    Jesus is not God

    Isaiah 62:1 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet, till her vindication shines out like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch. 2 The nations will see your vindication, and all kings your glory; you will be called by a new name...

    Isaiah 62:2 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name. Revelation 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat...

    If you believe in God AND evolution, why do you believe in God?

    That's a good enough concise explanation.

    Believe it or not I have a lot of Quaker ancestors including some that lived then, but I've never seen that movie.

    Lets Talk About Quakerism

    With all those splits in the Quaker church, I don't know what Quaker organization I grew up in. I didn't know until after I was a Baha'i that there were splits when I read the history of Quakers that my parents had that I borrowed. Naturally I was interested in the religious roots of my family.

    Lets Talk About Quakerism

    Yes, James Cadbury started the Cadbury chocolate company. There also exists Barclays bank started by Quakers in London. This is from Wikipedia about James Naylor: Beginning in 1656, Fox expressed concerns to Nayler that both Nayler's ministry and that of his associate Martha Simmonds were...

    Lets Talk About Quakerism

    My father was a Quaker minister. I grew up in a Quaker family. Officially they are the Society of Friends, but no Quaker will object if you call them a Quaker. The origin of name "Quaker" was when George Fox, the founder of the Society of Friends said to a judge "tremble before the Lord". It was...

    Article, “Internal Proofs of Bible Authenticity”

    Religion has its limits in each time when it is revealed as I see it in pushing human rights forward. The people of that time have to be able to accept it.

    Article, “Internal Proofs of Bible Authenticity”

    It's better than the slavery we had in America. This was ahead of its time. There are other quotes which give the slaves some rights. For instance if an owner strike a slave and the slave loses his or her vision in one or more eyes, the slave ca no longer be their property. If the slave dies...

    Article, “Internal Proofs of Bible Authenticity”

    That is a bad translation, which sometimes happens with the King James Version Exodus 21:20 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21 but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave...

    Article, “Internal Proofs of Bible Authenticity”

    I don't know if you are objecting to Hebrews having slaves. Moses laid down rules for slavery that were more humane than the ones that Christians had in America up to the civil war. So Moses was ahead of His time. Exodus 21:19 the one who struck the blow will not be held liable if the other can...

    How Paul changed the course of Christianity

    That's pretty much on the mark. The didn't remember exactly what Jesus said. The people that wrote these Gospels were not the original witnesses, it seems The original witnesses wouldn't remember exactly what Jesus said, then it was passed down probably orally. The Letters by Paul were written...

    How Paul changed the course of Christianity

    I believe he had a vision, but he did seek to present Christianity in a way that the Greek and Romans could relate to: 10:33 Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved. (King James Bible, 1 Corinthians) Later in...

    RF Kennedy Jr. suspends campaign and endorses Trump.

    Well, never mind, I don't want to further into this, because I think I was being too political in this response, which Baha'is are not supposed to be, because that causes division, and you can't vote here anyway, so it was silly of me to intervene on what you believe.

    RF Kennedy Jr. suspends campaign and endorses Trump.

    I'm sorry that I created division between us. I don't expect you to follow Baha'i rules, you have your own path. I admire that you have done independent investigation for all the political figures. I apologize for my behavior. I was too political, and on my path that is wrong. You have your own...

    RF Kennedy Jr. suspends campaign and endorses Trump.

    He' not up for election anymore, so this stuff is irrelevant. I didn't say this before but Baha'is are not supposed to be arguing about politics, endorsing candidates, Putting down candidates. These help lead to disunity, and at this time there is disunity between us, so I never should have been...

    How Paul changed the course of Christianity

    As to this one, consider this from a Baha'i author: Modern Christians sometimes use passages from the New Testament as titles or descriptions of Jesus. Perhaps the best example would be John 14:6, '1 am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me'. Bahá'í would...
