My nephew sent me this the other day. It is so scary how good people are being deceived by people and that they choose to in turn deceive other. I love Oprah but I am not going to support her anymore.
I thought this was pretty interesting when I read it. My mind immediately went to Alma and Korihor.
"'Oprah and Friends' to teach course on New Age Christ"
Oprah Winfrey, beginning January 1, 2008, on her daily radio program
will offer a year-long course on the New Age Christ , in a lesson a day and
completely cover the 365 lessons from the Course in Miracles 'Workbook.'
Listeners will be encouraged to buy A Course in Miracles for the
year-long course, and an audio version, recited by Richard (John Boy Walton)
Thomas will be available on compact disc.
Those who finish the Course will have a wholly redefined spiritual
mindset-a New Age worldview that includes the beliefs that there is no sin,
no "evil", and no "devil". A Course in Miracles teaches its students to rethink
everything they believe about God and life, and, bluntly states: 'This is a
course in mind training' and is dedicated to 'thought reversal.'
Oprah told her television audience that Williamson's book, A Course in Miracles was one of her favorite books, and that she had already bought a thousand copies and would be handing them out to everyone in her studio audience. Oprah's endorsement skyrocketed Williamson's book to the top of the New York Times bestseller list.
A Course in Miracles is allegedly a 'new revelation' from 'Jesus' to
help humanity work through these troubled times. This 'Jesus'-who bears no
doctrinal resemblance to the Bible's Jesus Christ-began delivering channeled
teachings in 1965 to a Columbia University Professor of Medical Psychology,
Helen Schucman.
One day Schucman heard an 'inner voice' stating, 'This is a course in
miracles. Please take notes.' For seven years she diligently took spiritual
dictation from this voice that described himself as 'Jesus.'
Here are some quotes from the 'Jesus' voice of A Course in Miracles:
'There is no sin .
A 'slain Christ has no meaning.'
The journey to the cross should be the last '"useless journey."
"Do not make the pathetic error of 'clinging to the old rugged cross.''
'The Name of Jesus Christ as such is but a symbol... It is a symbol that
is safely used as a replacement for the many names of all the gods to which
you pray.'
'The recognition of God is the recognition of yourself.'
'The Atonement is the final lesson he [man] need learn, for it teaches
him that, never having sinned, he has no need of salvation.'
- Now go and read Alma 30, I think Korihor's teachings start somewhere around verse 12 or so. Look at the similarities between what Korihor taught and what this book states.

My mother in law sent me the same thing about Operah. She can believe what she wants to believe, I just have when she uses her "celeb status" to try to influence people.
Scary huh? Oprah has such an influence on the world and so many people take what she says as doctrine. Just another sign of the times. It's pretty scary.
