[QUOTE="Harjas Kaur Khalsa, post: 53768, member: 2125"] [COLOR=black]Sachchasoda, I have been an anti-missionary for many years. When I saw Lionchild's definitions of equivalence for Guru, I knew he was actually using Bahai terminology. Some people may not have caught what he was doing. So I exposed the Bahai source of the definition. Obviously it is not Sikh teaching, nor can it be a correct term for Guruji. That was the point. Just as Muslim scholars study Gurbani in depth in order to distort it, I'm afraid Sikhs had better be knowledgeable about how their faith is being undermined and attacked. You have to learn where these kind of people are coming from. [/COLOR] I have studied in-depth actually a variety of teachings, in order to catch or stop missionaries in their tracks from confusing things. In no way do I promote say Islam, or Christianity or Bahai faith, but I can debate with them on all contentious points. And that's what I do. The common missionary tactic is to introduce a new definition, then keep getting people familiar with it. Then they start substituting the new term, and its new meaning. Example would be Muslim missionaries talk about Guru Nanak Dev Ji as a kind of prophet, not because they respect Him, but because [I][B]they want to win our confidence.[/B][/I] [B][I]They want us to accept the term prophet, and eventually reject the term Guru.[/I][/B] Generally, Bahai's don't have a missionary approach. I think Lionchild is just slurring definitions together because thats all he understands learning all these different traditions. I was trying to point out the [U]huge differences[/U] in meaning in those separate religious terms: Prophet, manifestation, Great Teacher, that they are [B][I]NOT[/I][/B] synonymous with Guru. [B]Whatever you say about me, I was exposing Lionchild's Bahai terminology, and correcting that GURU is [U][I][COLOR=red]NOT[/COLOR][/I][/U] a Bahai Manifestation.[/B] [B]I was agreeing with Kaur1's post [COLOR=navy]"I think you should replace the word "prophet" with "Guru" as Sikh Gurus are not called prophets."[/COLOR][/B] Stop trying so hard to make me seem to be anti-Sikh because I don't share your sanatan world-view.

Bahai faith can NEVER define Guruji. Bahai religion can never be a replacement for Self-defined teachings of Guru. You want to know about Guru, go to Guru, not to Bahai.
