Dismantling Osteen’s theology. Let’s see, how long does it take to quote five verses? His is not theology, it is sociology.

Tim,

Ah. That makes sense — the 10/9 podcast of the 10/7 sermon.

One more reason to look forward to heaven — time won’t have meaning and life will be less confusing.

At the very least it shows the fundamental dishonesty in preventing conversation from taking place. Were there comments there, then that’d be exactly where we’d see some disagreements.

Well, it was the mysterious ‘editor’ – which could be multiple peolpe – and it could reveal differences of opinion on the part of the writers there. Or, it could demonstrate rank hypocrisy of a single individuals. With the lack of accountability via the ‘editor’ function, it will just have the appearance of the latter…

They didn’t take a lesson from Dr. Walter Martin, I doubt they’ll take it from Driscoll.

Its hilarious that within a week or so of each other they can condemn him for being a potty mouth, and a sign of the disrespect the new pastors have for God, adn then the next week have a Driscoll pep rally.

I notice CR?N has a link to a Driscoll clip from this series, which included his initial comments recognizing Osteen as a brother before tackling the message from Osteen, in (as you noted, Tim) efficient, overwhelming fashion.

Nowhere in there did I hear the words “apostate”, “‘false’ Christians”, or the other common ODM catch-phrases…

Maybe they’ll take a lesson from Mark?

Ken just does it because Jesus tells him to.

Paul,

You guys spend no end of time personally attacking individuals yourselves (though fully justified Iâ€™m sure).

At risk of sounding Drisconian, WHAT A CROCK!

I not only stated that I did not agree with Ken Silva’s theology I stated that it was because it was confusing… then note I also stated:

Ken Silva can do this, I know he can. I know he can drop the personal attacks and name calling and attack the others theology and not their person. I wonder though if may he is not grounded in his own theology enough to be able to do this. Sometimes he is Calvinist, and other times he has a broader view. It just seems to morph into whatever he needs at the moment to attack the other person.

YEP that is me, iggy… the guy Ingrid says flames everyone. The guy that Ken Silva says is not saved then hand me a rose in the place of an apology, the guy the Chris P. tell to “Just shut up” cuz I quote what he says… yep me… iggy being soooo mean that I think Ken can strive to be better… oh the humanity of it all! Notice I never stated EVER that Ken is not saved, or anything less than a brother in Christ… oh but we trash his person…

Hogwash… you have to try much harder to find a “personal attack” anything close to what Ken spews out on a daily basis…

Personally I feel you are attacking us on a personal level and so that includes you in the hypocrisy…

Now, seriously I can go to about any post by Ken Silva and find a derogatory statement about someone else… and I bet it would be much harder to do that here… even if you parse through all my own statements… Now, I am nto perfect, but I am far from calling Ken names… And if I do it is to point out that the names he is calling others seem to fit him and his own theology as well.

Be Blessed,
iggy

Tyler,
Looking back on the thread you should be <3ing NC.

BTW, I loved the bit you posted about Augustine’s retractions. I didn’t realize that.
