If he just helped the poor and destitute, he would be interfering with God's plan for them to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
So it is written.
Suplyside Jesus 14:52
Wtf kind of god do you believe in?
The kind that allows people to be murdered in what is ostensibly his house.
To be fair, Jesus wasn't a fan of temples. This lady is just Jesus 2.0: Jesus Gets a Gun.
You're wrong. God didn't allow it, he made it happen as a test, for some reason, probably because he's a cunt.
Yahweh told Isaac to sacrifice his son and burn the body. And only stopped him at the last minute. All because Yahweh wanted to be sure that Isaac cared more for Yahweh than his own son (see: Genesis 22:1-19). Ya, Yahweh is a dick.
As is the way
I think you meant Osteensibly his house
Damn! That's a good one!
The woman was shot down by off duty law enforcement. Well yeah, one should always pack heat, specially in gods house /s
"We don't understand why all these things happened, but we know God's in control," Osteen said.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_evil
The problem of evil is the question of how to reconcile the existence of evil and suffering with an omnipotent, omnibenevolent, and omniscient God.[1][2][3]
The problem of evil is generally formulated in two forms: the logical problem of evil and the evidential problem of evil. The logical form of the argument tries to show a logical impossibility in the coexistence of a god and evil,[2][9] while the evidential form tries to show that given the evil in the world, it is improbable that there is an omnipotent, omniscient, and a wholly good god.[3] The problem of evil has been extended to non-human life forms, to include suffering of non-human animal species from natural evils and human cruelty against them.[10]
The lord works in mysterious ways, isn’t that right, joel?
When something good happens, you're supposed to praise god. Why when something horrible happens, you're supposed to praise god for "testing" you. So god is essentially a child with a magnifying lense, burning ants. I have more morality than this god.
"Don't let the devil steal your joy"
- Joel Osteen, speaker who makes money talking up a message of positivity
And she didn't! It's just that her joy was opening fire inside Lakewood Church with a child in tow.
Was the child even her own kin or some kid she kidnapped?!?!
Too bad Osteen survived. That guy's a piece of work.
Internal terrorism, that neither mentions terrorism or the shooters religion.
“Free Palestine” written on her weapon...
Does Osteen have a history of supporting colonialism? I know a lot of evangelicals want Israel to usher in the apocalypse.
Have to drive them out of Jerusalem as well, so they can build the third temple. Jesus can't return until it is built.
Hmm not the worst place to open fire
