I havn't forgotten about this, sorry I havn't responded. I'm working out a response but I have a 30-page paper due in two days. I'll be back Thurs/Friday with something to say

Re: Mathematics in Scripture? I did not think I was dodging the responses, there was one I purposefully avoided but I said I would get back to it later because, at the time, I had spent an hour laying on my side typing that with one hand. I apologize, I should have chosen a day when I was in...

I apologize, I will hold off from any future extra opinions like that. I don't just talk about my faith in excess, if someone asks me a question on anything I know, from physics to Islam to Tao to American Conspiracy Theories, I'll talk their ear off. Please please try to correct me in my quest...

Knowledge is power and the lack of it is death. It's great to speak with fellow truth seekers when to be honest no one cares anymore today. I'm not sure what the Sikh view is except that the Introductory video mentions that your scriptures are regarded as the "eternal living guru." As for...

I want to apologize before I post this. Have you ever been sleep deprived and something interesting comes your way and you end up talking and talking and talking about it? I did not mean to go on like this but it's a hard topic and my brain used a lot of words to describe some beliefs and...

Haha thanks, I'll try and be careful. Does providing stark contrasts between the two faiths count as proselytize? I compare and contrast to understand and I was hoping to later provide a side-by-side line-up of the two faiths in order to make sure that I don't hold any misconceptions. Would that...

Thank you so much, I'll report back later with what I find.

-What does 'Naam' mean? -And thanks for the resources, I'll hammer out any specific questions a bit later. -Haha, clever name for the thread. I love C.S. Lewis and imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. -Does this powerpoint presentation provide a pretty accurate yet slim overview? The...

Thanks for the warm welcome, I really can't wait to learn and discuss more. I just hope I won't stir up the waters too much. I tend to get excited about my faith and my God.

Well since my beliefs are already out in the introduction thread, I'll say that this excerpt is from the Gospel of Mark. These last twelve verses, verses 9-20, are disputed in some Biblical circles. Some older manuscripts do not contain these last twelve, so the Divine Inspiration of them was...

Whelp, I'm Matt. I found this site because all I had were some vague conceptions of Sikhism and I like a lot of its practices and the peaceful devotion of its followers. I wish that some of my spiritual brethren would act as respectful as some of the Sikhs I've talked to. I came here to learn...

This might be a little hard to explain without giving an example, and I won't give one because it may seems like I'm trying to peddle my own Holy Text. I have given up googling, I can't seem to figure out any adequate search terms. I was wondering about any of the Holy Sikh Scriptures, I'm...
