Why Joel Osteen is lost and the TBN Family is a Fraud




Well I hope I got your attention!  I am interrupting my series of the study of Ruth to put in this post in regards to the thieves on our television and radio airways that are stealing from the ministry and leading souls astray.  I will have a new post on the book of Ruth this Thursday morning so please check it out.

Isn’t it amazing how the things that are not are and the things that are, are not.   Confused?  Well so is our society.  For example we have something in this generation called reality TV.  Is there anything further from reality than this?  Take for example the bachelor.  Who goes on their first date flying in a hot air balloon over the Napa Valley and has a table set up in the middle of the vineyard with candles lit and imported China set?  Come on man!  What about Jersey Shore? Drunk party then party get drunk then get in the bed with this one and then get drunk party and go to bed with that one.  Sure this may describe some folks but it is shaping the next generation to normalcy.  What about Minute to win it the game show?  That one is normal right?  I mean after all it is a family show.  Well let me ask this why are all the contestants so fit and good looking? Am I the only one that sees this?

What about our heroes?  There are the sports figures that go on strike because millions are not enough and actors who pledge their loyalty to communism and musicians who serve the god of drugs and alcohol.  Oh by the way, they don’t even know you exist! 

With that said nothing is worse than the false prophets called Preachers on the airways!  Joel Osteen leads the pack in popularity and $$$ bling bling! He is bringing money that is unheard of in the range of 70 -72 million a year in which he says is used to operate their ministry.  So you may ask well what is wrong with the money they bring in?

Here is the problem Joel Osteen does not teach Biblical salvation and repentance of sin.  If you do not believe me then do this for me.  Watch this weeks broadcast and write down the title of his message.  Then write down a couple of notes and summarize what his sermon was about.  Then repeat that three more times.  Here is what you will have:  God loves you and he wants to bless you, your are the image that he has created, he longs to please you like a father does his children, you have to believe God is going to heal you, you have to believe God loves you, you have to believe that God is waiting to bless you, you need to sow success, you need to sow victory, you need to claim his authority, you need to magnify your God and not your problems and so on and so on.  What is wrong with that?  He refuses to address the truth.   Sure God is awesome in every way, but we have issues in our life for a reason.  We are sinners and we are a generation that is blessed more than any other and Osteen is teaching us to pray for God to bless our finances and boost our careers.  There could be nothing more Biblically unsound than his teaching.  When asked by Larry King is Jesus the only way to heaven he would not answer because he said that he was not at Liberty to decide whom God would let in.  What a joke!  I guess that means apostle Paul is the heretic!

This is the concept of TBN.  John Hagee, Rod Parsely, Jenzen Franklin, Creflo Dollar, and any of them who associate with Paul and Jan Crouch are phonies.  If you don’t know whom the Crouch family is then just think of big pink hair!  All of these are running rackets.  Now some people may read this and say I am too harsh.  There are some Biblical principles that you can learn from some of these men, but they are not teaching the true Gospel.  They teach God wants you to be rich and healthy.  The Bible teaches us that we are the clay and God is the potter and we have no right to ask why God has made us the way we are.

Where are these men when a young married couple has to bury their child who was born dead?  They say oh Isaiah said by my stripes you are healed and God is going to heal you in 7 days!  They take the scripture of the lashings Jesus took before he went on the cross to pay for the sins of humanity and sensationalize it to heal from colds to cancer.  It is absurd.  If Benny Hinn is a man of God would somebody take him to St. Jude’s hospital and lock him in there until all the kids are healed?

There is no way that anyone can say that these people are true teachers of Christ based on the Bible.  The only way you can claim that they are of God is by excluding the Bible.  Anyone who would do that doesn’t know God!

So is Joel Osteen lost?  Worse he is an Apostate.  Paul warned Timothy of men just like this.  II Tim 3:1-8
1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.


Now I close with what inspires me.  Why bring these fallacies up?  Because there are men all over the world giving their all for Christ and in return very little is give to them.  Tonight as I write this there is a man in Mexico named Hilarano Gonzalez who is seeking God about whether or not he can continue his ministry much longer because he serves dual roles as a Pastor in Monterrey and serves as the head of a Seminary in Reynosa.  What is one of his biggest issues?  He drives a 23-year-old vehicle that is about to fall apart.  I guess he just doesn’t have enough faith!  Right Pastor Hagee?  Right Reverend Parsely?  What about you Joel should he believe that his little 1988 4 cylinder van is going to turn into a new car as long as he smiles big enough?  Maybe he just has started living his “Best Life” yet No of course not, but you know what the message of the cross will be preached through the entire world no matter what! 

Jesus is Lord!  We are sinners and we deserve eternal punishment, but God saw fit to spare us.  Although our sins equal death he sent his son who is “The Life” Your sins are many but Christ blood is greater.  To think he couldn’t or wouldn’t save you is to shake your fist at God.  What does he have to do to prove his Love?  He sent his son and he gave himself for you.  What else do you want from him?  If you have never given yourself to him do so now because he is coming soon!
