Osteen seems to be getting so much attention lately with his DC rally/revival, I see more and more friends posting quotes from him that are simply lies, so it’s time for another post detailing precisely where he goes wrong. And this is not unimportant.
Recently:
- What’s wrong with Joel Osteen? – Daily Caller
- Joel Osteen Worships Himself – Salon.com (Secular but still makes the same points as others. I don’t agree with the picture portrayed of the Puritans. Clearly the author has not read much o the Puritans and has a caricature in mind, from one sermon, i.e., Jonathan Edwards’ Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God)
- Now Joel Osteen Says Mormonism Itself is Christian – Apprising Ministries
Not so recently:
