Joel Osteen knows nothing about Mormonism or even Christianity and he even admits it below. Yet, he tells the world that he thinks Mormon&#8217;s are Christians because they say they believe in Christ. Never mind that their Christ is not the Savior we know in the Bible. It is like taking two milk bottles labeled Jesus and thinking because they are labeled the same that they both contain milk. Yet one milk bottle is filled with sweet milk that leads to life and the other contains a deadly poison that leads to death. They both believe the bottle says Jesus but it is what is in the Bottle that brings life or death. One bottle has the Holy Spirit the other has Satan.<\/p>\n<p>If anyone need to know some Mormon beliefs that separate them from Christianity here is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepropheticyears.com\/cults\/mormons.HTM\">link<\/a> that will tell you what they believe. Believe me, Jesus is not just one of many gods who has his own planet like Mormons teach. They also think they can get their own planet themselves and become gods like Jesus if they just obey what their church tells them and do good works.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Their Jesus is not the only begotten Son coexistence with God from eternity<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Their Jesus did not atone for all the sins of the world.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Their Jesus sinned and was part of the fall.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Salvation does not come from water Baptism, good works and doing church rituals like they claim.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>There is a hell<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Jesus is not the spirit brother of Lucifer<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Etc Etc.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Anyone who thinks that Mormons believe in the Jesus of Christianity should not even be teaching Sunday school. Yet alone leading the largest church in the nation. It is time you fired him and got a Christian believer to lead your congregation. Or would that mean giving up your prosperity Guru? SIMPLY INCREDIBLE!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pastor Joel Osteen speaks out on Mormonism (OneNewsNow.com):<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;&#8216;In my mind they are,&#8217; Osteen said. &#8216;Mitt Romney has said that he believes in Christ as his Savior, and that&#8217;s what I believe. I&#8217;m not the one to judge the <strong>little details<\/strong> of [Romney&#8217;s religion], so I believe [Mormons are Christians] <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8216; When asked about specifics of the Mormon faith, such as the gold tablets allegedly found by Joseph Smith with the so-called &#8216;new revelation&#8217; from God, and the belief that humans can become gods, <strong>Osteen said he did not know enough about the religion&#8217;s beliefs to comment. <\/strong>&#8216;I certainly can&#8217;t say that I agree with everything that I&#8217;ve heard about it,&#8217; the Houston pastor responded. &#8216;But from what I&#8217;ve heard from Mitt, when he says that Christ is his Savior, to me that&#8217;s a common bond.'&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is a clear reason why you do not put novices in charge of mega churches just because their daddy was a big time preacher.
