Oprah says there can not possibly be only one way to God.

[TreeOfLife]

I have no doubt that Jesus saves. I simply stated that I could not emphatically tell someone of a different faith or culture that they are damned unless they believe the way that I do.

Study harder.

Study harder.

And I'm thinking Mission work might not be your calling...just a thought.

Well, you wouldn't have to put it that way, but sweetie, would you not feel responsible for them? Would you not feel convicted of the Holy Ghost if you did not give them the love of God by way of your testimony? If you know the truth and fail to give them the truth knowing the eternal consequences that they would face, would you not feel guilty on judgment day to see them go to hell knowing that you had the words of life that could have saved them?

ROFL!!!

It's no secret that Oprah has been involved with the universalist church for a very long time.

This is nothing new.

Jesus is the only way to salvation, the only door to God. Tell them the truth because the truth sets them free.

C’mon guys, the Very and Always Right Reverend Dr. Oprah has spoken. We should drop the subject.

I have often wondered about this. What conclusion are we to make of someone, raised in a foerign land in a different cultural setting, who has been taught from birth that Islam, or Hinduism, or something else is true, and has no reason to question that. They are devout in their beliefs, live a good moral life and do basically the same things Christians do. Yet, to that person, Christianity sounds as fake as we might view the religion of their land.

Are we to conclude that God doesn't accept them because they were born with a cultural bias other than Christian?

We are to conclude that before the end of the age, EVERY gentile will have heard the gospel, the truth, and given an opportunity to align him/herself with that truth.

Are you aware that there are many extremely primitive tribes who when someone has witnessed to them about Jesus say "Oh, that's his name. We knew there was someone but didn't know his name!" Personally I feel that those tribes because they believed without knowing his name are saved! They are saved because they believed what God wrote on their hearts.

I honestly don't know the answer. Perhaps there are multiple roads leading to the same destination. I know what I believe, but am not so arrogant as to proclaim superiority over the rest of humanity. How then does one balance the belief that God loves the entire world with the belief that Christianity is the only path that leads to God and to eternal life?

Are you a new Christian? Mark, our God is all powerful. He made one path to himself and cannot (not won't, but cannot) allow any other.

[BIBLE]1Timothy 6:10[/BIBLE]

It happens to so many that why it's hard for some that are rich to make it into the kingdom b/c they depend on the money more than there God. Or once they get rich they forgot who put them in the place and who can take them out, it's a lesson for those who don't believe that it's true about money. It's not really the money in a way it's what the person does with the mmoney one thing to like using it to buy things it's another when you start to love money.Another thing it's not true with all people who are rich jus those who love money it's a dangerous thing putting something in front of God b/c he will take whatever it is from us if that is what it takes. Now I am going to be honest, way back I thought she was possbily a chrisitan wasn't 100% sure or would bet on it or anything but it was a little bit of a shocker/wake up call.That people aren't who they seem sometimes. I pray that it won't happen to any of us and we will con.'t to love God not just for what he has done for us just b/c he is God

 

[Godslilgurlalways]

I sat here and think as someone has spoken here before Oprah has spoken.

And going down the wrong track has spoken and did more harm than good, has spoken nothing right, power of life and death is in the tongue that is why we must watch what she says may God have mercy on her

Actually, I like Oprah. But she ought to leave theology to the theologians.

Chuck Norris is a christian (a real one) I think. I read a column he did in a christian mens magazine. It was very good.

I thought that was pretty cool.

hummm, isnt she the one that backed a person who made money off the plight of the ill (addiciton) even after knowing he lied.

Does FRYE rings a bell?

I WILL ANSWER THAT - YES SHE DI UNTIL CAUGHT.
OWNING UP TO SOMETHING ONLY WHEN CUAGHT IS DOES NOT COUNT AS BEING A GOOD PERSON.

Oh - and yes she has done a lot for people - in some way. But how hard is that to do - or appear to do - when you have made billions from them and are not givning when you too are in need???

All of the gifts she lavishes on people at her show is for publicity and she needs the right offs. So why not make it a big spalsh - ALL FOR THE WRONG REASONS.

Does anyone know if she has developed housing for needy people - given shcolarships for underprivledged etc...with her money.

Has she really helped the people who need it - not people in her audience?

I do not know - I am asking if you do know??

And NO I dont 'dislike' her - I just want the truth here.

Oh - and yes she has done a lot for people - in some way. But how hard is that to do - or appear to do - when you have made billions from them and are not giving when you too are in need??? It means a lot more to give when you do not have. Dont get me wrong - I am glad she does what she does. But I wonder....

Did she give when she was poor? Why do I ask? Well.....

All of the gifts she lavishes on people at her show could be for publicity and she needs the right-offs. So why not make it a big spalsh - ALL FOR THE WRONG REASONS. Do you think this is the case?

'O' - an could it be that the majority of things she does give away is at a HUGE discount for advertising on her show - if not a full charge to them for the goodies?

I think it is great when everyone got the cars. However - it would have been better used for people who did not drive one to her show. You know - families that really dont have a car. Thoughts on this?

Does anyone know if she has developed housing for needy people - given scholarships for underprivledged children, what about the basics - food? etc...

Has she really helped the people who need it - not people in her audience?

I do not know - I am asking if you do know??

And NO I dont 'dislike' her - I just want the truth here.

I didn't know that but does a mistake make a person a bad person?
My query is who are we to judge that. In fact we are told not to judge others because when we do we bring judgement on ourselves.
David selpt with another man's wife got her pregnant so got the husband killed - does that make him a bad person. Actually God said he was a man after his own heart. From this point of view we need to be really careful when we start to point the finger

He was a man after God's own heart because he knew how to repent and get right with God, not because of the murder and adultery. Oprah can repent too
