Friends,
Like everyone to discuss about why they believe anyone to be a prophet or an avatar or messenger of God. Can they prove the same? please explain!
Love & rgds
Friend ben,
Thank you as that is exactly the point towards which the thread has been started that needs to be raised and established.
The followers of the prophets/ avatars/messengers themselves have not been enlightened and the TRUTH not realised and so at this moment in time in evolution for the dharma wheel to move forward majority of the humans need to realise the fact that the scriptures are dead unless they themselves realise the Truth they point towards.

Well Luis I would argue that the original Hindu view of the dharma is just like the Kemetic view of Ma'at, the dharma is something within us, our true natures, the unalterable law of life, and we deviate from it.
Well Luis that's certainly how Hindus view the Sanatan Dharma (law of life). Where did the concept of dharma come from first? Hindus or Buddhism?
Zenzero,Friends,

Truth is what one knows and feels, a man of intelligence..if God is there, he will re-recognize it.The belief system, somehow, has a cloud of DOUBT in it when people choose to believe in something.
Greetings!

Many of the proofs are subjective, and consist of the following:
the individual's own life,
the "Book" provided; i.e., the laws and teachings,
the effects on the world of the religion the individual has revealed,
the fact that this religion itself survives and endures for centuries or millenia, while false ones tend to fade and disappear over time,
as lesser proofs:
earlier prophecies fulfilled
new prophecies made personally and since fulfilled.
(Please note that miracles aren't considered proofs because they're reliable ONLY for eyewitnesses, and even they may be mistaken!)

It appears *english* is not the language you are used to communicate mostly as personally could not understand your message except that Prophets have bigger *egos* creating gaps rather than closing gaps between god and humans.I think that, as I read this, I want to have some special insight to say, or to speak some great insight or wisdom. Many times in a conversation, a great wisdom, the greatest wisdom is to say that it "comes from god."
But I think the best wisdom that we can have is actually the most down to earth. Not something that is beyond our understanding or that comes from god, but that is down here on earth. When we look at prophets, there is a temptation to get caught up in lofty ego and big headedness. Big men and ideals creates large distances between the god and his people.
Probably the best god is the one that is right here, and not a god at all.
