    Well……Joel made it sound like God makes mistakes, the God I know and serve don’t make mistakes. God said that homosexuality is an abomination. And because of Jelly Back Preachers like him the world take the church as a joke. As a minister of the Gospel Of Jesus Christ you should be prepared to even lay down your life, I’m furious right now at this mess.

  2. Mz Stefani Says:

    Poor Joel, it’s like he was backed up against a corner. Why did he even come on the show if he wasn’t going to represent. All these false teachers are going to be held accountable

  3. Natalia C. Says:

    What does jelly back mean? I think someone is going to answer “Jelly back (noun): Joel Osteen” or something like that .. Anyways… Where’s the jelly beans anyway?

  4. Deborah Says:

    Mystery Babylon the Great, these preachers are coming into judgement. Satan has taken over the christian church and influence her leaders to hold the cup filled with abominations and all filthiness. Having a form of godliness but denying the power… we are in the fullness of apostasy. Rev. 17 is going to become fulfilled very quickly. Let all christians in the faith depart form the church of false christianity. Seek the true Jesus and ask for the spirit of truth to seal your mind (book of acts), before it is too late. You need the real truth!
    these preachers are following a false jesus, who comes as an angel of life. It is the working of the anti-christ. Get away from them quickly and be not part takers of their judgement.

  5. walt Says:

    How can anyone remotely think that Osteen is a gospel preacher ? This man rarely speaks what is written in the Word,he is either ashamed,afraid, or too ignorant to preach the gospel of Christ.I heard him say that he would not preach of God’s wrath, indignation or judgement , only the love,grace,and goodness… even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies,…and bring upon themselves swift destruction.And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.( 11 Pet.2) Multitudes are following this so-called preacher.Thank God for the Word of Truth and the Spirit of Truth.

  6. Proud Infidel Says:

    Joy Behar has a long history of Christian bashing. But I guess Joel has no problem rubbing elbows with anyone. It’s all good, we’re all good – it just makes me sick.

  7. Jai Says:

    you know how Goofy has the weird laugh “ugha, ugha.” To me he sounds like this: *Goofy’s voice* “Well you know, it’s not Gods best, [Ugha, ugha].”

  8. Bensy Says:

    Now you see…. Whoopi Golberg and the other woman are trying to send a message to him which is to be an inclusionist and join in the new age mind set and not too much in the bible. Joel is stepping from the neutral position to slightly being an inclusionist. That’s what happens when you’re just a coward! Poor Joel…. ( sad face)

  9. J. Wesson Says:

    Did you see his buck in the beginning? Like, man why you got to ask me that. Just funny and sad. Why would you go on the view? To save souls? That clearly wasn’t happening.

    • J. Wesson Says:

      Also, he said “gays, staights and all religions are welcome” huh? “we all a purpose, destiny, gods best”

      He was just saying anything that sounds good to the ear. Wow!

  10. sonya Says:

    Where is John the Baptist of this era that is going to call people out for their Sins?

  11. Lynn Says:

    I don’t think that Jakes and Osteen and their ilk realize that the media is parading them back and forth in an attempt to show Christianity weak. They don’t realize that the enemy has thrown down the gauntlet and their invitations to speak on these shows is a weapon in a war on the Christ – attempting to show Him weak, impotent, hypocritical, and nuts. It won’t work. They would never invite a true believer like Pastor G. Craige Lewis on their show. Never.

    • mt Says:

      they are false prophets, they know what they are doing, remember, the nephilim are using them too, they are all together in that mess, because of the illuminati, and all that other stuff, so they know, its just why would they care as long as the money is flowing in, and actually the media isnt doin anything. they are only going off what is being done openly. the media doesnt need to add or change anything about these preachers to get a good news story, td, eddie and them are helping them out by giving them all the info they need

  12. Godlysoldier Says:

    Would you expect anything LESS from someone who’s having their “BEST LIFE NOW?”
    Who cares about preaching on heaven or hell when I can have my “BEST LIFE NOW!”
    I don’t need to teach the sheep the truth, as long as I can tickle their ears to think
    they can have their “BEST LIFE NOW”, so that they can continue to finance my “BEST LIFE NOW!” Woe unto you Joel…

    • Anonymous Says:

      This is true! You would like John Macarthurs sermon against Joel Olsteen’s book called ” Your Best Life Now or Later?” In the sermon John Macarthur says that if this is your best life now then your next life must be hell, because for the Christian, this is our worst life and our next life in heaven will be our best life.

      • Pastor Fred Price Jr. Says:

        While I believe Joel stands for less than nothing. McArthur is a Calvinist who believes in electionism. He also doesn’t believe in prophets or apostles, speaking with tongues, being filled with the Spirit (receiving the gift of the Spirit), or the operation of the gifts of the Spirit. He doesn’t believe in casting out demons or laying hands on the sick. He’s a cessaionist who believes all that ended with the book of acts. He’ll even go on to attribute those things happening today to the devil. In my opinion that’s committing the unpardonable sin but that’s me. Now I agree this life couldn’t be better than the next, however Jesus did say if we leave family for His sake and the gospel, we’d receive a hundredfold in this life and the next, as I said before though, I believe the next will be better, cuz it will be without the temptations, tests, and trials.

        • Sis. Dee Says:

          Pastor Price, thank you for that comment. I love the fact that you take the time to converse with us “lay people” so to speak. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I love the way you preach and teach and I have been truly blessed by your broadcasts. You are young, true enough, but you are truly mature in the Spirit. I will continue to pray that your broadcasts continue to touch the hearts of people everywhere that they may turn to Christ! God bless!

          • Pastor Fred Price Jr. Says:

            Sis. Dee:

            Thanks for the blessed words. I was taught humility at a young age, its important for pastors to fellowship with lay people. We need to hear their cries and joys. Too many big time preachers feel they’re too important to talk with the members they supposedly love feeding the word. That ain’t cool.

  13. blestnfavord Says:

    What!? I know this is the part where I am supposed to comment, but I am so angry that I’m speechless…JELLY BACK IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT!

  14. mt Says:

    the only reason these pastors are allowed on these stupid shows is because the unsaved host already know that they not gonna stand up for the truth, because if they did, its gonna call out the very ppl doing the interview, so they gotta get a preacher whose gonna give everybody the warm fuzzies. its a shame when the world isnt fooled by joels permanent smile. but ppl who call themselves christians are. he has never stood for the truth, he never preaches about Jesus return, thats enough right there not to listen to him, he never preaches against ANY sin, only minor obstacles such as being patient in traffic, and smiling through it all, i dont recall ecclesiastics saying theres a time to smile and a time not to smile, but im sayin it, because everything aint smileable, i dont believe Jesus went was smiling when he turned over them tables, or when he was puttin they hypocrites on blast for talkin stupid. but anyway,

  15. Pastor Tavares Robinson Says:

    How can Joel “really” speak out against homosexuality when he is a false teacher. Homosexuality and false teaching function under the influence of the spirit of error. The spirit of error or sometimes called a lying spirit, twist and distort the mind of people, to cause them to think what is wrong is really right. For Joel to oppose this sin would be equivalent to opposing himself. And false teachers have too much pride for that.

  16. Elder D. Burke Says:

    My Lord! They ate him up. Exactly what happens when you don’t stand up for the Word of God! We can’t be ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! And there is no “God’s best”! There is holiness or unholiness! Homosexuality is sin and unholy. Plain and simple.

  17. Yvonne Says:

    All he had to do is say what the bible says!!!!! But they knew he would not stand up for the word of God thats why they had him on there! They need him and other “men of god” to say what they want to hear!! Joel isn’t a spiritual fighter…..never mind that the word of God is your weapon…its not even about what Joel “thinks” its about what God said!! This is so sad and just another example of someone who is leading Gods’s people astray and trying to be a “friend” to the world!!!!

  18. Angel10 Says:

    @ KELLIE..NOOOOOOOOO! I wore a purple sweat suite today..say it anit so..lol..I had no idea about this either

  19. talking2chairs Says:

    as MEN and WOMEN of GOD we should preach the GOSPEL of JESUS CHRIST in and out of season , on nationat tv or in the bedroom! JOEL is a fake, botox ,robotic pulpit pimp .all he is doing is sinner hustling. as long as his church is full on Sunday he is satisfied. when he was on LARRY KING he did the same thing . thats why they are called tv evangeliste. ,they are made for tv.they put on a SHOW. go in the back room count their money then go home and talk about all the SUCKERS! they just robbed.

  20. Dawn-BDA Says:

    The bottom line is that people who claim to be of God are not standing up for his son Jesus. JO needs to know what the Word of the living God says and make up his mind on whether he is in the Kingdom of God or of the kindom of this world. The Apostle Paul requested prayer for himself in Ephesians 6:19 20, “that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.” They are comprising the Christian belief. Who are they representing? This is the problem with the watering down of Christianity, people want to be too close with the world and I believe it is because they have their own agendas and motives. Fame, forturne, and power! All they want to do is sell another book, why? People need to read the Word and be transformed in the renewing of their minds. Jesus? Where does he fit in? They have a form of godliness but they so deny the power of God. They don’t rightly devide the Word of truth they preach their own gospel and what the world wants to hear.
    It’s just sad.

  21. Tonjay Says:

    I am so sick of this Gay thing, this lesbian, gay pride thing, wear purple to show your support, support for what for these ppl to try to force this unnatural way of living. I am watching this new talk show on CBS called the talk yeah a carbon copy of the view not up holding the truth but another place for the devil to voice his lies. I am just sick, sick and sick of this Gay pride, gay bullying, gay suicide, gay hate look I am like this what ever GOD hates I hate, What ever stinks in God nose stinks in my nose what ever is an abomination to God I believe it to be true. We the ppl of God the true saints we cannot save them they have to want to be saved and for them to want to be saved they must hear the truth so we have to keep preaching and teaching the truth keep being the disciples of Jesus Christ. I asked a question on one of the social networks ”
    Would you speak the truth (God word) even if your family will get upset with you?” and of course I got about two responses if I was talking about some movie or something I would of gotten 100 responses, the point I am making is that we have to start in our own backyard.

    • KELLIE Says:

      Oh my goodness…I had no idea about wearing this purple to support gay thing…got dressed for work today in a purple sweater..low and behold someone said to me “oh I forgot to wear my purple” I’m like what are you talking about, he said to support the gays…I had to tell him that is not the reason I wore mine and I do not support homosexuals he walked away when I started talking…but this is so crazy we can’t even wear our clothes anymore without people putting a label on it…this is sick…I told my husband to bring another sweater from home because I don’t want anyone to get the wrong impression…and I am not gonna sugar coat it…I’m gonna have to tell the truth…

      • Tonjay Says:

        Amen to tell the truth! I got a response from my question and here is what was said.

        AS WELL, THEY GONNA DO WHAT THEY WANNA DO ANYWAY!!!

        The Truth hurts!!!! I believe we rather spare someone’s feelings, but we should speak the Truth. The real Question is, How will the Truth be received and will it cause animosity?

        You know it might cause animosity but I rather know the truth then not.

        It really depends, I rather learn or find out the hard way. Because when someone tells you the Truth, it does not mean they are looking out for your best interest; it could be for their selfish reasons and seeking a good laugh. So often people enjoys someone else’s misfortune. Remember, Experience is the best .

      • mt Says:

        can you pls enlighten me as to which days we ought not wear purple, because i dont want to have that color on during gay fest day.

  22. Sherise Says:

    He really needs to stay from on television.

    He’s just too afraid.

    They were all over him and new he couldn’t/wouldn’t answer.

  23. PraiseHymn Says:

    Ummm… is it just me or did he seem extremely weak? It seems like he was “trying” to say that he believes homosexuality is wrong, but didn’t want to “ruffle any feathers.” That left me feeling like the ladies took complete control over the interview. He wants to push “God made and loves us all.” I get that… God does love us all… but He HATES sin!

  24. Jimmy Frederick Says:

    Geez joel! Tell them already! Bobbing and weaving from a direct chance to rightly divide the Word of Truth! When these artist and preachers get in mainstream, for some reason real truth is thrown out the window and they find themselves compromising and backing down from proclaiming the truth of God’s Word! That was his opportunity to preach and minister to millions but because of being politically correct and not wanting to offend anyone, he side steps then like he did with Larry king a few years ago.

  25. Zealot4Christ Says:

    This quote speaks to this motivational speaker, inclusionist’s situation best:

    “If you feel no responsibility, no desire, no urge to share the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, then obviously it wasn’t good news for you.” – Ralph Provance

  26. Angel10 Says:

    What a sad shame! I guess the term “God’s best” is a gay friendly or safe term. I’m tired of what your “opinion” is Mr. Osteen. Just tell me what the Word says. Please for heaven’s sake!

    • ladyofwealth Says:

      Thank you!!! He had no scriptures to back him up!! Clearly a compromiser!!!!!

      REPLY: Joel would need the word of God in him to be able to do that.

    • Cody Young Says:

      gayness is nothing but wrong no comprimize Joel osteen is false Jesus is the way truth and life and there is a very real place called hell which he never talks about the last time I checked preachers spoke about hell even Jesus spoke about hell as a matter of fact he went there to recieve the keys from death, hell and the grave. stay away from false teachings you can end up with a reprobate mind having no will to repent and overcome the day of judgment will be without excuse so follow Jesus and not Joel. and when Jesus was teaching his disciples to pray he said let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven there are no gays in heaven and God is very, very against gays no sin will enter in.

  27. Bro. Wes Says:

    All Joel has to do is say that Homosexuality is “SIN!” If Joel wants to be “Inclusive,” I used that term only as a pun, say that ALL Sexual sin outside of Marriage between a Man and Women is SIN!!! Lord help us to stand for truth!

  28. Reuel Williams Says:

    It’s a conundrum? God’s word isn’t a conundrum?

  29. MistyLovesJesus Says:

    Joy Behar just got a full scholarship to Hell for that dumb comment….”what if God made a mistake?”…assuming that God is no greater than man. She will pay dearly.

    And poor Joel…”not God’s best” is the best you can say about homosexuality??? *sigh*

  30. Bro.T Says:

    Just like that mess when Marvin Sapp was on the Monique show. Joel should have spoken the word of God with authority. When she said, “Maybe God made a mistake”, he should have given her the raw unadulterated word. He squirmed his way out of the question. The homosexual agenda is very bold and when you go against them, those who believe in this and practice this will come at you. Why are the ones who have a platform won’t come against this mess. God does not make mistakes. He does not know what a mistake is. How sad when people don’t even fear God. I remember coming up we had such a fear and reverance for God we didn’t even walk on the pulpit. But be encouraged God is in control and we will triumph in Christ Jesus!!!

  31. jason Says:

    It is a shame, Joel Olsteen has comromised and has always done this. Thers is enough comments about him on here that are correct, But anybody ever notice the “V” in the View!? Can we Say, Satanic! May God bless and keep the Elect, true Believers, dont grow weary, and continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. Until the blessed reutrn of the King, The ruler with the Iron sceptre! Praise your name King of Glory.. Keep are minds stayed upon thee!

    • mt Says:

      never noticed what was wrong with v on the view, what is wrong with it, i believe you, just wanna know, so i can be looking out for it next time i scroll past the channel that the stupid show is on

  32. Tiffany D. Says:

    I was friends with his sister, gave my life to the Lord under his Dad JOHN, so I am a bit familiar with the family…they are a God fearing family, however I don’t in my personal opinion believe Joel was ever prepared for ministry. He was the nice guy behind the scenes… It saddens me to see this. I thInk that you can be nice, with a heart for people, but he needs fire in his bones for Truth. The uncompromised Word of God. It’s scary to stand but stand you must. I pray that he would receive the power of the Holy Spirit to be bold and unafraid. Fear NOT !!!! those around him should love him enough to tell him in these dark days he needs to forget the money and preach truth!

  33. ED, m.a.e.s.t.r.o. Says:

    I’m honestly shocked that he said even what he DID say. I wish that he looked more confident and use more clear cut and definitive words in his response. Something to the effect of… “Sure homosexuals are welcomed to come to our church, but we do not condone their lifestyle because God does not condone their lifestyle. It is a sin according to the Word and that is how we must approach it as a church.” I’m just longing for the day that I hear one of these big named preachers actually use the word “Sin” when talking about homosexuality.

    • Anita Says:

      Me too! And use scripture to back it up. What would the View ladies do then, call the Bible a lie, because if they did, they would be bringing damnation upon themselves. What else could they do, if you present them with the truth; they can only refute it, agree with it, or walk off stage like they did the other day, which only showed what cowards they really are!!

  34. Tonjay Says:

    I don’t see God word being a riddle why because he reveals the truth to those who seek the truth I don’t see God word being difficult to understand because he revealed to me the truth. I think that woopie wanted him to tell the truth because she knows the truth! she is not dumb. Joel I believe wanted to tell the truth but like EX said JELLYBACK!

    God is not going to make anything he is against! the only right thing he said! and God word is not a conundrum and he should recanted his statement “not God’s best” he has to answer for that but Joel knows the truth and I think that this is going to eat at him because he knows the truth and I hope he will stand for the truth…Repent Joel and you will be forgiven.

  35. Danielle Says:

    I hate “the View” with a passion. How anyone who can watch these wicked women is beyond my comprehension. There is one advantage though. They let you know what path the world is on. They celebrate what God hates, spit on what He loves and are very proud of their ignorance.

    Psalms 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

    • Anita Says:

      Me too Danielle! I can’t for the life of me understand why mom, who is a Christian, loves that stupid show so much!!! Joel did look completely weak up there and scared to death actually. I agree with one of the previous comments in that, why do people go on these shows so unprepared. One thing I agree with, I can’t stand people like Bill O’Reilly, Beck, Hannity, etc., but AT LEAST they have the courage of their convictions, which is more that I can say for those like Joel, TD, Creflo, etc. All they want to do is appease the world and then when they’re asked the tough questions, they end up looking like punks who don’t know what they are talking about. The Lord doesn’t have any coward soldiers, so it goes to show that these pastors aren’t really sold out for the Lord, they are just doing “a job” so to speak, so they can rake in the dough on Sundays. I can only imagine what Joel is bringing in as a pastor of his church, with over 25,000 members to almost completely fill a former basketball stadium. So much good he is doing if none of those 25,000 are going to heaven, then they are just wasting their time hearing his Sunday morning cheerleader “feel-good” speeches and giving him their money to support his lavish lifestyle. Personally, I wish these pastors would stop going on tv PERIOD! If they can’t say anything that lines up with the word of God on tv and can’t stand up for what they believe in, then SHUT UP!!!!!!!

  36. Ashanti Says:

    I thought Osteen made them look bad, ignorant even because the hosts pretended like they didn’t understand his views. After browsing through the comments on here, I realize he looked worse for not defending the faith.

  37. marletta Says:

    Awww, he tries so hard not to offend anyone…he’s so sweet. Who can’t appreciate a man like that? (sniff, sniff, hand me some tissue I think I’m gonna cry… group hug:-/

  38. nika Says:

    You know I am suprised Joel said that lil bit he said…… :|
    He steadily uses that word “best”. No wonder they attacked him like they did. If he would have just gave the Word of God like it says with Authority, they would have just walked off like they did to their other guest and Joel would have been left alone!

    Lord give us all str

    • nika Says:

      Lord strengthen us and help our confidence to say on You and You only! In Jesus Name.

      • Maryland517 Says:

        Amen Nika… many of us “say” what he should have said… but put yourself in his shoes… NO he didn’t represent Christ well however, think about it in your everyday life… do you all represent Christ wll ALL THE TIME? Let he who is without fault cast the first stone.

        I agree that JO needs to either be strong in his conviction and don’t be intimidated or stay out of the public eye. They invited him on there because by the messages he teaches they could tell they would have no real competition… come on now!

        I was suprised he said as much as he did… I could see where he was going but he just wasn’t strong enough in his delivery to SHUT THEM DOWN.

  39. Pastor Fred Price Jr. Says:

    This is not what his dad John Osteen intended for the future of Lakewood.

    • Lady Says:

      I cannot agree more. His father was a great man of God that stood for Jesus.

    • Bryann Says:

      You are right brother ! His Father preached the gospel of our lord Jesus Christ!

    • Bro. Wes Says:

      I agree with that statement Pastor Price! His dad was really an anointed preacher!

      • Bensy Says:

        Good point Pastor fred. Also I’m wondering though because Joel and Billy Graham use the excuse of how preaching about sin and hell is not their calling…. I mean is their such a thing!? because in mark it said that we are suppose to go to all ye land and preach the gospel. So letting unbelievers know since they are sinners they need to repent is the gospel. Also you have John 3:16 and verses that talks about those who don’t believe and don’t repent shall go to hell. That is the gospel. Preaching about hell or sin is not your calling because you chose not to preach the gospel and rather give good speech. Or you have denied christ already…! I’m wondering though why people like that would use the excuse about preaching about sin is not their calling!?

        • Pastor Fred Price Jr. Says:

          Because these guys are in ministry to make friends and please everyone and that’s such an improper definition and reason for ministry. True men and women of God will ruffle feathers And make some folk uncomfortable. So while I believe God has called those in ministry to deal with a certain thing individually, there are some bible essentials we all must speak about.

  40. Naiym Says:

    Nad one more thing…It used to make me SOOOO man my genetics professor would say (on our multiple choice) Pick the BEST answer. We tried to complain to the Dean, and he said “you should know the mechanisms so WELL that you know which is the most EFFECTIVE the BEST, you’re gonna be doctors this is nothing to complain about”

    My point. Even if it wasn’t God’s “best” ( which is mumbo jumbo, where did he get DAT FROM?!?!?) THERE obviously is a BEST and if there is a BEST you better start telling people what that is…because as my genetics professor said: I clearly said the BEST answer, and I taught you definitively WHAT that best mechanism was during our lectures. (who knew my professor was straight preaching, i sure didn’t at the time lol)

  41. Jules C Says:

    The world knows exactly who to bring on these talk shows because they know what kind of anwers they’ll get. They would never in a life time bring G Craige Lewis on there because things would get a bit messy. If you look carefully at Joel, he looks like he wants to tell the truth but in his brain he is thinking, “Gosh, if I tell them the truth, they won’t like me anymore” but poor Joel doesnt know that the bible says, “Don’t you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God” James 4:4.

    • Tonjay Says:

      @ Jules C you are right he wants to tell the truth because he knows the truth but is afraid to tell the truth because he does not want to loose his members. it is a shame that he is ashamed of the truth the bible says if you are a shame of me I will be ashamed of you. He needs to stand boldly and speak the truth. God is angry at this world even so he knew that this time was coming that is why his Son is to return God knew that all this was going to be like Sodom and Gomorra he knew that many would be called but few would be chosen, he allowed the devil to run rampant on the earth to and fro to do as as he wanted to those that were not of God and test those that Love God and those are the ones who will stand for God and not be ashamed to speak out for the truth because this Gay thing is just wrong and not of God it is plain wicked.

  42. Naiym Says:

    See..this is not only a conundrum…but the PARADIGM….you are either WITH him or AGAINST him..>When you try to grey it out….Man the wolves will ATTACK…and guess what, I agree with JOy ( oh lord forgive me)….and Whoppi and Elizabeth. They are correct…when you LIE and don’t tell the truth about the ABSOLUTE truth, you then tell HALF truths, WHich are whole lies. LOOK,they WANTED him to say “Homosexulaity is a SIN, A SIN”..But the LORD JEsus Christ is the repairer of the breech who can deliver you and keep you from falling.

    You know how I know THEY WANTED HIM to say that: Because one of my favorite scriptures is in JUDE> WHere he says…yeah on SOME have discernment, but others save WITH fear HATING the very garment defiled by the Flesh…and my other favorite scripture is that the CREATURE waiteth earnestly for the manifestation of the MEn and women of God ( oh where is my soap box) SINNERS are WAITING for us to be MANIFESTED, strong and sure…definite poignant and FORCEFUL. We are to satnd because they ARE DEPENDING on us! yeah they may yell scream walk off the stage, but when a Sinner stands before the most high, we will need to have assurance that we told the GOSPEL undiluted and unchanged. MAN I was listening to the TCP and the one about weak men…This is it…He was afraid of these weak , old, silly women….SCARED to offend..>Well guess what the Bible says that ” the gospel is offensive to those who DOnt beleive”.,..But did it say so don’t offend? NO! I will not insult the art of making jelly or any invertabrate by comparing it to Joel….Jelly fish and Grapes KNOW the plan of the creator. they praise him by being true to thier PURPOSE.
    But your church is a stadium….gotta get that money SOMEHOW!

    • Anita Says:

      Preach Girl!!! I gotta tell ya, your comments are so awesome on here! If you’re not a minister, you might should be because you really discuss the Word better than some of these “so-called” ministers today, like Joel and the rest of them.

  43. Bobby Johnson Says:

    This is just sad. I have more respect for Bill O’reilly than Joel Olsteen. Joel danced around that question and never truly answered it. It’s not God’s best?? How about homosexuality is NOT GOD’S AT ALL!

    WELL i’m from houston and we call ole joey the cotton candy preacher.this jus shows the world he is a spine-less so called man of GOD,whoopi had him shaking like a little boy.he scared to affend the ungodly that’s why he got so many members.he’s a people pleasing preacher with no true convictions.LARRY king embrassed him on his talk show ,now the view women has him denying christ’s word.JOEY dont care as long as he gather 3 million dollars a service ,he could careless about speaking the truth.I WOULD HATE TO BE JOEY ON JUDGEMENT DAY HE HAS,TO GIVE ACCOUNT TO THE LAMB FOR 35,000 LOST SOULS.all i can say is wow JOEY ,you did it again. shalom

  45. Antone Moore Says:

    Real children of the Most High hates what He hates. I hope I can finish typing this before my blood pressure gets too high! You(Joel) don’t believe being a homosexual isn’t God’s best? IT CAN’T BE HIS BEST, BECAUSE IT’S NOT OF HIM! (They will be outside the gate!) How could he just sit there after this lady said…’maybe God made a mistake’?!?! First of all God is not a man that He should lie, or the son of man that He should repent. He doesn’t make mistakes! When He speaks; His word doesn’t return to Him unfulfilled. Weak men, weak men, weak men….I was listening to Pastor Lewis’ sermon “Weak Men” today. I guess the enemy knows also if he bind the strong man, he can take the whole house? Be watchful and pray saints!

  46. fred Says:

    Craig G….you are hilarious! Jellyback is the perfect word to describe this preacher! but in all seriousness though, it’s sad to see a so called Christian shy away from telling the truth. Just sad…

  47. ST Says:

    It’s okay to be nervous sometimes. I’ll let that slide. But why oh why, IF you are a man of God, a preacher of The Word, why can’t you just bust our a bible, find the verse they’re rejecting and put it in their face? I mean is it that hard? You don’t even have to defend that! GOD wrote it! It defends itself. What’s the problem?

    REPLY: One thing is for sure. There wasn’t a nervous bone in the hosts’ bodies. JOEL HAS DONE THIS TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME AGAIN!!! (Larry King, The View, etc.)

    Joel Osteen’s bible must not include James 4:4 or Amos 3:3

      or Romans 1:1-27

        and 1 Corinthians 6:11….”And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.”

        Joel seems to miss or not understand any of these texts. He needs to come out and say “Yes” it’s a sin and give them God’s promises. Whether they like it or not is up to them but as a preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ he needs to tell the truth.

        They were mocking him (if he wasn’t mocking himself) and knew they could get over on him.

    There are two “conundrums” here. Why anyone watches this show, and why someone with no backbone would go on it. If you are a conservative, a true Christian, or both you will be attacked viciously on this show. Why go on if you are unprepared? He just made all pastors look bad by not standing up for what he “believes” in. All pastors, and all Christians need to have conviction about what they believe.

    Why is that these Hollywood types can never pin anything on satan? They always want to slander God but never so much as mention the name of the criminal behind all of this homosexual nonsense and other sins.

    It really saddens me to read all the negativity..And we are suppose to be God’s children,we are suppose to LOVE EVERBODY (ifffff)we love Jesus..Come on saints (aints) it’s the sin that Jesus hates,not people.I’m sure that each and every ONE of us has some kind of sin going on in our lives,thats why we should never cease to pray, THAN when YOU become sinless (?) pray for others,and stop bashing people,it’s kinda sad when allll we can do is condem like we can put people in heaven/hell we all fall short (at least that’s what the WORD say) I thank God that Jesus died for me. Let the love (real)LOVE of JESUS be seen through you.God is the judge, so lets pray for others. And remember saints NOBODY is perfect, we allll fall short..Pray for me as I pray for you…God bless

    • SamJ Says:

      SoLoved: God is quite clear about pastors who mislead the flock. Hear what Jer 23:1-2 says:
      Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD. Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD

      I hope that you are NOTaccusing God’s Word of bashing Pastor Osteen and other pastors who fail to defend the Word and call sin SIN? We are applying the Holy Word that actually is the judge in this case. Did Jesus “bash” the Pharisees? Yes! They should know better and so should Pastor Olsteen! Christians do not operate by politically correct notions but by the Word of God. And the Word condemns Pastor Olsteen in this instance of compromising with the secular society on this issue of homosexuality. In my book he does not need prayer, he needs to listen to those persons who show him his error! That type of correction is a demonstration of love.

      • Jeanne Says:

        Thank you Samj,

        I would also like to add this>WHY DO PEOPLE ALWAYS SAY THAT GOD HATES THE SIN, NOT THE SINNER? Yes, God hates and condemns sin, but it’s the “sinner” (person) that will end up in the lake of fire. It takes an actual PERSON TO COMMIT A SIN. It doesn’t select you, YOU select or choose to sin. Sin is not to have dominion over you if you are practicing “righteousness”. The devil doesn’t MAKE a person sin, people do it when they are drawn away of their own lust and entice. This person who has defended the likes of Joel Osteen pretty much told on him or herself! HOMOSEXUALITY IS A CHOICE, AND IT IS ATTACHED TO A PERSON!

      • Tonjay Says:

        Amen!

        2 Timothy 3:16 (King James Version)

        All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

        and Joel needs to be corrected!

    • PROPHET UNCUT Says:

      soloved learn your bible ,before you make comments like this ok GOD BLESS U .

      • Thomas O. Berger Says:

        MAN I’m so glad you guys are my brothers and sisters, lol. Defend the gospel like some ravenous wolves you do, Stay alert family!

    • Anita Says:

      Soloved, I think that you are rather confused regarding your interpretation of the Bible. Yes, the Word says for us to hate the sin, not the sinner, but that is pertaining to us as Christians not hating others for the sin that they commit. Nevertheless, the Word also says that homosexuality is an abomination, meaning that anyone who commits this sin is going to hell if they do not turn from it, repent, and change. If your interpretation of Bible was correct, then basically nobody would be going to hell because you’d have to fault their sin for their wrongdoing, not the person, but obviously, someone is going, and those who commit sin repeatedly without repentance, have a reprobate mind, and do not believe that Jesus is their Lord and Savior stand a pretty good chance of going to the lake of fire. The Bible does not sugarcoat things, as we often LOVE to do. It is actually pretty blunt in terms of what to do, what not to do, and the way in which man can be saved, but we are the ones that always want to distort the Bible and make it what we want it to be, but as the Word says, woe unto the person that adds anything to Bible or tries to take anything away from it.

    • Maryland517 Says:

      I have to say this… I am taught that Sin is Sin… there is NO greater sin… homosexuality, inclusion, whatever… sin is sin. God HATES sin… but he LOVES the sinner which is why He died for us all. I don’t think SOLVED’s comment means that he/she is “infected with inclusion” I just think it means that he/she understands that fact that as Christians we have to remember our place and remember that we are not the judge of men. Homosexuality is SIN and Joel should have done WAY better with his responses however, in defense of SOLVED lest not judged… remember not to hate the sinner… just the sin. When we start hating the sinner we will focus more on them than on helping the get saved and delivered… we will stick out our chests and become puffed up.

      • jason Says:

        @Maryland 517.. in re: to your comments “sin is is”.. This comment is better understood to us as it means that, God Hates all Sin! We are also to Hate all sin, even the “little ones or lesser ones, which we know that we will do from time to time. However, the Bible clearly states that there are greater sins!(john 19:11) They’re are also sins that are considered Abominations to God(leviticus 19),in which we are discussing one of those! Their are also Sins that lead to death and sins that dont lead to death!(1john 5:16-17) Not to mention(actually to mention) that there is unpardonable sins(unforgivable)! (Math 12:31) So clearly, they’re degrees of sin, or sin that is given more weight than others! Certain sin will keep you out of the kingdom!(galations 5:19-21) So is the sin of Worry, the same as Forinication or homosexuality? Which are sins committted against the body. Clearly not. So Although A, Sin, is clearly, A sin, or one, sin. and we all must agree that it is, does not mean that God is going to judge the sin the same. There are different levels of Hell, for the Worse sinner, so to speak. Trust me, God will be a fair judge to the sinner! The only ones wont wont get a “fair” judgment are the ones who are covered by the blood of the lamb and abide in his word, Thereby showing that they are overcomers! May God bless you and increase your faith in him. humble your heart and recieve the correction of the Saints, For those who love discipline are wise! In all Sincerity,we Love you! Maryland 517.

        • Diashecia Says:

          You know, I just explained this very thing to someone last nite. They were asking me for wise council concerning finding out that one of their children were gay. Praise God for His steady word. God bless you brotha.

  54. Jai Says:

    LOL Ex, it’s like sometimes y’all are reading my mind. Lately, you guys have been posting things that cross my mind and today I was thinking about jelly backs.

  55. ElderLS Says:

    God’s Best is “HOLINESS” for His People (HEB. 12:14)…it has nothing to do with telling ppl that they are going to Hell. I’m a firm believer that you don’t have to keep telling the ungodly that they are on their way to Hell…because one thing is for sure, they’ll know when they there! Some of these ppl don’t even have a form of godliness, they just deny the power to change and turn from their wicked ways. The middle letter in the “sIn” is “I” because it’s all about them and what they want. The Holy Scriptures says in ROM. 1:28, “And even as THEY DID NOT LIKE TO RETAIN GOD IN [THEIR] KNOWLEDGE, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient”. They don’t want to recognize GOD as Creator, Sustainer, or Deliverer. In other words…it’s their Bobby Brown (it’s their prerogative) they can do what they want to do. Morally corrupt with a debased (reprobate) mind…that’s dangerous! The mind of an unsaved person is a “dangerous mind”.

  56. Ash Says:

    Wow, that made my stomach turn. As many times as I took up for Joel and gave him the benefit of the doubt, I end up seeing videos like this. The truth is that The View probably would never invite any our pastors on that show because they wouldn’t be able to bully them into submission. Instead they invite a superstar mega church pastor because his popularity (and $) is on the line for speaking the truth.

  57. JMAYS Says:

    Why does he even go on these shows? He can’t even speak his lies with conviction. How does he sleep at night?

  58. ElderLS Says:

    J.O. said…”HE doesn’t believe that homosexuality is GOD’S best”! GOD’S Holy Word says that it is an Abomination & GOD Detests it (LEV. 18:22; LEV. 20:13; 1 COR. 6:9; 1 TIM. 1:10)! J.O. preaches the doctrine of “Go along 2 get along”!!! He’s a heretic! And Whoopi Goldberg, she’s trying hard to “justi-lie” her chosen life-style…remember the Color Purple! Those VIEW women got J.O. cornered (they’re hitting from all angles) with their homosexual questions and he’s sweating like a hooker in church!

  59. Kim Worthy Says:

    Joel Olsteen was intimidated by the too bullies on the view, Whoopi and Joy. Ditto on the scary little man.

  60. just mess Says:

    I just wish that someone will have the nerve to invite a real minister to this show to shut all those hacks up. If you fight their inclusion with the word I trully believe that they will be speachless for a change.

    • nika Says:

      Thats what I am saying! They would have left Joel alone. And he would have nothing to worry to about…because they would have no more questions. Gods word is ALWAYS RIGHT!!

    • CeeDee Says:

      Sherri Shepard is supposed to be a minister (every Christian is!), as she was on The 700 Club as a professed Christian, promoting her book (the cover of which shows major cleavage!). Furthermore, she’s close friends, as was stated on 700, with Kristi—one of Pat Robertson’s co-anchors. So, why is it that Sherri didn’t represent?? OK, I really do know the answer… That’s alright— God’s got this covered— fret not for an awakening to God’s coming!

    Joel if this is the Best you can do then please sit down and shut up!

  62. Dennisa Says:

    It’s called COMPROMISE!!!! Sad to watch him not stand on what God’s Word says on homosexuality and sin period! Then he allows them to say God made a mistake? I’m unsure if there was more to this clip but from what I saw it was a mess. What does he mean it’s not God’s Best??????????????????????? It’s not of GOD period!!!! Sin is sin and people need to understand who CHRIST IS, and what his purpose is…he nailed SIN to the cross so we could make a conscious decision to choose life and not death! LIVING IN WILLFUL SIN IS A CHOICE NO MATTER HOW IT BECAME ATTACHED TO YOU! I had a discussion with a friend today on her view of people being born gay, do I believe that? YES I do because I believe in Generational curses which have been passed down so yes different spirits can be attached to you from previous generations BUT you do not have to STAY that way. DELIVERANCE IS AVAILABLE THROUGH CHRIST JESUS!

    No backbone at all. It is sad when Bill O’Reilly had more strength to stand on that very same show….wow…

      exactly! At least Bill O’Reilly was able to man up and take a stand. Had Whoopi & Joy Behar walking out on him, but oh well, he had to tell the truth!

  64. Minister Adriane Says:

    I don’t watch this show because it is 5 people all talking at the same time trying to get their own opinion across as the truth. Their guests are stripped of any dignity when they disagree with what they are saying and believing.

    All I can say right now is 1 Timothy 6:1-5 for the people at Lakewood Church. There are more scriptures, but I don’t want to take up all the space for comments! :-)

  65. SamJ Says:

    This is sick!!! But I’m not surprised at this weak man, a pastor over thousands of lives!!! Can’t he simply say that the Bible, God’s Holy Word, condemns homosexuality as an abominable sin. People in that lifestyle need to acknowledge that it’s a sinful lifestyle and God wants them to repent and turn to Christ for salvation. Otherwise they will go to hell like all other sinners. Then give 2 or 3 scriptures to back up the point. Rom 6:23, Rom 10:9-10, Rev 21:8. What a wasted opportunity but I can’t expect any better from a pastor who is popular by secular standards. The apostasy continues. So no surprises as God allows these men to be exposed as to who they really are – antiChrist pastors. Pastor Olsten had better go back and study Jerimiah 23 about the warning to shepherds who mislead the sheep.

  66. Jeanne Says:

    JELLYBACK IS RIGHT! No other words can describe that wimp of a so-called Christian.

  67. TG Says:

    I feel that he did ok!!!! Maybe he was nervous but he still told them that he don’t condone that life style and that’s all that matters. Now a little boldness would’ve been a little better. We as christians think that inorder to get God’s word across, we must have a stinking attitude and be overly aggressive!!! That’s what we call a stand, which it is not!!! It doesn’t matter how we tell the truth as long as we tell it!!! Now Im not a big follower of him myself, however I appreciate the fact that he told him that he do not condone that lifestyle.

    • SOLOVED Says:

      that’s cool, and you are right everybody (all) saints don’t have attitudes. It’s not how you say it, but what you say that matters..God Bless

        • KELLIE Says:

          TG are you kidding me…so what would you call Jesus for using a whip and overturning the money changers tables…you would probably call for his arrest…there is something called righteous indignation for the Word of God and the truth…you have to speak with boldness, power and authority…When Jesus spoke He commanded your attention even if you don’t like what He’s saying…These silly women on the view were aggressive in bringing their point across and JO seemed like the wimp…It’s time we stand firm, fight the good fight of faith, and defend the gospel of Jesus Christ…If we fail to defend and acknowledge Him before men, he won’t acknowledge and defend us before God…

          • TG Says:

    • Mike J. Says:

      There are people who aren’t saved that don’t condone that lifestyle…….. I agree you don’t have to have an attitude, but the truth must be preached. There are a lot of people that aren’t/weren’t saved that lived high moral lifestyles (aka Mother Teresa), but still never accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and personal Saviour. His job should be to preach the truth of the Gospel; the “true” Word will bring condemnation and cause repentance. This is one of the major reasons people aren’t saved and being saved. The TRUTH of the Gospel is not being presented. Just a bunch of theological words combined with motivational speaking techniques and you have your modern day sermon!!!!

      • TG Says:

        You are absolutely correct!!! If it was me I would be polite but I would tell them the truth as well!!! Joel did say that God wouldn’t support something that he doesn’t agree with himself!!! I believe that Joel told them that it’s not right!! Maybe people’s expectation was for him to say it a certain way or be more speciffic!!! I can agree with that to an extent. When you’re dealing with sinners, you have to be prayerful so God can give you that boldness and confidence!!! Cause it can be a very nervous situation when you’re the only one trying to stand for what is right and there like f 5 sinners around you!!!

        REPLY: This is not about Joel being passive with this interview but EVERY INTERVIEW HE DOES where there is opposition.

          • TG Says:

            And that’s the reason I wasn’t on there either LOL!!!!! I was just giving him the benefit of the doubt because he did seem a little nervous!!!! I do believe he compromises because he dont even mention the word “sin”. So dont get me wrong, Im not defending his passiveness or anything, im just saying that sometimes when your surrounded you can feel like you’re in a hot seat!!! That’s all!!! I do agree and get where you are coming from!!!

  68. Robert Murrell Says:

    Joy Behar “Maybe God made a mistake”. Are you serious??? The bible says that every good and perfect gift comes down from the Father of lights. God is light and there is no darkness in Him. God’s best, why can’t Joel Osteen stand for Truth, oh I forgot he really isn’t saved just making proselytes. Jesus said that you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. In God there is no wishy washy stuff. When you are a false prophet such as Joel Osteen, then all you’ll every preach is heresy, and what you think the Bible says instead of studying to show yourself approved of a workman that needeth be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth. I believe what is happening is so called “Christians” are making the Bible say what they want it to say. Get saved,ask the Lord what his word says and please get a Bible dictionary and please stop guessing

      He could’ve made it right from his appearance on Larry King but no…smh…this really does just get worse and worse…

    • Bryann Says:

      This man is no Pastor ! Joel stop calling yourself Pastor and call yourself motivational speaker ! This guy refuses to call homosexuality sin ! I believe the reason is because he has so many homosexuals attending his church that he doesn’t want to offend and lose that crowd ! I know this from when I met one of his members here in Houston that is lesbian ! She told me that she likes his church because he doesn’t judge ! I stopped her and told her that he should be preaching the word of God and not worrying if he is offending people ! Of course she did not want to listen after that !

        • Anita Says:

          Very true! And I used to really like Isreal’s music too! His new album reminds me of Mary Mary, Kirk, Tye, Fred and the rest, just watered-down, bump your head to it, feel-good music, void of any depth or power!! So unlike his first few records, its just really sad, but when you hang around dogs long enough you’re bound to get fleas sooner or later.

    all of this “God’s best” talk, why won’t he just come out and say it’s sin??? He is too concerned with what other’s think and you can’t be focused on that if you’re going to preach the Gospel. That was a perfect opportunity to share the Gospel…but then again he preaches false doctrine so this is no surprise…smh. I noticed how Whoopi was quick to say inclusion…we know what her and Joy Behar’s agendas are…
