Joel Osteen - Deceived And Deceiving

I am heart broken to know that countless thousands of people are being deceived by Joel Osteen. The scriptures tell us this would occur in the last days as people would raise up teachers to tickle their ears.

2 Timothy ISV

• 1In the presence of God and the Messiaha Jesus, who is going to judge those who are living and those who are dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I solemnly appeal to you 2to proclaim the message. Be ready to do thisb whether or not the time is convenient. 
• Refute, warn, and encourage with the utmost patience when you teach. 
• 3For the time will come when people will not tolerate healthy doctrine, but with itching ears will surround themselves with teachers who cater to their people’s own desires. 4They will refuse to listen to the truth and will turn to myths. 

This video does a great job showing why you should have nothing to do with Joel Osteen. He is indeed a deceiver and deceiving those who raised him up. My blog and this post is dedicated to the saving of those who will come out of false teaching such as Joel and follow Jesus the Messiah. Do not trust your souls to teachers, but repent (turn from your sin) and follow Jesus the Messiah. Get into the New Testament scriptures and learn what Jesus and his disciples taught.

Joel is in the dark and tickling ears for those who love the dark. Do you think the devil wants me tell you to get into the scriptures? Hardly! They are the words of life. Joel is teaching doctrines of demons which leads to death.

Romans 16 ISV Paul gives us the final warning to the church in Rome.

17Now I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who create divisions and sinful enticements that oppose the teaching you have learned. Stay away from them, 

• 18because such people are not serving the Messiahl our Lord, but their own desires. 
• By their smooth talk and flattering words they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting. 

Joel does not teach the scriptures and whole counsel of God. He tickles the ears and does not warn the people. Unless God intervenes, his listeners will never know "the teaching you have learned" which Paul shows is critical in verse 17 above. Please get into the scriptures.
