Golly, you'd think that Matthew 25:42-45 would be a bit more inconvenient and maybe give people some pause.

Reckon that's expecting too much, though.

Oh but Osteen doesn't preach that part of the Bible.

Are these liberals also harassing imans for not opening their mosques during the flood?

I didn't always agree with you, but you used to at least be reasonable.

You have turned into a parody of yourself.

That's not the point. The point is that this is literally what churches are set up to do, and it's a testament to how fake he is when he doesn't even feel obligated to help, which any Christian in that situation should.

Simple as that. The excuse from Lakewood seems to be that there's a local convention center where folks can go.

But. You. Are. A. Church. I'll be damned if Jesus turns the faithful away during a crisis situation.

It's in the thick of the floods, people might as well stay in their house rather than risking going there.


Yeah, like I stated.

It appears to be around major flooding..

Believe it or not some users on CE don't believe their churches should be used to house the homeless/needy.

There was a kinda nasty thread about being upset their Catholic Church housed "worthless" people.


I mean I can see there being concerns about unfettered access by anyone who walks in, but during hurricane situations with lots of displaced people, I don't know how you could not help in whatever way you could.


Would you open your home or business to strangers?


If my home or business was actually an arena that fit 16,000 people and there was a ongoing national disaster in my area, yes.

I don't know how anyone would think this is something Jesus would be okay with. It's as simple as this, if Jesus was operating a church with these resources, would he open his doors or turn people away? Unless the streets are literally impassible, I can't imagine the legitimate, godly purpose of having the type of facilities he has if you're not going to use them to help innocent needy people during an emergency. You have all that space and call your place a house of God and yourself a man of god, yet you do nothing?

This alone will keep him out of the Kingdom if there is one.

You're right, this is clear as crystal. He should be ashamed. And if in his heart he's a true believer and not just a religious snake-oil salesman, he should be terrified at the effect this'll have on his holy points. When a fast talking furniture salesman is outdoing a pastor on Christian charity, there's a problem.

2. Admiral is such a garbage parody of himself. Did he really need to "BUT BUT LIBERALS AND MUSLIMS!" in this topic? I hope he didn't actually get modded but deleted his own post out of pure and utter shame.

Oh I never said he did, that's between him and God. What I do know is that if he truly does have faith then he will be judged, but he won't be in hell. However, if he truly did have faith then I see no reason why he wouldn't be trying to do everything in his power to help those people, because he would have conviction.

He's preaching the wrong message though. All he does is preach to tickle the ears, make people feel better about themselves. The Bible warns about preachers like that because they aren't doing their job in God's eyes. That's why Osteen is being lambasted.
