American talk-show host Oprah Winfrey has said on her Facebook and Twitter page about how she used to imagine Jesus was her brother when she was younger.
She has released the video as part of #beliefstories hash tag on Twitter.
"Not growing up with a father, I heard in church that God was my father and God was The father of us all, and Jesus was God's son.
"My imagination, my way of thinking about God was - God is my Father, and Jesus is his son, so I am his child, so I was his daughter, which makes Jesus my brother."
Hundreds of Twitter users have commented and shared various #beliefstories on the social media site.
A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
