If you haven't heard of "A Course in Miracles" or the proposed "Peace Alliance," then please pay attention. "New Age" queen Oprah Winfrey is promoting both, and it seems that what Oprah wants she gets due to her financial status and her loyal fans. Starting January 1, 2008, she began a daily feature on XM Satellite Radio featuring "A Course in Miracles"-one lesson a day. And also this year, she will have her own television network.
Marianne Williamson has picked up and run with the "Miracles" course, which was channeled to a woman back in the 1960s.In 1965 Helen Schucman heard an "inner voice" saying, "This is a course in miracles-please take note."For seven years she took spiritual dictation from a demon who said he was "Jesus." "A Course in Miracles" has now become the "New Age" bible.
Here are a few statements from the course:
*There is no sin.
*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" is just symbolic of all the gods to which you pray.
*The recognition of God is the recognition of yourself.
*The "atonement" is the final lesson man needs to learn, for it teaches him that, never having sinned, he has no need of salvation.
This should come as no surprise in these latter days as the Bible is clear that some will not give heed to sound doctrine but rather listen to the doctrine of demons (II Tim. 4:3,4).
But the story of Oprah's and Williamson's push for all things unusual and unrighteous does not stop here. Williamson is trying to get a Cabinet level seat as a part of the "Peace Alliance" push by the two women. Check out the Web site on the U.S. Department of Peace.
Think about what the Bible has to say about peace apart from the Prince of Peace. It says it will be a futile effort and even bring destruction (I Thess. 5:3). The Antichrist will play off of peace, but Daniel says "by peace he shall destroy many" (Dan. 8:25). Yet Oprah and friends believe this "Peace Alliance" will usher in an era of global peace founded on "New Age" spirituality. They refer to it as a "civil rights movement of the soul."

LIVE RADIO THIS WEEKEND:Roger Oakland will report on his time at Robert Schuller's "Re-Think" conference in January. A clue: it is bizarre. Also, Dr. Thomas Ice will help us understand the new false Bible prophecy rage, "Kingdom Now/Dominion Theology." This is the teaching that the church will perfect the world for the Lord's return.
We air in these cities and outlets. You can also "listen live" at the Web site of our home station, AM980 KKMS, Minneapolis/St. Paul. We are on from 9 to 11 AM CST with a complete rebroadcast Sunday, 12 to 2 PM CST.
Awaiting His return,

Oprah is one of the biggest bullies that I have ever seen. She preaches love then watch the hate from her when someone disagrees with her. She will pick on some little poor uneducated man from the south who said the word "niger" and humiliate him and use all of her wealth and power to belittle him. Yet she will fall all over a famous rap star that uses the word "niger" and also calls women bitches and ho in his songs. She hates men but not famous men. If she is so against the words niger, bitch and ho then let here attack the popular rap singers that use these words sometimes 50 times in one song. Which man has done the most harm the poor little uneducated man who used the word. No the most harm was done by the popular rap "singers" that can not even make a song without using these words continually. There songs are listened to by millions. It is only the deceived that would even watch her show. Lou Click here to reply to this post

I think this is all you can expect from a celebrity oriented TV show. It must be one of God's ways of separating the wheat from the tares. All we can do is warn our brethren to stay away from such stuff. George Cancilla Click here to reply to this post

I found your article on Oprah and a Course in Miracles on www.christianforumsite.com. I had no idea she was this "way out." I have never viewed her, and probably would not have considered her a Christian, but I did not expect such involvement. Thank you for the information.
Also, I see a DVD of Dr. Youssef show. I get to listen to part of his radio broadcast nearly everyday. I enjoy his messages so much. Click here to reply to this post
