Oprah~ Selfish ambition, part 1

http://youtube.com/watch?v=JW4LLwkgmqA

Is God a jealous God? How can he not be... We constantly set ourselves up on pedestals, and think that we individually know whats best for our lives and for those around us. Oprah has completely taken God out of the picture and created a spirit-utopia that cannot and will-never exist. Essentially, she has used philosophy and world religions like a buffet line and just chosen what sounds good to her, ignoring laws of science and the contradictions in her own beliefs. If she scrutinized her beliefs as much as she has the "one way theory" she'd see her own ignorance. Oprah is living, fundamentally, a hope theory. "I hope we're all good and OK."
If God is good, we all fall short and somehow that problem has to be answered for. God provides the spring of life, but were just too prideful to drink. This is why God is a jealous God, we have chosen and will always chose our own rebellious ways, but in His love he has chosen to redeem those who will accept His free payment in Jesus Christ. If only we would realize our desperate need for Him, this is where God wants us to be. Good people don't know God, forgiven people know God...
You may ask-"what about those who are good but don't look to Christ, that's not fair?" Everybody is invited, everybody gets in the same, everybody has to make a chose during their life; what's more fair than that?

What would happen if people looked to God and stopped looking to Oprah?

"My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water." Jeremiah 2:13
