Oprah the Antichrist?!

I'm happen to be a great fan of Oprah's...I think the book you're referring to, is Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth, which I have read and loved. I have read many similar type books that are of a metaphysical or spiritual level, and many of the things he says and of which Oprah says is nothing new, but the concepts have been around for eons. First, while I know there are Christian sects that believe that only by Christ can you gain salvation and enter heaven, I don't particularly believe in this...this would be a total slap in the face to ALL other people who are of different religions and don't believe in this concept that ONLY through Christ can you enter the kingdom of God--what about other Christians who don't believe this way, what about muslims, jews, buddhists, hindus, and those of us who follow the old pagan/wiccan ways First let me give you a rundown of my beliefs...my mother was raised a strict Catholic and from what I understand, in the Catholic religion is the belief that only they will go to heaven...she married my father...a Methodist. I was baptized Catholic. I was later confirmed Protestant however. Due to my great-grandmother, also a strict Catholic, she was nonetheless open minded and read into other ways of thought...that is how she got into Unity and Science of Mind principles which are non-denominational...so therefore I too grew up in those concepts as well. I later studied into Buddhism, Hinduism, Sufism for my own personal knowledge. Then some six years ago I began reading into pagan/wiccan principles and follow that path in life...yet I haven't forsaken my Christian beliefs. Oprah is a very devote Christian...but she too I would imagine is very open minded and recognizes other paths of religious principles and not just ONE way. I'm sorry, but to my mind, anyone who thinks their way is the only way to enlightenment, salvation or being able to go to heaven is very close-minded. As spiritual beings we are God...we have God or the creator within us...it takes a LOT of reading and being open-minded to reading other ways of thinking to get and understand some of these principles...I thank God that when I grew up, I didn't have religion crammed down my throat and was allowed to explore other ways of thought...I just wish others would do the same

The problem with Harpo is she's very influential, she almost bets on people doing what she says or recommends. I think she tossed her million dollars into B.O. campaign and now she probably been directed to keep up appearances for his sake to make herself look more popular. I don't look for any political leader, television personality or TV preacher to show me the way. She can claim whatever she wants but if she leads people astray she'll be the one who has to answer for it. Her handlers obviously are too scared to tell her she's wrong but she's almost become as messianic as B.O., watch him pick her as a V.P., then we'd all know the end of the world was coming soon.

The url is wrong. So I could not open it. I do not know if she is the antiChrist. From what I read in the Bible, the antiChrist is a he and he is so charming and can mesmerize people in believing what he does. He also can influence nations and be able to raise up armies. Now I think that sounds like someone else in the public eye. After all, many thought that Hitler and Stalin were the anti-Christ and they could raise armies, and some people even think the pope is. I do think the big daddy of anti-Christ is alive right now. I do know that Oprah cannot be a Christian is she says that Jesus is not the only way.

I see what you mean that she says she is a Christian and then don't follow the beliefs of this church. Yes I believe that is wrong. It's ok to encourage people to believe different ways but not to say you believe that way yourself if you are following a certain religion with different beliefs. If that makes sense

Oprah is very intelligent I have always thought that she believed in God and jesus. Not I am not sure that she knows what she believes in. Sad really.

Wow it surprises me that she said that about God being created in the image of man. Could she have been misunderstood? This thing about there being other ways to heaven, I only believe that Jesus is the way.

ya, i was shocked too!!! i mean, i could not believe it until i heard and watched the video... hmm, this is something.. a call to all christians!! let us unite in prayer...

The link you provided did not take me to a video of Oprah, so I am merely speculating. I doubt she has changed her mind about her beliefs. I think she is trying to find a way to tell people that whatever they believe religiously, is OK. I think she is saying that Good people who strive their whole lives to do what is right, will find a way to eternal happiness, and that just because they are not Christian, does not mean they are doomed. And I can't believe any kind and loving God would allow these good people to go on worshipping in their own way, only to find out they goofed, and can never join him in heaven. I don't think Oprah is going against her own Christian beliefs, only allowing for differences in religion. I don't feel they are necessarily "anti-sentiments".

The link you provided does not lead to anything Oprah said or did. If you're referring to the remarks that Oprah made when she spoke about the book of Ekhart Tolle, then your discussion is an alarmist's attempt at garnering attention. If you are a Christian, remember that the Bible refers to those who give a false alarm as to who the anti-Christ is or when the end times would be is a false prophet. Even the Son of Man Himself said only the Father knows when these things would be. There's no need to frighten yourself and other people unduly. If the anti-Christ were here, the rapture would have happened long ago. In Biblical chronology, the rapture precedes the anti-Christ. Oprah is not the anti-Christ. She's a Christian whose belief is different from yours. Consider her as someone who believes in a doctrine that is alien to you. Don't judge that doctrine.
