Appreciate your comments except until the part where, as every “young immature” Christian I know does the “I’m a Christian and then I need to judge you because you’re clearly not a Christian.” Read your bible, my brother, Jesus spews those who judge out of his own mouth. You don’t know me from anyone and I will bet my blog, my podcast and all my internet ‘fame’ that I know the Bible better than you ever have. I was raised as Pentecostal as they come. I’ve seen the truth and I’ve seen the church which is filled with lies, hatred and bigotry.

I am gay AND I am a Christian – must be hard to swallow, huh? But Jesus gave me his blessing (After 15 years of PRAYING/FASTING daily in church for me to “just be straight like the rest of my friends”) and guess what, I have never felt more peace, love and TRUTH until I came out as a gay Christian. Do not judge my friend – and my posting has nothing to do with following Oprah. It has EVERYTHING to do with not judging Oprah.

And I will even bet my beating heart that keeps me alive today, you have no clue what the end will be. You have no idea what Oprah’s endorsement of A New Earth is all about. It’s about SPIRITUALITY. It’s not for the closed minded Americans who feel like God only loves American-born, white men who get married to women. TRUST me on that.

I haven’t read Oprah’s book and don’t care to either, but I have seen a clip from an episode of Oprah where the discussion was something to do with God and/or how to get to heaven, and Oprah was arguing with an audience member who was sticking up for what the Bible says about Christ being the ONLY way to heaven… she said something to the tone of, “SO WHAT ABOUT BUDHISTS, HINDU’s & MUSLIMS? SO THEY ALL JUST GO TO HELL?” In fact, here’s a link to a great YouTube video that I found while writing this that pretty much sums up what Oprah beleives: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WN_ZKrVKGQ

I wasn’t always a believer in Christ and am in no-way one of those right-wing wack jobs (I voted for Obama BTW)… I’m a young guy in his 20’s who was living a life without a relationship with God, but God revealed the truth about Jesus, the Bible, and the need for salvation to me several years ago in a miraculous way, and I now know that Jesus is the ONLY way to heaven and the Bible is truley God’s word even though it was written through different men of God.

Watch the video and you will see that Oprah clearly states that she belive’s there are more than one way to get to heaven other than Christ, so if that’s what she and her book teaches, she is leading people astray from the truth, and she may not be the devil or the anti-Christ, but she is definitely doing the devil’s work whether she knows it or not… it doesn’t seem like she does, but she will when she faces the judgement for leading so many people into hell with her false doctines, unless of course she realizes the error of her ways and repents before she dies or Christ returns. “Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgement.” (James 3;1)

I don’t know who you are, what your website is about, or why you’re defending Oprah, but I just came across this post from doing a google search about Oprah, and it sounds like you’re hunkydory with everything Oprah teaches, so I hope you seek the truth which can be found in the Bible brother because if you’re cool with what Oprah is teaching, I can safely say that you do not understand what it means to be a “Christian.”

I’d be interested in knowing where you get scripture that states your point? I agree with you regarding Jesus as being the way to salvation, yet if you read the book (assuming you have not) and have watched Oprah, she feels the same way as well. Spirituality is not defined by your religious beliefs; rather it’s defined as a closeness to your creator and to the Supreme Being (aka God). Appreciate your comments, though!

If you truly study the bible what lesley says is true. No, I do not think Oprah is the devil, but she is not practicing Christianity.
Does Jesus love Oprah, yes, however that does not mean she is not misleading people. If you are a Christian, there is a guide, it is called the bible, and it teaches that Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father. It is quite clear, not Buddah, not Muhammed and not by your own good works or by you tapping into the energy flow of the universe. All other beliefs are false, and therefore misleading. Thank Christ for giving us mercy and compassion and not what thoughts we send out to the universe.
