It is best, however, to restrict your use of prophecy to your own personal life.

ECKANKAR- Ancient Wisdom for Today

concerning Jesus,did he make mistakes in his predictions about his 2nd coming and future world events, or could it be that the text was distorted by writers from its original meaning?

There is always a big divide between what is said, what is written and finally interpretation given by others. This has always been a problem with departed Masters when their followers can no longer make that inner link with him to verify and get better explanations about what was said and what was written.
That is where the Holy Spirit comes in. Your ability to tune in to the guidance of the Holy Spirit goes a long way in helping you to understand scriptures.

Also, what about stories like JOSEPH & DANIEL of the bible who were said to have the gift of interpreting other people's dream? Are such stories true? if yes,then, should we conclude that the ability to interprete other people's dream is divine?

The truth or untruth of the bible stories really does not matter. What matters are the lessons you learn from the stories and that is where your attention should be.
The ability to interprete dreams is a dormant spiritual strength that lies in every Soul. Any soul can learn to do it and you need to know most of the spiritual strength you look at as a gift or divine actually took lifetimes of spiritual training to attain.
Understanding and interpretation of your dreams is actually one of the basic steps in our Spiritual Program.

Karma applies itself in the most exacting and clever of ways. If we deprived another human being of freedom in a previous life, we'd probably have our freedom curtailed in this life. This experience would give us time to reconsider our views and learn the Law of Love.

what about animals? When humans cage in other souls (poultry,rabits,cattle) with the aim of earning a living, thereby limiting their freedom, doesn't this also have karmic effect?

If you cage them with the aim of earning a living as a means of survival there is no negative karma incurred. But if you are cruel to them and indulge in torturing them, you incur negative karma.
Also people that hunt animal for sports and not for nutrition or survival incur negative karma.
Lower animals already know that giving up their bodies to sustain higher animals is the way of nature and they accept their fate, go through their experiences and move up to higher animal forms and eventually human form.

The love of God for us


John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.


When Adam sinned, he lost the direct access he initially had with God. (Genesis 3) God decided to send his only begotten son (Jesus) to pay the price for our sins on the cross of calvary because of his love for us. When Christ resurrected, he restored all privileges that we once had and brought redemption to us all. All we need is to believe that he died for our sin and has once again granted us direct access with God. No longer through an intermediary! (Mathew 27:50-53).

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

If our earthly parents care so much for us, how much more our father in heaven! (Luke 11:11-13).

i have some question for you in the thread that i'll mention you.

"Most people who live divine love speak about it very little."

If you’re in harmony with the spiritual principles at all, you’re going to know that the life you have is the one you have created for yourself in some way, at some time. Today you are simply living out your own creation.

Some of the religious teachings believe body and Soul are one and the same. In Eckankar we believe Soul comes in and takes on the physical body as a temple to use so It can move in this physical world.

benodic:

the spiritual masters work in harmony to help souls to learn the lessons it needs to mature . there is no competition among the spiritual masters . but rather what you have is specialization .

each master is specialized in one aspect of spirit. souls are taught one aspect of spirit after another and as each master finishes his work with soul he naturally hands over to another master. as so on until soul has mastered the different aspects of spirit.

when soul is done with its lessons and is ready to go home the Mahanta steps in. the Mahanta area of specialization is to show soul the way it needs to travel to go back home to God, step by step , plane by plane.

Get out of that occult, please. Jesus loves you and don't want you to lose your soul in hell.

How do you let the Spirit of God into your life? The simplest and best way is to sing HU, the age-old song of love for God.

—Harold Klemp

If you sing HU every day for ten minutes, filling your heart with as much love as you can, you will find a greater awareness of the factors affecting your survival, both here on earth and on the inner planes.

—Harold Klemp

If you know how to sing HU, you can open yourself to the Holy Spirit. You can open yourself to the help that It’s offering you to help you take the next step.

—Harold Klemp

Sing HU, and, in your mind and heart, watch this quiet stream of God’s love flow gently into your heart and being.

HU opens your heart to God. It opens you to God’s sweet love.

—Harold Klemp

Often it takes pain and necessity before we say, My eyes are open. I’m looking.

Then when the blessings—the different methods of healing—show up, we recognize them as the next step.
