- What is the Sikh view on Jesus being the only Son of God?
Christians sometimes call Jesus God but at other times they call him the only Son of God:
(i)“God so loved the world that he sacrificed His only begotten son for it. Whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16-18).
(ii) “He is the only begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. Begotten, not made, of one being with the Father, by whom all things were made” (Nicene Creed).
- How does Sikhism differ to Christianity's explanation of the creation of the Universe?
The Bible states:
“In the beginning God created heaven and earth….let there be light... let there be a firmament... let the dry land appear…let the waters bring forth life…. Let the earth bring forth grass…..let the earth bring forth the living creature after His kind.59 And the evening and the morning were created the sixth day. He rested on the seventh day and blessed and sanctified it”. (Genesis 1,1-31)The chronology goes like this:-
First day: creation of (one) heaven and (one) earth
Second day: Firmament created.
Third day: Vegetation created.
