Queen of the New Age

Oprah Winfrey is very well respected and she is probably the wealthiest and most influential woman in modern times. It is truly amazing what she has done with her life considering that she started with two strikes against her, she is a woman and she is a black woman. That is one of the reasons why it is so sad that she has started down the garden path in the direction that she is going.

Although Oprah claims to be a Christian - she has a Baptist background - she is most definitely a spokeswoman for the New Age Movement or, as they now prefer to call it, the New Spirituality. Her and Eckhart Tolle are leading an on-line course that more than two million people are taking.

In this course they are teaching people that "We are all divine." "We must separate from the ego and become one with the universe." "There is no sin. There is no heaven. There is no Hell." They are teaching people to empty their minds and just feel. "There are many [thousands] of paths to what we call God." They are actually teaching occult practices and emptying the mind to allow demons to enter.

Let's look at their points one by one.

1. "We are all divine. We are all Christ." This is a direct teaching from Satan.

Genesis 3:5
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil
(emphasis added)
Isaiah 14:13-14
For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
(emphasis added)

2. There is no Heaven. There is no Hell. There is no judgement. There is no sin.

1 Corinthians 2:9
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

Mark 9:43-44
.......it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

Hebrews 9:27 -28
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
(emphasis added)

3. "There are many [thousands] of paths to what we call God." Was Jesus lying when He said the following? Or was He delusional? I think not.

John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
(emphasis added)

4. They are teaching people to empty their minds and just feel. That is not what Jesus taught. He never said "Come let us empty our minds and just feel." He taught us to use our minds and to reason.

Isaiah 1:18
come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD:

We must warn everyone we know about this dangerous and evil course of study that Oprah is promoting. It is sad that she and her numerous fans are being lead astray by false teachings. We must all pray for her and for them diligently. Their place in Eternity will be decided by who they choose to believe, Jesus or Satan and his demons.

2 Peter 2:1-2
1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
(emphasis added)
