While I strongly disagree with Mr Osteen’s Heavenly Path to Riches, there were innocent people, whose deaths were prevented, thanks to the good guys with the guns.

Another example of no gun free zones in churches...EVERY church should have it's own armed security...

I don't know why #1 would strongly disagree with Mr Osteen's Heavenly Path to Riches as poster indicates. One might want to read about Solomon. It is what a person does with wealth that makes a difference. Truly sad that the shooter included or influenced a child to be part of this violent act.

#3, that's not the point. Osteen promises that is your do "x,y,z", God will make you rich, healthy, successful, etc. God promises no such thing. It doesn't mean no Christian will become rich, but being rich, or healthy, or successful in business is not the promise of the gospel. I mean, look at the apostles. Jesus told his followers that they would struggle in this world, indeed that they would be hated by some for following him, but that he would be with them in this world

Anyone else notice that aside from "a woman in her 30s," the authorities are being awfully hush-hush about info on the shooter. Makes you wonder what they're trying to hide ...

Will there be a follow-up or will this all go away quietly?

Dont know anything about Osteen, but I've seen his pictures. Looks to me like a Jim and Tammy Fay kind of guy with his slick hair and too much makeup. Not to mention his fortune, which was probably gained from old people who couldn't afford to send it. I had a Great Aunt who sent much of her Social Security check to one of those (later) disgraced TV preachers. You couldn't convince her that he was not God's emissary.
As to the shooter, the psychos are coming out of the woodwork. Best to stay armed.

#4, I do know the point. I don't know what Joel Olsteen's views are but I tire of the attitude that wealth and riches are a bad thing. Wealth is no different than wisdom - it is what you do with it. Yes, we will have struggles but I will spare you mine, okay? Nothing you have to tell me. I could even say that gifts and talents from God are similar to wealth and wisdom. It is what you do with them - doing good not evil and doing it in the name of God. . .

Poster #10 -- Osteen preaches a "Prosperity Gospel," which is what the other poster opposes. It is not a Gospel of grace. It is a Gospel of deeds -- you do "this" for God and God will reward you by making you prosperous. It is a dangerous and ultimately hopeless Gospel. It has nothing to do with what you do with your riches -- do you use them for God's glory or for your own glory? Rather it is a risk/reward scenario.

#10, I am not so willing to judge Joel Osteen as an evil, rich person pursuing wealth all in the name of himself. He may be someone very humbled by what God has provided him and done great things with it. Just because a person is wealthy doesn't mean they have no struggles or challenges. And, then, I won't even go down the lane of someone achieving wealth through greed and corruption.
This story is truly sad anyways.

For all you commenters making this about Osteen's (or anybody's) "prosperity gospel," just stop! This has nothing to do with Osteen or the gospel he preaches and his congregants follow. This is about a deranged, most likely transsexual person acting out a violent, deranged fantasy. Got it? Good.

Exactly #15. I grew up with relatives watching Oral Roberts, Jim and Tammy Faye Baker and Jimmy Swaggart. I don't care one wit about Joel Olsten but this is about the shooter. Who like #5 wrote the authorities are not giving any more information about.

Two questions:
1: is the "woman" actually a XX woman?
2. Was this shooter on anti-depressant medications?
Too many violent shooters are relatively ordinary mental cases who are given mind bending anti-depressant drugs which turn them into violent lunatics, bent on killing as many as they can. The standard list of side affects on these drugs say something like "warning can cause suicidal ideation".....yep, they certainly CAN and DO.

Well given #15's response and the fact that I wasn't going to respond anymore, I have one more thing to say especially after what I just read. Sorry, #15, I am being polite but I also have some things to say too. I am also not going to get in the mindset that this person could be a transsexual or whatever. That is gossip and I am not going down that lane.
Also, I just read this verse from the Bible: "Be in harmony with God and at peace with God. In this way you will have prosperity (good). Accept instruction from his mouth, and keep his words in your heart." Job 22:21-22
Several times in the Old Testament it says we are not to judge a person's wealth or being poor. The last thing I will say and then I am done. It concerns me very much that God is being taken out of society and people do not have His wisdom and cannot discern evil acts. What happened at this church is a reflection of that. . .

Not just a tranny, male pretending to be female, but one who imagined himself a child during sex.
Also a Bernie supporter.
Also an Hispanic migrant, not a white male as the media tried to push as a talking point.
Also multi arrests for frauds.
Also a "Free Palestine," sticker on the gun.

Number 18: What you quoted from Job 22: 21-22, is from the mouth of Job’s friend, Eliphaz. It is not God’s Word.
“ After the LORD had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “I am angry with you and your two friends, because you have NOT (my caps) spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has.” Job 42:7
