Christian Vs. Oprah: What You Didn’t See in This Controversial Clip.

[@zacmurdaugh]

I watched Oprah all the time. Every day. Loved her book club. I was watching the day this aired. I watched this play out. When she said there are more than one way to God. I stood up and told her she was wrong! And when I turned off the TV after that show, I said I would never watch her show again. Ever. Oprah is wrong.

[@JuliePenney-y5u]

I’m old enough to have watched this video live. I remember thinking Oprah was lost and was surprised because she had touted as being a Christian. You have to understand that at the time, Oprah was almost like a god in people’s minds. For those women to speak up took tremendous courage. I think they did their best in what was a very hard atmosphere. They brought it back to Jesus and that’s always a good thing.

[@sunnydaze1185]

Yep, she was definitely idolized as a guru/god.

[@stacyr3743]

Yes, I’m a gen-Xer. I remember that reverence for Oprah. It was very brave of those woman to stand upon the truth and defend Jesus, who tells us clearly who he is. I think Oprah led a friend of mine astray with this particular argument. I believe this was around 8th or 9th grade, and we were very easily influenced. This friend watched Oprah every day after school. I was the Christian in my friend group, and I remember having uncomfortable conversations, and getting the kind of push back that Oprah gave those women.

Amen! Went from traditional Christian (New Testament focused) to a Messianic form of study. I was never taught about Yeshua fulfilling Torah or that the law never changed. I am no longer a dispensationalist, rather a part of B'nei Israel. Shalom Sister.

[@pegandrews2615]

​@VictorianLace I began by following the reading plan through the Bible Recap and listening to her commentaries as I read each day. I still use her plan because I like it, but I no longer listen to her. I use a variety of different commentaries. I'll read that days reading and think about it on my own, write my thoughts down and then read various commentators thoughts. I listen to Mike Winger a lot for insight, as well. The reading plan is a Chronological reading plan, too. That helps me alot.

[@Seeking_Him]

@VictorianLace I wrote a lengthy response, 39 mins after your question and now it is gone! did the algorithm delete it already?!

[@Seeking_Him]

@VictorianLace (rewriting original comment that disappeared 🤔) I was gifted a Cepher Bible and this really peaked my interest in Hebrew and the sacred name of God. I then discovered Messianic Judaism and began reading the parshas- weekly readings from the Torah, the Prophets and the New Testament. We began honoring Shabbat on Saturday(the true day of rest). We began to incorporate the Levitical diet and cut out certain foods. We started celebrating the feast days and the festivals in the Bible. We celebrate Passover and Hanukkah and stopped doing Easter and Christmas. The best help was finding Messianic Rabbis and learning the ways of the Hebrew traditions (the way Yeshua lived). Rabbi Eric Tokajer has been fundamental in my learning and I would encourage you to look him up. I feel much closer in my walk with YAH and I am so grateful to have found this form of worship. There is a lot to take in, it takes time to make the changes but they are so fulfilling to feel like you're trying to honor Him the way He commands. Blessings and I hope you'll reach out if you want to talk more!

[@Seeking_Him]

@VictorianLace I literally rewrote the comment and it is gone again. Look up Rabbi Eric Tokajer and the foundations of Messianic Judaism.

Thank you for the service you are providing for thousands of people in telling the truth about so many different things on so many different levels. In this day of new age 'garbage' or 'thought' I find myself getting so frustrated as I watch so many people getting led down that wide road away from Jesus.

When I was in wof they always encouraged us to read our Bible. And said it helped affirmed they taught truth. But I did that. I read mine. I prayed. I specifically prayed for discernment. And on top of all the red flags I began to notice what they said isn’t what the Bible says. And so yea they encouraged me to read the Bible. Until I questioned their teachings. Then I’m given books written by wof leaders like Ken Hagin and others to set me straight. They were not happy when I gave the books back saying I didn’t read them and left their church. Seek truth. Ready your Bible in prayer. Study. Don’t just read it and go on. Stop and meditate on it. Ask God questions. Look up words and their original uses and meanings. Historical context.

When I turned 70…I knew I had never read the Bible from Genesis to Revelations. I had started it several times but could never get thru Genesis. It always lost me with all the begets and begots. I felt intimidated that I wouldn’t understand the Bible unless it was delivered to me by a Pastor. Many years passed with many failures. So when I turned 70 I was determined to just read it even if I didn’t understand it. Im on my 2nd reading now and I feel so connected to my Heavenly Father. (It took many months I might add.) I have a different connection with The Word than ever before. I have a thirst for knowledge. Not a scholarly knowledge but a personal knowledge. It’s so much bigger than I can explain. I guess the point to my script is, give yourself the time to learn in your own understanding what is meant by God’s words and promises to us. We truly are Children of God and he loves us as a Father would love his child. Warts and all. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I was an original viewer of this episode. I was 35 years old and a Christian for 14 years. So I can relate to Kathy totally. All of this was somewhat "new" to a Christian at this time. There were no books about these topics in relation to apologetics. This is when "new age thought" was coming into vogue and the infant stage of infiltrating the Church. That's why the audience applauded when biblical views are voiced. You have the benefit of time on your side. Most people back then had never heard of terms like "Christ consciousness". I had never heard of it and as a Christian thought I was conscious of Christ. I THANK YOU VERY MUCH for this. This is EXCELLENT. God Bless You for all your effort.

My Near Death Experience came in 1966, I was only 14 years old. Believe me, NO ONE was talking about NDEs, or making money off the books and videos 58 years ago. I died by slamming into a rock retaining wall at high speed on a bicycle, literally flying down a downhill run on a steep canyon road. I impacted at full speed after the brakes failed and was pitched over the handlebars, slamming head-first into the wall. I went up a dark tunnel, riding upward like on an elevating platform and emerged in Heaven. Our Father's house was a crystalline building of enormous dimensions. It was nothing short of awe inspiring and beautiful beyond words. There was a chorus of joyful souls singing in unison, praising our loving God. There were no revelations, there were no prophecies to bring back. There was just the knowledge I have never forgotten; there is a Heaven and God is the Creator and King of all that was and ever will be. Anyone who comes back and claims to have seen and spoken to God raises my eyebrows in doubt. I did not see God, but I felt his love, like a warm, glowing embrace encompassing everything. But I knew He was hidden from my eyes as, even in my form which was neither pure spirit or earthly flesh; I could not gaze directly upon the living, awesome beauty of the LORD and survive. There was a figure standing with me, but I could not make out who he was. He just simply explained, "This is not for you. You have to go back." And I did. It was sudden, and pure agony, being sucked back into my broken body. Trapped in my flesh, I never felt more alone. Perhaps this is why Jesus wept for us and has such empathy for humanity. We are abjectly alone physically, always striving for "true love" and seldom finding it because we can't truly connect with each other until we enter God's heavenly realm after physical death. In my life, I have finally come to understand that the true love we seek is embodied in our love for Jesus Christ, who died horribly and rose again so we could live in eternity with Him. Just remember, all prophecy is finished, and it is contained in total for us to learn in the Holy Bible. The last piece of prophecy is directly from Jesus Christ in the Book of Revelation. The Bible has all we need to know to understand our times, and to know the holy mind of God. A great place to begin is to turn to The Book of Job. I am suspect of anyone who comes back from an NDE and professes to have seen and talked to God and given some new revelation or prophecy from Him.

The 'Name doesn't matter, call God whatever you want' issue is troubling. I thought of the ways we've seen over the past few years that names (or some terms, eg. man and woman) don't matter any longer in culture. Names offer distiction and value, recognition of whom you are speaking. God's name matters, it matters a lot. Blurring it by saying, "you can call God whatever you want!. Call God 'the Sky', or 'Nature' or 'the Force', whatever!" No! Any kind of term that diminishes His sovreignty and power is a sign of disrespect in my mind. A term of endearment, like Father, still shows recognition of His value to us, but the flippant terms used to get a laugh in a sermon, or to 'bring Him to our level' can be gross and ugly. Our Creator and Sustainer deserves better. [if you've stayed this long through my comment, thanks! :) ]

[@youtubeKathy]

I cringe when I see people say things like this, or the God doesn't care what you wear to church. However, the only passage we see Christ angry is at the disrespect shown in the temple. Blurring of the sacred space with the secular. The disregard for the proper decorum God commands from us is very disrespectful.

[@MrMrs-g2w]

Through your comment, the Holy Spirit just made me realize something really obviously wrong about my thinking. I would say "a rose by any other name is still a rose" just like rose has different names in other languages so it didn't matter. But your comment made me consider this: a rose in other languages carries the same meaning and definition: red petals, distinct smell, symbol of love and symbolic thorns as potential for pain... etc. But when we decide to call a rose a dandelion, that will of course her of all the majesty of a rose because the other names have DIFFERENT meanings, we can't just swap it, words are not fungible. I have been reverent to God but maybe sort of tolerating others use of how people want to call our God. But your comment just clarified the fault of my logic, I was off track. Thank you!!

Especially since everyone calls the Creator, God, Lord, Father, him, he. We do know that Christ Jesus is male, so he would be God, or Lord, but maybe not so much a human father but a spiritual Father. So who is the one who Jesus prayed and gave sacred service to? Who is the One who created genders? Jehovah? Which by the way means; causes to become. A name that was removed from scripture over six thousand times. Tiresome indeed.

The gift from Jesus truly is His gift and there is nothing else to be added upon His grace, for His grace is His gift. Jesus Christ truly is The One and only God and at the same time He is The Holy Spirit; The Great I AM; The Creator; The Alpha and Omega; The Beginning and Forevermore.

Exodus 17:15: "And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi: For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation." Judges 6:24: 'And Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called it Jehovah-shalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites."

Feel free to ask me any questions you might have. I know some answers but I also love to research for answers too. I've followed Jesus almost 50 years now with no regrets. I love how Melissa says what Jesus offers is so much better than anything else.

Praying for you to have eyes that see Jesus fully through reading His Word. Have a beautiful day!

[@SoulClinic-l8j]

Oprah, please seek Jesus Christ because He is the Way, Truth and Life. This rubbish I you have been spouting is a lie. Church itself is not the way to the Lord. It is accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord.

THe TORAH IS the Old Testament!

[@bishop5400]

Oprah doesn't want to talk about "religion" on this episode?? They have been talking about religion the entire time. God is not religious, The religions were made by man under the influence of Satan. Is it really so hard to believe there is only one way to God?. People enter in by one way into places all the time.

[@Chandrell_S]

Oprah introduced me to New Thought. (Found Oprah through Motivation/Self help videos🤦🏾‍♀️) She said "there can't be only one way because what about people who have never heard of Jesus..blah blah". I believed and REPEATED that idea for years! Thank you soooo much for putting this out! Truth must prevail!

[@user-yn7on7ou8n]

Jesus said He is the way, the truth and the life

Remember someone introduced the new thought to her for many years,so we should be careful not to judge her.

@@Marieruth333When the Lord says you KNOW THEM by their FRUIT. He’s telling you to observe and judge it so you can know not to engage, be apart of or entangle yourself with them….So we can judge .

@Breeze3444 he say judge or recognized them. Because he is the one judge. Thanks.

[@Breeze3444]

@@Marieruth333 WRONG…..John 7:24 tells us, "Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment." The Bible has told us to judge, but we are to judge by what is right. We are not to condemn, and we are not to be judgmental. Rather, we should make evaluations. We should be discerning……Shalom

I happen to be a Jew for Jesus, and I am amazed with this video. I knew Oprah was wrong, yet my mind was unclear on a lot of these issues. You did a fantastic job clarifying the issues. lived through those days and even today, never heard the term 'new thoughter] Bit it is so right on. thanks in His amazing grace.

Many blessings ❤

My father had a negative NDE, he saw a place that was full of fire and screams. He described it as somewhere he knew he didn't want to be stuck. When he woke up from his coma and saw us he wept and he was never an emotional person. He dedicated himself to being a better person and showing love towards others after that. It was shocking how drastic of a flip it was.

[@staceyd.herron4781]

I was in high school and remember watching this episode enrapt because it was so volatile. It was the straw that made me stop being an Oprah fan. I'm eager to see what parts weren't aired and hear your thoughts. It's my first time coming across your channel, btw. Ready to dive in.

[@peaceonearth4596]

I THOUGHT KATHY DID A GOOD JOB EVEN IF SHE IS STILL WORKING ON PATIENCE. HE WHO STARTED A GOOD WORK IN ME IS FAITHFUL TO FINISH.

[@peaceonearth4596]

Please do a video on Gnosticism it is hard to find information on it and people don't seem to understand that is what they are entertaining. Hypnosis is growing. Reprogramming and reframing is really dangerous.

[@TamaJarvis]

I love the Old Testament and have read it many times. Every time I read it, I can not escape the fact that it points straight to Jesus. Some may disagree, but when you know, you know. I also agree that God chooses us, but we also have to choose Him back and continue to do so through out our lives.

[@950cindy]

Yes, I love Melissa but He chose her long before she chose Him...Ephesians 1:4-12 and Ezekiel 36:22-37....worth a read for her. Would change her perspective and the Word often does for all of us. If it were up to us, we would be God. We are not Sovreign but He is. If more CHRISTIANS would understand His abilities, the families of the saved would benefit. Faith comes before great miracles, and the faithless thought "It is up to them, negates God's abilities and makes man god," Many should see what happens in the midst of unbelief...Exodus demonstrates how the giants got in the way for the Israelites, while God counted Caleb and Joshua as righteous because they believed God was and is and always will be BIGGER THAN THE GIANTS. Only Holy Spirit draws, We cannot save ourselves EVER. Isaiah 59:21, Isaiah 54:13, Acts in three places promises the household, and Jerremiah 31 talks of taking the children from the enemy. We must know the Word and fight for the faith on our knees and always ready to tell the truth in love. That said, keep your heart clean, forgive always and pray for enemies, take care of the poor, and count God as your best friend. Sit as His feet and remember what one of the accusers stated to Job in Job 22:21-30....saying basically if Job would be close to God, He can save the humble person, and even one not innocent because of the purity of the hands of the one close to God...and this actually happened at the end of the book of Job, when the 3 accusers were made to present animals for sacrifice and God only would listen to prayers for their salvation from JOB.... Let us learn the power of the Word of God. God is in charge ALL THE TIME. He chose us.....many are called and few are chosen... Think...Who choses? We know.

You should see if she'd ever be interested in being interviewed?? Hmm

[@janetspiritofthelivinggod6328]

Please ask her to contact Melissa for an interview!

[@rootlori8117]

I am bummed Melissa doesn't acknowledge Kathy's name! Maybe I am too sensitive.

[@kathleennorton2228]

It would be cool to be able to interview Kathy and, or the other Christian lady today!

[@Rob-ik2cv]

Melissa, I love your wisdom (application of knowledge).

[@shalayne9054]

12:10. In the old testament is how I came to understand who God is. It's so important to read it. Guess what too, He never changes either. I love who God is.

[@lisawilliams5075]

There was a somewhat well known ex-muslim I was listening to. And in his testimony he said that he asked God, sincerely asked Him mind you, which religion was right. His Christian friend had been talking to him for a long time about Jesus. Well God answered him! He showed him the cross.

[@paulvoit5610]

Sounds like Nabeel Quershi and David Wood, maybe.

[@lisawilliams5075]

@paulvoit5610 Nabeel!!! That's it, thank you! I had forgotten his name. David Wood was the friend. It was awesome to listen to.

[@lsmilek]

I remember watching this in 1996 which was also one year in into studying Christian Doctrine at a Lutheran university-college. It was very eye-opening, realizing that Oprah was starting to evangelize people away from Christianity.

[@tinaward1023]

I remember this from Oprah, I never watched her again after this! And I was only 20yrs old at that time

[@jabsmama]

Thanks for doing this! I was 20 when this show aired and it was confusing to watch. Thank God for the Christian woman who shared in our tiny SS class that many teachers/celebrities would speak a word or two that sounded like truth but wasn’t at all Biblical Truth. You’re doing the same as her! God bless you ❤

Yes, subjective morality. It is the "new norm." Do what "feels" right to you. And look where we are now. That sentiment is pervasive.

Dear Melissa I loved this podcast! I listened to the end and I’m packing to travel oversees! I remember vaguely this episode, but like so many others, have lost long ago, the appetite for Oprah. Loved your explanations and as a Reformed Calvinist love you. Christianity is the only true faith and my heart is fully set on Jesus Christ, Name above all and King of kings. Keep this up, we love it. To God be the Glory, great things He has done!! Your sister in Christ!❤❤

[@Nelliyell]

Thank you for this, Melissa! You spoke about difficult missleading arguments thoroughly. Keep doing what you're doing!! :)) You help me get through all the lies and misinformation about Christianity. I hope you'll see this. May God send lots of love and blessings your way 🤍🕊

[@donnahong5998]

I was in my mid 20's when this aired and even though I was in limbo on my faith at that time and part of me did not know if what Oprah was saying had merit I think I remember thinking that the lady who used scripture (I did not know it was scripture at the time) "is The Truth The Way and The Life and know one goes to the Father except through Him" I felt in my spirt at the time that she was right! But still I went on to get sucked into the Neal Donald Walsh books that lead me into new age thinking.

[@MrMrs-g2w]

100% Same here! I went deeper into new thought, new age, and occult. Praise the Mighty Lord Jesus for saving us out of that! I accepted Jesus finally only a few years ago, it took me too long!

[@mariacidaliapereiragaidola5405]

I think that some individuals progress in different times it's like walking a soleling long road that only you can walk it to realize what you are,doing&whT it means to you there's a realization period for everyone or most,&whether one accepts it or sees it
