I would personally like to thank those Seventh-day Adventists who have adopted the Joel Osteen version of Christianity. Finally, Seventh-day Adventists now have a popular message that appeals to the mass of humanity. Who in the Adventist church of the 19th and 20th century would have even imagined that the most important message in the world today is that we need to pursue feeling good about ourselves and just love everybody?
There is no question that many Seventh-day Adventists are following Joel Osteen’s lead and happily dismiss every teaching of the Bible that creates argument and controversy. Giving credit where credit is due, we may call this group the Joel Osteen faction of Seventh-day Adventism. Defined simply, Osteen’s message has been described as "cotton candy" theology – tastes good – but no substance. Who doesn't like cotton candy? Thankfully, Seventh-day Adventists no longer need difficult doctrines.
