Oh, my goodness! :shock: I couldn't watch more than a few minutes of the video! I stopped watching Oprah quite a while back for no particular reason. Now, I'm glad I did!
My sister just emailed this to me today... Chuck Norris on Oprah's Religion by Diane Singer In an article titled 'Oprah's New Easter,' Chuck Norris has weighed in on the Eckhart Tolle book and Oprah's related online course called A New Earth. Chuck nicely summarizes the tenets of Tolle's belief system, with this evaluation: Like most self-help spiritual texts of this type, it is a blend of half-truths and half-fabrications. One easily could save the purchase price of 'A New Earth' -- and subsequently avoid its misleading remarks -- by reading the Bible, which gives a much more thorough and accurate picture of life's purpose and the methods for overcoming its obstacles.... The reason Tolle's psychology and spirituality is marketed so easily is that it is an eclectic mix of conventional and unconventional wisdom, and Western and Eastern beliefs, presented in a tolerant, non-threatening and nonsectarian way. In other words, it's Religion Light, in which one can be spiritual with little down and no credit. I have long thought that Oprah Winfrey is one of the most dangerous women in America . She's intelligent, funny, charming, charismatic, dynamic, persuasive, and generous, but she is using those qualities to promote a worldview that is anti-Biblical to the core. Every time I see her on TV, I think of how the devil disguises himself as an angel of light. If it's true that she once believed in Christ, then I can only lament how she has fallen away from her first love, and how she is leading so many others astray. She needs our prayers that she will return to Jesus, and then turn her considerable talents back to serving Him instead of a false teacher like Tolle.
I love what Chuck Norris said. Oprah is in for a rude awakening if she doesn't change her ways and one day stands before the Lord. I guess her Heaven is here on earth right now. I'm glad I stopped watching her a long time ago, she is very self-indulgent and loves to toot her own horn while seeming all sweet and generous.
