Does anyone know if a 7 year old child can attend a live Paster Joel Osteen Show?

Question

I want to see Joel Osteen live in Washington DC this Friday, but I want to take my daughter who is 7. Does anyone know FOR SURE a child can attend?? I don't want to get there with tickets in hand, and not be able to get in the Verizon Arena.

Answer 1

I thought people of any age can go to church.....You have to buy a ticket for church???????

Answer 2

if you and the the child are a true believer in christ then it wouldn't hurt to take him or her to listen to the presentation

Answer 3

Sure they can go, but will probably be bored unless your kid is into music.  They might enjoy the songs if they can read the words on the overhead.  But the message is a bit much for a 7 year old.

If there is a sponsoring church, call and ask if they have child care.  Otherwise I'd find a babysitter, it's an event for adults, not kids.

Answer 4

She is too young and cannot make an informed decision about the faith.  God say that humanity has free will, give it to her.  Let her choose when she's old enough or you will have done the same as millions of others and manipulated the mind of a child to fit your beliefs.

Answer 5

Ask them when you call to buy the tickets.  

Answer 6

Forget Joel Osteen - that man is no pastor! He does not teach Christ-centered, Bible-based Christianity. Rather, he teaches, "your best life now."

Jesus, on the other hand, taught trials and tribulations for Christians, not your best life now.

Answer 7

why do you want to punish her? just leave her without dessert for a couple of days

Answer 8

Interesting words you've chosen - Joel Osteen Show -

I didn't know children couldn't attend church.

Why do you have to purchace tickets to go to church?  The church I attend is free & anyone can come & be apart of us.

Answer 9

Well, I don't know much of the his teachings, but I don't recommend children being introduced to religion.  They need to be mature enough to think and study about different ideas and beliefs so that they may choose their own path.

Why do you feel it necessary to subject your daughter at this young of an age?

Sorry, I don't know if they allow children or not.  Ask when you call about the tickets.  Or just call the arena itself.

Answer 10

Interesting- do you buy these tickets?
