Admin	Worlds most Dangerous Televangelist....? Posted : 5 Apr, 2011 08:04 AM Albert Mohler, President of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY, recently wrote an article called The Church of Oprah. In it he made the statement that �writing anything even remotely critical of Oprah will bring an avalanche of hate mail.� Well, back up the trucks from the Post Office. Without question, Oprah Winfrey is one of the most, if not the most, popular and influential people in our world. She�s also among the wealthiest. Her Oprah Winfrey Show is the highest rated talk show in television history. Her book club makes instant bestsellers of what are oftentimes average books. Statistics show each of the book selections she�s made for her book club have sold over 1 million copies. Her �O� Magazine (which features her picture on the cover of EVERY ISSUE) has become one of the most popular ladies� magazines in America. HARPO PRODUCTIONS, her personal media company, develops television and radio programs, records music, and produces movies. They are responsible for The Oprah Winfrey Show, Dr. Phil and The Rachael Ray Show. Her �Live Your Best Life� seminars draw thousands of women, who pay $185 each, and pack out auditoriums in cities all over America. But Oprah Winfrey is more than just an entertainer, economic machine, entrepreneur, educator, etc. She�s also an evangelist for a �false gospel,� full of New Age philosophy and completely devoid of Scriptural truth. On a recent program, which you can view on YouTube, Oprah said, �One of the mistakes human beings make is believing that there is only one way to live and we don�t accept that. There are diverse ways of being in the world . . . that there are millions of ways to be a human being and many ways, many paths to what you call God. Her path might be something else and when she gets there she might call it �the Light.� But her loving and her kindness and her generosity � if it brings her to the same point it brings you, it doesn�t matter whether she calls it God along the way or not. There can�t possibly be just one way.� Someone in the audience mentions Jesus and Oprah asks, �What about Jesus?� A lady in the audience says, �There is one way and only one way and that is through Jesus.� To which Oprah responds, �There couldn�t possibly be just one way.� In one of her more recent ventures, The New Earth Web Class, (week #3), Oprah is visiting with Eckhart Tolle, author of the book, A New Earth: Awakening To Your Life�s Purpose (a selection of Oprah�s book club) and here is what she says, �I took God out of the box. Because I grew up in the Baptist Church and there were, you know, rules and, you know, belief systems and doctrines and um, I happened to be sitting in church in my late twenties and I was going to this church where you had to get there at 8:00 in the morning or you couldn�t get a seat . . . and a very charismatic minister and everybody was just, you know, into the sermon and this great minister was preaching about how great God was and how omniscient and omnipresent and God is everything. And then, he said, �and the Lord Thy God is a jealous God.� And I was, you know, caught up in the rapture of that moment until he said �jealous.� And something struck me and I was like, I think about 27 or 28, and I was thinking, �God is all. God is omnipresent and God is also jealous? God is jealous of me?� And something about that didn�t feel right in my spirit. Because I believe that God is love and that God is in all things. And so, that�s when the search for something more than doctrine started to stir within me. And I love this quote that Eckhart has. Uh, this is one of my favorite quotes in chapter one, where he says, �man made God in his own image. The eternal, the infinite and unnamable was reduced to a mental idol that you had to believe in and worship as my God or our God�.� Oprah then turns to Eckhart and asks, �What happens to us when we die?� Eckhart says he doesn�t give it any thought at all. Then, Oprah says, �God is a feeling experience not a believing experience . . . and if God for you is still about a belief then it�s not truly God. That�s what you�re saying.� And Eckart agrees with her. What? Oprah has embraced Betty Eadie, the new age, Mormon author of the book Embraced By The Light and said she wants �people to see things on our show that makes them think differently about their lives . . . to be a light for people. To make a difference . . . to open their minds and see things differently . . . how to get in touch with the spiritual part of their life.� However, according to Watchman Fellowship, a Christian ministry, which exposes cults, deceptive teachers and their teachings, �the light Oprah offers is the �angel of light� (2 Corinthians 11:14)� which is none other than Satan, himself. Oprah wholeheartedly endorsed and promoted the feel good, phony-baloney book, The Secret, by Rhonda Byrne, which teaches you can think anything into existence and bring success and unlimited wealth to yourself just by thinking the right thoughts. Only the latest in a long line of self-help books focused on positive thinking rather than God, the book promotes believing in the force of the universe rather than having faith in God and even states the individual reader is God. Oprah has done a lot of good in our world. But that doesn�t discount the damage she is doing to millions of people who are buying into the dangerous gospel she espouses. A gospel diametrically opposed to Scripture. The Bible emphatically and clearly states there is only ONE WAY to Heaven and His name is JESUS! Jesus said, �I am THE way, THE truth and THE life. No man comes to the Father except by Me� (John 14:6). The apostle Paul was equally clear when he wrote, �But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!� Oprah is a talented talk show host and likeable person � at least from a distance. But she�s also a dangerous televangelist duping tens of millions of people into believing and embracing a false gospel. Don�t allow yourself to be deceived by the most dangerous television evangelist in the world and don�t excuse her actions by recounting all the good she accomplishes. No amount of good works can ever make up for a false gospel that sends people to Hell! by: Pastor Bill Cameron Post Reply

View Profile History	Worlds most Dangerous Televangelist....? Posted : 5 Apr, 2011 03:11 PM I don't think Pastor Bill Cameron was "pointing fingers" here. Just because she's rich and famous, she gets no free pass to "teach" a false doctrine. Oprah has huge influence over millions of people. Should we pray for her? Yes! Should we ignore how satan is using her? No! It seemed like you guys were looking over the damage she is doing and bringing the focus back on james. Why was the pastor who burned the koran ridiculed but Oprah is excused? Proverbs 28:21 - To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress. Post Reply
View Profile History	Worlds most Dangerous Televangelist....? Posted : 5 Apr, 2011 03:31 PM PhillipJohn what church do you attend? To make a statement that Reformed theology is the most dangerous televangelist is absolutely ridiculous. Do you realize HOW MANY Presbyterians there are in America? I mean Southern Baptists believe in the Doctrines of Grace, and they are THE largest denomination in America! Do you know how many different types of Reformed churches there are in America? Did you know that the vast majority of our Founding Fathers were Calvinist? Have you ever listened to Dr.D. James Kennedy on Christian radio? R.C.Sproul? Alistair Begg? John MacArthur? John Piper? ALbert Mohler? These men are ALL Calvinists and have Radio shows that play across the country! It is about time you put your cards on the table, PhilipJohn. Just what kind of church do you attend? In Christ, James Post Reply
View Profile History	Worlds most Dangerous Televangelist....? Posted : 5 Apr, 2011 04:08 PM There are many paths to God, they just happen to all go through Jesus. How is Reformed Theology dangerous? ...Because it twists the truth of the Gospel to the point that is more about a formula than a relationship. This results in people like Oprah leaving the church dissatisfied and unfulfilled, yet satisfied that they 'tried' Christianity and it didn't work for them. Calvinism is a subtle off ramp on the road to a fulfilling relationship with God. The off ramp sign says : "The true doctrine of God" when it should read "Mans commentary on the Gospel" Post Reply

Posted : 5 Apr, 2011 05:09 PM A bible believing teaching church, the same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, lives in me, why would I depart from him and follow the opinion's and deadness of men, James when a man boldly declares that the word of God is not true, and then adds his lies to the truth and call's it the Gospel, why would I leave Jesus to follow man.
