Basic Tenets of Biblical Christianity:
To compare Eckankar to Biblical Christianity, go here.
Eckankar is willingly ignorant of the lost condition of all human beings and the one Holy Creator God's great gift of giving His one and only way of salvation through acceptance of the atoning work of His one, unique Son, Jesus Christ. As a result of this willing ignorance, followers of this religion miss all the benefits of holiness, righteousness, peace, glory, love, and joy that can only be found through Jesus. The sad result of their rebellion against God is that those who follow this course choose hell rather than heaven.
