Faith are things as yet unseen but hoped for, Eckists already know what is going to happen so we are working towards that aim slowly but surely.!!!

The problem is that Eckists DON'T 'know' what is going to happen.
Any more than ISIS, the Ku Klux Klan, or any other group that confused their OPINIONS with actual KNOWLEDGE.

BigLin, ECKists are shown things, and if you can't trust the Holy Spirit (ECK) who can you trust? God knows us better than we know ourselves. Are you ever sure of anything BigLin? We have an inbuilt condition known as instinct, mine has always proved to be true. So I have complete trust in what I am shown and what info I receive from the Intelligence that we call God. (The Holy Spirit, the Voice of God.)

Hi Big Lin, have you read your Bible lately? All the info is in there it tells what will happen in the end times, so why do you keep saying that people don't know?That is just for starters. It says somewhere that in the last days the Holy Spirit would communicate with those who are listening and paying attention. You seem to be lacking in TRUST big time. I'm not.!!!

the problem now seems to be the lack of mutual respect, we bend over backwards in this country to accept different faiths, cultures etc to the extend we deny our own and what good has it done us ? the rise of ISIS is the answer to that one! I don't think that a) we DO 'deny our own' culture; b) the problem is that ISIS and their mob DON'T believe in multiculturalism; they believe in MONOCULTURALISM. They are the mirror image of Breivik, the BNP and other nutters. They are scum and they have no respect for ANYONE - not even fellow Muslims. As most of what they do is FORBIDDEN in the Quran it's arguable whether they have the SLIGHTEST right to call themselves Muslims. Instead of 'Islamic State' a more accurate description of them would be 'Satanic State.' Hi Big Lin, Apparently you don't have any respect for others either as you are still referring to some people as scum. I prefer to see them as ignorant Jesus saw them as being LOST, which really is the same as being ignorant. Have you forgotten that Jesus is a role model for all Christians.

I don't mean to insult anyone but my opinion is that all religions are pure nonsense. Jesus was a con man. Mohammad was a con man. Joneph Smith was a con man. This new guy with ECKists is another con man. Every religion is pure fantasy. The Bible, the Quran, the Talmud -- all 100% bull.
What most people believe depends on where they grew up and which fantasies they were brainwashed with when they were kids. If you grew up in Iran, you're a Shia. If you grew up in South Carolina, you're probably a Baptist. Italy a Catholic. India a Hindu. and so on.
The reason these cons work is that the con men offer paradise or heaven after death and fires of hell if you don't buy into their nonsense. It is all just so incredibly silly.

Hi Bush Admirer, That is not quite true, as the members of ECKANKAR have their own personal experiences. irrespective of of what else is happening. ECKANKAR explains it. And our Spiritual Leader is far from being a Con Artist. Why don't you visit the Temple in Chanhassen sometime and see for yourself. The members and the Leader exude nothing but love to everyone and a sensitive person would be aware of this. Sometimes it is so tangible that you could literally cut it with a knife. You are definitely very biased. But no doubt nothing can be done about your ignorance in such matters.

George Carlin is my hero when it comes to religion. He has religion in razor sharp focus. He gets it.
Here is his video. It is perfect.
George died a couple years ago. Here is a preacher who didn't like George claiming he's now in hell. In this video we see the preacher opposite Carlin. In my opinion, George is far more credible than the preacher.
George used some vulgarity in his presentations for shock effect and to rouse up the audience. I don't find that offensive, but I'm sure some do. I think these videos are just great.
