Joel Osteen Told Gavin Newsom “God Will NEVER Forgive You” — 36 Seconds Later, Newsom DESTROYED Him With COLD Facts. No one could believe Osteen actually said those words in front of hundreds of people. But the real shock came 36 seconds later — when Gavin Newsom stood up straight, opened Osteen’s own file, and unleashed a barrage of cold, hard facts that left the pastor pale and completely unable to respond…..

No one could believe what they were hearing inside the packed Houston auditorium when megachurch pastor Joel Osteen turned to California Governor Gavin Newsom and uttered the words,
> “God will never forgive you for what you’ve done.”
The room fell silent. Cameras stopped clicking. Even the reporters froze.
But what happened next stunned everyone.
Newsom didn’t flinch. Instead, he calmly stood up, took a deep breath, and said,
> “Pastor, forgiveness is not yours to give or take. It belongs to God — and you might want to read your own sermons before judging anyone.”
Then he reached into his briefcase, pulled out a stack of documents, and began reading from Osteen’s own church financial reports — line by line.
Within 36 seconds, the entire atmosphere flipped. Newsom cited tax exemptions, lavish spending, and unreported donations, asking Osteen directly:
> “How do you preach humility while sitting on $50 million of untaxed wealth and calling it ‘ministry’?”
The audience gasped. Even Osteen’s usual smile vanished.
By the time Newsom finished, Osteen had no words left — only silence.
And as the cameras rolled, Newsom closed the folder and said quietly:
> “If you’re going to talk about forgiveness, Pastor, start with honesty.”
The crowd erupted. Some cheered. Others stared in disbelief. But one thing was certain — no one would ever forget those 36 seconds.
