Here’s where I get confused. T. Dexter (AKA Bishop T. D. Jakes to the sheeple) professes to be a “man of God”, a Christian pursuing holiness, a disciple who wants to be obedient to Christ. He claims to be Spirit-filled, tongues speaking (I know this is true because I saw him speaking in tongues when Tyler Perry laid hand on him and gave him a bunch of money for one of his projects) soldier for Jesus Christ. He is willing to die for Christ, to renounce everything rather than…well, you get the idea.
On the other hand, Oprah Winfrey is a woman who denies the deity of Jesus Christ (Link here http://youtu.be/noO_dCWtB1E?t=1m ), promotes what can best be call New Age doctrine and philosophy, thinks it’s awful that God is a jealous God, and is producing a reality show featuring Michael Sam and Vito Cammissano. What? You say you don’t know who Vito is? Vito is the boyfriend of Michael Sam. He’s the one we got to watch smooching with Michael when Michael found out he had been drafted by the NFL.
One ostensibly holds to a Christian worldview, saturated with Christian values, standards, and practices. The other holds to a world view that at best minimizes God and in many respects make man god. Did any of you see Oprah’s netcasts with Mr. Tolle? He is a New Age prophet if ever there was one. And Oprah was fawning all over him.
Despite this slight divergence in philosophical outlooks, T. Dexter is working with Oprah to help present life “lessons”.
Amos asks the question: Do two men walk together unless they have an appointment (or agreement)? Way later, in 2 Corinthians 6:14-16, Paul admonishes the Corinthians to avoid being too closely connected with the unsaved.
And why do you suppose God doesn’t want us unequally yoked (to use the KJV phrase)?
A quick history lesson: What happened when Solomon married all the daughters of the idolatrous nations around
