Joel Osteen Comes Out Against Pork

COGwriter

Joel Osteen is one of the most popular Protestant ministers in the world.  He and his wife have a huge following, both on television and in print.

And while I do not agree with much of his theology, a few years he decided that he should not eat pork or shellfish.

He took a bold step by  telling people not to eat those biblically unclean animals and only to eat biblically clean ones.

There is an abbreviated YouTube where he says that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aU5kek3D-4I

And while Joel Osteen and I do not agree on a lot of doctrine, I thought that this was a bold and courageous step for him to take. Teaching this may cost him followers.  But it is true.
