Question:
What is this religion called?
2012-02-29 20:46:00 UTC
So my friend asked me what are my religious views. He asked me if I was a Christian, Athiest, or some other word. It started with an "E" but I forgot what it was. He said it meant believing there may be a God, but not totally unfaithful. I am 14, so I haven't exactly thought it through, I have always thought there may be a God, but i'm not unfaithful to a point where I would be of Atheism. I am wondering what this religion is because I'd like to make it my religious views. Please help?

Eckankar.



Eckankar is a unique religious and spiritual path, sometimes called the Religion of the Light and Sound of God. Its name can be translated " co-worker with God". Eckankar members are called ECKists or ECK chelas. ("Chelas" means "student").



Eck teachings have ancient roots. Unfortunately much knowledge was lost to history until Paul Twitchell (Paulji) rediscovered it. He founded Eckankar in 1965 and established it as a non-profit religious organization in 1970. Details of Twitchell's life are obscure: his date of birth has been listed variously as 1908, 1912 and 1922. Eckankar followers believe that he studied under two Eck Masters: Sudar Singh in Paris and India, and a elderly monk Rebazar Tarzs in Tibet. They believe that he received the title of the 971st Eck Master from Tarzs in 1965, thus becoming the latest in a series of Masters which began before recorded history. Some of the past Masters are known historical figures; most have been solitary practitioners or have taught small groups. Paul Twitchell apparently gained additional knowledge from Kirpal Singh, an Eastern Guru, founder of the Ruhani Satsang movement.

If you believe in no god or higher power, or follow the teachings of some theologian, than you are atheist. If you practice no certain religion, but strongly believe in some kind of ruling force (not necessarily a god), than you are agnostic.

When I used to be an adolescent my father and mother referred to as Jehovah's witnesses a cult. But I significantly desired to gain knowledge of the bible and I had noticeable such a lot hyprocisty in faith that I used to be became off by means of faith. Then the extra I discovered I knew they had been the one ones telling me approximately a paradise earth. I needed to consider why did Jesus say the meek could inherit the earth if it used to be to not be a paradise. Why did Revelation five:10 say that folks who move to heaven will rule with Jesus christ over the earth. There used to be to many matters however a few contributors of my loved ones stated, "another faith" So in different phrases any faith however the proper one. That used to be variety of Satan's considering. But the bible says the extensive street that ends up in destruction, this is a slender street that ends up in God's kingdom. If that's referred to as a cult it's bigger to be within the proper faith than at the extensive street.
