Heretic Joel Osteen says
“Mormons are True Christians”
FALSE PROPHET WARNING!
Joel Osteen is a false prophet, teaching that Mormons are Christians. The
Bible exposes Mr. Osteen as a wolf in sheep's clothing. I do not condemn
anyone for their sins, for we are all sinners deserving of Hell; however, as
Christians we are commanded to contend for the Christian faith. Joel
Osteen's church in Houston, Texas, boasts of 70,000 visitors per week.
Millions of people worldwide are being influenced by Joel Osteen. For Mr.
Osteen to claim that Mormonism is a Christian religion is a blatant denial
of the Christian faith.
Mormonism is a false religion which denies the deity of Jesus Christ,
teaches Works Salvation and Baptismal Regeneration, teaches that Jesus came
from a planet named Kolob, and teaches that men can become gods. This is
what New Age teaches. These are unbiblical teachings. Joel
Osteen, Rick Warren, are other sinister ministers today are all pawns for the New World Order.
Their goal is to unify the world's religions into a One World ambiguous
religion, to condition the masses of this world to receive the coming
Antichrist.
In
sharp contrast, the Bible proclaims that Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to
Heaven.
2nd Corinthians 11:4, “For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we
have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not
received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear
with him.”
Mormonism has ANOTHER Jesus, and
not the same Jesus taught in the Word of God. Mormonism has ANOTHER Gospel,
and not the same Gospel taught in the Word of God. Joel Osteen
is a Word Faith preacher, an alleged evangelical pastor, who recognizes
Mormons as Christians.
On December 23rd, 2008 on FOX News Sunday
With Chris Wallace, Joel Osteen endorsed the Mormon religion...
Wallace asks
Joel
Osteen:
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.
And so, you know, Mitt
Romney seems like a man of character and integrity to me, and I don't
think he would — anything would stop me from voting for him if that's
what I felt like.
WALLACE:
So, for instance, when people start talking about Joseph Smith, the
founder of the church, and the golden tablets in upstate New York, and
God assumes the shape of a man, do you not get hung up in those
theological issues?
OSTEEN: I
probably don’t get hung up in them because I haven’t really studied them
or thought about them. And you know, I just try to let God be the judge
of that. I mean, I don’t know.
I certainly can’t say that
I agree with everything that I’ve heard about it, but from what I’ve
heard from Mitt, when he says that Christ is his savior, to me that’s a
common bond. (Online
source)
For more on the Mormon view of
Jesus we refer you to
Mormon Church: Deity of Christ. But as you can clearly
see above, Joel Osteen has said Mitt Romney, as well as other Mormons, are
“true Christians.” That is untrue! Mormons are children of the Devil and
still hellbound in their sins. Joseph Smith was a 33rd degree occult
Freemason and founded the Mormon religion in 1830, as part of the New World
Order deception. Likewise, Charles Taze Russell founded the Jehovah's
Witness religion in 1874 and was also a 33rd degree occult Freemason. See,
Religions:
The Occult Connection.
In the
Apprising Ministries article
Joel Osteen: Apprising His Word Faith Teachings
I have clearly
showed those who are looking for the truth that Osteen teaches the
exact same positive confession Word Faith theology and prosperity
gospel as did his late father John, Kenneth “Dad” Hagin (1917-2003),
and which is also currently being preached by Hagin’s dutiful
disciple
Kenneth Copeland and Oneness Pentecostal
T.D. Jakes
for
that matter.
The unique twist
that
Joel
Osteen has added to the mix is the syrupy sweet self-help shtick
of Robert
Schuller cleverly mixed together for his most popular brand of
“Cotton-Candy Christianity.” I am not judging his motivations, or
his heart, so I can only say that Osteen’s found the way to preach
that his god wants you to have: “Heaven while you’re on earth, and
then when you die, you get…ah—well, even more Heaven.”
Sadly another sign of the growing
spiritual blindness and apostasy in the American Christian Church
right now that someone like Joel Osteen is steadily gaining much
acceptance even among mainstream evangelicalism. And this comes
despite a theology completely consistent with other mainstays on the
Trinity Broadcasting Network such as Benny Hinn, Rod Parsley and
“pastor” Paula White.
But the news gets even worse for Joel
Osteen because running on a parallel track the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormon Church) is also beginning to
make inroads toward being considered a legitimate form of
Christianity. As case in point we offer
Mormons and Evangelicals Ready to Worship Together?
But what
does this even have to do with Joel Osteen? Well, I’m so glad you
asked.
Osteen heads up arguably the largest
evangelical church in the country. And there he was on Fox News
Sunday a while back saying that in his mind Mormons are genuine
Christians just as I originally pointed out in
Joel Osteen: Mitt Romney And Mormons Are Christians. But the
saddest news of all may be that now Joel Osteen has pronounced
blessing on the non-Christian cult of the Mormon Church as being
Christian; and to this day there has been no outrage, and no
evangelical leaders publicly calling Osteen to account.
No instead, it’s just business as usual
in the apostatizing American Christian Church saying, Peace,
peace; when there is no peace (Jeremiah 6:14, KJV).
Mormonism is a demented, sicko, heathen,
occult-based, New World Order, demonic religion. Mormonism is rooted in the
demonic Jewish
Kabbalah, which originated from ancient Babylon when the Jews were in
captivity for 70 years. Even Wiccan witches base their beliefs in
Kabbalah...
"Kabbalism is a system of Jewish mysticism and magic and is the foundational element in
modern witchcraft. Virtually all of the great witches and sorcerers of this century were Kabbalists."
-William J. Schnoebelen, The Dark Side of Freemasonry
Truth is stranger than fiction.
Kabbalah is of the Devil and so is Mormonism.
Joel Osteen is a fake, a wolf in sheep's clothing, a false prophet and an
enemy of the cross of Jesus Christ. 2nd Timothy 4:3, “For the time will
come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts
shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears.” We are
living in the Last Days, when people will NOT tolerate Biblically sound
preaching. Joel Osteen preaches psychology and a wishy-washy type of
motivational speaking that is anything but sound doctrine. America is dying
for hell, fire and damnation preaching. The great need of our time is
preaching preachers who SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES (John 5:39).
The damnable Mormon religion began with Joseph
Smith, period. Smith is burning in Hell this moment, which is exactly where
his followers are going when they die. I say this kindly, for my only
concern is the salvation of souls. The Bible plainly warns about those who
come preaching “another Gospel.” Mormonism teaches a false Gospel.
Just as with most false religions, Mormonism
superficially promotes family closeness and helping the community; but when
you shine the Light of God's Word upon their core beliefs, a bizarre system
of sexual perversion, strange doctrines and occult worship are uncovered.
Watch out for those clean-cut, neatly-dressed, courteous young
men, who have an Ivy-league appearance, but who are propagating the blasphemous
teachings of the cult of Mormonism. I would like to share some of their
teachings from their own speakers and writers.
They, according to Apostle Bruce McConkie of the Mormon
Church, do not worship Jesus. McConkie says: "We worship the Father and Him only
and no one else. We do not worship the Son and we do not worship
the Holy Ghost." "Christ worked out his own salvation by worshiping the Father."
(BYU Speech, 3-2-82)
They, according to Mormon author James Talmadge reject
"Justification by Faith." Talmadge said, "The sectarian dogma of justification
by faith alone has exercised an influence of evil." (Articles of Faith,
pg. 479)
They declare, "No salvation without
accepting Joseph Smith." These exact words were written by Joseph Smith in
Doctrines of Salvation 1:189.
Ridicule of God’s grace, Spencer Kimball, the living prophet
of the Mormon Church said: "One of the most fallacious doctrines originated by
Satan and propounded by man, is that man is saved alone by the grace of God;
that belief in Jesus Christ alone is all that is needed for salvation." (Church
News-April 24,1971)
No heaven without Joseph Smith’s approval. Early Mormon
leader Heber Kimball said of Joseph Smith: "He has passed behind the veil, but
there never will be a person in this dispensation enter into the celestial glory
without his approbation." (Journal of Discourses 4:119)
That man becomes God, one of the famous statements in
Mormonism is: "As man is now, God once was; As God is now, man may become."
(Lorenzo) Snow, fifth prophet of the Mormon Church said this. (Ensign
2-82)
When one examines the blasphemous teachings of the Mormon
church, and how ridiculous and unscriptural it is, we recognize the truth that
Satan blinds the minds of naive people, who reject the blessed and simple truth
of the Gospel but embrace the lies of the Wicked One.
END
The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints
Joseph
Smith, Salt Lake City, UT: (Latter-day Saints, LDS, Mormonism) Main body of
Mormonism; recognizes Brigham Young as Smith’s successor. Smith claimed that
the Father and Son appeared to him and called him to restore the true
Church. LDS Church teaches that God the Father was once a man and was
exalted to Godhood. God (and his heavenly Wife) begat billions of spirit
children, the firstborn of whom was Jesus. Lucifer was the leader of God’s
rebellious spirit children.
Those spirits who did not rebel become human
beings in order to begin process potentially leading to exaltation to
Godhood. Jesus, however, became a God while only a spirit. He organized our
world and is Jehovah, the God of Israel. He is a separate and subordinate
God to Elohim, the Father. A distinction is made between the Holy Ghost, who
is a personage of Spirit, and the Holy Spirit. The latter is a divine
energy, force, or spiritual essence that fills the universe and is used by
all three members of the Godhead in the exercise and accomplishment of their
will.
The Church rejects the orthodox doctrine of the
Trinity. It also redefines salvation by grace to refer simply to
resurrection. Almost all humans will be resurrected into one of three
kingdoms of glory, the least of which is far superior to anything known in
this life. Entry into the higher kingdoms, and one’s rank there, depends not
only upon the atonement of Christ, but also upon one’s good works.
Achievement of the highest potential within the
highest kingdom—Godhood—requires complete “obedience to all the laws and
ordinances of the gospel.” The Bible, Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great
Price, and Doctrine and Covenants are all considered scripture.
