ok, so i finally watched it, and i'm seeing a potential witch hunt.
1. So oprah said whatever people thinks she said. Big Whoop. she aint the author of my faith. Ninjas be ackin like she the pope.
2. in i dont hear her negating Jesus sacrifice, but moreso choosing to focus on his paradigm while He walked the Earth, referred to the "Christ consciousness", hmm, sounds like "kingdom thinking" to me.
3. at 1:07, she prefaces her statements with, "what I hear you say is...." she is making note of the fact that this is what the author is saying.
4. regarding the "one way" thing, well, there ARE MANY ways to LIVE, and MANY ways man will be able to see God, but only ONE WAY by which he will say "well done, my good and faithful servant." errybody that finally sees Him, wont necessarily have a happy ending.
5. re: god in man's image, first, she was reading what someone else wrote, and she said, "that's how i felt", not that's how i FEEL. Does she feel like that now? i dunno, i forgot to ask her at thE tea party.
<t-block, put me in Gb rite quick...>
6. Looking at Jesus differenly: Well, too many people seem to like the romanticized "beat-to-a-pulp-stuck-up-on-a-cross-Jesus".
I choose to revel in the "master-teacher-while-on-the-earth-Jesus",
the "He-man-kick-down-the-gates-of-hell-keys-snatchin-Jesus",
the "fulfiller-of-the-promise-Jesus",
the "advocate-to-the-Father-Jesus"
the"holy-ghost'-dispatching-Jesus"
So, looking at him different aint so bad.
i do believe that she is treading dangerous ground, and those that dont THINK FOR THEMSELVES, could be misled, BUT, people shouldnt look to a TALK SHOW HOST for spurchal guidance. Big mistake.
Make sure your house is clean, and invite the people over thereby to see a clean house, instead of worryin about somebody else's venetian blinds..(not directed at any one here, but moreso those that feel the 'burning need' to expose "the anti-christ that is Oprah".)
