    There are no eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the New Testament

    I know people that believe in religions that are contradictory to Christianity, and they too have experienced. And, although I don't believe the Baha'i Faith is true, I believe that for them it is true. And it becomes their "rock". I knew some Baha'is that had visions of Abdul Baha'. And I...

    How can you tell if a Prophet is true?

    For you check out this... A Bahá'í View of the Bible Yes, there's talk about love in the Bible, but even if there is "oneness", there's also a lot of us vs. them in it. And for that other Baha'i, check it out... The Báb described Adam as the First Manifestation of God, and described Him as...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    And how can you confirm it? Because it says so in the Baha'i writings? I mentioned two... Muhammad being the first of the three Woes and that he was one of the two witnesses. And those are only "confirmed" in the Baha'i writings. I wonder.... Do Muslims agree with you about that? I'm pretty sure...

    There are no eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the New Testament

    But that's not what the preacher tells them. He gets up there and with a powerful voice declares it is the inerrant, infallible word of God. Lots of us probably know some very nice people that are Christian. Unfortunately, we know a bunch of people that are just clanging cymbals. From 1...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    That's you. That's your claim. So now, name the different ages and who was the manifestation for that age. Ah yes, the progression from family to tribe to nation state and now a world community. Too bad I don't believe it. Again I ask, how do you explain the great empires of the past? All of...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    Which means that the teachings of the older religions are no longer relevant and suited for today. Right? Yes, that is exactly what I think the Baha'is are saying. But wait? They are still relevant and important for today? Or... The Buddha was a Manifestation of God, like Christ, but His...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    Did you "see" it before you were told it? Many? I don't believe any of the references that Baha'is believe in. One of them, the Two Witnesses... Baha'is say that is Muhammad and Ali. Another one, The Three Woes... Baha'is claim the first Woe is Muhammad, the second is the Bab and the third is...

    There are no eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the New Testament

    Your answer sounds like a sleight of hand way of getting around answering my question. People died in protest marches here in the U.S. Some people believe in something that strongly that they are willing to die for it. But, when it comes to a religious belief... Does that make it true? And...

    Building Bridges to the Unity of Humanity

    Fifty years ago I was gullible enough and idealistic enough to think that the Baha'i Faith would work. Now I'm not confident at all, because they have trouble answering the simplest of questions about their Baha'i plan for peace. I see the plan failing right from the start when it expects all...

    Building Bridges to the Unity of Humanity

    Yeah, that should work. Just like how half of the U.S. is "positive" Trump will fix things, and the other half is "positive" Trump will wreck everything. So, are you positive by being "positive" will make the Baha'i Faith work perfectly? We shouldn't look at some of the claims and beliefs and...

    How can you tell if a Prophet is true?

    So, a person claiming to be a manifestation that has been sent by God confirms what is the word of God? But who confirms that a person is a "manifestation" of God? Like I keep asking Baha'is... Where does it say that Adam, Noah, Abraham, and Moses were "manifestations" of God? Other than in the...

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

    So, under a Baha'i government, laws won't be enforced? We'll be on an honor system? I don't think so. Even the World Tribunal during the lesser peace has the authority to enforce its decisions. And what happens when someone disobeys? All the other nations are supposed to rise up and put a stop...

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

    Yes, Baha'is have a plan for the future. What is that plan? How is it going to be put into practice? What problems might arise? Yes, it worth discussing.

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

    Yeah, when was the "midday" for Christianity? Since Muhammad came in 621AD or so, then it had to be before that, right? And about Islam... The Baha'i Faith has the Umayyads as the beast from the Book of Revelation. So, when was this "midday" for Islam? And who were its religious leaders...

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

    Well, you might trust your UHJ leaders, but why should I? Aren't they just men? If they aren't perfect, then how are they going to run a religious government perfectly? What are the checks and balances? It's not the Baha'is community is it? They are supposed to obey whatever decisions that these...

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

    But we've had examples of people being governed by religious rules and by priests, and prophets and people that were believed to be Gods. Now, I don't know what you thing, but I don't think any of those examples worked.

    How can you tell if a Prophet is true?

    Now, I'm not sure, but I was under the impression that a person could eventually, after many rebirths, attain enlightenment like the Buddha. Now, the problem is... Baha'is say that the Buddha was a "manifestation of God" and not like ordinary humans. So, how do Baha'is explain that? For Baha'is...

    How can you tell if a Prophet is true?

    How about when Bill Sears, a Baha'i Hand of Cause, quotes them and claims that they are a prophecy about the Bab or Baha'u'llah? Oh, and who is this John that wrote the Book of Revelation? Do Baha'is believe it is the apostle John that the early Church says wrote the Gospel of John? Here's...

    How can you tell if a Prophet is true?

    So, is it true the it was Ishmael, and not Isaac taken to be sacrificed? Is it true that Jesus did not die on the cross? Did Jesus make some birds out of clay and they came to life? Did Mary give birth to Jesus under a date palm tree? If it is in the Quran, then it must be true and the Bible...

    How can you tell if a Prophet is true?

    But, for Baha'is, it's not literally true... just symbolically true. Plus, Baha'is can't be sure about the authenticity of a verse unless one of the Baha'i prophets quoted that verse. The Bible is not wholly authentic, and in this respect is not to be compared with the Qur'an, and should be...
