Oprah's tv channel is called OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network) and those shows don't come on her networkerplexedOprah is not just some "black chick".... There's more to Oprah than this, and it's more so what she represents.
Oprah has a TV channel called Oxygen and a magazine called "O".
Scientifically, oxygen is the element with atomic number 8 and represented by the symbol "O".
The element's name derives from the Greek roots (oxys) ("acid", literally "sharp", referring to the sour taste of acids) and (-genēs) ("producer", literally "begetter"). At standard temperature it's a very pale blue, odorless, tasteless diatomic gas with the formula O2, and it's the most abundant chemical element - by mass - in our biosphere.[Wikipedia]
So what does this all mean?
Let's look at the significance of the number 8 in the Bible:
In the Bible, 8 has referenced new beginnings.
Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. 1 Peter 3:20
Circumcision, the sign of belonging to the covenant people, was to be performed on the eighth day.
And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed. Genesis 17:12
The story of Ruth, Orpah (Oprah) and Naomi bears witness to choosing whom to serve. When Orpah's husband (Naomi's son) died, she had the choice of going back to her people and her gods or serving God and going with Ruth and Naomi to serve God. She chose to go back and I believe Ruth and Naomi respected her choice. It WAS her choice, but whatever befell her was the judgment of HER CHOICE. Ruth and Naomi moved on to serve the true living God. We are at this place today.
A brief look at her "OXYGEN" channel shows programming that glorify sin/lust:
The World according to Paris (Hilton) - she represents all the carnality and inherent "wealth" to be desired of this world
BAD GIRLS - need I say more?
Snapped - about who-dunnits on female murderers
America's Next Top Model Obsessed - all about vanity
Dance Your A** off - a show that emphasizes losing weight, being transformed, to "fit in" to the "norm/standard"...
Love Games (Bad girls need love too) - huh?
Not many other people on the planet has the type of influence Oprah has on the innocents. Her influence reaches way beyond the United States, beyond North America... it's WORLDwide.
