		<description>What a sad person you seem to be!  I thank God for those like Joel Osteen who work towards positive ways to help others rather than wasting time trying to find fault in others.</description>

		<description>I am blessed by his words of encouragement.  He talks about God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Sprit.  

We live in an evil world.  Joel is only a man with his weaknesses. If God is using him to bless people to open their Bible, pray, have a thankful spirit and believe in God&#039;s promises so be it.    
I watch it on TV for free, and also received free literature - thank to the business arrangement he has - that those who may never hear of Christ get an opportunity to hear the message.
Also - Joel is never begging for money on TV - he only talks about his own prosperity.....law suits, and challenges of running a &#039;business&#039;.  He is not Mother Theresa.   We are all different and I am glad for Joel.</description>

		<description>i think he has a good approach with religion...i think its great he doesnt have a gigantic cross in the astro-dome like church because it would make current non-blievers comfortable to come in and not so &quot;bam! in your face&quot; type of atmosphere.  this is just my opinion.  you got to admit he has a more subtle approach to preaching than other preachers who are basically &quot;in your face&quot; and uses fear as a means of getting people to understand the teachings.</description>

		<description>I spent a lot of my life studing the bible. I believe that one must on there own read the bible at least one time without other&#039;s interperting it for them.  I have found that many people take little verses and use them in many different ways to support there point of view. That being said.  I also wasted a lot of my time judging others and what they belived.  God will show who he is supporting, he will bless them and prosper them,  everyone in the bible he supported was blessed even if they were big time sinners like David.  Christ is about giving the sinner a chance and if someone is using god to gain he will be knocked down to his knee&#039;s but if God is blessing them, then so be it that is between God and the one being blessed.  We are suppose to go out and spead the Good News!! Not scare people with what no one knows for sure is going to happen.  We are not here to Judge and complain about others not following the law but to live life and the law in a way that brings Glory to God. There are many people who never step foot in church that do that better than church going people who spend there time complaining and being critical of others.  Spend your time getting to know God and God will take care those who are spreading the wrong gospel.  Spread the good news and show the sinners, God is here for them and it is a good thing to be a christian.  And if Joel brings people to the bible how ever her dose it, it is a good thing.</description>

		<description>THE BIBLE SAYS FOR &quot;ALL&quot; TO GO UNTO EARTH AND &quot;PREACH THE GOSPEL&quot;. THE BIBLE
ALSO SAYS TO TITHE 10%. IF EVERYONE TITHED ABUNDANTLY AT &quot;YOUR&quot; CHURCH COULD YOU 
IMAGINE HOW BLESSED YOU WOULD BE? MEMBERS THAT ARE TRULY BELEIVERS IN CHRIST PRAY 
FOR THIER PASTORS TO LEAD THEM AND THEY COME TO CHURCH HUNGRY FOR THE TRUE WORD OF GOD, LED
BY GOD TO GO FEED UPON HIS WORD.  MANY CHURCHES CLOSE DOWN AND SHUT THE DOORS BECAUSE
MEMBERS FAIL TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT..TIME, TITHES,PRAYERS AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER.TRUE BELIEVERS
ARE NOT JEALOUS OF ONE ANOTHER. MOST PEOPLE WHO COMPLAIN , NOT ONLY ABOUT PREACHERS WHO ARE 
BLESSED, BUT DOCTORS AND OTHER PROFESSIONALS AND SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS OWNERS WHO ARE WEALTHY,
ARE JEALOUS AND DO NOTHING . JUST SIT BACK AND COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW HARD THEY HAVE IT...INSTEAD
OF JUMPING UP AND DOING SOMETHING FOR THE GLORY OF GOD. HAVE FAITH IN &quot;GOD&quot;, GOD IS USING JOEL</description>

		<description>to whom ever,

               I COME TO YOU AS A BELIEVER AND FOLLOWER OF JESUS CHRIST, SON OF GOD.
           THE ONLY APOLOGY I HAVE TO YOU WOULD BE MY LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ON HOW TO FORMALLY
           PREPARE THIS STATEMENT...FOR AS A WRITER I AM A NOVICE&#039;S novice...YET GAINING
           MORE AND MORE, LITTLE BY LITTLE THE TOOLS I NEED TO ACCOMPLISH MY GOAL OF
           SUCESSFULLY CONVEYING WHAT&#039;S ON MY MIND...SO MUCH FOR THAT.
               I SAW THE VIDEO PRECEDING THIS REPLY AND HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU...IF I MAY
           QUESTION &quot;YOUR&quot; FAITH. DO YOU HAVE A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS AND IF YOU DO,
           IS THERE ANY DOUBT IN YOUR MIND OR GUILT IN YOUR HEART OVER WHAT YOU DID BY
           INSERTING COMMENTS OF UNCHRISTIAN-LIKE VIEWS ON BROTHER OLSTEEN&#039;S VIDEO...THESE ARE
           CERTAINLY SATONIC. ATHEISTS WILL AGREE WITH YOU ...ARE THESE YOUR FOLLOWERS?
               ISSAC CARRIED ON AFTER ABRAHAM..HOW ABOUT JOSEPH AND JACOB..YOU KNOW THERE IS MORE.
           ON WHO,S BEHALF ARE YOU SPEAKING WHEN PRESENTING CLAIMS OF SCANDALISM AGAINST
           YOUR BROTHER JOEL CARRYING ON HIS FATHER&#039;S MISSION? IS IT YOUR MISSION TO TURN
           DECENT CHRISTIANS AGAINST HIM...AND JUST WHAT ARE YOUR MOTIVES FOR WHAT YOU DO? ARE YOU
           A NAME DROPPER (LARRY KING)...WILL YOU DO ANYTHING TO BRING ATTENTION TO YOURSELF
           ANY WAY YOU CAN NO MATTER WHAT. I DARE YOU TO ASK GOD FOR FORGIVENESS...HE WILL AND
           I DO.       MAY GOD BE &quot;YOUR&quot; ANSWER</description>
