The Sira wrongly claims that which parent a child looks like is determined by which of the parent's fluids is on top. T.N. Sethumadhavan.

The following verses have man created as a blood-clot when this is wrong. The Hadith (Bukhari) also has this mistake 8.593. The theistic sub-school such as Dvaita Vedanta of Hinduism, starts with the same premises, but adds the premise that individual Self and Brahman are distinct, and thereby reaches entirely different conclusions where Brahman is conceptualized in a manner similar to God in other major world religions. [20] The theistic schools assert that moksha is the loving, eternal union or nearness of one's Self with the distinct and separate Brahman ( Vishnu, Shiva or equivalent henotheism). Brahman, in these sub-schools of Hinduism is considered the highest perfection of existence, which every Self journeys towards in its own way for moksha.

The book talks about science but the Koran, Hadith and Sira are all scientifically wrong discrediting them as having been the work of an all knowing God but rather that of primitive tribesman, It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor does the night outstrip the day. They all float, each in an orbit. A brāhm aṇ a (ब्राह्मण) (masculine, pronounced [ˈbɽaːɦmɐɳɐ]), (which literally means "pertaining to prayer") is a prose commentary on the Vedic mantras—an integral part of the Vedic literature. These verses show that the Koran has the Sun moving in an orbit and is wrong. The Hadith also has the Sun moving Bukhari 4.54.In addition to the concept of Brahman, Hindu metaphysics includes the concept of Atman—or Self, which is also considered ultimately real. [66] The various schools of Hinduism, particularly the dual and non-dual schools, differ on the nature of Atman, whether it is distinct from Brahman, or same as Brahman. Those that consider Brahman and Atman as distinct are theistic, and Dvaita Vedanta and later Nyaya schools illustrate this premise. [67] Those that consider Brahman and Atman as same are monist or pantheistic, and Advaita Vedanta, later Samkhya [68] and Yoga schools illustrate this metaphysical premise. [69] [70] [71] In schools that equate Brahman with Atman, Brahman is the sole, ultimate reality. [72] The predominant teaching in the Upanishads is the spiritual identity of Self within each human being, with the Self of every other human being and living being, as well as with the supreme, ultimate reality Brahman. [73] [74] Maya: the perceived reality [ edit ] Fourth, the word is truth. The above three points, point to the fact that truth is the Triune God Himself. God, Christ and the Spirit are the basic elements of the substance of the truth, the divine reality. And this Triune God of truth being embodied in His word, makes His word, the word of truth (Eph. 1:13). In John 17:17, the Lord Jesus prayed to the Father, “sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.”

How could the universe come into existence from nothing? How could this contingent universe have no explanation for it's existence? The Life-study of 1 John, messages nine and ten, helped me to grasp what divine truth is. If you are like me, it would take you a number of readings and thoughtful study with prayer to grasp the meaning of “truth” in these messages. For us to be in the true One, is for us to be in His Son Jesus Christ. This expression points to the fact that the true One and Jesus Christ are one by way of coinherence. “ This” is the True God and Eternal Life—v. 20cVasil’ev, L. S. (December 2014). "Dao and Brahman: The Phenomenon of Primordial Supreme Unity" (PDF). Sino-Platonic Papers. Translated by Rostislav Berezkin. University of Pennsylvania. p.31. Advaita Vedanta espouses nondualism. Brahman is the sole unchanging reality, [72] there is no duality, no limited individual Self nor a separate unlimited cosmic Self, rather all Self, all of existence, across all space and time, is one and the same. [6] [82] [105] The universe and the Self inside each being is Brahman, and the universe and the Self outside each being is Brahman, according to Advaita Vedanta. Brahman is the origin and end of all things, material and spiritual. Brahman is the root source of everything that exists. He states that Brahman can neither be taught nor perceived (as an object of intellectual knowledge), but it can be learned and realized by all human beings. [22] The goal of Advaita Vedanta is to realize that one's Self ( Atman) gets obscured by ignorance and false-identification (" Avidya"). When Avidya is removed, the Atman (Self inside a person) is realized as identical with Brahman. [75] The Brahman is not an outside, separate, dual entity, the Brahman is within each person, states Advaita Vedanta school of Hinduism. Brahman is all that is eternal, unchanging and that which truly exists. [72] This view is stated in this school in many different forms, such as " Ekam sat" ("Truth is one"), and all is Brahman. So then You are a king? Jesus answered, You say that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I would testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice. Pilate said to Him, What is truth?” (John 18:37-38) Stella Kramrisch (1992). The Presence of Siva. Princeton University Press. pp.205–206.

Second, this divine truth refers to Christ, who is God incarnated, as the embodiment of God (Col. 2:9) to be the reality of all the divine and spiritual things. In John 14:6, Christ said that He is the reality, the truth. Reality is the element of God realized by us in the Son (John 1:14). The Spirit—1 John 5:6The spiritual concept of Brahman is far older in the Vedic literature [ citation needed], and some scholars suggest deity Brahma may have emerged as a personal conception and icon with form and attributes (saguna version) of the impersonal, nirguna (without attributes), formless universal principle called Brahman. [125] In the Hindu texts, one of the earliest mentions of deity Brahma along with Vishnu and Shiva is in the fifth Prapathaka (lesson) of the Maitrayaniya Upanishad, probably composed in late 1st millennium BCE, after the rise of Buddhism. [126] [127] [128] This verse shows that the Korans authors believed inanimate objects like the Sun, Moon, Stars and mountains have consciousness as they are said to bow down to God.
