Video: The Church of Oprah

Sandra Rose March 31, 2008

Oprah‘s always starting some mess. Is Oprah turning her flock away from God and Jesus? Oprah is using her considerable influence to make others aware that there are hundreds of religions in the world and no one God is superior over any other religion’s God. She has started an online class based on the teachings in a new book titled Eckhart Tolle’s A New Earth.

Oprah teaches that God is a “feeling experience” and not a “believing experiencing.” I don’t know what that means. You either believe or you don’t, right?

Shes gonna stop jumping behind these books didn’t she learn anything form A Million Pieces and the other White Girl who said she was adopted by a Black woman and sold drugs for a gang when in reality she came from two parent white household in the suburbs.But if ppl are dumb enough to let Oprah change their mind about something as important as the Religion then their faith is wavering anyway and thay have bigger problems than Oprah.
maema

if you think that christianity is the only path, well, that’s just silly. what if you were born in somalia or jodan or india and never met a christian in your life? face it, most people follow the religion of their parents. mom’s christian, you probably will be too. born in a muslim country with a muslim family, surprise, surprise, you will be a muslim.

c’mon people. blacks wouldn’t be overwhelmingly christian if it weren’t for slavery!

She did a show a long time ago about religion. You can go to GODtube.com and see it. I am a God fearing woman and Oprah really made me question her beliefs when I saw the video. Something is just not right about her beliefs. But, I’m not really going to judge her, she can take that up with HIM when that time comes.

Religion is a touchy subject for a lot of people. I can’t believe Oprah went there. I feel that I am more spiritual than religious and I can’t stand it when people try to push their religious beliefs on me. I definitely believe in “to each his own” on this subject.

Oprah is using her considerable influence to make others aware that there are hundreds of religions in the world and no one God is superior over any other religion’s God.

So if someone worships the devil, and he has become their god; is she saying that he is equal to my God?

I agree with Smokie!!!

what is tolle? the new age type of anti-Christ? to not completly abolish God and be so obvious but to discretly have people forget about God and use their feeling moreso to achieve this self salvation he speaks of? he is sneaky. and he comes at the right time to decieve many in the way the world is today. this world is so confused and lost and lonely and everyone wants an easy answer. and oprah…dang. oh well. yes all can believe or “feel” as they wish but the truth is the truth.
toosexy

i can’t believe oprah but @ maema its not the only path but its the only one that’s gonna matter in the end and as a god fearing woman god already said their would false gods and religions so that’s nothing that we are not aware of i just feel sorry for the lost when the time is so near i am not perfect but thank jesus i am not a fool because he said only a fool says their no GOD! THE ONLY TRUE AND LIVING GOD WAKE UP PEOPLE AND STOP WITH THAT EACH HIS OWN YOU BETTER START WAKING UP GOD IS SOON TO COME BACK AND JUDGE THIS EARTH!
pinkvirgo

I personally believe that the only way to heaven in through Jesus but I respect everyones Religion and their right to choose b/c it is not position to judge anyone.

Satan is also a god a god of this system of things. If she does not believe that there is one true God then that is on her but don’t try to push this foolishness on others. I tell you if you don’t stand for something you will fall for anything.

She just wants people to worship her like satan wanted people to worship him and he still does.
gemini83

I agree snootypooty1.
kenyanhottie

To each his or her own. As maema said,religion is relative. Depends what your parents are or the environment you are raised in. No one can say that their is the only way. Look what’s happening in the world today..Most wars are reliogion based cos everyone thinks they are right and anyone who doesn’t subscribe to their beliefs is wrong. I’ll say it again, to each his or her own.
bobblekins

C’mon people! Oprah does not worship satan, nor does she ask anyone to do so. The Bible says in Galatians 3:28, There is neither Jew nor Greek, neither slave nor free, neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

We are ALL one. Insisting that someone say their prayers the way you say yours, is not only silly; it is not in keeping with the teachings of Christ. As Kenyanhottie, pinkvirgo, and maema noted: there are many paths, and ours is not to judge.
missmiami

I actually have the book and it is very interesting. I didn’t know it was on her book club when I initially purchase it. I am at a point in my life when I am trying to find my own way and also surround myself with positive energy. It’s a very positive book and a must read. IMO

I don’t think you can just say religion is based purely on parents or environment. Yes you maybe exposed at an earlier age. but to accpet Christ is a personal decision. Many have come to know the Savior who weren’t brought up in a Christian household.
http://myspace.com/mullatos SnootyPooty1

@The Black Katie Couric…. I agree my parents were baptist but that is not the Religion I chose.
http://myspace.com/mullatos SnootyPooty1

Oprah need to put a real book on her book club list the “BIBLE”.
toosexy

@bobblekins I don’t think people are saying you have to be just like the next, but their is only one god, not many paths , well their might be many paths but only one leads to god , that’s all i am saying, and the reason i don’t like the each his own is because that’s like saying if im safe i care not about the next i guess only true christians would understand that and i don’t mean that in a bad way, but meaning i feel for the people who are lost and some will have no reasoning at all on the subject but for those you can help then help because just because the bible says theirs only god not each his own so it saddens me to hear people who are soooo lost and then to make it worst people who say they know god but then say their diff. paths and each his own and i am not judging at all but the bible clearly says theirs only ONE god not diff paths.
pinkvirgo

I understand what you are saysing toosexy.I agree that you should not hide your light under a bushel and thats why I said that I believe that there is only one way to Heaven and that is through Jesus Christ I am firm in my stance and my beliefs but I am not here to beat anyone over the head w/my Religion. I am concerned with the souls of my fellow man and I feel sorry for those who don’t know the Lord but I’m not going to start condeming ppl to Hell b/c they go to church on Saturday and I go on Sunday. But I understand your point 100%
krbinc

everybody don’t believe in religion. because if you believe in it, you should believe in it all! from jevhovah, to the nation of islam, to christiany. they all teach about god! becuase to me religion is a cult. they have vodoo too! because people in the church will put an curse on you, i forgot what they call it! because some religon lady put it on me, and i told her i didn’t know godly like people do things like that! so since i don’t believe, no religion curse happen to me! these godly people wants to see harm happens to people they don’t like. they will even pray on it! so i’m just a people who more spirtual than an people who gets up every sunday morning tryin to pay my way to heaven! and i’m sure people is goin call orpah an cult or tryin to lead them to hell, when hell is right here on earth!
toosexy

@pinkvirgo thats all i am saying, I never condemn people but its scary sometimes i mean i didn’t know how serious it was until i caught a religion post on perezhilton and when i tell you those people were calling god all kinds of names and saying go f&8k your god i mean now i see how lost some people are and theirs no reasoning with those type of people but if some one will listen i tell them how good god is and why but you can never bash anyone cuz we are all sinful but i don’t know its just so much going on these days i just hate to think whats in store for those people i love the lord and i am not doing everything right but i strive everyday to meet him one day but while those people were having a god bashing day, my last words were EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL CONFESS. anyway it was good conversating with people who know how to debate without cursing and going ballistic.
krbinc

too sexy makes a lot of sense!
toosexy

@kirb , but all those religion have diff view, jehovahs witness do not believe in the rapture, muslims don’t believe jesus was gods son only a prophet, i am non denomational because i think these demonminations have caused a rift in our only true meaning and thats to spread the word until his return, I do respect your opinion but have you ever read the bible because when you do and if you dare let him in your life i promise you will never be able to deny that their is a god and he will show you that’s why once you taste it you can never go all the way back god is real and he is so good because even though you don’t believe he still woke u up this morning and allowed you to live another day!
toosexy

well i will be leaving in a minute but it was good chatting on such a sensitive subject if i don’t reply i’ll hit back up in the morning, see ya!
pinkvirgo

I know what u mean toosexy I used to go to a board theat is predominately Black and they were doing the same thing.I was really shocked b/c I didn’t that were that many Black ppl that didn’t believe God.I guess its just the times we are living in b/c back in the day Black didn’t have much but they had faith.
toosexy

@pink girl foreal its like i was so shocked to read what i was reading i promise i was scared for them, i mean to see so many people like that. and you know what i am going to get a little personal but i usta wonder lord i know i believe and love you and i try to do right but i am still sinful so i usta wonder who is gonna make it to heavan if noone is perfect but then when i start blogging i see what hell is for, because just like god has his people so does the devil and its scary so i don’t know but i still felt a urgency to do some or talk or some so many are going on like all this weird stuff going on is really just life!
krbinc

yeah, i do read the bible. becuase reading it on my own, help me get the meaning of it than i will in a church! because to me the church be having remix of the bible when they be preaching! but don’t get me wrong, the church is for those that need it. that’s why i wont diss nobody belief in what they believe in. cause i never read jesus sayin what church or religion to join. all i read was to believe in him, and knowin that he die for all our sins! no matter what the sin is!
claire

AFTER WATCHING A FEW EPISODES AND HEARING OPRAH SAY ON A FEW TIMES TO A GUEST “DONT PUT JESUS IN THIS JESUS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS….I WAS SHOCKED..DONT OPRAH KNOW JESUS THE REASON SHE WAKE IN THE MORNING AND HAVE THE STRENGTH TO DO WHAT SHE DO…..

I am not a big fan of Oprah but i like that she is branching out…I dont see what the big deal is, this wouldn’t be an issue if she was shouting JESUS and saying she was a Christian.
AlwaysSweet

my 2 cents: I for one can tell you that it doesn’t matter what religion your parents have. I grew up in a household where my mom’s a Jehovah’s Witness and my father’s a baptist. So I was exposed to both. I don’t get into the religion thing because I personally believe that religion is something that is manmade. I do however, believe that there is only one True God and we must worship Him with spirit and truth. When you start talking about all the different religions out there, who is to say which one is right and which one is wrong. Because everybody thinks theirs is right. I just stick to my bible and try to do what it says and live by the principles found in it. I’m neither Baptist, Jehovah’s Witness, Catholic, or Mormon. Those are organized religions to me. I just try to be the best Christian I can be.

amen to that always sweet

Oprah needs to get laid. She’s too busy being everywhere and the Queen of the World because she really has no personal life. No one to snuggle with, get nekkid with. OK, so that describes many of us which just shows that money isn’t everything.

I wonder if you HAD to choose between having Oprah’s lonely life and mega-riches and an ordinary life that included lots of intimacy with people that love you which would you choose?

Remember, Oprah doesn’t have a loving mother or father (he was going to write a tell-all book about her until she lowered the hammer). All she has is Gail and Gail has a bunch of kids (I think 3), a mother who was stay at home, and HAD a husband who loved her until he couldn’t take Oprah constantly being in their lives.

Jehovah God requires that you worship in the way that he requires not the way humans see fit. In most cause when they feel it will benefit them. The time will come when everyone will see that there is only one true God. By then it will be too late for those who choose to disobey his principles and guidelines. The earth did not just happen.

People are being blinded by satan the god of this system of things and dont even know it.
All those who oppose God is serving satan’s purpose how sad.

Oh boy…….I will have to pray for Oprah……she is really walking dangerous ground now………As one of the bloggers stated, the truth is the truth…….There is only one GOD and he is real and powerful, HE is the one who allows us to wake up each morning and gives us every breath we take…..I pray that the LORD will send someone in her life that will draw her to HIM, so that she can know the truth which is the LORD’s Word (Bible).

This is how satan does, tries to deceive and confuse, at this point he is using Oprah and she does not even know it.

I’ll pray that her eyes, heart, mind and soul will be open to the truth, which is JESUS CHRIST!

I believe that in the entertainment industry money is the root of power and evil that goes beyond GOD. They glorify flesh and things that build them up in the world. But when people get besides themself because they’ve heard too many good things they turn into an idol. Praise and acknowledgement to just keep the madness going, it’s overboard.

Oprah has masked her shady views with speeches, doctors, experts, belive in yourself and that HIGHER POWER more than just giving God credit. So it’s “The Gospel According to Oprah” nowadays. I can’t watch her anymore. IF YOU DON’T STAND FOR SOMETHING, YOU WILL FALL FOR ANYTHING. A book club list and decorating homes is not about to make her my favorite person in the world. I think I will stick with Jesus, he’s the homie.

First-I was wondering if the end of this video was in some way suggesting Obama is part of an occult belief system because Oprah endorsed him. Are they saying he might be evil or even the Antichrist? It doesn’t seem as if anyone has addressed that in their commentary….
Secondly–I don’t think that the book (which I have read) is asking anyone to change their religion or the God that they believe in. I think the book’s main focus is a spiritual one not religious and the argument is being made that we are spiritual beings with much greater potential than we aspire to achieve. Tolle speaks about people being wrapped up in consumerism (buying things to make themselves feel better and never being satisfied in life or with their present circumstances). He addresses negative belief systems that people hold about themselves due to past experiences that keep them from being happy or feeling fufilled. I don’t think any of these ideals are problematic for me as a Christian.
Third—I don’t consider Oprah to be a prophet or myself to be a member of her “church”. The last time I checked I belong to a non-denominational Chrisitian Church. Personally I think you should be able to consider other points of view without feeling threatend about your own belief system.

I believe a group of “CHRISTIANS” always pop up with new theories on who is and what is influencing people just about every 3 to 5 years (remember the TeleTubby with the purse). They want to maintain control over people. That’s why all this stuff sounds like propaganda. There are certain religious groups that will always want to CONTROL.

I don’t agree with OPRAH and honestly I think some of these new age people are conning her.

There is a constant battle for your mind every day thru television, religion, advertisements, big business, government, co-workers, family, etc. What will you believe in today i.e. what will you spend your money on? How can I influence you to do what I want you to do? I spend hours a day shifting thru what OTHERS talk about. I take what I need, I leave what I don’t.

Throwing in OBAMA is some bullshit.
http://myspace.com/mizz_eccentrik Abhor_

I still don’t see the big deal with the video, Just because she isnt a Christian doesnt mean that she is doing the devil’s work..people need to stop being sheep! I think its impossible to believe that there is only 1 path to GOD. Think of the people in different parts of the world that have yet to be exposed or may never be exposed to “Christianity”…will they go to hell to?! I think people do make the mistake of putting GOD in a box. Thats the problem i had with Christianity which eventually led to me leaving the church. Many people just believe in a certain religion without doing their research, Christianity (as well as other religions) have always been use to control the masses, they used scare tactics (DONT DO THIS OR YOU GO TO HELL) to get you to do what THEY want you to do..Everyone is trying to fight to prove that their beliefs are truer than the other and i think people have lost focus. JUST LOVE GOD! All of these different organized religions have caused separatism among people, caused plenty of wars, and led people to lose focus of whats real…

Oh, and about OBAMA, i know many people only started getting into him because of OPRAH endorsing him…thats stupid because Oprah doesnt truly care who is in office..She hasnt voted since 1988 and nothing thats going on in our economy directly effects her…shes the richest woman in the world..Also, no matter who you vote for, Obama, Clinton, Mccain they are all running the same game and on the same team. Obama IS for change, the NEW WORLD ORDER kind..ha ha! stop being sheep and having people tell you how to think, its sickening.
