Is Oprah A Christian?

Is Oprah a Christian?  That is a question that has become an incredibly hot topic over the past few years as Oprah Winfrey has transformed herself from being just a talk show host to being one of the world's most influential spiritual leaders. According to Forbes, Oprah Winfrey is worth well over a billion dollars, but these days she seems much more interested in spiritual matters than in building her empire.  In fact, Oprah Winfrey  has become such a spiritual icon in America that USAToday has called her "a spiritual leader for the new millennium, a moral voice of authority for the nation." Millions of Americans deeply respect what Oprah has to say, and it would be hard to overstate the influence she is having not only in the United States but also all around the globe.  She has become a spiritual powerhouse, and she is changing hearts and minds every single day.

In an unscientific poll conducted on Beliefnet.com, 33 percent of the 6,600 respondents said that Oprah has had "a more profound impact" on their spiritual lives than their pastors or priests.

Just think about that for a moment.  That is absolutely stunning.

Oprah's massive television audience of ten million viewers each day and her magazine readership of over 2.7 million each month gives Oprah a tremendous platform from which to influence American culture.

Without a doubt, Oprah Winfrey is one of the most highly respected and listened to celebrities in the world.

But is Oprah a Christian?

That is a very good question.  The truth is that it is not for any of us to judge where anyone else is headed for eternity.  Rather, the question we will ask today is whether or not what Oprah is publicly teaching is Christian or not.

Oprah is confusing a lot of people because she openly claims to be a Christian.  That is how she identifies herself.  But what she believes about God, faith, "salvation", heaven, hell and a whole host of other things directly contradicts the Bible.

According to renowned Christian apologist Josh McDowell, millions of Christians are being fooled by Oprah Winfrey because she uses Christian terminology and Christian traditions as a way to lure people into beliefs that are not Christian at all.  A recent article in The Christian Post quoted what McDowell said at a recent conference about the different between the Christian God and the religion that Oprah is pushing.....

“The Christian God is a personal creator God which all truth resides, who is totally outside of ourselves and outside of our universe,” explained the best-selling author of More Than a Carpenter. “When Oprah and others refer to God, it is an impersonal force. And I think one way that comes out is that they will say, ‘Look within you and find yourself from within. Find that God-consciousness. That is God.’”

So if what Oprah Winfrey is pushing is not Christianity, then exactly what is it?

Take a few moments and imagine a religion where Jesus did not come to die on the cross, where there is no heaven, no hell, no sin, no salvation, no doctrine, where all spiritual paths in the world are equally valid and where "god" is in you and in everything else you see.

That is the religion of Oprah Winfrey.

It is also the New Age "one world religion" that many other spiritual gurus throughout the world have been trying to bring to fruition.

In fact, this religious movement is summed up very well by the lyrics of "Imagine" by the Beatles (who also were highly influenced by New Age religion).....

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

The truth is that there is a huge movement towards a one world religion where all spiritual paths are equally valid (except if you believe in Jesus Christ of course), and Oprah is right in the forefront of that movement.

So what, exactly, is Oprah teaching about "spirituality"?

Well, during one shocking national broadcast, Oprah Winfrey stated that Jesus did not come to the earth to die on the cross for our sins. You can see this stunning moment for yourself in the video posted below....



When I first saw this video I could hardly believe it. Instead of coming to die on the cross, Oprah told millions of her viewers that the real purpose for Jesus coming to earth was to teach all of us "Christ consciousness".

Oprah also told viewers recently: "I don't believe that Jesus came to start Christianity."

Oprah is also insisting that there could not possibly be "one way" to God, and that all "religions" are basically different paths to the same God.  If you don't believe that Oprah would say this, just check out the video posted below....



So who does Oprah believe that God is?

Well, Oprah has been quoted as once stating the following....

"I believe in the FORCE-I call it God."

Jesus also has clearly renounced the divinity of Jesus Christ.  To Oprah, the truth is that all of us are God....

"One of the most important books I've read is Eric Buttterworth's Discover the Power Within You. In it he said 'Jesus did not come to teach us how divine He was but to teach that divinity was within us.'"

For years, Oprah has promoted the teachings of New Age activists such as Shirley MacLaine.  It turns out that Oprah believes that what Shirley MacLaine teaches is what the Bible has been trying to tell us all along.  Just check out the following quote from Oprah.... 

"As I read more of Shirley MacLaine, crystals, and The Aquarian

Oprah has even conducted special online "studies" for her followers with her new spiritual "superstar", Eckhart Tolle.

During one of those sessions, Tolle told one caller, who confessed that she still feels guilty when she decides not to go to church on Sunday, that she must understand that "the voice" which encourages her to go to church is just social conditioning.

The following are just a couple of the incredibly disturbing things that Eckhart Tolle has written in his books:

"All religions are equally false and equally true, depending on how you use them."

"Man made God in his own image."

Oprah has also been promoting the teaching of New Age guru Marianne Williamson, and in fact she has given Williamson a radio show on the Oprah radio network to promote such beliefs as....

"There is no sin."

A "slain Christ has no meaning."

"Do not make the pathetic error of clinging to the old rugged cross."

"The recognition of God is the recognition of yourself."

These are the things that Oprah REALLY believes and has been promoting over television, radio, the Internet and in her magazine.

In Matthew 24:10-11, Jesus said:

At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.

Oprah Winfrey is literally deceiving millions upon millions of people.

Have you been deceived by her?

Oprah claims that there are multiple ways to get to heaven.

If there was another way to heaven, then why did Jesus have to die on the cross?

If there were many other ways for our sins to be paid for, then why didn't Jesus just come down to earth, point out some of the various ways to get saved, and then go back into heaven?

Why did Jesus have to actually die on the cross?

The truth is that there was no other way for our sins to be paid for, and that the only way to God is through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him.
-John 3:36

Will you choose to believe Oprah or will you choose to believe the Word of God?

The "church of Oprah" is very appealing for millions of Americans because in her "faith", there is no sin, no need for salvation, no heaven, no hell and everyone is "god".

But it is all a big lie.

The truth is that we cannot just make up whatever we want about God and about religion.

The truth is that God loves all of us very much, but the world rejected God and embraced evil instead.  All of us have violated God's laws and all of us are sinners.

But God loved us all so much that He sent His Son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins.

If you will repent of your sins and receive Jesus into your life by faith, your sins will be forgiven and you will be given eternal life.

NBC News: Many Humans Will Be Microchipped By 2017?

The NBC News report from a couple of years ago posted in this article is another example of just how far our society has come in accepting human microchipping and various forms of biometric identification. In the video posted below, NBC News suggests that many of us will be microchipped by the year 2017.  Of course this is not the Mark of the Beast yet, but you can see the kinds of technology that could be used for the Mark of the Beast being moved into place.  The Scriptures tell us that someday all mankind will be forced to take a Mark on the right hand or on the forehead and will not be able to buy or sell without it.  Past generations could never understand how something like that could be enforced across the globe, but now we most definitely have the technology to do such a thing. 

Watch the video below and then leave a comment with what you think.  It is becoming undeniable that our world is rapidly changing, and not for the better....

If George W. Bush...

The following comparison between Barack Obama and George W. Bush has been posted all over the Internet and it was forwarded to us in an email the other day. We thought that it was funny and was worth passing along to all of you....

****

If George W. Bush...

If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a Teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?

If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the nonexistent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?

If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current with their income taxes, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had stated that there were 57 states in the United States, would you have said that he is clueless?


If George W. Bush would have flown all the way to Denmark to make a five minute speech about how the Olympics would benefit him walking out his front door in Texas, would you have thought he was a self important, conceited, egotistical jerk?


If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?


If George W. Bush had misspelled the word "advice" would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoes as proof of what a dunce he is?

If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?

If George W. Bush's administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?

If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

If George W. Bush had created the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt in ONE year, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years and push it beyond the GDP, would you have approved?

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama, our leader, that makes him so brilliant and impressive? He's done all this in 15 months -- so he'll have two years and nine months to add to this great list of accomplishments.

Should you be worried??......VOTE in November

The Shocking Fourth Verse Of The Star-Spangled Banner

Did you know that there is more than one verse to our national anthem?  It's true!  The Star-Spangled Banner actually has four verses.  In particular, the fourth verse of the Star-Spangled Banner is particularly shocking.  It actually mentions God!  Shhhh!  Don't let the ACLU know!  They will file a court case and try to get those words stripped out of our national anthem in the name of "separation of church and state".  That is how ridiculous things have gotten in America today.  Political correctness rules and our heritage is being lost. 

In the video posted below, a Marine stuns the crowd at a Tea Party event by singing the fourth verse of the Star Spangled Banner. His incredible rendition will surely stir the heart of any red-blooded American.  Please send this video out to as many people as you can.... 




The following are the complete lyrics of The Star-Spangled Banner....

O! say can you see by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming.
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O! say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner, O! long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

O! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

The Obama Bumper Sticker Removal Kit

The video posted below is one of the funniest videos that we have seen in a long, long time.  It is a satirical ad for an Obama bumper sticker removal kit.  It is extremely funny and extremely well done.  The truth is that millions of Americans that voted for Barack Obama are now seriously regretting that decision.

So is this Obama bumper sticker removal kit actually real?  Well, yes, there is actually a company selling these things.  If you really wanted to play a prank on a relative or a friend, you could send them one of these kits.  But to us, the funniest part of this whole thing is this video.  Check it out....

Flotilla Choir Presents: We Con The World

Sometimes the best way to get the truth out there these days is to make a really original YouTube video. Recently there have been all kinds of headlines about the "Israeli military raid" on the peaceful "aid convoy" that was headed for Gaza.  Virtually the whole world went into an uproar over it and demanded that Israel be held accountable.  But then the truth started coming out.  It turns out that many of the "peace activists" aboard this "aid convoy" were actually radical Muslims that were armed to the teeth.  Israeli soldiers did not start fighting back until they were viciously attacked by the radical extremists.

The video posted below is entitled "We Con The World", and in a very creative way it demonstrates the tremendous lies that the media around the world have been telling about this incident....



We Con The World Lyrics....

There comes a time
When we need to make a show
For the world, the Web and CNN
There's no people dying,
so the best that we can do
Is create the greatest bluff of all

We must go on pretending day by day
That in Gaza, there's crisis, hunger and plague
Coz the billion bucks in aid won't buy their basic needs
Like some cheese and missiles for the kids

We'll make the world
Abandon reason
We'll make them all believe that the Hamas
Is Momma Theresa
We are peaceful travelers
With guns and our own knives
The truth will never find its way to your TV

Ooooh, we'll stab them at heart
They are soldiers, no one cares
We are small, and we took some pictures with doves
As Allah showed us, for facts there's no demand
So we will always gain the upper hand

We'll make the world
Abandon reason
We'll make them all believe that the Hamas
Is Momma Theresa
We are peaceful travelers
we're waving our own knives
The truth will never find its way to your TV

If Islam and terror brighten up your mood
But you worry that it may not look so good
Well well well well don't you realize
You just gotta call yourself
An activist for peace and human aid

We'll make the world
Abandon reason
We'll make them all believe that the Hamas
Is Momma Theresa
We are peaceful travelers
We're waving our own knives
The truth will never find its way to your TV

We con the world
We con the people
We'll make them all believe the IDF is Jack the Ripper
We are peaceful travelers
We're waving our own knives
The truth will never find its way to your TV
We con the world (Bruce: we con the world...)
We con the people (Bruce: we con the people...)
We'll make them all believe the IDF is Jack the Ripper
We are peaceful travelers
We're waving our own knives
The truth will never find its way to your TV
The truth will never find its way to your TV

OOPS! One Newspaper Made A Huge Mistake!

Oops!  Do you think that the person who made this mistake got fired?  How in the world do you confuse being fined for prostitution with failing to stop at a railroad crossing? 

Hopefully this newspaper did not do any lasting damage to the reputation of this woman, but it just shows the kind of damage that journalists can do if they are not careful.  It is a lesson for all of us.

Archie Comics Introduces Their First Openly Gay Character - Kevin Keller

Times are changing.  According to the publisher of Archie comics, an openly gay character will join the ranks of Archie, Veronica, Reggie and Jughead at Riverdale High in September.  The name of this gay character is Kevin Keller, and he promises to bring fundamental change to the world of Archie comics.  Needless to say, many gay groups are applauding this change, while many Christian groups are absolutely outraged.  After all, it was only a couple of decades ago when Archie comics often published evangelistic comic books with a very direct gospel message.

But today Archie comics is all about promoting liberal values.  Archie Comics Co-CEO, Jon Goldwater recently put it this way....

"The introduction of Kevin is just about keeping the world of Archie Comics current and inclusive. Archie's hometown of Riverdale has always been a safe world for everyone. It just makes sense to have an openly gay character in Archie comic books."

So how will Kevin Keller make his first appearance?  Well, Veronica, Archie's on-again, off-again girlfriend, falls for Kevin Keller (not realizing that he is gay) in a story called "Isn't It Bromantic?" in the September issue of Veronica.
