| Re: Contradictions in Bible ???
Dear Drkhalsa, All these so called contradictions have been concocted without proper study and understanding. Furthermore, quoting words out of context can turn any statement contradictory. Here are few examples from Guru Granth Sahib for you to contemplate, which can easily be turned into “inconsistencies” if one was to follow the logic or criterion used by Mr. Neutral Singh in his postings in this thread: Guru Arjan says, ”Aapeh paap punn bisthaaraa.” Does Sikhism teach that God distribute both sins and good deeds?
Kabir says, ”Paap punn du-ay ayk samaan.” Does it mean that in Sikhism to sin is same as doing good? Guru Nanak says, “Karnee baajhahu bhisat na paa-ay” Kabir says, “Kavan narak ki-aa surag bichaaraa santan do-oo raaday” Kabir says that Saints reject heaven but Nanak says one cannot attain heaven without good works? Guru Nanak says, “suni-ai dookh paap kaa naas.” He also says, “ko-ay na kaatai avgun mayray.” Does listening to God’s name remove sins or does it not?Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/christianity/688-contradictions-in-bible.html Guru Nanak says, “laykhaa iko aavhu jaahu.” Guru Arjan says, “aap bhulaa-ay naankaa pach pach jonee paahi.” Is reincarnation due to man’s own actions or does God mislead man? I hope you are getting the drift of my argument here. Now, moving on to your questions:Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=688 1 what do you think is should be aim of our life as i think it is to be one with god what do you think I think our aim is to do God’s will and we can know God’s will for us only through the Bible. When we read the Bible we learn that we are separated from God because of our sins. We are unable to become sin-free therefore we receive God’s forgiveness for our sins in Jesus Christ, who paid the price for our sins. Once the sin question is settled, separation from God is only physical not spiritual.
2 As jesus has said I am the way does this mean he is the only way Jesus is the “only” Way. He is the only sinless person to have ever lived, and died for sins of the mankind, to redeem them from the wrath of God. "Salvation is found in no-one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12) 3 if yes then i means that any other religious leader or preacher like muhammed, nanak , buddha were a) just nonsense personality disorders or b) god was some how happy with them due to thier efforts or what ever so made them one with himself but they were not the way for others
or c) they may some how have been in contact with jesus through bible or some other means
