One of my two favorite responses from your cult.
The other one is, god works in mysterious ways.
They are both code for, I have no reasonable, intelligent, logical or practical answer.
I think I will start using those excuses as well. They are handy.
regarding the most pointless job - it'd gotta be Vanna White's job. I hadn't seen Wheel of Fortune in years and happened to catch a bit recently. The letters are all digital now and supposedly light up when she touches them. She doesn't even have to turn the letters like she did back in the 80s.
I guess an argument could be made that the entire show is completely unnecessary and pointless, but I imagine she is making a crap ton of money for something that is completely unnecessary.
Yes, he is. Unless by "Preacher," you mean something other than "one who preaches."No he isn't.
He isn't. Period.Yes, he is. Unless by "Preacher," you mean something other than "one who preaches."
The worthless **** at the restaurant who comes by after you've eaten, but before you've paid the bill and pretends to care if everything was satisfactory and then tries to engage in other small talk. Leave us the fvck alone.
Only when I couldn't avoid it.I wonder if this was part of Goat's job at the restaurant.
He preaches at a church. He's a preacher.He isn't. Period.
He's merely a motivational speaker.
No. He's not a preacher.He preaches at a church. He's a preacher.
Perhaps what you mean to say is, "He's a fraudulent preacher."
He preaches. He is, by definition, a preacher.No. He's not a preacher.
He preaches. He is, by definition, a preacher.
Ah, I understand now. You don't speak English. That explains it.Nyet.
Only when I couldn't avoid it.
I never worked specifically in HR.So this, lawyer, peegs mod, good lord is there a pointless job in this thread you haven't had?
Ah, I understand now. You don't speak English. That explains it.
In other words, you personally don't think his message is valid.Since you obviously aren't going to enlighten yourself: This thread is about jobs and occupations, not hobbies. Anyone can preach as a hobby. We have several here who preach ... just like I lawyer.
However, by definition, a preacher is defined by what he preaches, not where he preaches. A preacher preaches the gospel. Osteen doesn't touch the gospel. He espouses feel good rhetoric, not Jesus.

I don't have a problem with that. I don't think his message is valid either. But let's be honest with what you're talking about. You don't want to grant him the title "preacher" because you don't like what he preaches.
From Joel's website:

We are so thankful for the opportunity to share the greatest message of all with individuals, families and communities all over the world. This ministry is committed to helping people from all walks of life experience the unconditional love and unending hope found only in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

We are using television, internet, podcasts and other new technologies to reach others with the Good News of the gospel. We are dedicated to helping people everywhere be inspired and rediscover their true purpose in life.

No, he doesn't have me fooled. I think he's a charlatan. But he's also a goddamn preacher and there are very few things more annoying to me than sanctimonious Christians responding to their bad eggs with, "Well, he's not really one of us." Your religion contains some jackasses. Own it.No. He doesn't preach the gospel. Period. I didn't make up the definition.
He's merely a motivational speaker in the guise of a man of God.
He has you fooled. He's done his job.
He's a preacher. One does not have to preach the gospel to be rightly called a preacher. This debate is silly.

I thought preachers say things out loud not merely write a phrase on a website. Nothing written here is the gospel. And you won't here it come from his mouth.
Please share the gospel with me so that I know he has taught it to you. What has he taught you?

You don't pick and choose what dictionary to use? You just said you use dictionary.com. I use Mirriam-Webster. No matter.I've been using dictionary.com for over a decade. I don't pick and choose what site I want to use. You might as well call him a rabbi.
Also, now that I look at it closer, you didn't even provide preacher. You provided preach and sermon.
Correction: Better than most people who call themselves Christians.LOL. I respect you too much to have this fight, Moops, but I know my damn Bible. Better than most Christians, in fact.
Well whoop-tee-dooJoel is a ordained minister on file with the State of Texas.
I also said I have used dictionary.com for over a decade. EXCLUSIVELY. That is not picking and choosing.You don't pick and choose what dictionary to use? You just said you use dictionary.com. I use Mirriam-Webster. No matter.
I assumed one could make the connection between what it means to preach, and one who preaches. I provided a definition of sermon since the top definition by Mirriam Webster of preach is to deliver a sermon. So it is useful in that case to look at what a sermon is, in case one would want to wrongly assert that a sermon is necessarily a message about the gospel.
Uh. ok cool.I also said I have used dictionary.com for over a decade. EXCLUSIVELY. That is not picking and choosing.
Whatever. Osteen is a preacher by definition. You are judging him unworthy of the title. That's fine. You have that right. But be honest about what you're doing here.Correction: Better than most people who call themselves Christians.
Obviously in the previous post and this post I am referring to the message where Christ states he will say "I do not know you" to many who 'claim' to be followers of Christ ... who have prophesied in His name.
So NO ... I will not OWN up to them as you suggest I should. Not even Christ will.
Whatever. I'm classifying him as a motivational speaker. That is what I am doing here. Is Tony Robbins a preacher?Whatever. Osteen is a preacher by definition. You are judging him unworthy of the title. That's fine. You have that right. But be honest about what you're doing here.
