		<description>Not to make a debate over this Melvin......but if Oprah wasn't in the lime light or a television figure, this wouldn't be an issue. You made my point in saying that Oprah isn't any different than any other enemy of God. So if this is the case, then why not have a "Day" set aside for every other enemy of God? Whether she's influential or not, everyone of us (saved or unsaved) are held accountable for our own actions. Can an unbeliever stand before God and blame Oprah for her influence? So, if it really isn't either/or, let's set aside a "Day of Prayer" for every unbeliever in the world. God is no respecter of persons and we shouldn't be either. Oh, while we're at it, let's pray that the anti-christ doesn't influence too many people as well.

&lt;strong&gt;(MN: &lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Understood.  Read some of the previous comments in this posting and the postings just before it.  You may be surprised at how much it was discussed.  &lt;a href="http://www.pulpit-pimps.org/archives/2008/03/13/may-day-and-oprah#comments" rel="nofollow"&gt;Try here&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;/em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;)&lt;/strong&gt;

		<description>Pray for Oprah? Sure, but after I pray for my lost relatives and neighbors who don't know the truth. As for Ms. O, she blatantly denies Jesus as being the only way to heaven. Plus she has arrogantly proven her beliefs once again with the Tom Cruise interview. She sarcastically replied to Tom about his beliefs and whether or not he believed his way was the only way. I'm pretty positive she was referring to born again believers confessing and believing that Jesus is the only way. A day for Oprah? Forgive me for putting other people on my agenda for prayer.

&lt;strong&gt;(MN:&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;em&gt;Out of all you have said, I'm not seeing the difference between Oprah and the rest of the folks out there.  They are all enemies of God.  

Don't misunderstand.  I'm certainly not saying you must pray for her.  But any unsaved person denies Jesus.  They simply do it in different ways.  All of the unsaved are arrogant (I can do it on my own).  All are enemies of God.  And if you talk to them with any understanding, all deny that Jesus is the only way (I'm not &lt;strong&gt;that &lt;/strong&gt;bad, I have to get myself together, he'll measure my good against my bad, etc., etc.)   They invariably see works as the way, not Jesus.  And that is the same as Oprah.  

Oprah is no different than any other enemy of God in terms of her enmity toward God.  She is simply a bit more influential. 

Oh, and it really isn't "either/or".  You can pray for your depraved, sinful, rebellions relatives as well as the depraved, sinful, rebellious Oprah. &lt;/em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;)&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>I prayed for her a few times, as I pray for all who keep lying to themselves and denying the TRUTH. Nothing is impossible with GOD, but Ms. Winfrey has been wrapped up in that stuff for almost 20 years I believe (according to the documentation in 'Reinventing Jesus Christ').

I pray she wants to know the true Gospel, and not the one she's been steeped for years.</description>

		<description>Well I did pray for her, but she persisted in her wilful rebellion against the God of Scripture

&lt;strong&gt;(MN: &lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;So you expected her to be knocked off the podium, blinded and hearing the voice of our Lord?&lt;/em&gt; &lt;strong&gt; )&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>Melvin has been busy getting together his 501C3 tax records in anticipation of Senator Grassley's letter.

BTW Melvin, I took a quick peek at your response to the Senator, and there's no way he's going to let you write off that Jacuzzi as a baptismal pool.</description>

		<description>Hello....? Helllllllloooooo???
Anybody here?
Oh come on, now. Don't tell me?!
Everybody's been raptured and I'm the only one left reading Melvin's blog?
Is this my punishment for forgetting to pray for Oprah on Melvin's May Day?

&lt;strong&gt;(FH:&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;em&gt;Exactly.  You and me both. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;)&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>Righter would like to tell Melvin that she "made it" (fasting comes hard for us country girls) and it was easier than she thought it would be because the Lord blessed her with a stomach virus and she couldn't eat newayz! lol</description>
