    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    Now, by the time Christians get done writing about him Jesus becomes a God and the only way to get your sins forgiven. That Jesus conquered death and Satan and is coming back to destroy all evil kings and rulers. That Jesus walked on water, cast out demons and raised the dead. A Jesus that...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    By the time Baha'is are done with rewriting the Gospels, what is left of Jesus that makes him more distinct than anybody else? So, yes... Baha'is say he was born of a virgin. What else? What do Baha'is believe he said or did that makes him so special to be called a "manifestation of God"? Did...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    There a lot of interchanging between the words "manifestation" and "messenger". Since angels means "messengers", then in the Bible there are a lot of "messengers". But what about "manifestations"? The Manifestations of God are appearances of the Divine Spirit or Holy Spirit in a series of...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    I can understand why Baha'is think that it is Baha'u'llah. They need anything they can get to make the "return of Christ" their prophet and not Jesus himself. But doesn't Islam have Jesus coming back with the Mahdi? Maybe Firedragon or Link can clarify it. Here what I found... Sunni and Shia...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    I forgot the Baha'is try to claim the "Comforter" verses as being their prophet. But those verses fit very well with the Holy Spirit coming at Pentecost... with one verse even identifying the "Comforter" as being the Holy Spirit. But that doesn't matter to Baha'is, if it's close... that is...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    Now with Moses he says someone else will come who is like him. But Jesus doesn't do that. Baha'is have to make "Son of Man" the "Lamb" and all the other things that he used when was talking about himself, into him meaning someone else... someone like him, but it's not him that he was speaking...

    Thy Kingdom Come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

    I was speaking about what Baha'is claim. Revelation is all about the Baha'i Faith. I argue with them all the time about Abdul Baha's claim that the "three Woes" are Muhammad, the Bab and Baha'u'llah. They make the "two witnesses" Muhammad and Ali. And of course, the Lamb that was slain they say...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    I do think it is possible for the Baha'i Faith to catch on, but then what? If they ever became the majority in the world or even in a nation, how would it work? Would Baha'is have a secular government along side their National Spiritual Assembly? Either way, they could vote in people that would...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    Now there is one interesting title that the Baha'is claim for Baha'u'llah... The Prince of this world. Of the five key prophecies by Jesus Christ fulfilled by Baha’u’llah, cited by Shoghi Effendi in God Passes By, Baha’u’llah’s messianic identification as the “Prince of this world” is...

    Thy Kingdom Come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

    In the Book of Revelation it doesn't refer to Jesus. But you know how it is... most all of us think what we believe is the truth. Baha'is are no different, and like some people, they don't just think it, they know their stuff is the truth. But... the important one... the one we are...

    Thy Kingdom Come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

    Hey, no problem. You got to learn to think like a Baha'i. First... Baha'u'llah is the Lion of Judah. Which can be proven because he was related to whoever he needed to be related to, so he could literally fulfill a prophecy. And the genealogical records prove that. (Which are where? And who kept...

    Thy Kingdom Come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

    And why again are all the Holy Books sealed? Just because one verse in Daniel says to seal up his prophecies because they are for a later time? Why would that seal up all the other books of the Bible? Why would it seal up the NT and Quran? Why would it seal up Hindu and Buddhist Holy Books...

    Thy Kingdom Come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

    The Bab? Baha'is don't talk much about him, yet they make such a big deal about 1844. They say that a prophecy in Daniel points to 1844 as the day when the Promised One comes. They say that 1260 is prophesied in Revelation, and it happens six times, and the year 1260 in the Islamic calendar is...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    Supposedly, these were God's Laws. But in ancient times there were several people with different Gods and different laws. Baha'is don't deal with them. They make it sound like the laws in the Hebrew Bible were meant for all people. Then those laws were replaced with a set of new laws that were...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    Hmmm? I make it unclear? It's so confusing that Baha'is have confused AI... AI Overview Yes, Baha'is believe that Muhammad, the Bab, and Baha'u'llah are all considered "anointed ones of God" or "Manifestations of God," meaning they were divine messengers sent by God to guide humanity at...

    Thy Kingdom Come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

    So, should I accept all the incarnations of Vishnu? Or just Krishna? That's probably a dumb questions, I should accept all of them. Or... is there a slight chance that some of them might be mythical? Then I wouldn't want to accept them as if they were real. But I know Krishna was real because...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    Since there is that prophecy that Baha'is use that does mention Mt. Carmel, then why wouldn't it be clear in that other prophecy? Why make it so confusing? So, let's see if I got this right... God meant Mt. Carmel but said Mt. Zion, but didn't worry about it, because he new hundreds of years...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    But they also make Muhammad and the Bab "Christs". So, that means the Bible has to have four Messiah that were prophesied. And some Baha'is have said that... that the disciples hid the body. Which means is the Gospel story symbolic or was it made up to hide the fact that they hid the body? Here...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    I looked up "resurrection of Jesus" and didn't find one quote from Baha'u'llah. But here's some from the other Baha'i leaders... ...the spiritual resurrection of man... is...his acceptance of Divine Manifestations. Shoghi Effendi, Lights of Guidance, 1988 revised edition, p.481 Concerning the...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    So, I thought Loverofhumanity said Baha'is don't interpret. Or did all this come from Baha'u'llah? But anyway, that's okay. Now I know how to read the Bible and determine its true meaning. Whatever it literally says, that's not the true meaning. Thanks.
