Oprah's Different Gospel
Tuesday, July 22, 2008 at 2:18PM 
The Mediator (the quarterly newsletter of the awesome evangelical outreach to Hollywood, MasterMedia Internatonal) reports that Oprah Winfrey now airs a one-hour daily radio show on her XM satellite radio channel that takes listeners through the 365 lessons in the New Age tome "A Course in Miracles." The folks at MasterMedia got their information from truthorfiction.com
If you're not familiar with the teachings of A Course In Miracles (which were supposedly channeled to the author by Jesus) you can check out the quotes on the truthorfiction page above (some of the quotes are from other New Age books, but the ones from ACIM are bad enough on their own) or take a look at this detailed biblical response to the Course. But, if you're pressed for time, these passages should be enough to tell you that Oprah is way, way on the wrong side of Galatians 1:8--
"The exercises teach sin is not real, and all that you believe must come from sin will never happen, for it has no cause. Accept Atonement with an open mind, which cherishes no lingering belief that you have made a devil of God's Son. There is no sin. We practice with this thought as often as we can today, because it is the basis for today's idea."--ACIM workbook, lesson 101"My salvation comes from me. It cannot come from anywhere else."--ACIM Workbook, lesson 70
"Do not make the pathetic human error of 'clinging to the old rugged cross.' The only message of the crucifixion was that we can overcome the cross. Unless you do so, you are free to crucify yourself as often as you choose. But this is not the gospel I intended to offer you."--Chapter 4, The Root of All Evil.
Whoa Mama! Add in her promotion of the similarly heretical views of Eckhart Tolle (see here and here) and past-life regression and you can see that arguably the most influential woman in America is leading her fans down a broad, broad road.

What happens is that one interacts in the moment with the real world, there is constant contradiction which eventually enrages and breaks down the COM brainwashed practioner. The message is repeated over and over again and one must do endless exercises to separate themselves from reality. They are programmed to beleive they are Jesus and can actually perform miracles like Jesus. However, they walk on water and sink.
It has led to mental breakdowns because, as we know, denial is not a river in Egypt. It is a mental illness for those who are "successful."
