The message of the cross is nonsense to those who are being destroyed,but it is God power to us who are being saved.The power of now is not from Eckhart Tolle and Oprah,but from God.The power is the cross and now is the word that the church emphasizes on it:The Holy past is present "now" with power.Let Oprah and Eckhart if they dare,to speak on TV about the real "power of now" of the cross the true miracle of the blood in the book the coin of the temple by souheil bayoud.There you will see who is false and who is right.Their false christ or the real Jesus Christ the Lord and Savior.The coming lion of Judah.

Garden of Eden

Speaking of the Garden of Eden ... Tolle states very clearly that the ego-mind was created after "The Fall" when man "ate the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil." It was at this point, according to Tolle, that man became separated from God. A very Christian perspective and explanation. That said ... it is not Tolle's goal or purpose to be a missionary for Christianity. His task is only to increase people's awareness of the unconscious structure and content of the ego which serves to maintain self-will and stand in the way of one's religious pursuit and faith.

Misunderstanding A New Earth

As a religious person with an undenying faith in the healing power and divinity of Jesus Christ, I do believe that you are misunderstanding the nature and meaning of Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth. There is nothing in this book that is inconsistent with Christian religious beliefs. What this book helps me to do is navigate my failures as a human being and be of more service to God. I don't need this book to be a better Christian. I need it to be a better human. And for that, I thank Mr. Tolle fully.

A Missed Opportunity...

I apologize up front but I was disappointed when I read your article. I personally believe it would have been more productive to explain what Tolle is teaching and why it doesn't line up with the Word of God then to criticize those who are lining up and plopping down their money, heart, and soul.
You state in your article, "Now really, do I need to explain any more before you can see that the very foundation of his philosophy contradicts biblical Christianity?" The answer is yes! If you had to ask the question, and you are writing about this subject matter, and Christians are engaging in this false doctrine, then there is an obvious need for apologetics and clarification here.
I found your above comment a little arrogant in the sense that many who call themselves Christians today don't even believe in Jesus Christ anymore (as documented by a Christianity Today survey) and yet you write as if you are astonished that many Christians don't appear to know better.
As writers, it is our duty to communicate the whole truth and often that means to detail and discuss what the other side believes so we can line it up against God's Word and help other's understand not only their own faith but enable them to engage in intelligent discourse the next time this subject matter comes up.
Every article, every word we communicate has the potential to shape and change another's worldview of Christianity. It should be a job we never take lightly.

SURRENDER IS THE WAY TO LIFE

Oprah and Tolle want to be able to control their own life and will try anything to do this. Think on what they are saying: if you want a building full of gold then just think on it the right way and it will happen. God says He is THE CREATOR and he has created everything that exists. Then if that is true, there is nothing left for any man to create. THE CREATOR means the One and the Only Creator. Man can not create and never will be able to. Oprah and Tolle are serving the Devil himself when they tell people they can create their own reality. They are saying the same as the Devil, in the garden, told Eve; that she could be like God. Instead of wanting our own way; if we confess our way is sin, then He will forgive us and give us eternal life. Those who follow Jesus will have eternal life and those who follow this way will have eternal death. Lou

Another reason they won't come to Christ

Many people are buying into these new fanagled spiritualities, but refuse to listen to the simple call of the Bible. Why? I think it is because Christ requires us to give up our evils. New age religions do not. People are looking for answers but do not want to give up their evils. They love their sin. So they flock to those who tell them what they want to hear rather than what they need to hear. George Cancilla

- Whoops

It was probably an accident, but you're dead wrong. I'm not going to ask you to back up your statements because again, while I'm sure it was an accident, you have actually never bothered to even consider what Eckhart has to say because you're completely enveloped in your own beliefs.
That said, in what way does renouncing attachment to material possessions (as Eckhart suggests) allow people to hold onto their sins? You made a fool of yourself.
So sad, everybody that thinks they're supporting their faith on this issue are actually just confirming their ignorance, their inability to consider anything outside of what they were taught. What a waste of life.

It goes back to the garden of eden

From what I can tell from reviewing
Oprah's web site and associated videos,
what Oprah and Eckart are promoting is
pure gnostisism. Man has a spark of the
divine that needs to be awakened. Gnotics
can use terms that seem to fit into Christianity and even reference Jesus.
However, at the core, gnotisism is completely
against Christianity. Gnotics don't what
to follow Christ, instead believe you can
become a Christ. According to Gnostics
Jesus was an enlighted man who showed us
the way. It's Satan's ploy going back to
the garden of eden. It's the suggestion
you can become like God. It is the doctrine
of demons.

Lost in Space

From the article: "He [Tolle] goes on to say that we have evolved to the point where we have the potential to become aware of our oneness with the universal life force." Many have evolved to the point of denial that their lives are in jeopardy, and they are looking everywhere for support: everywhere, that is, except to the King of Kings, Jesus Christ. Many, many people are afraid of what life holds for them, and they seek relief from the likes of Rick Warren, Joel Osteen, and now Eckhart Tolle. So Sad. George Cancilla
