If this debate show anything.... its that religion is WACKY.

Christianity in its infancy was also considered to be wacky...by the mainstream. It was also considered dangerous.

It proved to be extremely dangerous.

So is Eckankar as dangerous as christianity? I don't think they will be going on any crusades anytime soon.... nor begin an inquisition.....or massacre any offshoots.

Christianity comes from the teachings of Jesus and does not promote killing and inquisitions. Many can claim to be christian but are not hence the Upload of the many videos on my play list to prove this.

Eckankar is dangerous in the Light of Christians teachings. Dangerous for the soul and the Mind. Beyond the strong Opinion of both sides is a Power that Moves people.

Go with what brings you closer to God. It's all good if it focuses on the Light of God.

Whatever group or religion you choose is fine, because they all lead you back to Heaven.

God is a big gang bang.

@SKYSPLASH You do not have to die to know 'The Truth' . One can achieve this when alive by connection to the Light and Sound of God and Holy Spirit via the Spiritual Exercises of EK. Jesus was a Jew and taught some of the Law -he was also an Initiate of the Mystery School in Tibet. There is doubt as to whether he was crucified or Simon of Cyrene. Christianity is a man made prison religion promising Heaven or Hell. It is poppycock.

Oh how easy it is to dismiss other belief systems with arguments that can be used to dismiss your own. Eckankar is a compilation of other belief systems...Christianity is a compilation of other belief systems.. Both have been considered cults. Both have been dismissed by the establishment..(christianity certainly was in its early years) Both have evolved over the years. Much is made up about both of them. They both are supported by confirmation bias. Miracles, revelations, spirit, etc....

@WayOutWesley Eckankar is not a New Age phenomenum . God in Itself sent forth his priesthood at the beginning of time on earth-the priesthood is known as the Knights of the Vairagi and for many intervals of time on earth this priesthood was visible. When corruption threatened its ranks the Knights withdrew . Again the Priesthood is becoming visible on earth. Many of us have been with the Masters and the teachings in the dream state or in astral projection. No crusades or inquisitions.

Christianity is a bigot, racist, dangerous religion. This Tal brooke guy certainly likes to show his arrogance as much as he flashes physical weight or lard. In religion, no one is right and no one is wrong because there is no solid proof otherwise.

"People don't realize that God has provided all these different religions for a specific purpose: to fit all the

different levels of consciousness that exist on earth."

There's no point "Eckankar vs Christianity" arguments anyway. Walk your path and let the other guy walk his. But this show was more about "Brooke vs non-Christians" and "Brooke vs what he can't understand". I have nothing invested in Gross, but it looks like he was there to have a dialogue about spiritual concepts and ended up having to answre to Brookes about petty org stuff. It's not like Christianity hasn't had politics and power plays among allegedly "infallible" leaders.

This is cool.  Altho it's dated. I know someone in a cult formed by one of Sai Baba's disciples. They are into energy healing and chakras and channeling and all that psychic CRAP. It's a group located mainly in SoCal and in Ireland.

@unbiased000 True. Respect for the ECK man coming to be questioned and handling himself calmly; although as hostile as Brook may have been I beleive Ankeberg, and Brook gave the guy something to think about?...If you ignore the messangers and listen to the message, this religion could be dangerous to those who don't know the truth. The bible smoked "ECK" right outta the water if you wanted to do a comparison, Yet there are some good things about the "philosophy" of ECK that can be useful :)
