Joel Osteen: God 'approves' of homosexuals

[SolaSaint]

The quote I posted is from Osteen in the article in the op.

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.

Yes you do. what min & sec did that one word occour?

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.

Did you answer my question? No you didn't.

Well if there was a question I missed you will have to point it out. I have no idea what it was.

Post #5 was a question for you. Now a follow up question....did you watch the video or just read the article? There was stuff missing from the article that the video showed more about "see post 24" thus I see were some thought the OP was incorrect.

I am not going to watch the video. The quote I posted is enough to negate the title of the op. Does he try to down play it? Knowing him probably he doesn't want to take the heat for making a stand. He is not a preacher, his gospel over all is wrong, he refuses to preach on sin, hell or Satan. He is nothing more than a motivational speaker.

But I do not believe he thinks homosexuality is ok.

Fine, be willfully ignorant. BTW it was YOU who fell for the Joel Osteen rumor before.....I can see why now.
