    Rev,

    Do you believe Osteen's comment that he is called a gay basher for stating homosexuality is a sin? I've never heard of him preaching this from the pulpit? I think he is trying to ride the fence. He's a man pleaser and not interested in pleasing God...IMO.

    I am not a fan of Osteen and I have not sit and listened to all of his sermons. BUt I do believe what he was quoted as saying is pretty clear.

    I did ask you a question Rev and either you ignored it or enjoy making contentions with other conservatives. I guess you didn't have your cup filled with the liberals on this forum at it is or didn't bother to WATCH the video.

    Start at 2:15....the guy is quoting from Joel's OWN book. 2:18 says God "God likes you,He accepts you,He APPROVES of you",and the guy asked him about this "spirit of inclusiveness" DOES THIS INCLUDE Homosexuals? And what does Joel say 2:25 "ABSOLUTELY"? Now Joel later says it's a sin but was quick to brush that off...... but look at the context....as SolaSaint said, "he is trying to ride the fence".

    First, I will disagree with anyone. Second disagreement is not contention. Third I provided the quote in the op more than once.
