look, i don't know about y'all, but i have learned from Joel that I am like a seed.

I am like a seed that is put in the dirt and the dirt says to me "seed, i am the dirt, and I've got you now. you cannot escape me. i surround you. i enclose you.

but i say to the dirt, though i am firmly planted in your grasp, i will bloom. i will break through your surface because it is in my DNA to persevere. you cannot hold me. you cannot keep me down. For i am a seed.

and i think that it is true for all of us. we are all the seed, and we are surrounded by dirt, but because of the DNA we have, we will get through it on our own. it is how we were made....fully loaded.

woo hoo...

From the parable of the Sower, we find that
the "seed" is the Word of God.

We are the dirt.

We either encompass the seeds of tares
or the seeds of God. The fruit reveals which
we have done.

There is only one "seed" in the parable,
but four kinds of soil.

JO fills us full of empty cliches........................

elastic,

Who or what is the dirt?

Do you come away from Osteen feeling any remorse for your sin? Do you feel God has been glorified through his teaching you, how to "get through it on your own?" We are not made fully loaded as you say. We are fully loaded in sin, yes, and only the regeneration of the Holy Spirit will fully load us to come to God in repentance. After this we no longer place ourselves as #1 as Joel has people do. Please be very careful with this false teaching brother.

I've been stung! Sorry for the confusion. Sadly there are probably some who believe what you were being sarcastic about.

The words "false teaching" and "brother" do not belong in the same sentence.

I should have out a comma in between (teaching, brother), I was referring to elastic as a brother not JO.

Does anyone think that Osteen reminds you of the charater, Mr. Haney of Green Acres?

I will go out on a limb and say that Mr Haney probably has more Biblical training and probably knows more Scripturally than Joel. Then again, Arnold Ziffle from Green Acres probably has more Biblical knowledge then Joel

You know, I think this weekend I have had a change of heart AND BELIEVE J.O. is tuly anointed ~~ he is in the latest issue of the National Enquirer and has a special message for the readers of said magazine!!

I'm not a N.E. reader, but if he's in there, and they're supporting him, then, well, he must be for real!!

Why am I not surprised. Then again, the depth of this theology is right in line with the National Enquirer. Maybe he and Rick Warren can write a companion column

Wow! Sad. But I guess I'm not surprised either.

It's funny I every so often I'll stop at a channel he's on to see his preaching but they all sound like the same thing. Like some kind of re-run.
