The Son of Man came to seek and save that which was lost. It is Jesus' favorite title of Himself. I chosen this title because Jesus loved this title of Himself. We ought to never forget that Jesus is fully God and fully man: two natures in One Person. He is the God-man, the Incarnate Second Person of the Trinity. May we mediate on His life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension that we may be conformed to the image of the divine Son of Man! This blog web site will be a Christian defense of the Reformed doctrines of the Incarnate Son of Man. May all glory be to His name!

Disputations on Eckankar, Pt 1



  1. Eckankar has a different set of scriptures; that is, it is called Shariyat-Ki-Sugmad and they also offer training materials for spiritual enlightenment.

  1. The only way to reach their scriptures is through the spiritual city of Agam Des through a “soul body” (Encyclopedia of American Religions, p. 955).

  1. Eckankar offers a 14-year training devotional that they encourage their members to follow (Eckankar Membership, p. 2).

  1. The Bible is the Judeo-Christian Scripture that are God-breathed and it is different than Eckankar; that is, the Scriptures are not the same but vastly opposed to each other.

  1. God made a covenant with Israel in Exodus 34:27, Deuteronomy 17:18, Isaiah 30:8-9 and Jeremiah 30:2; that is, we are also cautioned by the Holy Spirit through the apostle Paul not to go on with what is written in First Corinthians 4:6.

  1. God reveals His truth but He does not teach esoteric teachings, but He teaches the revealed judgments, statues, commandments, testimonies and Word of God.

  1. The knowledge of God comes through contact with light and sound of God; that is, He becomes known by these things.

  1. Light and sound sustains all of life (What Is Eckankar? p. 1).

  1. Sound is the Supreme Being and it is referred to as an impersonal force or “it.”  Light and sound reveal itself to the human consciousness (Eckankar: The Key to Secret Worlds, p. 96).

  1. God’s self-revelation comes to us through the Divine Word and through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as it is in the written Word. 

  1. God is revealed in three distinct Persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Ghost is not an “it” or an “impersonal force” but a true person.

  1. Eckankar claims the Bible is filled with esoteric sayings; however, this is only true when the Bible Code is introduced but it has no biblical trustworthiness or Scriptural support.

  1. They claim few knew what Jesus was saying about following Him; however, Matthew knew what it meant because he stopped what he was doing and began to follow Him and accepted His invitation (Eckankar: The Key to Secret Words, p. 4).

  1. The Scriptures is not an esoteric; however, it is God’s revelation to mankind.  Mark 4:34 says Jesus explained everything and that we may know we have eternal life through Jesus our Lord and Savior (First John 5:13).

  1. Eckankar claims that Christianity has been changed from its original content; that is, they also claim that the Bible has been edited and altered and changed.
