[Chuck Taylorz]

This is truely an eye opener. I don't know much about Oprah other than she wants that Muslim Obama to be the President.


^I think Obama is a Christian & not a Muslim..

Yea the course in miracles, oh boy.

I was talking to a guy awhile back and I was about ready to tell him he reminded me of Oprah. Interestingly, he could see some spiritual things and yet was an enemy. I'm finding there are quite a few of those running around, they seem to be born again of something but not HIM. Interesting indeed. He was pointing me to this book, telling me, "Oh it'll explain everything." :rolleyes

Apparently it's a quite clever deception.

www.reinventingjesuschrist.com Free, online book by Warren Smith, ex New Ager, now a Believer, explains clearly the New Age Agenda to bring in Antichrist, and how they have twisted Christianity to fit their agenda.

~God is in everything I see.
~repeat the affirmation "I am the light of the world".
~say and believe "My salvation comes from me".

I don't see how this appeals to unbelievers. :scratch

[1angel4u]

"I am the Light of the World." What a wonderful thing for sinful humans to believe of "themselves." :rolleyes Yikes :ohno

Oh Lord, that they will see the deceitfullness in this, and turn from it - to you. :pray

Edited to add: She's doing a REALLY BAD thing here and will be held accountable. I pray for Oprah.

The attraction here is, that they (unbelievers) can have salvation by trusting to their own devices. They are the author of their own salvation. There is no relationship and no one but themselves to account to.
Being a Christian is difficult. It takes committment and work and love. This "Course in Miracles" sounds like an easy way to get to heaven. There-in lies the danger.
