I have several family members who think Joel Osteen is quite the man of God, a pastor who speaks the language of the people and helps them keep thier eyes on Jesus in good times and bad. I have always found Joel Osteen to deliver sermons the equivalent of candy corn, whenever I was young I found it somewhat appealing but even for candy its . A few months ago I had the oppurtinity to discuss the many reasons I despise his message after being asked what I think of him by a cousin.(Presents no gospel, a weak God concerned with this life not the next, ect.) Anyways I have found his messages to be nothing appetising to myself and very very very weak theologically, to listen to him is like eating candy corn over steak. But how concerned should I be that many of my family members like him? Concerned enough to possibly ruin a family get together by bringing it up?
Does he only teach a message that like candy lacks nutrition and consuming too much of can cause one to be sick, Or is his message like poison to consumer?
Basically, would Paul say "let him be anathema"??
