@ OP, let me correct few errors you made about ECKANKAR. I am a member of ECKANKAR, The religion of the Light and Sound of God. It is registered with the Coporate affairs Commission as the third religion in Nigeria, the others being Christainity and Islam. We have a copy of our Holy Book The Sharyat-Ki-Sugmad in the Library of the National Assembly. It was externalised in 1965 by Paul Twitchel and not Johnpaul Twitchel as you highlighted. And more importamtly, members of Eckankar do not worship eck as you also stated. Please be properly guided.! |

saintopus:3rd? Since when? Which god do you worship then? |
Re: 7 Types Of Religions You Never Knew Existed by saintopus(m): 9:12pm On Nov 28, 2014 |
Valued:We worship the Almighty God in a simple term. Note: The Almighty God is not religion associated |
Re: 7 Types Of Religions You Never Knew Existed by Nobody: 9:20pm On Nov 28, 2014 |
saintopus:Then why is eckankar a religion if your god is not religion associated? |
Re: 7 Types Of Religions You Never Knew Existed by saintopus(m): 10:09am On Nov 29, 2014 |
Valued:Eckankar god? There is nothing like that. When I say Almighty God, I mean the God who loves all life, animals, the galaxies, including muslims, christians, Eckists, hindus, atheist, traditionalists, etc. For now the popular belief of major religion in the world is "If you do not belief in our god, then you will burn in hell fire for all eternity ". That is not the God I am talking about. 1 Like |
