America's Most Popular Theologian

I have said it before and I will say it again, "Oprah Winfrey is America's most popular theologian." If you would like to know what this "theologian" is teaching about God and humanity then you must read this article by Warren Smith.

Here is a quick smattering of what Oprah teaches in "A Course in Miracles," a year long course on New Age doctrine. What she teaches is dangerous, deceptive, and flat out wrong:


“There is no sin. . . "
A “slain Christ has no meaning."
“The journey to the cross should be the last ‘useless journey.”
“Do not make the pathetic error of ‘clinging to the old rugged cross.’”
“The Name of Jesus Christ as such is but a symbol... It is a symbol that is safely used as a replacement for the many names of all the gods to which you pray.”
“God is in everything I see.”
“The recognition of God is the recognition of yourself.”
“The oneness of the Creator and the creation is your wholeness, your sanity and your limitless power.”
“The Atonement is the final lesson he [man] need learn, for it teaches him that, never having sinned, he has no need of salvation.”
