Ben Witherington has a post in which he presents an article by Warren Smith entitled, “Oprah and Friends” to teach course on New Age Christ. Apparently, Oprah’s XM Radio show, Oprah and Friends, will be featuring a year-long course, A Course in Miracles, taught by New Age Guru, Marranne Williamson. According to the article:

Lesson #29 asks you to go through your day affirming that “God is in everything I see.” Lesson #61 tells each person to repeat the affirmation “I am the light of the world.” Lesson #70 teaches the student to say and believe “My salvation comes from me.”

By the end of the year, “Oprah & Friends” listeners will have completed all of the lessons laid out in the Course in Miracles Workbook. Those who finish the Course will have a wholly redefined spiritual mindset—a New Age worldview that includes the belief that there is no sin, no evil, no devil, and that God is “in” everyone and everything. A Course in Miracles teaches its students to rethink everything they believe about God and life. The Course Workbook bluntly states: “This is a course in mind training” and is dedicated to “thought reversal.”

This is definitely not harmless stuff and is antithetical to the teachings of Scripture.
