believe their are many paths.” ~ Joel Osteen

Are there “many paths” to Jesus? The Bible never speaks with such language. So, no.

OPRAH TO OSTEEN:
“So here’s the big question: are there many paths to get to the one God?”

OSTEEN:
“I believe that Jesus is the way to the one God. But I believe there are many paths to Jesus. You don’t know how Jesus would reveal Himself to somebody, so I’m not into excluding people. Jesus can reveal Himself to anybody.”

Notice how Osteen is attempting to please everybody but he will never please or entice the true believer in the LORD Jesus Christ with this evil deceptive language and intentioned refusal to be resolute in his speech. In other words, Osteen is saying that “Jesus” may reveal Himself in the form of the pope, the catholic church, Buddha, Mohammed, Hare Krishna, etc.  The demon that is in complete control of him is spewing out confusion which we know is not of God (1 Corinthians 14:33).  “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.” (1 Corinthians 14:33) This confusion Osteen is operating in clearly tells us that he is “not of God.” Listen to Jesus Christ my friend:

“He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.” John 8:47

Who did Jesus just tell us is “of God” and “not of God”? Read John 8:47 above carefully again.

So Osteen says “I believe their are many paths.” Getting saved after reading a Gospel tract, in a church meeting, at a tent meeting, etc., are different methods or venues or places true born again believers repented and were saved. True. Yet, this is not what Osteen is saying. He uses the word “path” for a reason. A different “path” leads one to believe there is someone other than Jesus Christ in salvation’s equation and that God Himself can’t find you Himself and so He somehow needs help. Osteen speaks as if there is another way and yet Christ says He’s the only “way,” not “a way” but “the way.” (John 14:6) Jesus Christ is exclusively the world’s only Savior. Osteen’s choice of words is consistent with all of his TV interviews with Larry King, etc. Just watch and listen closely. The “spirit of antichrist” is on him. No where is he seen saying Jesus is the only way to God. He’s always doing everything he can in word and demeanor to include everyone in the salvation plan of God when most don’t want to be in it. In doing this Osteen is sending millions to hell whom he could have pointed to the one and only LORD and Savior who says:

“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening (devouring) wolves.” Matthew 7:13-15

Okay the Bible tells us that the LORD never changes and that “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” (Hebrews 13:8) So, we have on record and can observe that the Son of God dealt with so many people who came to Him. WHERE O WHERE in the 4 glorious Gospels do we once see Christ sending a sinful, lost seeking soul to someone else in order to get back around to Him somehow? Nice try Joel. No, Jesus commanded that men come directly to Him – “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”(Matthew 11:28-30) … Check this out in Hebrews 1:

“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had BY HIMSELF purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;” Hebrews 1:1-3

You see, Jesus needed no help from anyone. He is all sufficient, all God! Anytime any person or religion seeks to add anything or anyone to Christ in the salvation equation, you know of a certainty that such a person is an antichrist and operating under the control of “the spirit of antichrist.” (1 John 4:1-3) Anti in the Bible word “antichrist” means in place of. That is, anything or anyone put in place of Christ or any suggestion that the KING of all kings needed help from a depraved sinner to redeem His fallen creation is blasphemy. This is Satan’s attempt to steal the glory due only to Jesus Christ for our redemption.

In the divine equation, let’s do the math okay. God your calculator handy? Add all this up:

“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;” 1 Timothy 2:5

Any questions?

There is no reconciliation at all between the way Jesus and His apostles lived and preach and the way the Osteen’s live and preach. Completely different lives and another message which makes it a false gospel … they are “accursed” (Galatians 1:6-9).

We know when “that spirit of antichrist” is working through a rebel when he speaks contrary to God’s Word (John 8:47; 1 John 4:3). “That spirit of antichrist”anti (in place of) Christ is anything that contradicts His what God’s Word says, working to subvert divinely stated truth while posing as Christ’s minister (2 Corinthians 11:12-15).

FEEDBACK:

He is so blind, how can any person that calls themselves a Christian be fooled by this? well only if they are blind too!!! so sad… he even admitted in his interview with George Stromboulis that his favorite answer to tell people is /I Don’t Know’.” Sandra C.

Teach the Bible [podcast]


JESUS IS COMING AND THE TRUE BODY OF CHRIST IS “HOLDING FORTH (BOLDLY DECLARING) THE WORD OF LIFE”

Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.” Philippians 2:16

WHEN you speak God’s Word, you are speaking divine authority.

“These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.” Titus 2:15

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Matthew 28:18-20

“That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.” Philemon 1:6

“Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:16

Nourishing the Body of Christ

“If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.” 1 Timothy 4:6

“All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.” Proverbs 15:15

The best way to learn is to teach.

HOW well do you know your way around in God’s Word?

Jesus knew His way around God’s Word. Do you? If not, why not?

“And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he FOUND the place where it was written,” Luke 4:17 

The disciple of Christ must daily and diligently search, study, and learn God’s Word in light of His Great Commission command to us to teach His Word to others (Matthew 28:18-20). Our ability to minister is in large part based on our knowledge of God’s Word or the ability to navigate God’s Word (King James Bible).

MAKE THE DIFFERENCE – OBEY GOD, “PREACH THE WORD.” (2 TIMOTHY 4:2)  

Tip: Always know WHERE you are reading in God’s Word – chapter and verse. You’ll be surprised at the repertoire that begins to build, making you, like Jesus, a good navigator of our LORD’s Word as you preach His Word (Luke 4:17).

Have you ever pondered why there is little or no Scripture being used when listening to someone pretending to be speaking about the LORD? You should wonder (Matthew 7:16, 20; 1 John 4:1).

“Preach the word” is the divine mandate, command (2 Timothy 4:2).

Let us cease to pretend that we represent the LORD when everything we say isn’t coming straight out of His Word. Read that again please.

“If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles (written Word) of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” 1 Peter 4:11

Think God is calling you to serve? Good. If He has saved you, He has called you (Ephesians 2:8-10; 4:7). Get lost in His Word every day (Jeremiah 15:16). Read it (Revelation 1:3). Study it (2 Timothy 2:15). Memorize it (Proverbs 4:4). Meditate upon it day and night (Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1). THAT’s your prep for ministry, not going to an antichrist seminary. Jesus inducted you into His school of the Holy Ghost and Word the moment He saved you.

“As I was listening I was thinking of Paul. Who was a very educated man in the law. But after he was saved he spent three years being taught exclusively by the Lord Jesus Himself. And he says he “conferred not with flesh and blood.” But he was taught “by the revelation of Jesus Christ.” (Gal 1:12-18). All of us should be taught by the Lord in His Word and not learned through mere men or books. But by a direct revelation from the Lord Jesus Christ! Jesus is The Word of God (John 1:1, Rev 19:13).” Karen Cochran

WHEN PARENTS GET OLD …

author unknown

WHEN PARENTS GET OLD …

“Let them grow old with the same love that they let you grow … let them speak and tell repeated stories with the same patience and interest that they heard yours as a child … let them overcome, like so many times when they let you win … let them enjoy their friends just as they let you … let them enjoy the talks with their grandchildren, because they see you in them … let them enjoy living among the objects that have accompanied them for a long time, because they suffer when they feel that you tear pieces of this life away … let them be wrong, like so many times you have been wrong and they didn’t embarrass you by correcting you …

LET THEM LIVE and try to make them happy the last stretch of the path they have left to go; give them your hand, just like they gave you their hand when you started your path!

(“Honor your mother and father and your days shall be long upon the earth”.) – God”

“Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 2 Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) 3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.” Ephesians 6:1-3

Karen Cochran writes:

“A few years ago the Lord spoke to me and I heard honor your Father and Mother. I didn’t know that my Mom would be moving close to me in a few months and I would become her primary helper. It has been one of the biggest challenges of my life because she has dementia and isn’t always kind. I have had to come home many nights and sit at the feet of Jesus and ask forgiveness because I was not like Jesus to her. Then I go back everyday because the Lord commands us to Honor our Mother. He didn’t promise it would be easy. I have to be like Jesus and say Father forgive them for they know not what they do. Luke 23: 34 .As people who have dementia do not know what they are doing or saying.”

Sharing how God is working in her life concerning her relationship with her beloved mother, Karen Cochran writes:

“I had to die to being right. Pride! How could I love her (my mother) with the love of Jesus? How would she see Jesus in me? She would not see Him in me in all my pride and arrogance! By being full of pride, all I did was stir up strife. Proverbs 10:12 ‘Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.’ Because she would retaliate and would be angry. I had to learn to keep my mouth shut. And it has completely changed our relationship. But first the Lord had to change me and cleanse me from my ‘know it all’ attitude and my pride. I went to the Lord and said ‘why is she (my mother) so mean to me’. The Lord straightened me out quick. It was me not her! I couldn’t control her! All I could do was allow God to root out what was sin in me.”

“Being broken to the core has been a continuous prayer for me. Otherwise my stone heart will hurt someone else that does not deserve to be hurt. Jesus had shown me my resentment against my parents. As I went to their grave, Jesus begin to say, ‘If they hadn’t taken you to Jesus at an early age, you wouldn’t be where you are now.’ I felt all the bitterness, anger, and hatred leave. How gracious is our Savior!” Thomas Cochran
