Oprah’s New Religion?

I saw this on Brenton’s blog, who saw it on Ben Arment’s blog…

The influence of Oprah in this country shouldn’t be underestimated. I hope this makes Christian women (and I guess some men) think twice before giving her too much say into their lives.

Oprah has skyrocketed the career of another author on her book club. But this endorsement is a bit heart-wrenching. She’s taking her fans through a year-long “Course in Miracles” by Marianne Williamson. Each day, her book club site features a different lesson on this essentially new religion. Here are some quotes from this book:

  • “There is no sin.”
  • “A slain Christ has no meaning.”
  • “The journey to the cross should be the last ‘ useless journey.”
  • “Do not make the pathetic error of ‘clinging to the old rugged cross.”
  • “The name of Jesus Christ as such is but a symbol… It is a symbol that is safely used as a replacement for the many names of all the gods to which you pray.”
  • “The recognition of God is the recognition of yourself.”
  • “The Atonement is the final lesson he [man] need learn, for it teaches him that, never having sinned, he has no need of salvation.”

Comments for “Oprah’s New Religion?”

  • This isn't Oprah's "new" religion, it's the same new age pablum she's been pushing for years. Flee.

    "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires" - 2 Timothy 4:3
  • Thanks for your post, I listened to Oprah's first webinar with Tolle's new book, A New Earth, and I posted on how Oprah has transcended from talk show host to uber-evangelist.

    you can go to my blog Provocative Church to get the link for the article:

    She a waco... The Beast and the false prophet will be thrown in to the lake of fire in which burns with sulpher and will be tormented forever and ever.. Rev 19:20
  • I think Oprah has no religion, sometimes she calls herself a Christian but all her sayings were against it.

    if people would simply follow what Ophrah or Tolle had said - this shows that people are shallow and have no mind on their own - hey think!!!! These people should not make you simply follow their silly ideas. I hope there will come a time in the career of Ophrah wherein she will realize that she's just a part of humanity, who happened to be blessed by God, but abused it, and thought that she is God! Good luck Ophrah. This is an example of someone whose popularity had gotten into their brains. This is so sad.
