Okay, so I am going to write about something that has been bothering me for the last few days. Mind you, this is going to be a rant, so if you don’t like rants, I’m sorry. Recently, a good friend of mine showed me a video on Oprah Winfrey’s new church. I hadn’t the slightest idea that Oprah had a church. I soon found out that is is because her church is only one month old. Despite it’s age, it already has well over two million members, with over 300,000 joining just on the first service, which was held on March 3rd.
Why does this frustrate me? Not only does this church stray from the teachings of the Bible, it completely contradicts everything in it. First off, Oprah teaches that Christ has nothing to do with salvation. She says that there are millions of ways to get to God, and it doesn’t matter how, just as long as you get there. She teaches that since man was made in the image of God, we must be as holy as him, and our holiness is our salvation. But it doesn’t stop there. Oprah also teaches that when Christ died on the cross, it wasn’t actually him, but an image of us. In other words, Christ never died on the cross. The cross is just a picture of us…This is completely absurd. It aggravates me more than anything that somebody can take the precious teachings of the Lord and completely turn them around. Not only that, but she is decieving millions and millions of people. This has become the largest and fastest growing church in the world, and to tell you the truth, it scares the crap out me. I can’t even explain what was going through my mind when I was watching that video… Millions of people are being led astray, and with the rate that this church is growing, millions more are going to join them. This isn’t a church, it’s a cult. I just pray that God will do something to end it.
I loved your rant and I couldn’t agree with you more. I too pray that God will do something to stop it…soon.
Love, MOM
