One Way or Many Ways?

Before you read this review, you have got to watch this video of a segment from one of Oprah Winfrey's shows. Oprah makes a statement that she believes that there are many paths to "The Light/God" and then she is challenged by a Christian audience member. Watch what happenes: Click here to watch the video.

If you were unaware of Oprah's spiritual beliefs, you have now heard them with your own ears. Oprah is undoubtabley a New Age believer... the video as well as the article about her on the Watchman Fellowship website confirm that.

She is considered to be one of the the most influencial women in the world. Her TV show has a viewing audience of 15-20 million, and it is broadcast in at least 132 countries. Plus, if you are the author of a book that she selects to be highlighted in her Book Club (many authors are also fellow New Age & Unitarian believers), you are guarenteed to sell at least 1 million copies. With all her influence and media exposure, it is scary to realize how much of her warped sense of "spirituality" she spreads to so many people worldwide.

Regarding the video, I applaud the Christian lady for speaking out and challenging Oprah, but like any good skeptic, Oprah did bring up a tough argument: if you never hear about Jesus, can you still go to heaven? Unfortuately, the Christian lady was not well prepared to answer Oprah.

Here's what Jesus Christ says:

John 14:6 -- "Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
John 10:30 -- "The Father and I are one." (in other words, Jesus is God!)
John 3:16 -- "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."
Matthew 7:13-14 -- "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
John 10:9 -- "I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture."

These are just a few of many passage in Scripture that Jesus makes some very serious claims about Himself. Most New Agers would say that Jesus was a good man and teacher, but that's all. However, Jesus clearly claims that He is God and is the only means by which we can be saved and go to heaven. But if Jesus was just a man, then he wouldn't be a good teacher, he'd be a liar and/or lunatic... OR... He is who He says He is... He is the LORD.
