Having biblical doctrine in an unbiblical world

Deuteronomy 6:4 NASB
"Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the Lord is one!

That is the simplest statements of theology found in the bible. As Christians we believe in one God found in the persons Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Anyway the reason for the title and the following thoughts is because a lack of knowledge of the God of the Bible is leading people to false assumptions by their "wordly" wisdom, and false teachers.

In the beginning after God supernaturally saved me, I listened to these people thinking and mistakenly believing that they were rightly talking about God. The more I read the bible that first year I saw more and more that what they said about God was wrong. I am talking about Joyce Meyer and Joel Osteen. who the more I compared what they were saying to the bible it did not match up.
Examples can be found on the following sites
Joyce Meyer

Joel Osteen

The right view of God, his triune nature, man's depravity, our need of Him, the nature of God's atoning work and how God not only takes away our sin but also takes away the enmity between us and him and places Christ's perfection on us. We are the creature, He is the Creator. Christ came as suffering servant but He is now the exalted King!
Like the Bible says. "But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed!"
False assertions about God, the Lord rebuke those who make them.
