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....
