Joel Osteen does not teach the Bible. He teaches a watered down version that delves only skin deep. He does not teach about sin, he does not teach that simply going to church and saying Jesus is Lord will not get you to heaven, he does not teach that God indeed hates certain people, he does not teach that even many people who profess Christianity will not make it, he does not teach that you should confess your sins to one another, that you should repent of your evil ways, that quiet times with God are essential... Joel Osteen does not teach the Bible.
