    Also, maybe it is in an inaccessible location?? Like you'd have to walk on water to get there?

        You must admit there's a difference between the attribution of certain events to God by individuals in the OT...and specific statements, deeds and actions of Jesus in the New. The former were simple reports of outcomes as reported by humans...the latter were specific solutions given by the Word (i.e., God).

        And therefore because it couldn't possibly be documented in some other form...it must be made up? Has to be a top five crutch excuse used to 'believe' God can't exist.

            Says you.

            According to most major Christian denominations, including Catholicism, the Old Testament is just as much the Word of God as the New Testament.

            And therefore because it couldn't possibly be documented in some other form...it must be made up?
            Not necessarily, but it's highly suspect that you casually throw out half the Bible as tainted by human hands while believing the other half is the literal Word of God. Seems consistency would demand you either believe it all, or none, rather than picking and choosing based on the fairly arbitrary BC vs. AD.

            What, the Romans in 50 BC can't be trusted, but the apostles in 100 AD can be?

                  The Gospels redefined the Bible. Jesus is the Word ('the Word was made flesh'), 'fulfilled the law' and created the New Covenant. Romans in 50BC do not have the same weight as Jesus/God regardless of what a church says.

                  Perhaps I'm not as much of a OT literalist as many non believers here. I don't think I have advocated throwing out the 10 commandments, yet I don't think its 'against the rules' to believe that the OT is divinely inspired without it being literal.

                    I'm pretty sure keeping the church clean is the least of Osteen's concerns.

                    He certainly has the money to help, if he wants to.

                    This is true. Doesn't change the fact that there are major hypocrites out there, though. These "prosperity gospel" types are charlatans of the highest degree.

                      Not to defend Joel Osteen, because your statement is pretty accurate, but the announcement did say it was because it was inaccessible due to severe flooding...

                          More and more images and posts showing up from people in the area who dispute the church's account.

                            Just adding one clarification regarding my 'downplaying' much of the OT.

                            Jesus valued the 10 commandments (we should value it), He emphasized parts of the OT about loving your neighbor (we should too), he ignored a fair amount of it...and refuted parts of it ('eye for an eye'). Regardless of what a church may say, the Word edited the OT for us.

                              While I don't know enough to judge Osteen on this one...broadly speaking, you're 100% correct.

                                Again, so you say. The major sects of Christianity disagree, and your interpretation sure makes it sound like God farked up. Because if he didn't, then why would the divinely inspired Old Testament need editing.
