    Has Joel Osteen's preaching saved anyone?

    None of that answers the question as to how reliable your having not heard Joel Osteen make a claim is. What I am getting at is that Joel Osteen has been preaching 20 something years. If he preaches just 3 times a week he could have easily preached 3000 sermons. If someone has listened to ten of...

    Now Some GOP Starting to Blame the Unvaxed For Surge

    I did not intend that as either a recommendation or a condemnation, just the limited facts as I know them. I have not taken Ivermectin, but I know people who have, with good results. They bought the apple paste at the feed store. If there are better more reliable ways of getting it, I have no...

    Has Joel Osteen's preaching saved anyone?

    How many of Joel's sermons have you listened to? Just wondering; serious question. Whether you have listened to few or many really affects the value of what you have not heard Joel Osteen claim.

    When do we have enough?

    I have not thought of that before, but that is a good comparison. I have seen people just chomping at the bit, can't stand it till the next smartphone comes out so they can buy it. And some of the new translation or latest upgrade rhetoric sounds much the same. I think some of this, both...

    Now Some GOP Starting to Blame the Unvaxed For Surge

    At least Governor Ivey is putting out her opinion through direct appeal to the people rather than trying to force them by laws, according to this part:

    Has Joel Osteen's preaching saved anyone?

    Why should it be either/or? Both are his words are they not? Is there a place (time-wise in the video) you can point to in the over-1-hour video that is what you are particularly referencing? I do not have time to listen to it all right now, though I am sure it is interesting.

    Should women be required to register for the Draft?

    I just read through the article. Unless I missed it, it does not mention anyone making a case for requiring women to register for the draft, other than a possible nod to "equality".

    Has Joel Osteen's preaching saved anyone?

    Well, it would seem he ought to be able to do so, since there are things in the Bible that ought to motivate us. I fear, however, that much of motivational preaching may tend to appeal to the flesh rather than the spirit. I do not know what Joel Osteen promises regarding this, but I would guess...

    NIV 2011 Revision…Thoughts?

    Kind of off topic, but I was surprised to see that Fee and Strauss would assert that "all commentators" agree on anything. John Gill's comments on verse 4 appear to diverge from their assessment.

    Has Joel Osteen's preaching saved anyone?

    The statement above about God's sovereignty covers everybody. Concerning Osteen in particular, we could start with his prosperity health and wealth gospel, which I consider false. Also, if I remember correctly, he emphasizes self-esteem and tends to tell or indicate to people that they are good...

    Has Joel Osteen's preaching saved anyone?

    IMO, every teacher must stand or fall on his own merits. God is sovereign and does as he pleases and saves whom he will. Yet that does not excuse anybody's false doctrine.

    Has Joel Osteen's preaching saved anyone?

    It is well that God can speak through an ass, else he would have little use for many preachers.

    Harmony of the Gospels

    Quote from Riddle’s second post. Augustine’s introduction stresses the apostolic authority of the canonical Gospels. The canonical Gospels are consistent with the regula fidei [i.e. rule of faith, rlv]. With respect to their chronological order, he puts forward what will become knowns as the...
