Who says he's a Christian?
He does, and the people who trust him.
Doesn't mean it's true.

Have you ever met the man?

If no, then what, you are believing hersay, and basing it as fact.
Wow, how do you know someone enough to judge them then?
Can others do that too, or do you call them out on that?

It's at least as believable as
Sunscreen in eyes.
More so, because such a claim is against a named individual.
If it's false, then the church is helping.
Haven't HEARD anything about that

Wow, how do you know someone enough to judge them then?

Can others do that too, or do you call them out on that?

Seriously, how butthurt are you?  LOL
Yes ray, you can make judgments based on what you read about them.  However, you can't pretend to know what their mood is by what they write.

You're looking desperate to try and burn me... lol... you can't.... poor fella.

What are the facts?


ile the church and its arena have not suffered any flood damage yet, ministry spokesman Donald Iloff said their property is inaccessible because of surrounding waters.

And there is a nearby convention center set up to help.

Without more information, completing the picture, declaring what someone is or isn't is not possible.
Personally I'm not a
Name it and Claim it Christian, and I think he preaches that.

You really showed your colors by throwing stones from 1,000 miles away.   It hasn’t even stopped raining yet……

Evidently you have never been in a weather event with so much wide spread destruction.

For a guy who says he doesn't care what people here say, etc, you sure seem to take note of what they say....

However, your mind seems to work with a narcissistic bent.

You ask in a passive/aggressive manner if all Christians are like Joel Osteen.
I guess all Muslims are like ISIS then, yes.

You allow yourself the liberty to call folks out and assign them whatever it is accordingly, to satisfy yourself/argument, yet...find is wrong, discounting it when others do.

LOL  you don't even know Bot.  You think you do based on this forum?  Too funny.  Ever met him in person?

Think!

I will give you some time to ponder.


I don't need time to ponder.  I know what I'm saying and how I say it.  You may want to follow the advice you try and dish out.

You want this nation to right itself?

Yes - but unfortunately, our president is ruining it and those waiting in the wings are far WORSE.  How can you not see that??

Do you want everyone to have a chance at success?

Yes - what does that have to do with anything?

You want real tolerance and freedom extended to all?

Yes, but I don't tolerate fascism.  Do you?

Then think.
Does talking and promising to deliver it, deliver it, has it?
NO.
That is why we are where we are at.
You must engage, and listen, to EVERYONE........equally.


Um, no - I don't listen to nazis.  They have a right to speak, but I will never listen to them.  Would you?  

The above, in italics, are mine, the bold is what you posted back.

It is apparent to me, you come to your conclusion based on what you want to believe.
You even state you will not dialogue, or listen to opposition, that reminds me of ISIS, or yes, even a NAZI.
That leaves war then, nice.

BTW, listening, does not mean agreeing, however, it seems you lack depth to understanding, as like a shallow pool of water, tainted and polluted.

Your words here, again: You may want to follow the advice you try and dish out.

You don't.

Ignorance is not bliss, you example it well.

Oh, and this:
You're looking desperate to try and burn me... lol... you can't.... poor fella.


Well heck, you can't say that, how?

I will use your own explanation: However, you can't pretend to know what their mood is by what they write.

Yes, only you and God can know that.

Yes, you got me bad  Roll Eyes

Few points on Osteen.

1) I don't begrudge anyone's legally obtained wealth, unlike many socialist we have at this table, but from what I've seen & heard of the Osteens, they equate prosperity with a certain level of Faith which I don't believe is a valid or accurate doctrine.

2) earlier this year, I joined a team from my company in what's called in the industry, a sales blitz. Basically, you get multiple teams of two people and knock on doors, cold calling.  We do this in cities where we hire new people and they need a jumpstart, a group of leads to follow up on so they can get their career going. That was the case in Houston a few months ago.  I think we had eight teams participating.  as a segment manager over a dedicated industry, I only went to those particular places but another team stopped in on Osteen's church.  based on what they said, it was probably the award winner as far as rudest people to answer a call. I wasn't there but one of the guys swears the security guards were packing to heat.  on the other hand, churches are not immune from being targeted by desperate or insane people.

3)  with all the hubbub going on about whether they open their doors, it occurred to me; what's the difference between what politicians did like obama, Pelosi, the Democratic Party in general, when they open the borders of the nation to a group of people we all know contains undesirables who will hurt and kill people .  those in charge who opened those borders  will never, ever have to face the real consequences of that action.. All of them will be very well protected by armed guards, gated communities etc. Just a thought....

Hey TT, I am not personally a fan of Joel but I guess you know that his church is flooded also. This article has been debunked.

By the way, How much of your money do you give to charity?

Um, no it wasn't flooded, because it's now open - only AFTER people pressured him.

I give what I can to charity.  I don't tithe, but I give of my time and some money.  I work with Toys for Tots throughout the year and Greater Chicago Food Depository.

How about you - what do you do?
