Jesus says in Luke 21 "8He said, “Be careful that you are not deceived, because many will come in my name and say, ‘I AM’ and, ‘The time has come.’ Don’t follow them." ISV
Ephesians 5 6Do not let anyone deceive you with meaningless words, for it is because of these things that God becomes angry with those who disobey.d 7So do not be partners with them.
2 Thessalonians 2 3Do not let anyone deceive you in any way, for it will not come unless the rebelliond takes place first and the man of sin,ewho is destined for destruction,f is revealed.
1 John 3 7Little children, don’t let anyone deceive you. The person who practices righteousness is righteous, just as the Messiahf is righteous.
1 Corinthians 3 18Let no one deceive himself. If any of you thinks he is wise in the ways off this world, he must become a fool to become really wise.19For the wisdom of this world is nonsense in God’s sight.
Jude 1:7 “Likewise, Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities near them, which like them committed sexual sins and pursued homosexual activities, serve as an example of the punishment of eternal fire.”
Why will Joel and the Pope not talk about the last warning in the bible, which is from Jesus?
- 6Then he told me, “It has happened! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will freely give a drink from the spring of the water of life to the one who is thirsty. 7The person who conquers will inherit these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son.8But people who are cowardly, unfaithful, detestable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars will find themselvesb in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.” IVSV
Please do not listen to this false teacher. Please read and listen to the Word of God. Jesus is the Word and he inspired the writings of the scriptures. Countless millions are being deceived by the wolves in sheep's clothing. Joel is busy pushing HIS BOOKS, NOT GOD'S WORD. Oh God, deliver your people from these men!
Joel Osteen Talks Pope, Gays And Why You Should 'Pray For Big Things'

Joel Osteen is a phenomenon. A mega-church pastor, televangelist, senior minister of Lakewood Church, and social media monster, the Rev. Osteen now has a new book called Break Out: 5 Keys to Go Beyond Your Barriers and Live an Extraordinary Life. The spiritual star dropped by HuffPost Live to talk with host Josh Zepps about growing up poor, spirituality, what to pray for, the Pope, and, of course, the gays.
Zepps read a piece that he liked from Osteen's new book: "It doesn't matter who likes you or doesn't like you, all that matters is that God likes you. He accepts you, he approves of you." Zepps followed up by asking if that included homosexuals.
"Absolutely," Osteen insisted, "I believe that God breathed life into every person and that every person is made in the image of God and you have accept them as they are, on their journey. I'm not here to preach hate or push people down."
Josh asked Osteen about his religious upbringing.
"My dad was a minister and came from poverty... my dad was always for the underdog... I believe we are all supposed to be helping in some way. Sometimes it can be overwhelming and as people say, 40,000 kids are going to die today, but you've got to start somewhere."
A question came in from the community asking for Pastor Osteen's definition of spirituality and religion and if you can have one without the other.
"I do think that religion has turned a lot of people off. Part of it is because it was all about the rules and was political,' Osteen explained, "I think now people have a hunger for God, they want to have a relationship, but they don't want to be called religious. I'm not trying to get them to join my religion, I'm just trying to plant a seed of hope in their heart."
When Josh asked Pastor Osteen if non Christians can go to heaven, he responded that he is 'not one to judge,' but from what he sees in the scriptures you have to have a relationship with Jesus. (Watch video above).
When responding to criticism from a commenter about praying for 'things, Pastor Osteen agreed in part: "I don't think you should spend your life praying for things, but I do believe you should thank God for what He's given you... but I think the scripture teaches us that we can pray for our dreams pray for the big things.. he's not a small God, this God is incredible."
The question of Osteen's view of the current Pope also came up, to which Osteen replied that he especially appreciates the inclusive nature of Pope Francis: "I think the Pope is fantastic, his tone, his humility. "
