Osteen: Gays Aren't "God's Best"

Put him on the spot??? They do interviews, it is their job to ask questions! They were very polite to him too. He quoted the Bible?? Where does it say "homosexualit y is not God's best?" You better go back to school, cuz you learned it wrong!  (5 hrs ago | post #214)

Prove it's not. The evidence is against that. On the other hand, religion is definitely a choice.  (5 hrs ago | post #212)

Osteen: Gays Aren't "God's Best"

You are kidding, right? Christ wrote all the Bible? How come he wrote two different stories of the creation on mankind in Genesis? How come he couldn't give a consistent story on when he threw the money changers out of the temple? Why are so many things in the Bible redundant and/or contradictory then? You're just full of it, aren't you?  (5 hrs ago | post #210)

Because She Needed It

If he were a values employee I would tend to agree with you, but he was new to the job and on a probationary period probably. I would imagine that his manager was also pretty pissed about his new employee making a bad impression on a visiting manager too.  (6 hrs ago | post #12)

You could be right about all that. But then again, in this particular case, he could just be young and stupid.  (6 hrs ago | post #11)

Because She Needed It

"The manager came in from one of our other locations. She said she was getting married and I said congratulations! Where is he taking you for a honeymoon?" That pretty much says it all. He WANTED to hear about it when he thought it was a straight marriage, he even asked. How dare she respond!! How dare she make him uncomfortable by living her life!  (16 hrs ago | post #3)

Osteen: Gays Aren't "God's Best"

Yet another person who knows what Joel means, regardless of what Joel actually says! And you know what God and the devil plan, regardless of what the Bible says. I guess there are still prophets huh??? Or maybe you're just arrogant. Assuming you believe the Genesis fairytale, the world needed tp be populated then. Did you notice that it doesn't anymore and the straight people are having lots of babies they can't raise now? Maybe gays ARE part of God's plan, did you ever consider that? And quoting Jeremiah really shows your lack of depth of Biblical understanding. Go back to the beginning of chapter 29 and start reading. It is very specific about who it is talking to and why, and that is not us now. But if you still think it's ok to cherry pick Bible verses and apply them to situations that have nothing to do with the text, let's consider the same chapter of Jeremiah, " 8 Yes, this is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: 'Do not let the prophets and diviners among you deceive you. Do not listen to the dreams you encourage them to have. 9 They are prophesying lies to you in my name. I have not sent them,' declares the LORD."  (16 hrs ago | post #157)

You can watch the whole thing on The View's website. It's the last part of the Nov. 4 show. He doesn't clarify anything though. He can't afford to take too firm a position on anything, there is money at stake!  (17 hrs ago | post #156)

Osteen: Gays Aren't "God's Best"

I'm not sure if this rant is more illiterate or more insane. In any case, it is wrong in so many ways! Please take not that at the very least, Topix will spell check for you. And there is a reason the period was invented. If you really want anyone to pay attention to anything you say, try to say it in a form that people can read it.  (Yesterday | post #126)

Osteen: Gays Aren't "God's Best"

Watch it for yourself: http://www.youtube .com/watch?v=uI-FJ eNvOLg Notice he does not say, "homosexual acts,' as you claim he means. Nor does he say, "homosexual behavior." as you say he means. He says, " Homosexuality is not God's best." That means that according to Joel Osteen, you W1are not God's best either because you are a homosexual. You cannot pretend his words are something they are not, they are right there for us all to hear.  (Saturday | post #110)

Oh, so it doesn't matter what he said,you know what he MEANT to say, just like it doesn't really matter what your Bible actually said in the original version because you know what IT meant to say? And you mean those people who walk away from, "homosexual behavior," then walk around the block and come back to it? You just get more ridiculous as you keep talking!  (Friday Nov 6 | post #73)

Why don't the gays move to Canada?

Why don't you move to the middle east instead?  (Friday Nov 6 | post #2)
