Before we leave Osteens Lakewood Church I think it is important that we understand why this group is included in the scope of Christianity. Their statement of belief is fundamental articulating the basics of the faith.

But a review of their practices shows a worldliness that is condemned by the Lord. A clear example of that church genre well described as poor poor Christianity.
Let’s focus on the largest segment of Christianity. The Catholic Church
There is probably no greater example of poor poor Christianity than the Roman Catholic Church. Filled with idols and worship of Mary, superstitious in their practices, a clear marriage to the world, and a hierarchical government that is an affront to both the headship of Christ and the universal priesthood of believers. Add to that the murder of countless believers in the Lord. With the Catholic Churchb you have a demonic organization.
I doubt any, except a Catholic, would give these heresies a pass. Also, it is generally accepted that the Catholic Church with the largest membership, is part of Christianity.
