Wow!! How blind? She said that when she heard that it didnt feel right to her but what she should know is that when you get that feeling it it the holy spirit telling you something . She probably should have looked deeper into the phase "God is a Jealous God". And just to think of how many people were miss led .
which came after she stated that she is a Christian, albeit a "free-thinking Christian" but she did state that she is a Christian. The quote that I referenced above is, in essence, Oprah saying that she believes in Christ. However, she also believes that there are different paths to God for different people."...I believe in my way but I don't believe that it is the only way..."

at 7:36 she said: which came after she stated that she is a Christian, albeit a "free-thinking Christian" but she did state that she is a Christian.

Now, those of us who are Christians know that Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Light and that no person comes to the Father but through Jesus.
In all of these video clips I've watched, Oprah has yet to specifically say that she does not believe in God or Christ. She keeps reiterating that she does not believe that there is only one way. Perhaps this is an example of 2 Tim. 3:5 - she is denying the power and touting forms of godliness.
I've met Oprah, but I did not ask her about her religious beliefs. So far in these clips, she has said clearly that 1. she is a Christian and believes in Jesus Christ, he is her Lord and Savior but 2. she clearly said that she believes that for other people there may be other ways.
Based on other statements she has made, my opinion is that she has been exposed to at worst, intentionally taught false doctrines or at best, incorrect doctrine taught in a genuinely unintentional way. In either case, she is mistaken in her hope that there are other paths or ways to God outside of or rather than Jesus.
IMO, that was a pretty judgmental video. This Christian forum alone represents a wide variety of Christian religions and not all say or believe the same thing. There are Christians in this very forum who really do believe God is a jealous God--in that exact context--and are reading this thread. I feel that if your beliefs are working for you, that is what's most important. What other people choose to do or believe is their business.
I new oprah lost her mind when she had Obama on her show and now this proves it.
To be a Christian means to be a follower/worshipper of Jesus Christ and His teachings. He teaches that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life and no one comes to the Father but by Him.

I've not seen the clip becuase I am at work and youtube is blocked.
My thought on the bolded - whether it is right or wrong, Oprah is not going to tell a large chunk of her audience (directly or indirectly) that they are wrong because they do not believe Jesus is the way and the truth. I don't know what % of Oprah's audience is non-Christian but I'd assume it was quite a lot. If she stood up there saying "If you don't believe in Jesus, you are going to hell!" or someting along those lines I am sure that people would call her judgemental, would stop watching her and she would no longer have her "global reach".
I guess she is trying to watch what she says so she doesn't offend anybody - and I'm sure she has people that advise her on this.
Again, I'm not saying she is right to do it but I think I get the "why" behind it
Made me think of this scripture......
John 14:6
6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
To be a Christian means to be a follower/worshipper of Jesus Christ and His teachings. He teaches that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life and no one comes to the Father but by Him. If you believe that there are other ways to God than Jesus you aren't a Christian. Before I converted I pretty much believed the same way as Oprah, Obama etc.. I believed that people of other religions were worshipping God just calling Him by different names and that it was good enough for Him. I wasn't a Christian but called myself one and truly believed I was one and would have been very offended if someone had said I wasn't. I was a nominal Christian, a Christian in name only. My lifestyle and ways of thinking showed me that I wasn't a true Chrisitian and I wasn't able to see that until I converted. I believe that she truly believes that she is a Christian but a more open-minded, modern one. Like those of us here that have converted, just like us she has to find out that He is God and that He is the only way to the Father,heaven and true peace.I think she's searching for Him which is a good thing. Hopefully she will come to know Him as her Savior and converts and lives her life as a true believer.

this was powerful ...true but sad..the road is very narrowI just bumped up the thread with this link, but I think in light of this thread, I am going to attach the link here. A lot of time IMO, we worry about certain things (not saying we shouldn't, but overlook so many other things). Please watch below ladies!

I'm sorry I had to do thisAs I heard somebody else put it: Jesus KNOWS His ADDRESS!!!!
And honestly, I don't feel the Lord is into ambiguity. There are too many examples from the CHRISTIAN Bible where the Lord was very, VERY PRECISE regarding how to do things.
So until there's A NAME given for whatever/whichever "god" one is speaking of, we "ain't" even in the same BOOK, much less the same page.
What's your god's NAME?

I do really like oprah although she can be a litte new age for me......toward the end of the video they mentioned obama and had his picture on the cover of that book...like he couldn't be trusted.....what does he have to do with all of this??
Because Oprah supports Obama politically and it's threatening when 2 or more black folk begin to congregate.
It's racism disguised as piety.
I actaully feel sick to my stomach right now. I knew that something wasn't right with her a few years ago when she started that spritual "thing" on her show a few years ago.
What make Oprah think God is jealous of her? She does not know what that scripture means. It means don't put anything before him.. Not your boyfriend, your husband or even your Pastor. That is what he is jealous of. This saddens my spirit and heart. Many are called, few are chosen and she is acting like she is not chosen.
We are definately in the last days. The fact that the govt wants to start a Dept. of peace is a sure sign.
Let's all add Oprah to our prayer list.
I agree, I thought Oprah was intelligent. But I stopped liking her a long time ago.Well....I believe God when He said that "every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord". Let folks think what they may but I believe God.
