What are you talking about? You never listened to any of Osteen's sermons have you? Of course he uses Bible stories to illustrate his points and he quotes Bible verses. Duh. Why wouldn't he? Anyone can do this. So why can't he? He is a shrewd smart man with a high IQ. He is Jewish too and Jews have the highest IQ. Why wouldn't he be able to quote Bible verses? If you listen to his sermons, you'd see that he does. See, this is an example of judging someone before hearing him out. That's a bad trait that you guys should avoid. Freethinkers should not do that.Kradmelder wrote:It is obvious osteen and his ilk of used car salesman scam artists have never studied their bibles. Do you ever see them use it for a sermon? They peddle their mouths. Certain they never opened their bible to 2 Corinthians 2: unlike so many we do not peddle the word of God for profit.
Whether he is jewish or not, he certainly looks like a jew boy and preaches the values of die Juden: the worship of mamon and the shekel. He has also said Christians should not eat pork ham or bacon and avoids the use of Jesus' name. Jewish traits. Rather than finding his voice and message attractivery, it disgusts me that as a Christian people will associate me the likes of him. He turns Christianity into a laughing stock.
Sure he makes money. But why shouldn't he? His profession is that of a pastor. It's his job. And people are supposed to be paid for what they do. It's what he does for a living. Just because he's good at it and successful doesn't mean he's bad. He brings value to millions of Americans. He helps them get through the day and makes them feel good about themselves. He probably makes a lot from TV commercials too. So what? That's capitalism. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs made a lot of money by bringing value to people's lives through technology and smart phones too. Why don't you say they are bad people too or that they are charlatans too?
Besides, I don't hear Osteen asking anyone for money during his sermons or on TV. If people are giving to him freely by putting cash on the plate that's being passed around at his church, then that's giving freely, not being conned. Can you explain why that would be a con?
His last name Osteen may be Jewish. It sounds Jewish. Rock told me that he is a Jew. But I don't hear him worshipping money in his sermons. Can you tell me where he tells people in his sermons to worship money or to try to get rich? He isn't stupid you know. Of course he uses the name of Jesus. Maybe not as much as you want, but he does mention it. How many sermons of his have you listened to? Anyone can listen to one and see that you are mistaken.
