Oprah’s church
Posted by August on March 29, 2008
It seems like the ultimate human-made religion. Sounds like it started because Oprah saw fit to judge God and His revelation, and it all went downhill from there.
Amazing that millions are following blindly.
Don’t get confused, hers is not a Christian faith or church.

I believe in Jesus Christ and him whom he has sent for me TO-DAY Proverbs 25-13v)and I believe in the scriptures(Canonic)
Therefore one should also believe that which is written in St.Luke 9-49v and even better still St.Mark 9-38v and not condemn others who understand differently, for who may say who is right except to be inspired by the Holy Ghost and to do only good (Ps.24 1-6v).Shalom
John Steenberg.

John, so what is your view on evangelism and the Gospel? I don’t think anyone is condemning, but it is our duty to point out behavior inconsistent with Scripture.
As far as what Oprah said, there can be no reconciliation with what she said and: “Joh 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

I think it all began with a lack of understanding on her part. She says that
she opened her mind after she heard that God was a jealous God because she
thought he was a loving God. Open minded ? I think its rather shallow minded
because if we truly love someone we’re naturally gonna be jealous, after all
we were made in the image and likeness of God. Also she says that we make God
in our image. It seems to me thats exactly what she’s doing. If she were to
realize the communicable attributes that we have with God she would open her
shallow mind and believe what thousands of year old scripture says. “We were
made in the image and likeness of God.” And that Jesus is in the “express
image of God”, and he perfectly shows that jealousy in a loving manner,(eg.overthrowing the moneychangers tables in the temple) and as
we are “conformed into Jesus’ image” we learn to do the same. Its called
sanctification, (being cleansed from sin and unrighteousness). Therefore Jesus
is indeed the only way. Even the richest woman in the world can’t stand up
against God Almighty.

Joseph, you are right. She completely misunderstood the commandment. The word does not mean that God is envious of anyone. The word is more correctly rendered as zealous, and is a direct reference to the justice and holiness of God, and as the sole object of man’s worship. Which is kinda hard if you are worshiping yourself.

John,you said we should not condemn others who understand differently. There are some things in Christianity that we cannot understand differently and still remain a Christian - the core doctrine of the Christian faith. One of the core doctrines is that Jesus Christ is the only way to God, and therefore the only way to heaven. Oprah does not believe this; therefore, she cannot be a Christian. We are told in the Bible to judge the teachings of others to make sure that they line up with the scriptures, but we cannot judge the heart of others, for only God can do that. Acts 17:11, “the Bereans…examined the scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.”

I’m not really sure what to think of Oprah’s new “religion” to be honest. All I know is that my point of view pertaining to her has been completely turned around. Hers is a sick, sick mind if she believes that she can overrule the laws, commandments, and overall, the sacrifice of God just because she prefers the “feel good all the time” thing than the true faith and love that comes with salvation through Christ Jesus. There is one way to heaven, and hers is NOT it.
Oprah Winfrey needs prayer, because there are levels of hell, and thus far, I don’t think she’ll be on one of the lesser levels. Leading millions of trusting people astray is a sin beyond comprehension, and its horrifying. I can think of no way to argue well with her “religion” which is sad, because I know the truth. How many people will be claimed into sin and new age religion because of her influence? Who’s to say.

I haven’t read Oprah’s book, I don’t want to read it either. I would like Oprah to remain the extraordinary TV Host that she is who has turned everything she touches into gold. Anyone who experienced such fairy tale in real life would also succumb to the idea that she might be able to dillute some objective truths.May the POWER OF THE BLESSED TRINITY BE UPON HER AND HER ADVISERS.The inner god that Oprah was talking about is actually our own conscience. CONSCIENCE IS BEING DEFINED AS “THE MEETING PLACE OF GOD AND MAN” MANY SPIRITUAL LEADERS GIVE DIFFERENT NAMES TO THE VERY SAME BASIC TRUTHS,THUS CREATING MISTAKES AND SOMETIMES BLASPHEMY ON THEIR WAY TO REDISCOVERING THESE TRUTHS.Right now all Oprah needs is our genuine prayer for her to find her way back to the ultimate truth that the BIBLE IS STILL THE GREATEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN FOR THE WHOLE OF HUMANITY!
MAY EVERYONE BE BLESSED AS YOU READ MY SIMPLE THOUGHTS ON THIS VERY EXCITING EVENT IN OPRAHS LIFE!
ALLELUIA, PRAISE THE LORD JESUS!

“ The Church of Oprah Winfrey”. They estimate that she has over 28,000 followers. It is a frightening thing to witness because it is totally unscriptural from the real truth which is the word of God. God warns us in Matthew 7:15 to be aware of any proclaim of a gospel of false peace or teaching that neglects Gods true instruction. These individuals have no accurate understanding of what truth or faith actually is. The only genuine truth and faith comes from God. It comes through devoted alignment with his gospels in the Holy Bible and by accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. He is the son of God; only through him can we be saved furthermore know genuine truth and faith.
One of the most disturbing and false manifestations of such false Religions was “The People’s Temple” of Jonestown which was originally formed in Indiana. It later moved to California then lastly to Guyana ,South America. It was a religious cult led by Jim Jones in the late 1970’s that has gone down in history as the largest mass suicide in over 1,900 years. It resulted in the deaths of approximately 909 men, woman and children. On November 18th , 1978; Jones led 909 Temple members to death;276 which were children. Then later he took his own life by gunshot There are even claims that Jones audio recorded the orchestration of this during it’s occurrence. Image hearing the cries of agony as they all died because of a lie.
“ The Church of Oprah” which is now the newest manifestation of false teachings may never escalate to a magnitude of a mass suicide, but it will be a contribution of many lost souls. Which is also a destiny led to eternal death. It is claimed in her distorted belief of what is true; that we are God’s within ourselves. That we gain this by coming into harmony with the universe and ourselves .She states that this is how we obtain peace, freedom, happiness and success amongst other things that may begin to manifest as her religion or cult begins to unravel. This is misleading, false and a lie. It is not the truth. It is unscriptural false, ungodly and an abomination in Gods eyes. He created us, this world and all the creatures which inhabit it. This is the result that occurs when people put there faith and belief in what is not truth but is in fact false.
In heartbreaking consequence people put their faith ,trust , truth and inaccurate perception of all things, towards matters that are not in alignment with Gods genuine revelation for us. People begin to position themselves in false individuals, teachings and cults. This is something the enemy loves. He comes to rob, steal and kill. He is the Devil of confusion, lies and wants us all to be blind of the genuine truth in Christ Jesus .In 2Corinthians 4:4 it states “ the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelievers so that they can not see the light of the gospel of glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” God says in Hosea 4:6 that his people are destroyed for lack of knowledge or truth.We must all pray for Gods grace and mercy to awaken her with a Supernatural Godly Intervention that will reveal to her that her principals and beliefs are FALSE.

ONE LAST POINT OR VIEW.
When we come in alignment with his word and truly have faith at hand, we can overcome and defeat all things in the name of Jesus .It is our job as believers to testify Gods greatness so no one will perish.We must bear fruit, prepare ourselves and remember that we are the light of the world. Together, all of us must reach out to those whom are blind, so by Gods Glory they will have sight. For Gods grace is sufficient; but his complete manifestation nor purpose can not come to pass without knowing his genuine truth that activates our faith, and the truth is God.

Someone once said to me that as God lives in us, He becomes us, and thus we become Him. Is this the right way to put it in words?
If you believe that what you are essentially “preaching” to a mass, that you have learned from others, is correct in the name of Christ, how are you then judged if you are wrong?
May 26, 2008 at 4:21 pm
No, it is not right. Man can never become God. See here:

i have agreed with you man can’t become God Jesus is the only way riches can’t buy your way to heaven, people are lost today but let us not follow man’s way. the bible say that there is a way that seem right unto men, but at the end there come the judgement.
God bless
