To be fair, once someone makes their mind up on religion, it's really, really difficult to change their opinion on the matter. And frankly, most people who visit RF already have an established position that they want to share with the community. Why would someone go to a forum called Religious...
I looked at account settings and religious affiliation is still there, and it still says the religion I follow. Maybe if there was a way when you hover over someone's name there could be a small section that tells you their religious affiliation, that would make the feature useful again?
So, regardless of the claims that the mothers of Messengers were virgins or not, do all the Messengers come through from intervention of the Holy Spirit? In other words - is every Messenger's father God directly?
I use the most vague form of mentioning watching TV. Yes, I get that when people refer to watching TV they often mean linear TV channels, like YouTube TV, but what I'm referring to is watching TV by any means or methods possible. So you would answer streaming services, because YouTube and Twitch...
How do you watch TV the most often?
I ask this because recently I bought eight first-seasons to TV shows for about $30 on E-Bay. From the E-Bay seller Second Sale. The price for physical media has gone down so much because everybody likes the convenience of watching from the Internet. I have...
I'm pretty quiet, reserved and shy in real life. I'm more vocal online. I like the fact that online I can think about what I say before I say it, and obviously I have no problems with stammering or tripping over my words. Once in awhile I'll think a word and not type it, but I can always go back...
Well let me ask you, is there anything special or miraculous about the way the messengers came into existence? Supposedly Jesus was born of the virgin Mary, so his father accordingly to Christians isn't Joseph, but God. Baha'is reject Jesus' sole divinity of being born of a virgin and being...
One thing I did not realize is that it's extremely hard to see my avatar in light mode. So I'm going to change it and remove the transparency so everybody can see it.
No, I don't think Christianity is a cult. And it's not because it's large, old or that the prophet is already dead. It's because there is no litmus test of who is a Christian and who is not, and generally with most Christian denominations they don't exert much control over their members. There...
This is better than no forum at all. And honestly, the only feature I really miss is being able to see new threads so easily. If you can implement something which a section of the forum is dedicated again to showing new threads, I won't really mind all the other differences.
The thing that upsets me the most is that recent threads have been changed to recent posts in home page, so I don't know what to do if I want to see the most recent threads created. Another, much smaller thing, is the section which you can self-label your religion is gone now. I wish there was...
I like the old system more. It would be great if you could change between the old and the new, but this is something I'm just going to have to get used to.
I Google'd monasticism and found that it is a very specific type of clergy, a type of clergy that devotes his or her life to spiritual pursuits. As I understand it with the UHJ, the NSA and the LSA, they are sort-of like clergy, but have lives and jobs outside the Baha'i Faith. In fact...
