Somewhere out there in the spirit world are a bunch of devils getting quite a bit of pleasure reading all this.

That Christians are fighting about things that they should clearly see. That they can not clearly see them pleases the demons and that they are fighting because of it also pleases them.

While we wait for draexo to let us know what he wants people to stop doing... I can report that my MIL is, maybe, starting to see the errors of Osteen's teachings. She made a comment the other day that stunned me in my living room, "eh, he keeps talking about the same things.................."

She just left on Tuesday of this week. Her comment was made on Sunday, I almost spit out my frosted corn flakes. It does say "your sins will find you out." Those who really do want to know the truth will eventually "see" what's going on right under their noses. That sounds like a good first step. And it took her how long? LOL

But she hasn't let go of her beliefs yet... she is, it seems, starting to see some of things I have been telling her for the last 8 years.

When I began repenting, I became aware of more and more. Awareness, repentance, awareness, repentance, awareness, repentance . . . . . It doesn't end. lol. Thank God for GRACE.

To be honest I have only read the OP initial thread. But my opinion on Olsteen is that he is probably a good hearted person with exttremely good intentions. In fact probably better intentions than all the mainstream preachers on television. However, the gospel of self help and prosperity makes him totally miss the mark on what he should really be preaching. He should be preaching on repentance and sin and living the Bible standard instead of just a feel good God is love gospel. Now, yes God is love and that should be boldly proclaimed but also since God is just it is imperative to preach judgment and against sin also. Therefore, Osteens gospel is unbalanced and has lost its salty savor.
