Joel Osteen is a fraud and is misleading people down a dark path.
This is what eminent domain exists for.

Well it's like those televangelists that actually spoke on and tried to justify the need for private jets. This is obviously not what true Christianity is about and I'm sure most people realize that. These are just public figures abusing religion for monetary gain.

Same religious philosophy of the private school that I went to in the 1980s. They preached wealth doctrine and everything looked to Victorian era rich tent preachers and nothing to the Bible. Exact same "bad things happen to bad people, rich people are to be worshipped" cult practices.

Not for nothing, but for millions of dollars, I'd be a preacher too.. . . F$%* IT at that point. . .
I know I'd be going to hell for sure too..

And on the same note, I'd send down some bologna & cheese sandwichs and at least help. I wouldn't be a total prick about it.

I heard something about he would only open his doors if the Red Cross was already full. The real Christian thing to do would have been the first one to open the door BEFORE the Red Cross, give them what they need. If you can't fit another soul in, then start telling them to go to the Red Cross.

Thats their choice, but at least the church would be doing what it was originally meant to do.

Exactly. Couldn't agree more with all of your points.

I thought the original goal of the church was as a money grab to help people as they traveled. With the expectation of leaving something of value to the church as a form of gratitude. . . .

The purpose of the church is many things:
- Help imperfect people become more like Christ
- Spread the Good News of the Gospel to everybody.
