I didn't watch the video, but I know that she's started her own religion. She's really became her own god worshipping herself.
But as God's word states, there aint nothing new under the sun
Oprah's not the first, and she won't be the last. Hey, you ever hear of a guy named L. Ron Hubbard? How about Timothy Leary?
I suppose what I find interesting about all 3 of the above named individuals, is they all share an affinity toward one form or another of psychology. things that make ya go hmmm...

Thanks for that Oats, that seems to be a 80's show going by the hair styles. I wonder where she stands today, she seems to send mixed signals. I have seen Kirk Franklin on the show and she claims to be a big fan of his. And there have been many other Christians on the show. I have heard her countless times use the word God, and then she goes against God with gay rights, and the belief that Islam is okay too. She is one of the richest females on earth if not the richest, and even though she says that she's has been blessed with this fortune, I really still think that she does not believe in the God of the Bible, she seems to pick and choose what she wants to believe.

Watched the entire video.
There was an old article about her, said to be from her father, (it wasn't a very reliable magazine), and it had him in despair over her forgetting how she was bought up as a Christian.
I've wondered why the scriptures seem to have it in for the rich, but I think one passage said something about where your treasure is, that is where your heart is also. The richer you become, (moneywise), it seems the more you rely on it then God.
We can only pray for Oprah and many others like her if she hasn't already come back to God via Jesus.

Read Psalms 73:1-17 about the rich and pay close attention to verse 17 after reading the preceding verses.
Psalm 73 (King James Version)
Psalm 73
<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-15022">1</sup>Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.
<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-15023">2</sup>But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-15024">3</sup>For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-15025">4</sup>For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-15026">5</sup>They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-15027">6</sup>Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.
<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-15028">7</sup>Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-15029">8</sup>They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-15030">9</sup>They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-15031">10</sup>Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-15032">11</sup>And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-15033">12</sup>Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-15034">13</sup>Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.
<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-15035">14</sup>For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-15036">15</sup>If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.
<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-15037">16</sup>When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
<sup class="versenum" id="en-KJV-15038">17</sup>Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.

If id been Oprah i would have challenged those women, yes Jesus is the way the truth the life, you say there is only one way , why is there so many different denominations, all following Jesus in a different way ,
then there are some that have a form of Godleness, but denie the power there of,
others who do not enter in reality and stop those who want to enter from entering, What Jesus presented really threatened the way religion was being run, by the leaders and elders of Israel, they did not reconize him or his teaching,
i think a lot of people are looking for Jesus, what they dont want is what some churches are presenting as christian,
and this is the way you have to follow jesus,
Sinda sing in the book the saffron robe, Jesus appeared to him, in person, and put it on his heart to go to tibbet, where he saw the Dalah Lama,
when he came to the west , during the industrail revolution, he looked around at all the activity, and said when do these people ever find time to feed their spirit, such was the pace of life,
even more so today. he still wore his hindu garments, but found a spiritual fullness through Jesus , he had not found being a hindu.
its like the blind man, who said all i can say is once i was blind now i can see, i experencing some thing here, i dont know why, i cannot explain what has happened, but i can see,
God says he will pour out his spirit on man kind, ad people could be moved and touched by the Lords spirit,
filled with Gods spirit, and follow Jesus, and it may not look like our christianity,
church meetings, but the spirit and life of God is within them. could even be said more so than the churches in the west, or western form of christianty, may be alot more spiritual, if you catch my drift. maybe johnny

It's amazing [and a shame] what passes as Idolatry in today's society. I find no worth in the lady.

Im sure Jesus does as also with others, pray she experences in the purest form, that returning to her first love, returning and finding Gods love for her,
maybe she will come to under stand why its written God is a jealous God, she should ask her self does God have feelings to,
Jesus warns there will be many false christs, false teachers, that will lead people a stray. new age, truth movement, enough truth to lead people up the garden path, so a shame if she is holding up, and being taken in by such people, if they are indeed false teachers?
the truth about the truth movement ,is they carnt handle the truth. Jesus said I AM the truth.
