Screwtape aka Oprah

I have sit back for a long time and said nothing. But the time has come for me to post my thoughts on one person that is leading many people toward a path of destructiveness. I think CS Lewis may have found Oprah in 1942. So that is why I will now refer to Oprah as Screw tape. Read just a quick excerpt from this book:

"If this fails, you must fall back on a subtler misdirection of his intention. Whenever they are attending to the Enemy Himself we are defeated, but there are ways of preventing them from doing so. The simplest is to turn their gaze away from Him towards themselves. Keep them watching their own minds and trying to produce feelings there by the action of their own wills. When they meant to ask Him for charity, let them, instead, start trying to manufacture charitable feelings for themselves and not notice that this is what they are doing. When they meant to pray for courage, let them really be trying to feel brave. When they say they are praying for forgiveness, let them be trying to feel forgiven. Teach them to estimate the value of each prayer by their success in producing the desired feeling; and never let them suspect how much success or failure of that kind depends on whether they are well or ill, fresh or tired, at the moment."

(Note the screw tape letters is a book by CS Lewis about conversations between two demons about how to deceive God's people "The enemy".)

Christianity is not just a thought process Oprah. It is not just a good idea. Jesus wasn't just a good teacher. There is more to it than that. Of course you would rather read and understand your "Book Club" books rather than diving into that which you once called truth.

"6 Some have wandered away from these and turned to meaningless talk. 7 They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm." (2 Tim 1:6-7)

False teachers are specifically talked about in the scriptures yet those not grounded in God's word will never know the difference. Satan is sticking his head up from out of Hell and few know it. Why is that? Because the time is nearing.

So Screw tape (Oprah) you may be working with Wormwood on this but the battle was won at "The old rugged cross" you denied.
