wiffleball 4,642 Posted January 29 Friend of mine has a hard-on for Joel osteen. Swears he's a snazzier version of Jesus Christ himself I think. Not that I'm going to sway anybody's mind, but I happen to mention Joel's fantastic no visitors policy when he was flooding in Houston while mattress Mack did more good than the next 100 guys combined. She really came unhinged when I mentioned his $300,000 sports car. There's nothing in the Bible that says being rich is a sin! Okay, I think they're kinda is. Maybe go back and reread the parable about the widow with two coins versus the hot shot with all the money. But still, I'm not here to demonize wealth. Hell, I'm a little jealous. I don't care a lot jealous. But there's a difference between living well and living ostentatiously over the top wealthy. Dude literally bought the Compaq center from the rockets. And apparently, just recently paid off $100 million dollar loan on the beast. Osteen is an affable speaker. And there was a period where I listened to him every weekend on the treadmill. (What he was doing on the treadmill I'm not really sure.) Really don't understand the blind unfailing unflinching love for guys like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weepaws 2,460 Posted January 30 Being rich isn’t a sin, the love or desire of any more than Jesus is a sin. Amen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
