Several minutes ago my mom sent me an email about Oprah daily teaching about a New Age Christ on her Oprah and Friends XM radio station. After researching it further it is totally truthful. Here is the entire email…
Many of you, like me, have probably been Oprah fans for a long time. This is very discouraging news to hear about one who has such tremendous influence on the general public. Please ask God to show Oprah the real Jesus Christ.
Just to make sure this was true, I went on Oprah’s website and there it is. The below article is very interesting, so I thought I would share.

“Oprah and Friends” to teach course on New Age Christ
Jesus Christ being reinvented, redefined, and blasphemed and, this false New- Age Christ teaching is about to make huge inroads into the world, with the help of the queen of television talk shows, Oprah Winfrey.
Oprah Winfrey, beginning January 1, 2008, on her daily radio program will offer a year-long course on the New Age Christ , in a lesson a day and completely cover the 365 lessons from the Course in Miracles “Workbook.”
Listeners will be encouraged to buy A Course in Miracles for the year-long course, and an audio version, recited by Richard (John Boy Walton) Thomas will be available on compact disc.
Those who finish the Course will have a wholly redefined spiritual mindset-a New Age worldview that include the beliefs that there is no sin, no evil, no devil. A Course in Miracles teaches its students to rethink everything they believe about God and life, and, bluntly states: “This is a course in mind training” and is dedicated to “thought reversal.”
The Course in Miracles -in reality-is the truth of the Bible turned upside down.
Oprah told her television audience that Williamson’s book, A Course in Miracles was one of her favorite books, and that she had already bought a thousand copies and would be handing them out to everyone in her studio audience. Oprah’s endorsement skyrocketed Williamson’s book to the top of the New York Times bestseller list .
A Course in Miracles is allegedly a “new revelation” from “Jesus” to help humanity work through these troubled times. This “Jesus”-who bears no doctrinal resemblance to the Bible’s Jesus Christ-began delivering channeled teachings in 1965 to a Columbia University Professor of Medical Psychology, Helen Schucman.
One day Schucman heard an “inner voice” stating, “This is a course in miracles. Please take notes.” For seven years she diligently took spiritual dictation from this voice that described himself as “Jesus.”
Here are some quotes from the “Jesus” voice of A Course in Miracles :
· “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.”
Popular author Wayne Dyer told his PBS television audience that the “brilliant writing” of A Course in Miracles would produce more peace in the world.
The Course in Miracles-based book, Forgiveness, continues to be sold in Robert Schuller’s Crystal Cathedral bookstore as Schuller prepares to host a January 17-19, 2008, “Rethink Conference” at his Crystal Cathedral.
2 Timothy 3 (King James Version)
1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
I know, I know I’m behind. But what’s new? So many people have stopped me at church lately and asked. Why haven’t you updated your blog so here’s to you Mr. or Mrs. Blog reader.
My last blog was in November… yikes talk about procrastination.
Speaking of procrastination (quite a segue eh?) does anyone else wait till the last minute to do something? I think I just may have the worst case of procrastination ever know to man. I tend to think the longer I wait to do something the better it will be when I finish.
I even talked to Pastor Gary about this once. He told me instead of putting something off. The first time you think you need to get busy and do something. Do it at that exact moment. Does it work? If you don’t put off thinking about it. It really does work; try it you big procrastinator!
Procrastination only leads to anxiety, palpitations and eventually hyperventalation which is not very pleasant. Unless you are into that. So here’s my New Years Resolution for ‘08 just a little bit late…. (cause I used to be a procrastinator)
No More Procrastinating!! Moses put it best in the book of Genesis (The Message Version)
I’ll take all the blame. If we had gone ahead in the first place instead of procrastinating like this, we could have been there and back twice over.”
See you soon. (Really, I promise)
