    Hey BEAT family! We’re back to our normal Tuesday and Friday schedule. I needed to take some time in May to refocus on a few other things but I’m back and ready now. I know this video is a little longer than normal but it’s a very controversial subject and I wanted to give a thorough reply. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

      I agree with Harry, he's a motivational speaker.
      I used to be in Network Marketing, and people like him are a staple to many of them because he affirms things that they already believe and are taught. Therefore, he's a shoe in!
      I got caught up in it as well. I even met Joel and shook his hand becauseof a NM event a lot of us went to!
      Thank God that HE delivered me from that because I started to realize that what he was preaching & teaching, was all a part of the new age movement.
      He never talks of sin or hell, because it's uncomfortable to him and if he does, he'll lose some of his following.
      Allen, thank you for you ministry and your videos! They ARE making an impact in my life as well as many others. Many Blessings and much love, my Brother.

      Where did Jesus preach on sin and hell? And HOW do you know what the preacher said - did he say it to you?
      The ONLY time Jesus made an issue of SIN and hell was with the religious - like you maybe?
      Church, and in particular SUNDAY, is and was from the beginning of the NT church, NOT a day of evangelism but of corporate worship - there is NO reason to attack any minister for being BIBLICAL.
      If the church did what the early church did - healing the sick and preaching the gospel, with signs and wonders following - the CHURCH could go back to ONLY being a worship Sunday.
      YOUR complaint is anti-Biblical on every front.
      I have no wonder if your even accept the BIBLE as the WORD of GOD - DO you speak in TONGUES - the BIBLE assumes everyone that is BORN again does. DO YOU?
      DO you heal the sick and see signs and wonders that OPEN the way to show GOD's love to the lost?
      IF you are NOT living a BIBLICAL Christian life - why would it matter WHAT your church service was like?
      DO you go just to feel superior to all the poor lost sinners?
      Many do.
      DO you enjoy a dose of self-flagellation every so often??
      Many do.
      IF you are NOT interested in living as a BIBLICAL Christian why do you complain?
      The WORDS of Jesus are important:
      " 15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 The one who believes and is baptized will be saved, but the one who does not believe will be condemned. 17 These signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands, and whatever poison they drink will not harm them; they will place their hands on the sick and they will be well.” 19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. 20 They went out and proclaimed everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word through the accompanying signs."
      "I left a church like his. When someone ask the preacher why he didn't preach on sin and hell his reply is I don't like scaring people and making them feel bad about themselves. uh..I would much rather be scared into heaven then be sweet talked into hell."
      Are you sure you aren't telling a partial story? Your statement is absurd - FEW if any are ever are scared into heaven - those self-preservation, selfish 'converts' - 'THIS is MY lifesaver in case I DIE' types often do LITTLE if anything for the Kingdom of GOD. I doubt MOST are really saved.
      Those that are attracted by the Grace and LOVE of Jesus, and spend hours in WORSHIP and communion with him, are the ones that stick it out and remain faithful all their lives.
      And it is for them that SUNDAY worship exists.

      What does that mean? It's far too ambiguous to mean anything.
      The FACT of the SCRIPTURE I produced and the example of CHRIST - who we are supposed to follow - overrides the need for self-flagellation in Calvinist Christians.
      The SCRIPTURE also rejects the constant salvation message being preached in the believers WORSHIP time:
      Heb 5:13~ " 13 For everyone who lives on milk is inexperienced in the message of righteousness because he is an infant. 14 But solid food is for the mature, whose perceptions are trained by practice to discern both good and evil.
      6 :1Therefore we must progress beyond the elementary instructions about Christ and move on to maturity, not laying this foundation again: repentance from dead works and faith in God, 2 teaching about ritual washings [baptisms], laying on of hands, resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3 And this is what we intend to do, if God permits.

      That's NOT likely discernment my friend. I don't KNOW what it BUT the HOLY Spirit would never give you a bad feeling about the WORD of GOD being preached.
      HOW do you know this was discernment? Have you ever been baptized in the HOLY SPIRIT as in Acts 2: 4 and other places?? DO you speak in tongues as Jesus said believers WOULD in Mark 16, and in 1 cor 12 - 15 and other places?- IF you do NOT have the elementary introduction to the Spirit of GOD, why would you rely on your 'feelings' as support for your opinion?

      His PREACHING is MUCH like Jesus' - he is a FRIEND to sinners - JESUS only ever railed against sin to the RELIGIOUS hypocrites - weekly haranguing the SAVED about sin is SPIRITUAL abuse, and a waste of time.
      The BIBLE (Heb) says that we are to go ON past the basics of faith - so HOW then can you JUSTIFY your attack on Joel?
      YOU cannot - NO scripture supports your slander.

    Easter 2014 (I believe) - I watched joel osteen every Sunday, I was homeless living on someone else's couch, didn't attend church but wanted to hear the word and gospel. I watched for a while, and Joel osteen is a great motivational speaker (think Tony robbins) but that all came to a crashing halt when that easter I felt convicted by God, so I turned in to joel's show that night. It was not an "easter special" and he did not mention Jesus once that night. He didn't read scripture, and did not mention the resurrection at all. I was flabbergasted and thought maybe it was a rerun? Nope. What did he talk about that night you ask? Prosperity and how "if you come to it he will bring you through it" ... His tag line for the last few weeks. That was as close to Jesus as he got that night. Needless to say the blinders finally came off and I swore him off ever since. Saddens me to know so many people believe he is a godly man. He's a wolf in sheep's clothing because of how he interprets and spreads his word. Here's a question for the joel osteen fans, why would a man of God stand in front of a revolving earth statue? Why would there be no cross or crucifix but you have on full display the world. A worldly man perhaps? What does Jesus say about being worldly? Joel won't tell you...

I am not into the big name dropping pastors or Ministers. We are in a very small church now where we can contact the Pastor if we need to! I prefer to contact my Heavenly Father! I hear His voice myself! It was different! He is a kind person. But I would never send a new believer to sit under him! That’s where I stand! Because he has become a people pleaser! We must fear God not man! God Bless you!

It's been 12 years, he was wrong & by saying things like that you're cursing someone, this why I rebuked it.
      Unfortunately there are so many old folks who go to that church just because they've gone for 2 decades even though the previous pastor was a good one & the one who came after is just trying not to step on any toes (a clear change, which they should be able to notice).

      It depends on how the money is earned. Osteen has not committed any crimes to my knowledge, and much of his wealth comes from book sales. The issue is that his kind of theology is more lucrative. I would blame those who seek his surface-level sermons and fund that ministry, too.

    • @Musicienne-DAB1995
      @Musicienne-DAB1995 3 года назад +3

      @Ruth Bosquet Agreed. There's nothing wrong with writing a book that sells millions, or having a successful business with a turnover of millions. As much as I profoundly disagree with Joel Osteen's teachings, he is not forcing people to attend his sermons or buy his books and other merchandise. I don't care if he has $40 million in theory. What bothers me is the materialism of his teachings, and his slender use-- and more often, misuse-- of the Bible in order to support those teachings. I can understand if he is trying to ground Biblical principles in everyday life, but he more often begins with a materialistic attainment and then stuffs in Bible verses out of context to support that foregone conclusion. Too often, the message is about supernatural blessings, new jobs, marriage, healing... None of these things are innately bad, and there's nothing wrong with asking the Lord for help in those areas. However, that isn't the focus, and good results are not guaranteed in the Bible. As for Victoria Osteen's claim that God wants us to live extraordinary lives, that is patent nonsense. Has she read Jeremiah?

      This is what's wrong with the American doctrine, that if a person is rich, and keeps it all to him- or herself, it's just fine. No, it is that person's right and responsibility to decide how to handle it before God, but it isn't scripturally honest to say that it is fine with God to hoard money, and not act in love to relieve some suffering that you could help with. No one, no matter how rich, can fix the world, or solve all its material problems, and yet other people's needs are real, and it is sinful to hold on to so much money, ignoring the needs of others, just so you can say your "net _worth"_ is really up there with the rich of this world. Sadly, most churches preach this doctrine of money: they tell the poor that everything they own is God's, not their own, then tell the rich man that everything he owns is his own. They do that to keep the tithes of the rich people coming their way. They try to exact the widow's mite from the poor, but they flatter the rich, so that they can be the ones to benefit when he gives to be seen as a wealthy benefactor, or to adjust his tax burden. In doing so, they don't tell God's truth to either party, and the preachers, themselves, get rich, as many of them are, now.

      Marie G 777 yes, hee teaches a rapture then a second coming of Christ. Scripture says otherwise . This secret Rapture crept into the church in the late 1600's and was disregarded as false. In the latte 1800 and early 1900"s and was reintroduced as wad many doctrines of demons. This is the Period of time right after the great awakening that many of churches suck as the Pentecostal, Mormon, Jehovah's witness started up and bloomed. It is the period of time that humanism and spiritualism became prominent. Anyways back to Allen.
      If you read Joel, Micah other minor prophets as well as three major prophets you will see that Christ is coming back as a firestorm. Everything will melt. The teaching of Allen wants you to believe that if you are taken then the one left will be alive as in at the grindstone. One taken and the other left. But as in the days ood Noah who was taken and who was left. Noah wad taken through the flood. So what happened to those left. They died, right. Well if Jesus is coming in all his glory, and the mountains will melt and he comes as a firestorm then how
      can anyone left live?
      This is why Paul makes sure to remind us that those dead in Christ will rise first and those alive will and musty be changed in a twinkling of an eye to merry oor Lord in the Sky. We must shed this sinful tent. Sinners can not shed their tent and will suffer death. This time of Christ second coming is the resurrection of the just. Daniel which they misread ib this false teaching cookers from the Prophetic 70 week Prophesy and the last week or seven year period. This time frame is about Jesus's earthly ministry, his being cut off after 3 1/2 year and then the last three and half years of the Prophetic week takes us to the stoning of Stephen and the cutting off of the Jewish People. Wr could speak more pin this because Daniel is a big key to understanding Revelations. It is full of Prophesy.
      Also Allen's teaching on Peter's dream of the food, his teaching on tattoos among others.
      The Spirit of God should bring you to all truths, correct?
      Let me ask yoy this?
      In 2nd Timothy 3 :16 what scripture is Paul reminding Timothy about?
      Jesus said he did nor come to destroy the Law, correct?
      He came to fulfill his part. So what ordinances and statues were really nailed to the cross? Who is Jesus? Is he our high Priest? Is he our Lamb? So inn the Torah/ The books of Moses Jesus is the priest, gone are the Levies and laws pertaining the priests. Oops, they're goes half the laws. Also, since Jesus is pour lamb wer no longer sacrifice. Oops gone are those laws. Those are the statues and ordinances talked about in Colossians being nailed to the Cross. Now you are basically down to the Ten Commandments and laws that violate them, i.e. sexual immortality, spiritualism, tattoos, . Read Leviticus and the books of Moses and eliminate all t of the priest and sacrifices and you will have laws, feasts, food laws and the such that where not nailed to the cross.
      Now the worst thing that could have happened is they named it old and new testament. What word they should have used wad covenant. Our part of the covenant had never changed. In fact In Jeremiah and Ezekiel God said he would make a new covenant with his people. He would write his laws in our hearts and noti on tabkes of Stone. Paul refers to this in several epistle and especially in the book of Hebrews. We are a Jew inwardly because it is in our hearts, not one outwardly. . A Jew/spiritual Isreal or Christian? That is another discussion.
      And whay is his teaching on the Sabbath?
      Lastly, wer are to not put stumbling blocks on front of others so they do not fall.
      I hope you see he is just regurgitating mainstream Apostate protestant theology.
      Me myself if Jesus said hee is the word and he walked in the word then how should I walk. That takes us to blind faith to go to scripture like a child and if God says no pork, then no pork. For me If my. Lord says he who heats his word and abides in his word is his people. Question is, is the scriptures really old? Or are they misnamed. Wr can talk about what the word testament really means it is an interesting study.
      If faith is by hearing and hearing is by the word of God then whay word of God was Paul talking about in Romans? Hee also wrestled with explaining the Law, spirit and concluded that wer are not under the law. We establish it. Meaning wer stand on the law, that is our Liberty. Dio wer choose obedience or Lawlessness, who are we a slave to.
      Now one is Justified unto salvation only through Christ. Then we are sanctified in the word. Peter said from faith to faith, light to light. I liken it to an onion skin. Once you. Are both again on he must shed sin layer at a time. David wrote in the 19th Psalm Keep me from presumptuous sin so you may teach me the see grey faults of my heart. If you are not being a workman in the word, going faith to faith, light to light then how can you be taught the secret faults of your heart?
      Allen Parr does not understand this so if he is teaching falsely he wool be held accountable. I do not hate him, I have warned him. For he who teaches the least of the commandments will be called great and what does it say about not teaching? Look what our Lord said.? Matthew 5 is a good start. He talks about the commandments.
      Now let's get to present truth.
      The fourth commandment. Whay day is it? The Catholic Church changed the law under their authority only. Read whay Isaih says in 56 -58 and I the last chapter on the Sabbath.
      Right now there is a Sunday Law working it's way in darkness that will look good, feel good but wool be false. It is working it's way through the secular community so those that are in the Aoostate Christian churches will not putt up a fight for they already believe the Sabbath is Sunday or any day you want. Beware of this Sunday Law.
      This is a lot to digest and a lot to study and pray on. I am just a trumpeter bringing the 3 angels messages of Revelations 14 too the world. Please read this chapter it tells tells who is sealed with the seal of the the living God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the creator. Anything other than this seal is Apostasy and the mark of the Beast. This seal is the same seal God had always sealed his people with. His seal before Babylonian captivity, his seal before crossing the Jordan into the promised land, his seal in 66 ad and his seal in the last days.

      Wouldn't it be wonderful, though, if Holy Spirit showed up DESPITE all the heresy & false teachings? If a true believer, or 2, walked in & brought Him in? That would be awesome to see that whole auditorium of people being led to the REAL Jesus.

      Elijah Jesus is my Lord and Savior. He is my daddy who listens to me and comforts me. He is the Son of the Living God. He is part of the Trinity of Father Son and Holy Spirit . He was born of the Virgin Mary, was crucified for my sins, died, was resurrected and ascended to heaven. His birth was foretold by the prophets and He sits in heaven. He has been with me and besides me through all my life. I can always depend on him and not family or friends. He is everything to me. I pray to the Father in Jesus name and ask the Holy Spirit for help me not to yield to temptation and deliver us/me from the evil one. I do not pray to anyone else and pray directly to Our Father. I hope this helps.

    I started my walk and got saved with JO, followed by Joyce Meyer and Creflo Dollar. As a new saved person, is what i needed. Then God took me to higher places. I now look back and can see how much i have grown. I would never bash them, the body has many organs and works different. Same as the church, but it is our job to continue to climb the latter and continue to grow, after all, the Holy Spirit should be our main guide, not men.

      I still watch Joyce, she is not all "smiles and life is easy when you accept Christ." She doesn't make a penny off her sermons. All authors make money from book sales. She has never denied Christ that I have seen. The best anyone has against her is her statement on where Jesus went when He "descended to hell/the dead." My goodness, the Bible isn't crystal clear on that, to the point where different denominations phrase it differently. Legalism at its finest. :( I went to church my entire childhood and was never encouraged to read further in my Bible. It was boring and unrelatable as presented to me. I wish I had known Joyce back then. And Allen. And the Bible Project. And AoC Network. And Lion of Judah, etc., etc.

Stop letting these youtube preachers like this dude claim what he can not prove! Guess what satan does consistently yeah you guessed it falsely accuse the brethren!

    Yeah, I felt like at the very beginning of my walk, some of his teachings helped me understand some of the basics (which truthfully fed my flesh), but I quickly transitioned towards teachings that fed my spirit, and that’s where I found a powerful, deeper revelation of Jesus Christ.
    The answer is NO.

      Deborrah Barker Good question! The reason why I say he’s a no from my perspective is because when I was new (and very young) in my faith, I just wanted to feel good about myself. But when I started attending my home church (and reading the Word myself), I saw that Joel’s teachings are surface level and didn’t help me grow to the level I knew God wanted me to grow. If someone wants a “general” understanding of the character of God (his Goodness), Joel’s sermons would help with that to START, however, we should get to a place where we should desire to know much more about Him through a deeper understanding.

I’ve seen so many false teachers saying they are “Christians” but are twisting Gods word to appease the culture which is so infuriating. But man what they will have to face with all the sheep they are leading astray. I pray for those who think that you can be a Christian who is practicing homosexuality or a Christian who practices/follows a false teacher, or getting a divorce etc. that their eyes will be open to HIS truth. That chains will be broken and true repentance will happen!
