Joel Osteen and the Happiness Gospel

[Never]

Joel and Victoria Osteen are heretics.  Their prosperity gospel is no gospel at all and cannot bear the weight of the true gospel of Jesus Christ.  The word "sin" is even banned from Lakewood church.  I will go so far as to call them false teachers.  I am not going to question their personal salvation as that's not my place to judge, but their message is not a good one and can lead someone astray pretty rapidly.

I agree

I agree with Bushie too. What the Osteens believe flies in the face of what the Bible teaches about suffering in the book of Job and Psalms 22, the latter of which was quoted in part by Jesus during his crucifixion. Joel and Victoria would be well served to evaluate their unsound views.

Every time I see this I can't help but think about the Crucifixion.

You know, when I first saw that book, I thought, "Why not every day a Sunday or something?" Anyhow, he does look unnerving on that cover.
