OPRAH WOULD MAKE AN AWESOME CHRISTIAN


Did any of you catch the four programs TV talk show host Oprah taped in Australia? We caught them all. Taped before Christmas, they were aired Jan. 18-21, 2011.

When you scrape away the guff, I think we must conclude that from a Christian perspective the Phantom of the Sydney Oprah House is perhaps the most dangerous woman on the planet today.

First and FOREMOST, Oprah rejects Christ as being the only way to Heaven.

OPRAH SAYS:

In these videos, she says:

“There is no sin,”

“Jesus is just one of the paths to God.”

“Jesus Christ did not come to die but to show us how to live.”

THE BIBLE SAYS:

Jesus is the only Way to Heaven.

John 14: 6 says, “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me’.” Jesus came to this earth to die.

John 3:16-18 say, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.”

We have all sinned.

Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”

Oprah is the poster woman for success and would make an AWESOME Christian. She cares, she gives, and she brightens a room.

But because she rejects the above claims of Christ – that Jesus of Nazareth is the one Lord, the one Savior, the one Way, Oprah disqualifies herself from BEING a Christian.

WAKE UP, OPRAH

The Bible says those who reject this, face eternal Hell.

John 3:36 says, “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”

Oprah preaches her gospel from an unparallel platform of power and influence. She is lauded to be the most powerful woman in the world.

She recently wound up her 25th and final season of her weekday Oprah Winfrey Show. Seen five times a week, the program had a viewership of “tens, maybe hundreds, of millions”, according to the following website that says her show was popular around the world.

Wikipedia says http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oprah_Winfrey

In January, 2011, she launched her new OWN cable television network. OWN stands for Oprah Winfrey Network.

Watch for it to feature many “you can fix yourself” New Age programs.

The Bible says we cannot heal ourselves. Only Jesus can erase our guilt and sin and truly fix us. We can fix the squeaks, sure, but Jesus must be our foundation.

KUDOS FOR OPRAH

Caring Oprah told Larry King’s replacement Piers Morgan, in his inaugural CNN program, that she figures she has given away “more than 300 million” to charitable causes.

Her endorsement of then-presidential candidate Barack Obama is seen as a major boost to Obama winning the White House. From 2006 to 2008, her support of Obama, by one estimate, delivered over a million votes in the close 2008 Democratic primary race.

She publishes O. The Oprah Magazine, with a circulation of over 2 ½ million.

She is the Pied Piper of Feel Good, giving her television audiences many freebies that include cars to far-flung trips. In December, 2010, she flew one of her TV audience of 300 to Australia on her dime.

She is an abuse survivor. She was raped at the age of nine and became pregnant at 14. Her son died in infancy. On her TV program, she has brought to light the plight of survivors and aired programs about seldom heard mental-physical-spiritual problems like Dissociate Identity Disorder (DID) that is fallout from repeated abuse to a child under the age of five or so.

In 2007, she established the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls near Johannesburg, South Africa. Inspired by her own humble beginnings and disadvantaged background, Oprah stated that she founded the Leadership Academy to provide educational and leadership opportunities for academically gifted girls. The students come from impoverished backgrounds in South Africa who exhibit leadership qualities for making a difference in the world.

Born into poverty, Oprah has been ranked the richest African American of the 20th century, the greatest black philanthropist in American history. She was once the world's only black billionaire.

Way to go, giveback Oprah. Not bad for a gal born into poverty with mountains to climb. God is so proud of you.

Like you, He is a giver. He gave us His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. We must each reach out and receive Him as our personal Savior and Lord.
