Speaking of Fakers...

Posted by Eric at 12:40 AM

Here's a woman with mountains of cash, and no ticket. If she had a ticket the Spirit of God would be speaking to her and telling her that Eckhart Tolle, while not strictly a heretic, is nonetheless lost and teaching heresy.

Oprah is doing an online webcast-seminar with Mr. Tolle, teaching heresy. Here's an excerpt from her latest Book Club selection, and the text book for the seminar,


Don’t get attached to any one word. You can substitute 'Christ' for presence, if that is more meaningful to you. Christ is your God-essence or the Self, as it is sometimes called in the East. The only difference between Christ and presence is that Christ refers to your indwelling divinity regardless of whether you are conscious of it or not, whereas presence means your awakened divinity or God-essence.

--Eckhart Tolle
The New Earth


Here's a little perspective on Oprah's situation. Eckhart's as well. And anyone one else seeking worldly wealth, power, and influence...

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

--Mark 8:36


It won't matter how much good she does in this life with her money, power, OR influence. If she doesn't have a ticket, she won't get in no matter HOW wide open Jesus swung the gates.

    It's sad to see someone who apparently has so much influence use it to guide people away from God instead of toward Him.

    Amen.

    Question now is-- for all she talks about being raised in a little Alabama church, has she ever known God? It's hard for me to imagine that a Spirit filled soul could go so far astray.

    I used to really admire Oprah. To some extent I still do considering her level of achievement. But what she is doing now that she has success is quite another thing. She has definitely taken a wrong turn somewhere.

    Well, I can't say anything positive about Tolle or his teachings. If he means one can substitute Christ for whatever-floats-one's-boat, well, no. If he means that one can swap the word "Christ" for some other words that has meaning as to one's own personal walk *with* Christ, that's another thing. But I doubt that's what he meant.
