Explaining the goals and aspirations of the New World Order
Oprah Winfreys Misleading teachings
Would you like your Christian teenage daughter to befriend a 51 year old unmarried woman who would talk to her about sex, homosexuality, the new age movement, secular movies, secular books and how there are many roads to God…not just Jesus? Would you let your Christian daughter sit and listen to a woman who would expose her to "luxury" items which you may not be able to afford? Would you let your daughter be exposed to someone who does not hold true the Christian beliefs and morals that you have so tried to instill in your daughter? Have you "spiritually child-proofed" your home?
By her own admission Oprah said on national television, a couple of years ago, that there "couldn't possibly be" just one way to God. She conveyed her idea of "many ways" to God and that Jesus could not possibly be the only way.
Now in 2008, what is she up to? Consider The Following:
March 7, 2008 LifeSiteNews.com writes the following concerning Oprah:
Since the beginning of this year Oprah has offered daily classes on her XM radio station on the book "A Course in Miracles." "A Course in Miracles" (or ACIM for short) was written by another major player in the New Age movement, Helen Schucman, who claims that the book was dictated to her by an interior voice, which she identifies with Jesus Christ. In that course, the listener is taught that there is no sin, is told not to make the "mistake" of "clinging to the old rugged cross," and that the name of "Jesus Christ as such is but a symbol."
Oprah, who is a self-labeled "Christian", was recently named the "most dangerous woman in the world" by Bill Keller, considered by some to be the world's leading Internet evangelist. He accused Oprah of peddling the equivalent of "spiritual crack." Keller has been warning the subscribers of his Daily Devotional for years about Oprah and how she uses her TV program to promote every New Age philosophy in the world, including the wildly popular book and DVD last year, "The Secret," which teaches readers or viewers that simply by desiring them strongly enough, one may obtain wealth, health and happiness.
However, rarely has Oprah shown more enthusiasm for a New Age guru than for the so-called Eckhart Tolle, who takes his first name from the well-known 13th century Catholic Rhineland mystic, Meister Eckhart. Tolle is the author of several books including "The Power of Now," and, most recently, "A New Earth."

According to E! Online News, "Close to 26 million faithful tune in weekly to follow the gospel according to Oprah."
Are you a partaker of the Oprah fellowship? Are your children partaking? Beware!
Consider for yourself the following links and quotes (found in brown text) and KNOW the person behind the pretty smile. What does she believe? What "New Age" message is she sending? Should true Christians watch her show and give her ratings? Should Christians support a person who believes there are many roads to God and worse yet promotes such ideas openly on her show, webcasts, website, etc.? Jesus said, "I am the Way...no man comes to the Father except by Me."
CHRISTIANS...my African American sisters and my fellow sisters in Christ...
There is such a thing as "right and wrong" and we should base all things
according to Scripture.
1Cor 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Is your watch set according to the correct time?
A man calls up a train station, "What time is the train departure to San Francisco?" The employee at the station replies, "12:45pm sharp". The man hurries to the station only to find that the train already left. He yells at the ticket window, "I just called you up and asked you what time the train to San Francisco was leaving. You told me, "12:45 sharp." The man behind the window replied, "Yes sir, that is correct and the time is now 12:49." The man, very angry, pulls up his sleeve to reveal that his watch says "12:38". The man behind the window said, "Your watch is not set according to the correct time...with all due respect, your watch is off sir. We operate in accordance with the Official US time."
One may be sincere and believe he is right but his information is only as accurate as the source from which he received it. The man sincerely thought his watch was correct only to find out that he did not set it in accordance with the authorized official time and he missed the train. Are you as this man? Does your watch tick according to YOUR set timing? Is your watch set according to what others have told you? Will you miss the train? The Bible is the ONLY authority on which we can reliably base our viewpoints and our lives. God's Word is truth.
2Tim 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this
seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
2Tim 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
What is the power they deny?
The Bible says the power is the Gospel-- that Jesus saves AND HIM ALONE!
Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Christ Jesus said that He is the ONLY WAY to Heaven. Oprah said, quoting an author, that there are "many paths to what you call God..." Should you believe Jesus or Oprah? There is no middle ground.
Even secular E! Online News in their article entitled, "Uprising at the Church of Oprah " by Joal Ryan Oct 17, 1998, 11:00 PM PT
"The show used to be "kind of like having a girlfriend over when you [didn't] have time to have a girlfriend over," says turned-off viewer Katherine Coble. "Now it's like church."
"But a bad church with no God...Instead of God, God is Oprah."
There are approximately 26 million who watch faithfully her show. Are you a partaker of the Oprah fellowship?
1Tim 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines
of devils;
Prov 14:7 Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest
not in him the lips of knowledge.
1John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
Eph 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these
things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
OPRAH AND THE NEW AGE - Hinduism Repackaged
On March 3, a live 10-week web seminar hosted by Oprah Winfrey and Eckhart Tolle, author of "A New Earth," began. Both the book and the online course purport to be able to awaken you and our world to life's
grand purpose. The spiritual web class has an estimated 700,000 participants. Is it any wonder that the Lord Jesus said, "When the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" (Luke 18:8).
A viewer asked Oprah the question, "How have you reconciled these spiritual teachings with your Christian beliefs?"
Oprah responded in the following:
"I've reconciled it because I was able to open my mind about the um...the absolute indescribable hugeness of that which we call God. Um, I took God out
of the box because I grew up in the Baptist church and there were you know rules and, you know, belief systems and doctrine and um I happen to be um sitting in church in my late twenties and I was going to this church where you had to get there at, you know, eight o'clock in the morning or you couldn't get a seat, and a very ah charismatic minister and everybody was just, you know, into the sermon and uh this great uh minister was preaching about how great God was and how omniscient and omnipresent and God is everything and then he said and 'the Lord thy God is a jealous God' and I was you know caught up in the rapture of that moment until he said 'jealous' and something struck me just and I was like uh I think about 27 or 28 I was thinking god is all and god is omnipresent, God is all...and God's also jealous? Jealous...God is jealous of
me? Um, and something about that didn't feel right in my spirit because I believe that God is love and that God is in all things and so that's when the the search for something more than doctrine ah started to stir within me. And I love this quote that Eckhart has...um this is one of my favorite quotes in chapter one where he says, 'Man made God in his own image, the eternal, the infinite, and unnameable was reduced to a mental idol that you had to believe in and worship as my God or our God.' "
By such statements above, the Bible is reduced to a man-made book-- rather than a God-breathed book. The Bible was given to man-- so that we would not only understand our origen and history but moreover know the very PERSON of God-- who He is and His plan for mankind. God's Word is to be believed. God is love-- but Oprah, God is not jealous of you, He is jealous FOR you. It's like a parent whose child would not love them but rather would despise correction, would desire to love... let's say a neighbor. Any parent out there would be concerned if their child did not love them but rather loved everyone else except for them. It's the same analogy here. But sadly, God's Word is rejected by man and the blessed Son of God-- His sacrifice upon the cross for our sins-- is rejected. The New Age movement rejects the blood sacrifice of the Messiah-- teaching in opposition to the Bible. The New Age religion denies the Cross of Christ.
Oprah said:
"God is a feeling experience and not a believing experience. And if that...that your religion is a believing experience If God for you is still about a belief then it's not truly God.
What Oprah is teaching her loyal viewers is "New Age"-- which is Hinduism repackaged for Western consumption. Oprah's teaching contradicts Jesus Christ completely for Jesus taught us that we must BELIEVE. Whom shall you follow Jesus or Oprah?
The Lord Jesus said in John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
The Greek word, "believe," in the Bible means "to have faith in." Paul and Silas said in Acts 16:31: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved,
and thy house." (Why do Christians follow Jesus? See our article "Messiah Jesus Traced Through The Hebrew Scriptures.")
What is a Christian?
Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary says that a Christian is:
"1. one who professes belief in the teachings of Jesus Christ..."
A True Christian is one who believes God's Word; they believe that Jesus died on the cross for their SINS and that He rose again on the third day. They believe and have received Him as their personal Lord and Savior. They believe Jesus is the ONLY WAY into Heaven. They believe that the Bible is the FINAL AUTHORITY. They believe the words that Jesus said. They believe in Him.
Jesus said, " I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
That is a VERY strong statement and either you believe Jesus or you don't.
There is no middle ground. Should Christians watch TV programs that contradict the teachings of Jesus?
The bible says in Ephesians 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
2Cor 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
Be not unequally yoked. Is tuning in to a TV show, five days per week, a part of your life? Is it healthy for you spiritually? Pastor David Cloud had the following things to say:
*** BEWARE OF OPRAH'S NEW AGE CHRISTIANITY ***
Oprah Winfrey is one of the most popular entertainers in America, and she has built a near cult-like following among women through her message of self-esteem. In June she went on a four-city tour called "Live Your Best Life." The thousands of tickets, which cost $185, sold out the first day. The price of admission
included a workbook journal with subject titles such as "You Are Cocreating
Your Life" and "You Become What You Believe." Her message--a combination of Christianity, New Age, mysticism, and self esteem--attracts an apostate generation. She teaches women to believe in themselves and in a vague god of their own imagination. She speaks of the miracle of life and the blessing of salvation, but it is a salvation through self will apart from repentance and faith in the blood of Christ. She speaks of faith, but it is a faith in self not a faith in the Christ of Calvary. She teaches women to follow their hearts, but fails to warn them that "the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked" (Jer. 17:9). She preaches moralism, but it is not the absolute divine morality as taught
in the Scriptures. Oprah told the crowds, "The universe is speaking to you right now, in the voice of Oprah Winfrey." [ Friday Church News Notes, July 27, 2001 (David W. Cloud, Fundamental Baptist Information Service, P.O. Box 610368, Port Huron, MI 48061-0368, fbns@wayoflife.org) ]
=========================================================
When one visits the Oprah website, one finds a wide variety of things to read.
Ms. Winfrey also has a section dedicated to some of her favorite books.
"Discover the Power Within You" by Eric Butterworth
Oprah says, "This book changed my perspective on life and religion. Eric Butterworth teaches that God isn't "up there." He exists inside each one of us, and it's up to us to seek the divine within."
Favorite quote: "But the greatest mistake is in believing that we are 'only human… ' We are human in expression but diving in creation and limitless in potentiality." http://www.oprah.com/books/favorite/slide/slide_books_favorite_05.j...
Another book she features is called:
Reflections on the Art of Living: A Joseph Campbell Companion
edited by Diane K. Osborne
Oprah says: "Mythologist Joseph Campbell pulls together threads from various religions and cultures to find a blueprint of how we can find a true sense of self."
Favorite quote: "The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are."
The new religion of this world is "anything goes" as long as "it makes you feel good about yourself." Their motto is that one can take a little from Judaism and Christianity and little from Hinduism and some from Shintoism, etc. "Take what you feel you like from each one..." is what the new "religion of self" is all about. Yet one making up his own philosophy in no way changes God's character.
One's belief about God does not change who God is. Your beliefs do not change reality. The earth is round, even though you want to believe it is square. Your belief does not change reality. Jesus said, "I am the Way..." and so either you believe Jesus or you do not.
Oh the Bible is listed among Oprah's favorite books but it is on the very last slide of the slide show at the top of a list among others. At the present time, the Holy Bible is not even featured, as are some of her other “favorites”. From the following link: http://www.oprah.com/books/favorite/slide/slide_books_favorite_09.j...
