Re: Daily Bread
Interesting thing happened this morning...I love to read sacred texts when I have the time. I read this before but it was brought back to my attention today for some reason.
I ran across these words almost identical in context except for the words God and Brahman:
Why would John quote the Rig Veda...was he leading us to something?
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." -- St. John
"In th beginning was Brahman, with whom was the Word; and the word was truly the supreme Brahman." -- Rig Veda
The Rig Veda came from the Iron Age, somewhere between 1700-1100 BC.
Brahman is the name of the One God in Hinduism.
Why are we finding this, almost word-for-word, reproduced in the Bible?
I find it interesting....
