Oprah Denies Christ

Shocking, I know...but a few points are made by the ladies of the audience.

GASP!

Really sad, nonetheless.

Oprah believes in Oprah. The fact that she's worth hundreds of millions of dollars probably means that, being rich, God (however she conceives Him) must already love her, so that she doesn't need to bother about Jesus Christ.

I'm not trying to be a smart aleck but is it really shocking to anyone that Oprah is saying such things?

Yes! I'm TOTALLLY SHOCKED? Did you not see my EMPHATIC "Gasp!" in my first post?

Okay, okay. I wasn't shocked at all. My "Gasp!" was a really dispassionate one and filled with sarcasm.

Nonsense, brother. She comforts herself with the quest for 'more'. That way, you have something to look forward to at the end of every day, there's always plenty of foreign automobiles in the garage, and there's always a gnawing feeling that you just don't have enough. It's not an affliction limited to Oprah alone.

Though I've seen that clip before, it still makes me sad that someone so influential with respect to emotional matters could be so misguided.

I don't think the lost are happy or that they find comfort in 'more.'

I'm not so sure... they can be pretty deluded, and I'm sure Oprah is utterly lost and hard of heart so that she DOES (not properly, but actually) take comfort in her blasphemous views of God and eternity.

The most shocking aspect of that video...Christians not only were at the Oprah show, they actually stand up to her!

I don't know how old this clip is, but I seem to remember hearing something like this from Oprah in the first few years of her talk show career. It is probably the reason why I decided not to watch her.

I think she IS probably a very sad woman, her weight issues, relationships, you name it all point to a person who "has it all" and yet nothing. Quite sad.

It is sad. I couldn't help but think by the tone of voice in her comments on the page that she is angry with God for some reason. It usually goes from anger to denial.

21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

No, she has raised herself up as America's golden calf and she loves every second of it. She's a God-hater and she's in the servitude of the enemies of God. She wants to be worshipped and, in large part, she is.

I want to be far, far, far away from the throne when she is judged. She might as well just call herself Caesar or Ba'al.
