Cautionary alert, especially to those with ‘free thinking’ family members and/or Oprah fans.

* “The Atonement is the final lesson he [man] need learn, for it teaches him that, never having sinned, he has no need of salvation.”17

Absolutely wacky ...

"My salvation comes from me."

Does this mean I have to tithe to myself? (Pssst! Somebody tell the Feds I get to keep 10%.)

It is a far stretch but Okra has the capability and following to be the False Teacher. I’m just saying... no need to meds or tin foil. She is a dangerous person.

"A Course In Miracles" really is the definition of New Age cultism.

It is the classic 70s hocus-pocus book: every copy should come with a pair of bellbottoms and a pitcher of Harvey Wallbangers.

No. wait, God. wait a MINute here! Calm DOWN, okay?

IT wasn't a sin, it was more like a, a, uh , a misunderSTANDing! I mean, Look. I'm sorry about your Son and everything — Eew! THAT's gonna leave a mark (or five)! But, hey, WE never sinned -- not what you'd call SIN, I mean. You know, like litter, or forget to use condoms .....

Get with the program, God!

You know what your problem is. God? I mean, no offense here, but this is what it is: Not enough time in a nice California climate. Take a chill pill, mellow out! Repeat after me: "No big deal ..."

There. Isn't that better? NO sin, no atonement, no muss, no fuss.

(As the frog looks around, notices that the water IS slowly getting warmer, but decides not to worry about it.)

Something tells me Oprah won’t get much mileage out of her accomplishments when she’s called to account for the souls she’s led away from the Way, the Truth, and the Life that is Christ.

“The recognition of God is the recognition of yourself.”

Wasn't this Satan's third temptation in the garden?

I am not a regular watcher of her show, but once in awhile I catch bits. After reading the article, she is further proof that someone with so much money and power has learned little about true salvation through Jesus Christ. She looks to the world for answers and obviously has put herself up on the level of a Messiah. Sad indeed, especially for the poor souls who will follow this crap.

The author of this article is incorrectly attributed to Bart Lewis. The actual author is Warren Smith.

Warren Smith is a former New Age follower who at one time was deeply involved in the New Age teachings of A Course in Miracles. He is the author of these books:

Deceived on Purpose

The Light that was Dark

Reinventing Jesus Christ (2nd edition which is posted online)

a New Age worldview that includes the belief that there is no sin, no evil, no devil, and that God is “in” everyone and everything.

Reminded me of a quote from C.S. Lewis (doesn't everything?), which I spent a while searching for -- I couldn't remember what it was in and finally found it (without source) on the internet:

Perfect love, we know, casteth out fear. But so do several other things--ignorance, alcohol, passion, presumption, and stupidity. It is very desirable that we should all advance to that perfection of love in which we shall fear no longer; but it is very undesirable, until we have reached that stage, that we should allow any inferior agent to cast out our fear.

Anyone remember where the quote is from?

big lie/powerful delusion alert.

it's already in place amongst the pagan "mystics." now it goes mainstream through streetpreachers like oprah and obama.

This is all so predictable as to be boring; if it weren't so excruciating in its effects on everything from ordering a cup of coffee to getting a decent medical diagnosis to grabbing a few minutes of entertainment it would be irrelevant.

but it effects all of us, and the sane suffer worst for the insane, I think.
