Hasn't Joel Osteen's focus changed from Christ to money?

Question

No charities, no outreach, no community involvement - $1 million a week in donations, and he flies first class with wife from his "prosperity gospel" and won't get political or deal with middle class issues.

Answer 1

No, it hasn't changed.  Its always been money.  

Answer 2

i see him as fluff...Hes nice but Christians need stronger sermons..

Answer 3

He does need prayer, yes.

Answer 4

all churches are about the money

Answer 5

Yes he has. He is a great big sinner. He's the devil himself. If I earned that much money, all those children that are starving would have food in their bellies.

Answer 6

Ya, he went from crying for christ, to laughing all the way to the bank.

Answer 7

I can't stand him! He rarely uses the bible to teach anything and yes his focus in on money.  

Answer 8

It was always about money for these people. How do you think the catholics could afford to build cathedrals?

Answer 9

Yeah hes more about commercialism and self help books than religion.  It was either 20/20 or 60 minutes that did a segment on this.  It was quite entertaining to say the least.... They were busting him on all the things that he does and he was getting so embarrassed and flustered.  Just seeing him try to deny it was priceless.

Answer 10

i think i agree, i thought he was a pretty decent guy but i listened to several of his talks and they are mostly self help advice. Not very religious or based on doctrine. He's a good speaker and teaches good principles but it's just like any other mega church. Full of money and little religion. I'll stick with Christ and his church.

Answer 11

That's all churches are....money making tools

People are so gullible
