Oprah~ Selfish ambition, part 2

Doubt is everywhere. The basic fundamental premise of this view is doubt. God isn't who we would be if we were god. Therefore it's easier to pick who we think god should be, rather than acknowledge Christ.
Unfortunately, sometimes, I think you and I are not excluded from this as well. Your right, Satan is more influential than we give him credit for. Reality is out there, God is real, Satan is real, the world is selfish. Whether we believe it or not, the world will keep coming closer to the end and farther away from God. How do we not just give up on the world and hide in our four walls of the church? I love the quote from Jude. Aside from God, we are helpless and wanderers. Praise be to the one true God.
To use Oprah as a tool, wow! This is real! This isn't some made up story of mythology. It's really happening. There is a real war, and real people are in the middle of it. The question becomes, what are you doing about it? Am I a voice calling out to the world, or am I hiding in the safety of my corner looking for excuses in doubt? If only I had faith the size of a mustard seed, I could move a mountain...

Where did Oprah go wrong?
No after life... If there is no after life, there is no accountability to God for our chooses, hence this is why this view might be appealing. But if there is no accountability, there is no good or just God.
Source of truth... Oprah has no source of truth, but herself. Somehow we think we know whats best for ourselves and totally discount history or any reliable sources. The burden of proof lays in her lap to account for her overlooking of historical literature (i.e. the bible)
Picking and choosing from opposing religions... The law of non-contradiction says that you can't have equally opposing views be valid. All religions have claimed to be the only way. Even Oprah's new-age wave claims to be the only way. At some point you have to ask which religion is reliable and not just theory. Who is God? The hard truth is, He is not me and he does not have my will. God has His own agenda, whether we like it or not... and He is very Good
