WASHINGTON, D.C.; April 29 -- On her television
show Oprah Winfrey has been pushing a new book by Eckhart Tolle
called A New Earth. In fact, Oprah has now taken up preaching
as a new past time and has determined in her own mixed-up mind
there are now millions of ways to get to heaven.
This is so sad because Oprah is a hero
of tens of millions of television viewers and she is expressing
her own Biblical beliefs without any understanding of the Bible.
Oprah has in effect denied the teachings of the Bible and of Jesus
Christ by asking her viewing audience, "How can there be
only one way to heaven or to God?"
When a lady in her audience asked, "What
about Jesus?" Oprah defiantly answered her by repeating the
question, "What about Jesus?" Oprah went on to explain
how she had been a Baptist until she heard a charismatic Pastor
make the statement that God was a jealous God. She told her viewers
in her opinion God was simply love and God being described as
a Jealous God made her really stop and think.
Don Swarthout, President of Christians
Reviving America's Values said, "Oprah Winfrey has in reality
just exposed her own lack of understanding about the God of Christianity.
God may be a God of love, but he is also a God of justice and
judgment."
Don Swarthout said, "The point is
there are millions upon millions of Christians in the United States
who thoroughly believe what Jesus taught in the Bible and for
Oprah to come out against that teaching so strongly is simply
appalling. Oprah should really stop to think before she goes off
preaching her own unfounded beliefs to the world on her show."
Rebecca Chadwick, a news contributor for
CRAVE said, "All cults share the same premise; they misrepresent
the nature of God. Let's pray for Oprah and Tolle... and all those
who are lost."
