Re: YOU MUST WATCH this hurry it may be taken off utube today Oprah denies Jesus! (2K
And that in itself is the problem with being a secular artist. Jesus said that if you deny him before men, then he will deny you before his father. There isn't enough money, or power, or audience seclusion in the world to make me deny Jesus.

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
