Oprah says Jesus is not the only way.

[jacks girl]

There are so many ways to find this and listen to Oprah in her own words on u tube. I will post one link below.

What do you all think about this. Man I was in shock and still am. How in the world can someone as smart as her not see the truth. If I'm mis understanding her in some way someone point this out to me. But I think she is off her rocker to put it in a nice way.

I turned it off. I couldn't even listen to that junk! Yuck!!! Just reinforces all the other garbage she touts. :(

Oprah is full of more crap than a Christmas goose. She's also richer than Croesus, and thus bulletproof. When a woman with that much money and that much bad wiring inside her skull gets loose...whoa, doctor,

On XM Radio last year, Oprah talked to Jerry and Esther Hicks. Esther Hicks channels “Abraham”, a group of demons that gave her the foundational ideas for the Law of Attraction, The Secret. Oprah interviewed this demon(s)! Perhaps this is where she's gotten her idea that Yeshua is not the only way...

Hard to tell. But i thought it was pretty scary because so many people like her and look up to her.

Okay that is just freaky. Talking to demons is plain creepy and insane. I never liked Oprah to begin with, but she just went down even farther in my book.

I agree. She's become a spiritual leader... The other day I was over at my mothers house and she wanted me to look at her computer because she was trying to watch something on it and it wasn't coming through right. It was that stupid conference thing Oprah is having with Eckhart Tolle..."the new earth". I caught the beginning of it and it was creepy the way she was reading off all the countries that were tuning in (like televangelist do)! Anyway, I couldn't believe that this was what my mother was trying to tune in to! I definitely expressed my disapproval and we got into a very tense conversation about it and other current forms of false religions, etc. She said..."well, I'm just a bit more open minded than you are!" It is not being open minded to expose ones self to this stuff. To me it's being tossed to and fro with every wind of doctrine!
I think it's very dangerous..

I'm confused about why is this a surprise -- hasn't this been part of her show for years and years?

[christianbkworm]

Our Pastor actually mentioned this last week in church. I haven't listened to it and honestly have no desire to, but it just reminds me in scripture where it says in the last days people will turn away from the truth and follow false religion. Even believers will turn away.

Although...on the other hand, I had a beautiful visual picture of all of the rains that we have had here. My friend Susan likened the rain to the visual of how in the last days God will pour out his spirit on the earth, and how it will just overflow...definitely gave me a new appreciation for the rain :).

Blessings,

Yeah, that's what I was thinking... :confused:

I've watched her for years on and off and never caught even a whiff of this junk... hard to tell.

Didn't she push "The Secret" pretty hard, and other pseudo-NewAgey books and authors?

[Cymrugirl]

Well, isn't this her last year on the air? :D

[ProfessorAlan]

She is taking over a cable channel next year, so maybe her show will be going to cable -- that may be what Cymru is referencing?

I didn't take the opportunity to listen :cool: I have felt for a long time Oprah has way too much power over women (in general) and have never bought into any of her "stuff."

While I think we should all be aware of people like this, I was able to hear about it from our youth ... they discussed this at length in Youth last Wednesday night. I'm so thankful our youth pastor is on top of current things that can easily draw our young people into false beliefs.

Heck, I haven't even watched Oprah's BIG GIVE ... and a member of our community is in the final 3.

My boss told me that she announced this was her last year on the air and that's why she's doing the whole "be your best you" deal during her last run. My guess is that if this happens, she'll still market her ideas/persona somehow, but that daytime talk show has been her biggest influence so far.

There are some very positive things on her show. Christians are often allowed to give their testimonies - she lets a lot of people give opinions on different things - and she does focus on things that are good - giving instead of keeping, touching community, being educated through reading, being globally aware of pain and suffering. These are all good - that is why the negative things she teaches are even worse.

All in all, I suppose the same thing could be said of some pastors.

I know one thing for sure. I'm going to be glad to see the tag Oprah's Book Club no longer affixed to book covers - especially classics!!!!

[Lookin^Up]

Didn't she and Whoopi Goldberg come to fame by being in The Color Purple together? And wasn't there a lesbian theme in the movie? (So I've heard; I've never had any interest in seeing it.) I know that some of Whoopi's "wise" advice as Guinan on The Next Generation has been humanistic--and therefore flawed--and Oprah's ideas are similar. Why should this remark surprise us?
