Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes unto the Father but by me."

Interestingly, New Thought would agree and affirm this statement. They would say that Jesus was speaking from the posture and position as "The Christ." They'd wholeheartedly say "Yes!! Christ is the way the truth and the life! Amen!" Now after watching the video, and knowing what "Christ" means to them, you can see how twisted that interpretation is.

Being someone with diagnosed OCD, this concept of your thoughts control your reality brought me so much anxiety. For those who might not be aware, OCD isn't just repetitive actions but also repetitive scary thoughts that can get stuck in a loop. So to survive my brain I had to do away with that belief that your thoughts create your reality. Thoughts are just thoughts and I surrender them to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit

[@sofiyak]

Thankfully our thoughts don't control reality! Not only can thoughts be mistaken and outright lies, but we can replace them with God's truth. Not only that but we can simply bring them captive at Jesus' feet, allowing them to go by like waves passing through. ❤

[@MoonTyphoon-j4u]

Maybe I am ocd too because I often wondered… I identify with what you said. Back before I became a Christian, I was deep into New Age. I was never happy, always thirsting, never drinking. And it put me into a downward spiral, because anytime my life wasn’t perfect, I believed “I caused it”, by not thinking “positively enough”. Because I thought I caused my own unhappiness, every time my life wasn’t perfect, I blamed myself. Which made my life less perfect, which was also my fault, which spiralled me down pretty quick and kept getting worse.

[@Window4503]

@@micahsnow346I once did a breakdown of the original Lie into basic principles. It’s pretty versatile for all sort of beliefs and systems: 1. Surely you won’t die - I can grab eternal life or create my own destiny and God is lying about sin and its consequences 2. For God knows that when you eat of it - God or his representatives are liars and just trying to control you. You know better than him. 3. Your eyes will be opened - You just need the right knowledge and the ability to see what was hidden 4. And you will be like God - You have divine potential or you are the master of your reality 5. Knowing good and evil - you can determine your own morality and God is trying to confuse you.

Oprah was a total gateway for me to new age/thought in the early 2000s. Spent 20+ years wandering in the desert of that nonsense. Finally realized she was "off" when she basically started telling women to leave their families to "find" their happiness. I had a husband and small children at the time and I was mortified. Such absolute BS! Then her best friend Gayle left her husband and I was finally hit over the head with the deception she was peddling. Such sick lies! Finally came home to Him at 58 (grew up as a Lutheran confirmed into the faith as a preteen). Finally realized His Truth. Saved in 2023 at 58, baptized on Resurrection Sunday 2024. Praise God! 🙏 He is ever patient and faithful. Biggest regret, because of my choices and influences like her, my children do not know Jesus. I pray for them every day and pray my witness plants seeds of wanting to know Him. All is possible WITH God. I'm so grateful I found Him again. Never have I known such love and peace.

What I finally realized is that we would sing The Lord's Prayer - "Thy will be done" - while manifesting away, having no desire to know or care what God wanted. And we completely ignored Jesus. Unity people talk about love, and how we are supposed to love everyone, but they mean the feeling of connection, not actual love where you sacrifice for others. Everyone was starting a reiki business or life planner, etc. but there was no real acts of love. Just a lot of manifesting.

Oprah is one of the greatest deceivers of the last 50 plus years. What makes her such a "good" deceiver is that she easily manipulates so many people. She started out as everyone's friend. People of all ages and colors loved her show. Suddenly everyone is hooked and hanging on her every word. Then very gradually she starts off having well-known Christian pastors or speakers on her show. Then little by little she adds new age and other types of "faiths" into the mix. So slowly that people don't even realize it. Then she leaves her show and starts and Sunday morning show. It looks like its a feel good self help show. What it really was , was deception. Leading people down to the path of self belief. She worships self. She's her own higher power. She thinks that positive thoughts and self reflection will lead you to your own paradise. No need for God in her world. She is her own god. So many people falling for and believing every word she says. As the Bible says in Matthew 7:13-14 Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Christians (especially those who live countries and societies, like the U.S., with citizens who hold a wide variety of beliefs systems and religions) need to study the major worldviews that are espoused by large groups of people in the world.

I don't think it's an accident (or a coincidence) that Oprah had "big-ticket" giveaways on her show; I think that she wanted to amp up people's desire for *things.* And I think that much of what she's said on camera--like her statement about people "receiving the desires of [their] hearts"--is evidence of her goal to mislead people.

[@amyhenningsgard197]

She agree that she made the mistake of jumping to the wrong (negative) conclusion about the character of God, because she didn't read God's word for herself, or inquire from someone who could explain what the scripture passage meant. Pride gets in the way of seeking the truth, when someone believes that they already know the truth. I hope that Oprah will read the Bible, and be blessed by the glorious Gospel Truth of who Jesus Christ really is, and what he did for her/us.

[@Jessica_Jones]

If you consider her skewed perspective of having authoritative figures in her life controlling her, likely showing signs of toxic jealousy, it actually makes a ton of sense that that was a red flag for her. Like Melissa said, she went from being told she was completely powerless to pendulum swinging all the way over to finding comfort in being told she is fully powerful.

It seemed fake.

It was fake. I also doubt a lot of those children are truly ‘missing’ from the actual incineration of Lahaina. They know where these children are. Oprah’s friend “Wayne the rock” is into hurting children. It’s a fact and he was interviewed making jokes about it but it’s been scrubbed as well.

It is very enticing and exhilarating. But you are 💯 right: it’s never ending. When Oprah said, “when Jesus came down, to TEACH us…”, that was the crux of the problem: she does not acknowledge who He really is. He came to teach, but more importantly, He came to REDEEM us. The atonement was His purpose. Without it we cannot return to live with God. Thanks for this!

I used to watch Oprah and as I matured in my Christian walk, I realized that she is of the world. She caters to all these beliefs because she realized she could draw a bigger audience. She has become a thought leader for the lost and the spiritually thirsty. Being a follower of Jesus means that you are to follow Him, and most importantly that you glorify Him and Him alone. Hollywood and unfortunately all the people following them want to walk the broad easy road. Being a Christian is not easy but as a Christian, we live in Jesus. I think Oprah realized being a true Christian was not going to get her where she wanted to be in her career and the level of clout and celebrity she saw that she could reach. Unfortunately, there are so many using their platform to lead people astray.
