I wasn't sure where you were going with this Marie but, after listening, I agree. I really liked to listen to Joel but he has bought into the "word of faith" teachings. Name it and claim it theology. I listened to him when he first came on tv but I stopped shortly after that. I won't say he isn't saved, but the mark of a balanced Christian is balanced teachings. Joel is very one sided. Feel good theology as I call it. It is a serious flaw in their misleading teachings because so many people follow for the promised riches, but it won't go unpunished as the commentator quotes in Jeremiah 23.
I think he was out of line harping on Joel not having a degree. 1 John 2 v 26, 27 speaks about this. I don't have a degree either but God has taught me countless things through the Bible and other good teachers.

There are many that are falling away.

I watch Joel Osteen every Sunday and find his messages very encouraging in a very negative world. You do not need hell and damnation to reach people. He bases on alot of Faith in God but I never hear the name it claim it at all. He is a good man of God annoited by God to reach thousands of people. I beleive a true man of God shouldn't need seminary training. Anyone can be schooled to learn but in my opinion a true annointing only comes from God. JMO

You won't hear it in all of his sermons my friend and, yes, they are encouraging. It's not the idea of trying to reach people by preaching hell, fire & damnation, it's the lie of promising physical riches that God never promised. Many are severely disappointed when they hear that God wants everyone to be rich & prosperous and then they don't receive the riches. Then, they're told it's because they don't have enough faith which damages them even more. I listened to him for about a year and heard his TV interviews with Larry King and others and he definitely buys into the prosperity gospel. Copeland, Price, Dollar, etc. do too.

I believe Joel Osteen is truly annoited by God and has reached thousands upon thousands of people through his sermons. People that would not have been reached with the old negative Hell and damnation feeling. I enjoy feeling good about God and having a loving positive relationship with him. I don't believe all the riches Joel speaks of are material. He is definitely a good man and doing good work. God Bless him.
