2 Peter 2:1 says, But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves.
One of the most disturbing things that I see happening today is the introduction of new age theology by Oprah Winfrey. Oprah has gained such a high public profile and is a good enough person that many are willing to take anything from her as gospel.
Oprah has had her book club for years and this year to two primary books are A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle and A Course in Miracles by Marianne Willliamson. Both are deeply entrinched in the new age philosophy that we each become our own god. Williamson says, In the end, you will have become your own Teacher, with your own path toward peace, wholeness and love.
