uhhh what?!So here we have a self professed prophet, with God himself speaking through him... must be a marvelous experience.
Except he lied to these kids; he said if he was wrong, he was condemned as a false prophet. He would suffer greater judgment for false preaching. He knows that isn't true. He knows God is does not punish. He has never been punished by God in his life and he knows it so he can say anything.
Yeah... whatever...uhhh what?!
The Bible is clear that false teachers will be punished...read Jude.
If you call retiring in the south of France or becoming stinkin' rich a punishment...Who says they didn't get punished? Again the Bible itself says that false teachers WILL be punished.....

Jud 1:4 For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
Mat 5:19 "Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
2Pe 2:1 But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves.
2Pe 2:2 Many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned;
2Pe 2:3 and in their greed they will exploit you with false words; their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
We really have no idea what God has brought against them, or exactly what He will bring against them..but destruction.If you call retiring in the south of France or becoming stinkin' rich a punishment...
You can always hope for that I guess... but since they don't believe in it, they don't care... they just keep getting fat and happy rippin' off the suckers...We really have no idea what God has brought against them, or exactly what He will bring against them..but destruction.
He's a false teacher and denied Jesus to millions on Larry King Live.
KING: What if you're Jewish or Muslim, you don't accept Christ at all?
OSTEEN: You know, I'm very careful about saying who would and wouldn't go to heaven. I don't know ...
KING: If you believe you have to believe in Christ? They're wrong, aren't they?
OSTEEN: Well, I don't know if I believe they're wrong. I believe here's what the Bible teaches and from the Christian faith this is what I believe. But I just think that only God with judge a person's heart. I spent a lot of time in India with my father. I don't know all about their religion. But I know they love God. And I don't know. I've seen their sincerity. So I don't know. I know for me, and what the Bible teaches, I want to have a relationship with Jesus.

except that he's wrong. Jesus tells us that He is the way. Joel whitewashed the Gospel.He sounds like a humble man...something that is missing in today's society.
They will get held accountable at some point. I suggest moving on with your own walk with Christ and leave them in His capable hands.You can always hope for that I guess... but since they don't believe in it, they don't care... they just keep getting fat and happy rippin' off the suckers...

It places people in danger. People think they are saved but they have bought a lie and they will pay with their souls.I think a white washed Gospel is rather nice.

Did Jesus say he was the ONLY way... or that he was the way?except that he's wrong. Jesus tells us that He is the way. Joel whitewashed the Gospel.
