       This is not a hit piece. I just think that it can be really
       helpful to evaluate Joel Osteen's extremely popular teaching
       through the eyes of a teacher who cares an awful lot about
       representing the Bible properly.
       We often hear of problems with teachers when someone gathers
       just the most offensive, problematic or otherwise inflammatory
       parts of their teachings and evaluates them. I am not doing that
       today.
       I'm grabbing a recent, random Joel Osteen sermon to have a
       "typical" example of his teaching. We will look at how he uses
       the Bible, what his general teaching style is and how a
       Christian can evaluate and discern what to accept and reject.

       Agelbert COMMENT:&#128077; AMEN, Pastor Winger. A pop
       "Christian" pretends to want less controversy and more harmony
       among Christians, but in reality they are encouraging
       controversy and doubt about Scripture in order to corrupt
       Christianity into a prosperity preaching heresy. Paul
       &#128330;&#65039; exactly describes pop &#128520; "Christians":
       
       [font=times new roman] I Timothy 6:3-5 English Standard Version
       (ESV)[/font] &#128073; If anyone teaches a different doctrine
       and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ
       and the teaching that accords with godliness, he is puffed up
       with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy
       craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which
       produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, and constant
       friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of
       the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain.
       Agelbert NOTE: For those reading the above who harbor any doubts
       as to what Paul was talking about in regard to the depravity of
       the mind of those who push the "material gain is a blessing to
       be desired and sought out" prosperity preaching heresy, please
       read the rest of that Scripture (see below).
       [font=times new roman] I Timothy 6:6-10 English Standard Version
       (ESV)[/font] &#128073; But godliness with contentment is great
       gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take
       anything out of the world. But if we have food and clothing,
       with these we will be content.
       But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a
       snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge
       people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a
       root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some
       have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with
       many pangs.

       &quot;Why is it, his Holiness must wonder, that Protestants cann
       ot be logical?&quot; 
       By: AGelbert Date: November 30, 2021, 1:53 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Snippets from Page 22 and 23 of 373 pages:
       Few of the faithful in St Peter’s on this festival of the
       apostles realize that over a thousand years ago a decision was
       made to separate the heads of Peter and Paul from their trunks.
       Those heads have been kept ever since in St John Lateran which
       is the pope’s cathedral and the mother-church of Christendom. St
       John Lateran was also built by Constantine next to the Lateran
       palace which he bestowed on the Bishop of Rome.
       By the ancient laws of Rome and the canons of Catholic theology,
       it follows that Peter is not really buried in St Peter’s but
       with Paul in St John Lateran. where the head is, so runs the
       ancient maxim, there is the place of burial. Even today,
       pastoral practice considers the head the most important part of
       the remains. In a case of decapitation or a mangled death, it is
       the head that is anointed with sacred chrism. ... ...
       It is there, strictly speaking, that both apostles are buried
       together. Since St John Lateran is also ‘the Mother and Head of
       all the churches in the city and in the world’ it is surely
       there that the Holy Father should have celebrated mass on the
       festival of St Peter and St Paul.
       There is an over-riding reason why he did not do so.
       The pope says mass with Peter’s trunk beneath his feet. Two
       hundred feet above his head there is something far more
       important than Peter’s remains: words of the Lord. In letters
       five feet high, running round the dome, is the most famous of
       all puns: ‘Tu es petrus, et super hanc petram aedificabo
       ecclesiam meam, et portae inferi non praevalebunt adversus eam’
       - ‘Thou art Peter and upon this Rock I will build my church and
       the gates of hell will not prevail against it.’
       Scholars assume that in the original Aramaic, the pun was
       perfect: Peter and Rock are both Cepha. This is the text that
       forms the background of all Pope John Paul’s thinking. Who would
       doubt that he frequently takes this text, in all humility, for
       his meditation? This text is the reason why pontiffs now prefer
       to celebrate the feast of St Peter and St Paul in St Peter’s,
       rather than in the more obvious place, St John Lateran. For
       Roman pontiffs claim to be successors not of Peter and Paul but
       of Peter alone.
       The New Testament speaks of Peter as the apostle to the Jews and
       Paul as apostle to the Gentiles. But in the pope’s mind, Peter
       was Paul’s superior; Peter had jurisdiction over Paul and the
       other disciples. This authority was given Peter by the Lord
       himself in those words circling the great dome. It is this
       supreme authority that he, John Paul II, has inherited. Why is
       it, his Holiness must wonder, that Protestants cannot be
       logical? Jesus, the Son of God, gave Peter supremacy over the
       church; this supremacy must remain in the church as a permanent
       office; he, John Paul, is the present holder of this office.
       There is, however, another interpretation of this text with a
       better pedigree than most Catholics realize. It may jolt them to
       hear that the great Fathers of the church saw no connection
       between it and the pope. Not one of them applies ‘Thou art
       Peter’ to anyone but Peter.
       One after another they analyse it: Cyprian, Origen, Cyril,
       Hilary, Jerome, Ambrose, Augustine. They are not exactly
       Protestants. Not one of them calls the Bishop of Rome a Rock or
       applies to him specifically the promise of the Keys. This is as
       staggering to Catholics as if they were to find no mention in
       the Fathers of the Holy Spirit or the resurrection of the dead.
       The great pun, the play on words, was applied exclusively to
       Peter.
       The surprises do not stop there. For the Fathers, it is Peter’s
       faith - or the Lord in whom Peter has faith - which is called
       the Rock, not Peter. All the Councils of the church from Nicaea
       in the fourth century to Constance in the fifteenth agree that
       Christ himself is the only foundation of the church, that is,
       the Rock on which the church rests.

       [font=times new roman]2 Thessalonians Chapter 2 verse 9-17 New
       International Version[/font]
       The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how
       Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through
       signs and wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that
       wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because
       they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
       For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they
       will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have
       not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
       But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters
       loved by the Lord, because God chose you as firstfruits to be
       saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through
       belief in the truth. He called you to this through our gospel,
       that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
       So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the
       teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by
       letter.
       May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved
       us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope,
       encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and
       word.

       This, right here, is probably the most powerful
       "name-it-and-claim-it" verse in the Bible.
       Mark 11:23–24 (NASB95)
       “Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up
       and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but
       believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be
       granted him.

       “Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask,
       believe that you have received them, and they will be granted
       you.

       Honestly, I really struggled in prep for this study. At first I
       found myself wanting to just make sure that this passage wasn't
       used for the kind of stuff &#128520; Kenneth Copeland teaches.
       But I sensed that, in my desire to avoid a particular
       interpretation, I might be blinding myself to what the passage
       is saying. So, I took a different approach, one that I try to
       always take but one that was particularly difficult for me to do
       this time around. I took myself out of the debate over
       "name-it-and-claim-it" teaching in the 21st century and instead
       sought to thoroughly understand how this radical passage makes
       sense in the context of Mark and the rest of the New Testament.
       The result has been a really rewarding study on the power of
       prayer and the reality of faith in the midst of suffering. This
       passage doesn't fit "name-it-and-claim-it" and it doesn't fit
       cessationism either. My hope is that I can bring clarity with
       this study and stir up faith. Faith &#128330;&#65039; for
       miracles and faith &#128330;&#65039; for suffering.
