| | Exhibit #249 of why Joel Osteen is the sort of wolf about which Paul was concerned in 2 Timothy. From a Fox News Sunday interview with Chris Wallace:WALLACE: And what about Mitt Romney? And I've got to ask you the question, because it is a question whether it should be or not in this campaign, is a Mormon a true Christian?
OSTEEN: Well, in my mind they are. Mitt Romney has said that he believes in Christ as his savior, and that's what I believe, so, you know, I'm not the one to judge the little details of it. So I believe they are. The little details? Like, oh, I don't know... the person and work of Christ? The sufficiency of Scripture? Lord deliver the Church from such quackery!
If you read the whole interview, I think you'll be stuck by the tentativeness and evasions, without which Osteen can't end a sentence. I thought over and over of the following from 2 Timothy 3:5-7having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. And, later in 4:3-4For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. |
