    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    But some religious sects and movements are believed to be in error... and maybe even by the Baha'is. Like JW's or like any other Christian sect that believe Jesus is God, or like the Ahmadiyya. And what do Baha'is believe about the Hindu sects that worship many Gods? So, what do Baha'is go by...

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

    If she read the whole Gospel of John, she would know that his disciples did see him again. But Baha'is don't believe that the resurrection, as written in the Gospel of John, really happened. So, still a Baha'i could say that they never saw him after that. But, just to let you know, I love...

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

    Here's what I found on some Baha'i forum post... O CONCOURSE of bishops! Trembling hath seized all the kindreds of the earth, and He Who is the Everlasting Father calleth aloud between earth and heaven. Blessed the ear that hath heard, and the eye that hath seen, and the heart that hath turned...

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

    To all you Baha'is... Unbelievable! So God told prophets things and people wrote about these things, but what they believed about those things wasn't true? And now that the Baha'is are here, now we know what all those things meant? Seriously? What's all that BS about the Bible being a "sure...

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

    I think what they attempt to do is claim that the Bab is the Lamb/Lamb that was slain and Baha'u'llah is symbolically God in Revelation. But context is meaningless to a Baha'i. I've asked several times for them to show how the context for the Second Woe fits what happened during the Bab's...

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

    Baha'is aren't supposed to interpret any Scriptures? Are Baha'is interpreting their Scriptures, the Baha'i writings, correctly?

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

    Yet, Baha'is believe there was a person named Adam. So, at what point does the story in the Bible become actual history and no longer a metaphor? Adam is regarded as the first Manifestation of God in the Bahá’í Faith. In a footnote to the document Bahá’u’lláh prepared by the Bahá’í...

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

    What do Baha'is do then? Just look at the words and put up their hands? That is until the "true" meaning was told to you in the Baha'i writings? Hmmm? How did Bill Sears come up with his interpretations when he wrote his book? But I think you're right... Baha'is just blindly follow whatever...

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

    Hmmm? You got a couple of Christians posting to you here... How's the bridge building going? Does it start with them or you? But then, where do you start with Christians that are so conservative in how they follow the Bible? Now if you can build some bridges with them, I will be immensely...

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

    What Christian sect is he? I would guess that it's a liberal sect. If it's a Fundamental, Conservative sect, then that would truly be a miracle.

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

    Ah... You still have the context wrong. The scroll is unsealed, and then in the end of Revelation it says not to seal up the prophecies in that scroll. That scroll is what keeps getting unsealed in Revelation. Rev 5:5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe...

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

    When I first was told about the Baha'i Faith, a lady made a point of telling that Baha'u'llah said that we were created noble, we do we put ourselves down? But it's things in the Bible and the NT that put us down. But then in the Gospels, the "good news", told us what we had to do to get right...

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

    So, as a Baha'i, do you take everything that is said in the Bible as "clearly" meaning what it says? Because somewhere in there it says that our righteousness is like filthy rags. But anyway, Born Again Christians believe that Adam and Eve were created pure, but then fell. And that caused sin...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    The kind of answers I get from Baha'is is more like "in essence" all the religions and their Scriptures are true. Here's one quote I found... If we investigate the religions to discover the principles underlying their foundations, we will find they agree; for the fundamental reality of them is...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    Yes, it's very debatable, because it's all based on his Baha'i beliefs. Baha'is add Krishna and Buddha into their mix of "messengers/manifestations." I don't see how his little formula works for them. Krishna? Many Gods and many incarnations of the Gods. Buddha? Very little or no need for a...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    Not exactly... They become attached to the teachings of the Scriptures in their religion, which then becomes attachment to what how their chosen religious leaders interpret those Scriptures. The Baha'i leaders do have an interpretation. That's the one you believe. It is far different than the...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    Transmuting Soul and TB are very different in their Baha'i beliefs. I agree more with TB on how she doesn't care about the Bible and what it says... unless it says that Jesus' work is finished and he is not coming back, then those verses she takes literally. But TS, or Tony, says that the...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    Baha'is don't believe the Valley of Achor is Akka? Here is part of what it says in that link... There is no doubt that Baha’is believe these are prophecies proving their religion to be true. I was a Baha’i thirty years and believed this throughout my Baha’i experience. I believed that the...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    For that one Baha'i that doesn't know that there is a Baha'i teaching that includes the "oneness" of religion. The Bahá’í teachings unequivocally proclaim the essential oneness of God and unity of all religions. Bahá’u’lláh explains that the Founders of the world religions, the great universal...

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

    That's meaningless to Baha'is. They don't take Genesis literally. In fact, they don't believe it is accurate. They believe somebody changed that story about Abraham taking his son to be sacrificed. Somebody changed it from Ishmael to Isaac. Of course they can't say how or when this happened...
