I find myself putting certain people on a pedistal. People who are clearly lost. I say that without judging but with reference to the word. How can one say they are a Christian and prefer living in sin rather than getting married. Who picks and choose which things from the bible they are going to follow and not follow and then say they fear God?
I'm bringing this up because someone who I thought was an outstanding follower of Christ is proving to be a false prophet. The person I am refering to is Oprah.
She speaks to a wide variety of people, all races and society statuses, but I have begun to notice that she is not promoting a good image of a follower. While her not getting married to Steadman is an obvious flaw, she has also promoted some questionable new age philosophies.
I love Oprah and what she has accomplished but I just pray that we can dicern true prophets from the false prophets out there and not get caught up in their lives.
Take heed,
1 John 1
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,
and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.
