  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

If you watch Oprah Winfrey Check this out!

I have no idea how you could come to the conclusion that I am falling for it, I am warning against it. Did you read the op?

Meaning you're taking it seriously... hence, falling for it.

Remember, for a celeb like Oprah, there's no such thing as bad press. She gains as much from you railing against her as she does if you were to support her... probably more.

My concern is for fence sitters that are not well grounded in their theology and may fall for this strong delusion. Remember the millions of people that she holds sway over.

Again, are we talking her theology, or her endorsement of Obama? She may conflate the two, and you may not be able to separate them, but I have no difficulty seeing the two issues as just that... two issues.

As I said, Oprah is a celebrity endorsing a political candidate... that's what they do, everyone from actors to authors to even porn stars are coming out in support of the people they want to win, and using their celebrity status as a means to that end.

That this celebrity's theology is way out in left field makes her different... how, exactly?

I said nothing about Obama's Christianity other than he is a converted Christian, and that is a true statement.
I am not spreading a lie, or bearing false witness

You said that Obama is an apostate Muslim, which is not true.

I am taking it seriously, but I am 'not' falling for it. This is an absurd jump in logic.

I am taking it serious because she has so many people in the fold, like you, that find no problem with teaching heresy while wrapped up in politics. Have you not heard that there will be a one world religion, this is the beginning of the end for this apostasy.

'this' celebrity 'is different' because no other celebrity is promoting a new age christ that is not Jesus, by her own admission.

I cannot make this plainer, I pray that the scales fall from your eyes to allow you to see plainly.

You created an issue where none was before... giving Oprah, and to a lesser degree, Obama, exactly what they wanted... free publicity.

Because now everyone and their cousin is going to look into the matter just to find out what all the brouhaha's about... And many of them might find Oprah's ideas quite interesting.

You've probably sold her a few extra books... I'm sure she thanks you.

Most of us keep religion and politics separate.. as they should be. They get mixed together by those who fall for it.

Was that before or after the seven-headed dragon? :scratch:

Read up on Scientology lately? Tom Cruise and John Travolta make Oprah look almost mainstream.

I'm afraid Oprah is not the only... nor even the most outrageous... celeb with wacky spiritual beliefs.

I cannot make this plainer, I pray that the scales fall from your eyes to allow you to see plainly.

But suppose I don't want to be plain? ;) Oprah is a celeb endorsing a politician. Oprah is a celeb with a spirituality which sounds like it came off a cereal box.

Neither of these things are all that uncommon... You say these things are related... I remain unconvinced.
