Oprah - a true anti-Christ

May God have mercy on those that are deceived by this man-made and man-centered gospel that is not gospel (good news) at all...

All Things Reformed said...: One of the greatest clues of the falsehood of Oprah and Echart Tolle is seen in the fact that that misrepresent Jesus and his gospel in order to then claim Jesus as a support for their own position.

I challenge all readers who seek to discern between Christianity and Tolle's writings to study the Scripture and see whether the Bible (and Jesus himself) suggests whether Jesus came only to set an example for us (even if through personal surrender) or whether (Jesus and the Bible teaches) it was necessary for him to die as an atoning sacrifice for man's redemption and reconciliation with God.

A few passages helpful to start with include: Acts 3:17-23; Acts 24:25-27; Isaiah 53:4-12; Isaiah 55:1-3.

In reading how Winfrey and Tolle twist the message of Scripture, it should become obvious how fake their way is.; Thursday, November 6, 2008 at 7:58:00 AM PST
Jim Clark said...: Hi, Just quickly, interesting that you say that New Age is "man centered" when the whole point is to disolve the Ego, and serve the Spirit. A natural consequence of this is to become self-less, and consider the needs of all other as greater then your own, however this does not necessarily imply self-denial (such as excessive asceticism). The greatest Ascecitism thus becomes the greatest Hedonism, in that serving others is the best thing anyone can do for themselves!

It is a battle between worldviews, and we are looking to see which worldview can account for itself best. In that battle, there is no neutrality or default position. (August: Circular Reasoning; July 07)

While many in the church today, who having bitten off the principles of the world rather than swallowing the word of God, fail to recognize it, the truth remains that CHRISTIAN SKEPTICISM is not only our great heritage and long standing tradition, but also our Christian calling! (Swordbearer: Christian Skepticism – Our Great Heritage and Calling; July 07)

The key is how the different schools of thought withstand internal critique. Naturalism struggles with internal critique, because it is inductive by nature. Any of its conclusions can be viewed with skepticism, because we can never examine all the evidence in all relationships in all senses. It further refuses to admit to its own metaphysical components. For example, how can the naturalist prove the laws of logic by use of the scientific method, without being viciously circular? It is a metaphysical assumption held to by a groundless faith.

If you say that God is “unnecessary in everything we know about”, how do you know that? Do you know “everything we know about”? Who are “we”? How did you come to know the meaning of the word “be”? You said that you don’t know where the universe comes from. How does that remove the necessity for God? At the very least, it is equally an explanation as any other if you don’t know. So then God is not removed from everything we know about, since the universe had to come into existence in order to exist. (Puritan Lad: Team CS and the clash of the worldviews!; July 07)

You mean to say that you actually have evidence that the universe wasn’t created? That would be monumental. Can you point us to this evidence? (Puritan Lad: Team CS and the clash of the worldviews!; July 07)
