26I therefore declare to you today that I’m not responsible for the blood of any of you,27because I never shrank from telling you the whole plan of God. 28Pay attention to yourselves and to the entire flock over which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers to be shepherds of God’s church, which he acquired with his own blood. 29I know that when I’m gone, savage wolves will come among you and not spare the flock. 30Indeed, some of your own men will arise and distort the truth in order to lure the disciples into following them. 31So be alert! Remember that for three years, night and day, I never stopped tearfully warning each of you. Acts 20 ISV
Where are the watchmen? What happened to the Elders who are to be shepherds of God's church? I am horrified at the number of professing believers who have not seen and have not been warned Joel Osteen is a false teacher and a wolf in sheep's clothing. These men and women are so deceitful that you will miss what they are really saying unless their words are broken down.The words spoken by Joel may be the most evil and deceitful words I have ever heard.
"By their smooth talk and flattering words they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting." Romans 16:18 ISV
When Joel was asked by Oprah "are there many paths to the one God?" Joel replied:
- (1)'I believe that Jesus is the way to the one God, True.
- (2)but I believe there are many paths to Jesus. Twisted, groundless heresy from hell! Jesus is God!! When someone trusts in Jesus they are trusting in God. When you find Jesus, you have found God and the Holy Spirit. Jesus said "if you have seen me you have seen the Father". Don't be deceived here. When Joel says there are many paths to Jesus he is saying there are many paths to God, as Jesus is God!
- In the first place, there is no path to the Father or the Son. The scriptures do not tell of any paths to them. The Gospel has no paths to Jesus. Mankind is born spiritually dead. When someone trusts in Christ, they were spiritually "dead in trespasses and sin". They were not on a path to God, they were spiritually dead on a path to Hell. God intervened with the gospel, giving them faith and opened their blind eyes. They pass from darkness to light, from one kingdom to the other. They are born again spiritually and all things become new. No Joel Osteen fictional path has anything to do with the new birth. Prior to the new birth a person is dead to God and rebels against him.
- Joel Osteen's teachings came from hell and the wicked one. To think that Joel sent this out to the whole world, deceiving mankind is heart breaking. Joel has power to deceive with "smooth talk", and most listeners are "unsuspecting" and do not have time to think about what he said and it appeared to make sense. To keep you from thinking about his demonic statement, he then quickly says
- (3)so I'm not into excluding people Who cares what Joel's into? This is about God!! God excludes everyone who does not repent and rejects his son Jesus’ offer of salvation. Joel is perverting God's Gospel. Joel's words are "smooth talk" and "flattering words" for the "unsuspecting".
- (4)Jesus can reveal himself to any body. What an empty, worthless statement. Simply more deceitful "smooth talk" and "flattering words" for the "unsuspecting".
Joel does not want to represent the true God of the bible and what the Word of God says. Joel is ashamed of God.
The scriptures tell us wolves in sheep's clothing would arise in the church. In Romans 16:18, we read about false teachers - "By their smooth talk and flattering words they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting."
ReplyDeleteAre you on guard? If not you have likely been impacted by these men and women, maybe severely. Please trust no person with your soul. Read the New Testament! Judge the words of all teachers.
