Ok, so here we have a women(the most know in the world) that is spreading false teachings. There is a demon loose that is using this women to spread so much untruth, false doctrine, lies about the word and God! And where is the church? Are(the church) half asleep and half awake? Will the church just turn its head and go on "having church"?

Maybe the church should sound the alarm! How about it all you preachers on Jude2? How will you educate and equip your people from your pulpit on sunday morning about this issue?

A'ight. FOUL on Oprah! I mean it. That's offensive stuff, and I don't get offended much. Made me wanna hurl. I agree that every preacher in the land should make some mention of this, some way or another, and mark her for a false teacher. Her influence is too great to just pass over it, and her persona impacts women (mainly, cause guys just don't watch her) in a way that somone needs to throw down a gauntlet. Let people know she's doing this. Good post, Soulsearcher, IMO. Thanks.

There are SO many Christian women who watch Oprah faithfully and just love her. Although she does some good things, all her New Age stuff makes me wanna scream. We need to speak out on this so that some folks don't get deceived.

I'm surprised she's not a Scientologist since she practically worships Vinnie Barbarino.

She may very well be. I saw a special on Scientology awhile back, and they were saying that it is so popular with celebrities because the basis of Scientology is that "you are responsible only for your own happiness". You shouldn't worry about others. It is a completely self-centered "religion". Is it any wonder that these self-absorbed celebs buy it hook, line and sinker?

I didn't read very much into it, but it goes along with every other new age religion I've ever read about, including wicca.

It is time for all of our Purpose-Driven and Emerging church pastors to address the real issue of the day.

Take that, Rick Warren! And you too, Emerging scapegoat of all our problems! :roll:

You know i am real surprised that there were no pastors to reply on the question that i asked about equiping and training your folks to what Oprah is doing!

I will copy the article and at least have it on our information table so folks can take a copy of it and be aware !

I dont know how much that will do but its a start.....what do you all think?

Sorry please do not think i am judging anyone here...just trying to feel a heart beat....

Excerpt from http://www.oprah.com/xm/mwilliamson/mwi ... hive.jhtml
At the bottom of the page is this disclaimer: The opinions expressed by the hosts, guests and callers to Oprah & Friends are strictly their own.

"With Lesson 37, you begin to realize who you truly are and why you are here. You are here to bless the world, experiencing your own holiness and sharing it with the world. As your mind is trained to remember your holiness, you share the gift of this reality with everyone you see or even think of.

My holiness blesses the world.

This idea contains the first glimmerings of your true function in the world, or why you are here. Your purpose is to see the world through your own holiness. Thus are you and the world blessed together. No one loses; nothing is taken away from anyone; everyone gains through your holy vision. It signifies the end of sacrifice because it offers everyone his full due. And he is entitled to everything because it is his birthright as a Son of God.

There is no other way in which the idea of sacrifice can be removed from the world's thinking. Any other way of seeing will inevitably demand payment of someone or something. As a result, the perceiver will lose. Nor will he have any idea why he is losing. Yet is his wholeness restored to his awareness through your vision. Your holiness blesses him by asking nothing of him. Those who see themselves as whole make no demands.

Your holiness is the salvation of the world. It lets you teach the world that it is one with you, not by preaching to it, not by telling it anything, but merely by your quiet recognition that in your holiness are all things blessed along with you.

Today's four longer exercise periods, each to involve three to five minutes of practice, begin with the repetition of the idea for today, followed by a minute or so of looking about you as you apply the idea to whatever you see:

* My holiness blesses this chair.
* My holiness blesses that window.
* My holiness blesses this body."

Some folks like the SBC like to boycott Disney and such. Where are they now? As it was said lots of Christian women watch Oprah religiously. People should be warned from the pulpit about this. I say this and I haven't even read the link yet.

Quit judging Oprah. Don't you know the Bible says, "Judge not?"
