There are a couple of You Tube video clips making their rounds on the Internet that have aroused a lot of attention lately. I know this because they keep showing up in my email inbox from readers of this column.
I’ve seen two versions – both of which reveal celebrity talk show host, Oprah Winfrey, denying the exclusivity of Jesus Christ as the only way to God – going so far as to tell members of her studio audience:
“There couldn’t possibly be just one way.”
One of those clips is titled: Oprah Denies Christ – and the other: The Church of Oprah Exposed.
Is Oprah now leading millions of her feminine followers down that same perilous path? Watch the video clips and then you tell me.
What is the New Age all about?
It is the Gospel of Me – the divinity of self.
This is what happens when we endeavor to share feelings, speculation and personal experiences instead of God’s Word. In doing so, we unwittingly reduce it to just another human opinion – which plays right into the trained facilitator’s trap, as evidenced by statements Oprah makes in her interview with New Age author Eckhart Tolle, where she says:
“God, in the essence of all consciousness, isn’t something to believe… God is a feeling experience, not a believing experience… if God for you, is still about a belief, then it’s not truly God.”
Funny, I never considered the Almighty an inanimate object; but between the two video clips, that’s twice she called God an“it.”
I wonder what that means?
In a nutshell, the New Age and its New Spirituality promises to help you find God in everyone and everything, including yourself, with or without Jesus Christ.
But unfortunately for the millions of misguided viewers and listeners tuning into Oprah for spiritual guidance, that’s not what the Bible teaches.
