[/FONT] To MaryMary "knowledge above belief." As a Sikh brother earlier said, knowledge and belief go hand in hand. i.e belief is knowledge. however if true knowledge (i.e the truth) were to exist in the physical (in the form of a book) then this book would have to stand the test of time and be void of all human error, (actually it would have to be free of all human intervention) it would have to be indestructable for nothing can destroy the Truth. Real knowledge can only be given by the Knower of all things, the reciever would be a Prophet, a person chosen amongst all people. Beliefs have changed from time to time but this is due to the nature of humankind, one of the laws on earth is that of decomposition i.e. rotting, religion is not free from this, today we don't see many places on earth where true religion is prevailing (however there are a few such as the city of Fez in Morocco), people then may ask, when will we have a new religion to guide us to the True Path? for if one is needed its needed now! the answer to that lies in The Book. God is One. note:i hope nobody minds this reply as i know it may not go side by side with the Sikh faith, however i believe we all have intellects and should be able to discern truth from falsehood as individuals.
