[QUOTE="Archived_member15, post: 181640, member: 17438"] [b]Re: How do you know God Exists? does Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji prove god exists?[/b] Dear Harry ji :mundahug: I don't write on this forum as frequently now, and actually haven't been on it for over three months, nonetheless I feel that I perhaps should interject here given that the idea of the [I]Abrahamic [/I]conception of God has been raised. I want to clarify for the sake of this discussion just what that Abrahamic conception is really like What I think is important to realize is that while the Abrahamic faiths - Judaism, Islam, Christianity and the Baha'i Faith (as well as Zoroastrianism which isn't strictly Abrahamic but shares the same broad philosophical outlook) - might have many followers who share the understanding of the Supreme Creator that you identify as [I]Abrahamic [/I]this is not necessarily the same as how theologians and mystics have actually understood God. You are identifying, I feel, more of the [I]popular religion [/I]of laity, if anything. Here is how one of the Catholic Church's most important teachers, the Syrian mystical theologian Dionysius (who is used as an authority by St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Bonaventure, Meister Eckhart and all others) explained God: So when you speak of the Abrahamic God, that is the Abrahamic God as Catholic theologians, Muslim Sufis, Jewish thinkers, Baha'is and others understand Him. Dionysius says that he is [B][SIZE=3][U][I]NOT FATHERHOOD[/I][/U][/SIZE][/B]!!!!!! :grinningkaur: While Sikhi says that God is "Truth", Catholicism agrees in one respect ie: [INDENT] However as Dionysius explains above, we would go further in saying that he cannot be called "Truth" nor any other name, since he is ineffable and inexppressibe yet within everything that exists. Sikhi seems to agree with this too since the Granth describes God as "Nameless". BTW I should actually note that in the original Greek Dionysius calls God "it", however the translator noted that he considered this to be too impersonal in English so rendered it freely as "he".
