Oprah's Different Gospel

The Mediator (the quarterly newsletter of the awesome evangelical outreach to Hollywood, MasterMedia Internatonal) reports that Oprah Winfrey now airs a one-hour daily radio show on her XM satellite radio channel that takes listeners through the 365 lessons in the New Age tome "A Course in Miracles." The folks at MasterMedia got their information from truthorfiction.com
If you're not familiar with the teachings of A Course In Miracles (which were supposedly channeled to the author by Jesus) you can check out the quotes on the truthorfiction page above (some of the quotes are from other New Age books, but the ones from ACIM are bad enough on their own) or take a look at this detailed biblical response to the Course. But, if you're pressed for time, these passages should be enough to tell you that Oprah is way, way on the wrong side of Galatians 1:8--
"The exercises teach sin is not real, and all that you believe must come from sin will never happen, for it has no cause. Accept Atonement with an open mind, which cherishes no lingering belief that you have made a devil of God's Son. There is no sin. We practice with this thought as often as we can today, because it is the basis for today's idea."--ACIM workbook, lesson 101
"My salvation comes from me. It cannot come from anywhere else."--ACIM Workbook, lesson 70
"Do not make the pathetic human error of 'clinging to the old rugged cross.' The only message of the crucifixion was that we can overcome the cross. Unless you do so, you are free to crucify yourself as often as you choose. But this is not the gospel I intended to offer you."--Chapter 4, The Root of All Evil.
Whoa Mama! Add in her promotion of the similarly heretical views of Eckhart Tolle (see here and here) and past-life regression and you can see that arguably the most influential woman in America is leading her fans down a broad, broad road.

Why is it that the Bible is not good enough for Ms. Winfrey?

Because she is Antichrist.
Oprah believes she is god.

Thanks for the ping, Mr Silverback.
Oprah and blasphemy — what a surprise. If she teaches this, she is likely to be dam’ned real good.

And she left the ObomaNation church for this? She's a lost soul leading other lost souls into the abyss.

“Because she is Antichrist.

That explains her support for The Want.

I just watched a YouTube video on this topic this morning. Maybe Oprah’s new religion is the reason her viewership is down. An awful lot of Christian women who know the Truth may be getting fed up with the crap Oprah sells.

Oprah has been possessed and infested by the doctrine of devils.
That Old Rugged Cross she dismisses so impudently is where my Saviour died and shed His Blood for me. I'll be clinging to that Cross long after Oprah Winfrey has heard the Words "depart from Me ye accursed, into the fire prepared for the Devil and his angels!"
Whether she likes it or not, Oprah is going to one day bow down on her knees and confess with her mouth that "JESUS CHRIST IS LORD" and no number of free cars or bags of goodies will get her in the Kingdom of Heaven.
She needs to get right with Jesus RIGHT NOW because tomorrow is promised to nobody, and it is appointed once unto us to die, and then the Judgment.
And that is no "Secret".

I often wonder how long God is going to put up with the blasphemy.

That was a funny movie! Ground Hog Day! Oprah has been on TV too long and has got it into her head that everything that comes out of her mouth is like the Gospel.

Why is it that the Bible is not good enough for Ms. Winfrey? Maybe her ears itched real, real bad.
