Personally speaking I don't think Guru Nanak dev ji was God. Because from his own words in SGGS Ji he doesn't not mention or make the claim he is God. He also makes references to God as someone who whom he worships and sings praises of. Furthermore the references in Sri Guru granth sahib ji about Guru nanak being the almighty himself taking human form is made by people other than him and to those people he was such a wise and pure soul they saw God like qualities in him thus they state those metaphoric sayings. So in conclusion when the source of Sikhi (Guru nanak Dev Ji) does not state he is God and worships God which is external to himself then how can we take Guru sahib as God? We can't ......because it would not be the message of Guru Ji and nor would it be rational. As a God would not let countless robberies, murders, rapes, injustices, etc go on while he is on earth he would destroy the evil doers logically and morally speaking. So from my understanding of scriptures and sikhi....Guru Nanak was a messenger a prophet of God who had more spiritual and supernatural powers than your average human being because God had granted him those abilities to spread Sikhi to humanity and guide them to the right religion away from their old ways.

The Christians believe that Jesus was God because it is alleged he said that himself in the bible. But most of us know the bible was written hundreds of years after jesus's death so it was changed and stuff left out and stuff added to create the bible acceptable to all sects of Christianity. Those people who wrote the bible elevated jesus to a status that Jesus does not deserve nor makes logical sense.

Similar we should not apply the sentiments of Christians/Hindu's and start making our Guru's as God/ idol figures because that would be sacrilege against the Guru Ji's and Almighty Waheguru Ji

Your entitled to your opinion. I used to believe just like you to be honest viewing Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji as only a spiritual guide. There's an entire concept of Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji being Vaheguru in human form which would take a long time to understand.

Sri Guru Arjun Dev ji said Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji is Vaheguru himself. Gurbani says there is no difference between the 11 Gurus. What the first Guru said is approved by the rest and what the fifth Guru said is approved by the first Guru. Outside of Gurbani people may have called Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji Vaheguru by their own beliefs. However according to Gurbani, regardless of the writer, the Shabad Guru/Hukam/Akal Purakh himself, Vaheguru is Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji and Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji is Vaheguru. A young child is told who his father is by the mother, yet the young child at the age of 3 is not able to understand how so. The child accepts the teaching of the mother and continues on with his day satisfied with calling the man his father. Only after several years of understanding how he came into the world does he understand why his mother was telling him how the man was his father. Life is too short to argue with Gurbani, specifically Sri Guru Arjun Dev ji, who compiled Adi Granth. Sri Guru Arjun Dev ji, Bhatt Satthaa and Bhatt Mathuraa, all say Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji is Vaheguru himself.

Looking at the bigger concept of how and who can bless Guruship clears this debate up faster. Only Vaheguru can give the Guruship to the Guru. Vaheguru blessed Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji with the Guruship. Who blessed Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib ji? Dusht Daman sat meditating on Vaheguru and was blessed to go down on Earth as Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib ji. Who blessed Sri Guru Angad Dev ji? Bhagat Kabir ji's Bani is in Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji, however did he bless anyone with Guruship or did he get blessed with Guruship? No! Yet Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji blessed someone with Guruship. How can this be? Bhagat Kabir ji's Bani is in Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji, why couldn't he give Guruship? If Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji saw himself as only a lowly servant to Vaheguru, then how can he bless anyone with Vaheguru or give Guruship away? If Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji was only a Guru (prophet, teacher of the divine, human but taught of the divine), then he could not bless anyone with Guruship because only Vaheguru has this authority as seen clearly in Bachittar Natak. Dusht Daman didn't get up on his own effort and say I am the next Guru. Jesus tried this behavior and Vaheguru never gave him support.

As a God would not let countless robberies, murders, rapes, injustices, etc go on while he is on earth he would destroy the evil doers logically and morally speaking.

When has Vaheguru ever left his creation? Gurbani says creation cannot exist without Vaheguru being infused in it. Vaheguru's power is the support of creation. If Vaheguru was logical and moral according to your beliefs, he would not even create robberies, murders, rapes, and injustices at all. He would not create creation all together. He would be as he is. You are pulling at threads, which don't exist to provide some premise for your argument.

Christians can write as they wish and their writing does not reflect on how Gurbani was written or how Gurbani is to be interpreted. Gurbani is not in competition with Christians or Jesus. Gurbani is here to deliver Sikhs to Akal Purakh by delivering the truth to creation.

Jesus and Prophet Mohammed admitted the superiority of the Gurus and the Sikh maarg. That is why they express their desire that their followers should become Sikhs of the Gurus.

Gurbani says, iss dehi ko Simre dev. If Jesus and Prophet Mohammed have finally realised the superiority of Gurmat then they will also likely have to retake birth in this world soon in order to take Amrit from punj pyare. While smaller spiritual states can be obtained anywhere but param gat can only be obtained from the house of Guru Nanak Dev jee.

DId you guys see the christian lady who was told by her deceased father to do nitnem ? ...you forget our path is the uncluttered unaltered path of the saints to Akal Purakh so it is natural more and more people will be drawn to it from all other altered paths...

Christians believe in the trinity which is 3 forms of God: Jesus by himself is one of the 3 forms.

Jesus NEVER preached the trinity in life , this is the invention of the Rpman Catholic church , he was like the Jews Ik Akal Purakh only , He alone being worthy of praise ...

I didn't say he did; what I said was Christians believe in the trinity and one of the parts of the trinity was him.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
