the United States. Incidents of violence, arson and other emergencies occur regularly in Christian organizations."

Last year, CSN noted that a Cincinnati pastor was killed while attending a funeral. Also, "Governor Sarah Palin's church was torched in Alaska, a Christian radio station was attacked by a crazed gunman in Pennsylvania [and] a church shooting in Knoxville, Tennessee, sent ripples of fear through the Christian community nationwide."

Hawkins, a security expert, was reportedly earlier involved in protection issues with so-called 'White House Advance Teams' under Presidents Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, investigated for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and coordinated security for politicians, foreign officials, and security agencies.

"He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead." Revelation 13:16

“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:16,17

I was reading a very good article, which I can agree with totally. To read CLICK HERE

Whether the mark of the beast turns out to be a simple tattoo, or a computerized implant such as Digital Angel or Verichip, Satan will try and force everyone rich and poor to take it.

The mark of the beast will be placed on a person's forehead or right hand.

This is going to happen sooner than you think. And I pray to God, that those that do stay for the tribulation-stand strong against Satan and resist his mark. If you do get Satan's mark, there will be no turning back. You will suffer the wrath of God. THERE IS NO TURNING BACK. Hell is eternal. Many people think when you die that is it. THAT IS A LIE. Hell is what await those, that take the mark of the beast. Hell is what await those, that die without accepting CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR.

Luke 21:23. “But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that nurse children in those days! For there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.”

CHRIST is speaking about the days of Tribulation. Never before on earth, will there be a time of such distress. People will blame God for it. But I pray that you see Our Lord is not at fault. That it is Satan who will appear as the man who'll save all, and in reality he'll be the THE DESTRUCTIVE MURDERER.

Open your eyes. Look around. the signs are there. And if you don't believe me, fall to your knees, pray to God and pick up the bible. Open your heart to him.

Then you shall believe.

God Bless.
