The first step is in accepting that no one path has all the answers.
I am sorry but that is New Age and not Christianity. There is only one true path and that is Jesus Christ.

Precisely. Christ taught us how we can all become masters as he was.

He walked this earth to demonstrate what all humans are capable of achieving through a mastery of consciousness - a balance between the masculine and the feminine, an alignment with the power the binds all life, an illumination of all 7 chakras, if you would like to use eastern lingo.

It is all just different ways of explaining what Christ demonstrated in the flesh.

I have no idea what "New Age" is. It was some quasi-religious movement that rose up in the 70s. Everytime I encounter people who call themselves that, I am compelled to run away. They seem very confused.

Oprah is promoting the New Age movement.

She seeks praise while denying the one true path.

God is manifesting not as one man, but through all humans. As prophecy suggests, the time is come for Christ to return. Rather than one person, it is an awakening of the consciousness of all to realize we can all become what he was.

No book contains the Word of God. No need for scripture. Just trust your intuition.

Oh. Well, if that's the case, then one would be hard pressed to see who is doing more good from a source of love - her or someone like Jerry Falwell.

I dont know if I can agree with this completely.

I trust the Holy Spirit because the intuition is of the heart and the heart is a deceitful thing.

We considering Falwell is dead, I would still have to say him. She seeks self glorification and much of what he did was in secret.

I'm not asking you to agree with me. Just as you speak your truth based on your experience, I speak mine based on mine. Through it, we gain insights into the larger truth. I've learned quite a bit talking to fundamentalists on this forum.

I guess I can't fully agree with your charge that one must deny her truest self in favor of some external force demanding worship. Why would God create humans capable of self-awareness and then spend centuries getting them to deny that self-awareness?

It just doesn't make any sense.
