No surprises here, he is a motivational speaker, not a pastor and definitely not a christian.

How can a supposed man of God say Jesus is not the only way when the bible explicitly mentioned that Jesus is the only way and that no one cometh to the father except through Christ?

Joel Antichrist Osteen.

He's a business man. I heard you pay gate fee to enter his church.

Christians are the ones trying to make the words of Jesus void.

Jesus said there will be wolves in sheep clothing. If you ask a Christian to mention 5 wolves in sheep clothing he knows, he wont be able to mention one. That's cos he is one of the deceived.

They will dirty the place and occupy the space, thus preventing genuine students of his Lecture theatre from attending classes. Joel Osteen runs a successful inspiration-talking center, a very eloquent man, supposedly filled with wisdom on how to corner the rich depressed souls and disposes them of their hard currency.
He knows very well the cost implications of housing those multitude, like his Nigerian counterparts in motivational speaking, he knows a week without one or two programs at the Center will mean a loss in millions of dollar revenue.
And it is uncertain how long these new occupants will stay. It is not an easy decision, were it not that as a pastor, he is expected to live an exemplary life of selflessness, allowing one's business premises to be overrun by refugees is not a simple thing.

Next thing you hear soon is "Osteen denies report closing doors on Hurricane victims".

And they would arrange "victims" he "helped" to speak to the media. It is politics .

Fact is. He is under no obligation to accommodate victims of natural disaster

He's under an obligation to accommodate such people as long as he calls himself a Christian.

Galatians 6:2

2 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ



It is this Christian virtue that makes Christian Europe to accept muslim refugees, otherwise the continent would have shut its doors in retaliation to how Islamic countries persecute the few Christians in their country.

If i may ask you, what's islam and muslims have to do with this?. Why did you bring this in?.

Anyways, he is under no obligation. What you said is under religious and moral conviction. If he chooses not to he is not blameworthy under constitutional laws. But he may be sinning and morally bankrupt from religion perspective.


I am surprised that you talked "law of christ". I thought christians said Jesus eradicated laws and everyone is free to do as pleases? shocked

The punishment comes at the Judgment Day. If you decide to punish such people now, your own sins will prevent you cos you are not holy as well. That in no way endorses or encourages such sins.

CONTRADICTION!

You just contradicted yourself. So why did you quote that verse of yur bible about Jesus's law?. Laws are meant to be implemented right here on earth. If we are to apply your level of reasoning, then, you have no right to kill ritualists, thieves, so called witchcrafts whom you subjected to jungle justices when yourselves aren't free of all the accusations. Also you have no right to blame terrorists. Get the logic?. Keep deceiving yourself

A true Christian hears his master's voice and follow him but a wolf won't John 10:27

The master said He is the only way, his sheep obey. Dogs, pigs like Joel osteen won't.

Don't you understand. Governments are the ones to deal with certain offenders, not we Christians in a certain sense. The law of Christ is for us to love one another and to carry each other's burden. If you love a sinner, you won't kill that sinner but preach to the sinner. If he fails to repent, when he dies, he will face Judgment. Example was when the mob wanted to stone that woman accused of adultery, Jesus stopped them and showed them that a sinner cannot judge another sinner. Moreover, if you stone her to death, how will she repent of her sins? What if she was wrongly accused like we saw a comedian killed in Ikorodu after he was mistaken for Badoo member? You know nothing about the law of Christ.

Galatians 6:2 states, “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ”

He is not a true Christian cos he disobeyed the command of Master Jesus by not loving fellow Christian who needed help.

John 13:34-35

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

Talk is cheap. Quotation is cheap. If famous and richest nigerian pastors and bishops that you people hallow all the time were tested like Joel Osteen, they would fail as well. But i wonder if you would suddenly claim they aren't christian?. That brings this question; do you actually have true christ followers at all?

Like it or not, he is a christian. You only want to attribute good things to christianity. Anyways, sounds like muslims are more christians than christians themselves. It is muslims who shelter hurricane victims.

He is not cos ''by their fruit ye shall know them''.

Stop whining like it's only muslims that are helping. If checked, the percentage of help coming form the muslims won't be more than 5%. Compared that to the amount of help and aid that Christians have been giving to islamic countries for centuries.
