    Oprah Denies Christ

     

     

    Food for thought:

     

     

    Do not believe everything that you read in the newspapers, hear on

    the radio, or see on television or youtube. I was browsing through a

    forum and I read the title “Oprah denies Christ, Trouble for Obama”! I

    quickly clicked the link because I was curious as to where this

    information could be coming from. Low and behold; the same bible toting

    soldiers who have been claiming Barack Obama is a Muslim and

    substituting Jesus’s love message with hate for all those who do not

    believe as they do, are behind this same message. These same

    evangelists, as they call themselves must have never read the book of

    Romans where we are taught not judge for if we judge then we condemn

    ourselves.

     

     

    So I watch the clip and Oprah did no such thing, I am not writing

    this to support Oprah but to ask people to take the lid off of their

    truck yard minds and allow objective thoughts and reason to seep

    through. I am a Christian man, I go to church on Sundays when my time

    permits. I send out daily messages that quote the scripture in the

    bible. This is all fact; I also listen to the teachings of Brother

    Malcolm, Louis Farrakhan, Father Pfleger, and a host of other spiritual

    leaders. I post quotes of the day from spiritual leaders such as the

    Great Buddha, Dali Lama and other figures who do not represent

    Christianity. To tell me because I understand that we are all praying

    to the same God and just calling him different names is the most

    bigoted, ignorant, non-factual statement that I have ever heard.

     

     

    Spirituality is about finding the God within; Jesus never taught us

    to hate or judge anyone! Instead he taught us to love and care for one

    another, the same principles that other religous groups teach

    throughout their teachings. The way that media outlets are using these

    types of edited, chopped up videos to perpetuate a message of evil is

    rather disgusting. Rather than unify the people of this world under God

    and create a love language, we would rather use our differences to

    create further division; only heightening the problems of the world. So

    the next time you get an email, or a message like the video I am about

    to show you, think objectively before you react to the propaganda that

    fear mongers and hate mongers put forth in order to create more chaos

    in the world as we know it. Peace and Grace be unto you!
