What is the Church of Oprah?

Question: "What is the "church of Oprah"?



Is Eckhart Tolle's "New Earth" compatible with Christianity?"



Answer: Oprah Winfrey is arguably one of the most influential

women in the world. With a daily viewership that has peaked at

around 10 million, the Oprah Winfrey Show definitely has the

potential to impact the lives of many people. The Oprah Winfrey

Show definitely promotes much that is good. However, there is

another side of Oprah that has only recently become an integral

part of her show—and that is her rejection of biblical

Christianity. Oprah has made statements on her show in the past

that have given a small glimpse into her personal spiritual

beliefs, speaking mostly about her belief that there are many

ways, millions even, for a person to "get to what some call God."



This more recent exposure of her beliefs revolves around the book

"A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle, which she helped to make a best-

seller by promoting it on Oprah's Book Club and on her website.

Beyond simply promoting the book, Oprah has partnered with Tolle

in presenting weekly online webcast classes in order to explore

the ideas and principles expressed in "A New Earth."



Some have gone as far as labeling Oprah a cult leader—and with

good reason. She is a figurehead for the promotion and propagation

of anti-biblical beliefs which deny every foundational truth of

historical Christianity. Her webcasts have attracted hundreds of

thousands of participants with the promise of gaining new

perspectives on how to live a life of enrichment, peace, newfound

self-worth, and spiritual freedom.



Eckhart Tolle, a well-known New Age author and speaker, promotes

nothing short of personal divinity in his teachings. In an attempt

to deceive people into thinking that his religion is compatible

with Christianity, Tolle occasionally quotes from the Bible and

refers to biblical principles. The problem is that Eckhart Tolle's

book, "A New Earth," is in complete opposition to biblical

Christianity from cover to cover. Nearly every reference to, or

quote of, Scripture, is twisted by Tolle's consistent

misinterpretation and misunderstanding.



Consider what can be found in just the pages of the first chapter:

evolution of life over millions of years is accepted, assumed, and

understood to be fact; Jesus is misquoted; flowers, crystals,

precious stones, and birds are believed to be temporary

manifestations of the Universal Consciousness and are themselves

considered enlightened life-forms; the definition of sin is

misinterpreted; Jesus Christ is thought of as just one of those

rare people who, like the Buddha, achieved divine consciousness;

other religions, such as Buddhism, are considered just as valid

and true as Christianity; an early Christian cult, Gnosticism, is

portrayed as one of the few groups who actually understood the

teachings of Jesus; original sin was simply a forgetting of the

connectedness and oneness with the Source, along with everything

else connected with the Source—a delusion of separateness; heaven

is portrayed as merely an "inner realm of consciousness."



These beliefs, these teachings, are found in just the first

chapter. Obviously, and without a doubt, Eckhart Tolle is

promoting a new religion, one which combines the most mystical

aspects of every major religion. The first chapter, of course,

sets up the tone and direction for the rest of the book. This

direction happens to be as far from biblical truth as is possible.

If you are concerned at all with whether or not this book is

compatible with the Christian faith, you need not read any further

than the first chapter to understand what Tolle believes and what

Oprah is encouraging others to believe.



Tolle ends the book writing about the new Heaven and new Earth

spoken of in Revelation 21. He states near the end of chapter ten:



"The only existence the future actually has is as a thought form

in your mind, so when you look to the future for salvation, you

are unconsciously looking to your own mind for salvation. You are

trapped in form, and that is ego. 'And I saw a new heaven and a

new earth,' writes the biblical prophet. [T]he foundation for a

new earth is a new heaven - the awakened consciousness. The earth -

external reality - is only its outer reflection. The arising of a

new heaven and by implication a new earth are not future events

that are going to make us free. Nothing is going to make us free

because only the present moment can make us free. That realization

is the awakening. Awakening as a future event has no meaning

because awakening is the realization of Presence. So the new

heaven, the awakened consciousness, is not a future state to be

achieved. A new heaven and a new earth are arising within you at

this moment, and if they are not arising at this moment, they

are no more than a thought in your head and therefore not arising

at all. What did Jesus tell his disciples? 'Heaven is right here

in the midst of you.'"



In line and in continued progression with chapter one, chapter ten

places the final stamp of approval on a belief system completely

void of biblical truth. Salvation is presented as a state of being

achieved through one's own power; heaven is referred to as simply

a state of consciousness; and Jesus Christ is relegated to a

spiritual master who taught that one only need look within oneself

to find spiritual release. Scripture is used only out of context

and presented as obscurely as possible.



There is no room for Jesus Christ the Messiah, the God-Man, nor

His teachings in Oprah's and Tolle's belief system. In fact, they

propose that all people free their minds from such beliefs. Truly,

deception is the only true thing that Eckhart Tolle and Oprah

Winfrey offer. They, and those that follow their teachings, have

fallen for Satan’s original lie, “you will be like God” (Genesis 3:5).

What is the Church of Oprah?
Oprah is saying that there are many ways to God. But Jesus said in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Where is the Father? He is in Heaven. And the only way to the Father in Heaven is through Jesus Christ. How can we be one if there are many ways? There will be chaos. Now, some religions are killing other people thinking that they are doing it in their service to God. But is that the true God?



In John 17:21, Jesus prayed that we may be one, just like the Father and He are one. The verse states: “That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou has sent me.”



How can we know the true God? Very plain and simple. And logical too. We know that the true God must be almighty, omnipotent. Now, if the true God gives prophecies, He will make them happen because of His almightiness. The true God is also able to know what is to come. Therefore, the only thing that differentiates the true God from the false gods is prophecy. The true God can prophesy and make them happen. He knows the future. The false gods cannot prophesy and do not know what will happen in the future. Among the ways that Oprah preaches, has any of these ways tell us what is to come? Does Oprah know where World War III will start? This will start soon. And it will be dark all over the world for one year!



Please remember the above way of knowing whether the god we worship is the true God or not. It is only through prophecies.
