What attributes are applied to god in sikhism (omni-potent, omni-present etc.), how and why was he conceived and what system do his followers follow to achieve enlightenment and is it possible to have varying answers to these questions while still being a orthodox sikh?

Try reading Guru Granth sahib ji... all your answers are there ...

[singh598]

You asked of Gods attributes from a Sikhism perspective. These are

All that you would learn of from previous religions such as he is merciful, graceful, forgiving, protector of the humble destroyer of the sinful etc

[singh598]

Some additional revelations in Sikhism is that God is shabad swaroop ie the writings of the Guru Granth Sahib

He is also the form of the Guru

God is also Advaita and sat chit and swaroop

[singh598]

God is the giver of knowledge and arts, to know all of his attributes is not possible for humans

[singh598]

The Guru Granth Sahib explains all

God is sargun and nirgun

In sargun he has created many earths planets and heavens with lots of life forms

In nirgun swaroop he is in a state of samadhi

[singh598]

The writing Jaap Sahib is dedicated solely to Gods attributes

Achieving God is done through surrender to the Guru who is a mediator between man and God

The Guru then teaches and guides mankind to salvation. The guru teaches what the world is and how he is stuck in transmigration and ego under the illusions of maya

Guru teaches that man is the divine child of God and himself can become divine and enlightened through forsaking bad actions and cultivating devotional love for God through recitation of his name and performing devotional music

No need to go as far as reading Sri Guru Granth Sahib, although I'm not stopping you. All the answers are in Japji Sahib.

veer ji if he started , the first thing he will read is Japji Sahib ...the rest of the Gurbani expands on that mangalacharan

[singh598]

Just Jap Ji Sahib would have a lot of information, such as

ek oangkaar, saibang,gurprasad, hukam, apeh aap niranjan soi, the 5khands

a deep subject better to read Gurbani
