[QUOTE="Archived_member2, post: 47857, member: 259"] Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakal! Dear all and SikhtoIslam Ji! God gives birth to all with a Dharma. Some go completely astray when ignorance overrules them. Ego convinces them that they can change it. I have read your views with enthusiasm. This is my understanding to your questions. ************** 1. Is Guru Nanak a False Prophet? No. Quote "However, if we consult the linguistic definition of Prophet, we discover the following meanings of the term :- “A person who speaks by divine inspiration or as the interpreter through whom the will of a god is expressed.” “someone who speaks by divine inspiration; someone who is an interpreter of the will of God” “a person regarded as, or claiming to be, an inspired teacher or leader” Therefore, whenever anyone claims to speak on behalf of God, rationally and linguistically that person is considered to be claiming Prophethood." Guru Nanak dev Ji has the above qualities and a lot more. Guru Nanak Dev Ji is more than a Prophet. He is right now here too. That is why we cannot forget Him. We feel His presence again while discussing this. Quote "By Sikhs refusing to acknowledge that Guru Nanak was claiming to be a Prophet, they sidestep this issue. This is in order to avoid any means of principles of falsification, in order to confirm or disprove the Guru’s 'Prophethood'." Only ego claims to be something else than God. Guru Nanak Dev Ji never claimed to be a Prophet. God never claims to be a prophet because then HE will restrict Him to a limitation. Do we know a Prophet who has claimed something? I do not have words to praise the silence of Guru Nanak Ji on this topic. This makes me understand when Sikhs sidestep this issue. Quote "It is the contention of the author however that Guru Nanak was a False Prophet, or was falsely claimed to be a prophet by his followers. Any information regarding his “true” Prophethood can be sent to [email]SikhstoIslam@gmail.com[/email], for verification." Some people may have a Prophet's picture in mind and his prophet hood when they write this. "For example Moses spilt the Red Sea, David was able to melt metal in his hands, and Abraham was able to withstand fire. These miracles have been verified both through scriptures and through science." Their Prophets may go for shows on stages or Jury to get a place in a book of records. Guru Nanak Dev Ji finds it Sahaj, merging in God. ************** 2. Are the Sikh Scriptures authentic? YES. The understanding from your writing proves how much the consciousness is awaken. I feel we understand as much as our mind is conscious. One may let this develop with God's Grace to enliven a holy Scripture. Or he may criticize Scriptures when he feels unable. ************** 3. How can Re-Incarnation be Accurate? One may find it accurate by experiencing it. All can go back on their memory track to remember the last lives. One may consult any competent person to remember the previous life these days. One may also come to know true Simran of Naam to transcend all the lives and merge in God. ************** 4. How can God be Omnipotent and within Evil? For some this is a riddle. Others enliven this as Truth. What is your wish? ************** 5. How can Sikhs claim to have a complete way of Life? The Gurus have given true Sikhs the way to grow on conscious level. They get all the answers to manage the world within and around it. Quote "There is no belief in the entire world, except Islam, that has the answers to problems that mankind encounter on a day to day basis." I am not sure if this belief could convince God and His Universe. ************** 6. What is a Just War in Sikhism? All that is God's Will, Hukam. ************** 7. How can God Create himself? Become God to know this. Easiest way is true Simran. ************** 8. Why can Sikh women not Divorce? I feel some do not understand this. A true Sikh found no way to get divorce from God once married. ************** 9. How can Sikhs Claim that there are “many paths to God”, then he Punishes those whom do not adhere to Sikhism ? Once it is found, the true Sikh knows how to return home from everywhere. That is why he praises all the Paths. Those feel punished who have lost home and their way also. ************** 10. Why is Sikhism Not Evangelical? Quote " . . . why do Sikhs not debate and discuss their faith in the World and try to convert others to it?" Quote " . . . why do Sikhs not ask others to join it?" The true Sikh as His Guru suggests knowing true Simran. True conversion takes place at levels of consciousness. ************** Conclusion This should not enrage Muslims. God may help Muslims too finding their home. Balbir Singh [/QUOTE]
