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

    What would you call a form of government that rules by what it believes to be God's laws and has leaders appointed or elected in the way it was prescribed in the Scriptures of that religion? A religioacracy?

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

    Yeah, that's going to be a religion imposing their "Godly" laws on everyone else... For their own good, of course.

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

    In theory or in practice? 'Cause it sure doesn't seem to be happening much in practice.

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

    And when do you see this "midday" of their influence having happened? And who were the religious leaders during that time?

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

    Hmmm? How come Baha'is can tell when the Bible is being figurative, but they can't tell when a person is speaking figuratively in a post?

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

    I've asked the Baha'is so many times... Are their religious laws practical? What's going to happen when they try and enforce their sexual morals on everybody? What's going to happen when they outlaw booze and drugs? What are Baha'is going to do with people that like to drink and take drugs and...

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

    The Baha'i leaders are just men, imperfect men. Now vote them into a position of power over all the people on the planet and see what happens.

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

    I'm not sure, but I think in ancient times a whole empire belonged to the same religion. And their King was one of the Gods.

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    Okay, name the different ages you know of and tell me who was the manifestation for that age. After we establish that, we can look at the different social teachings and see how they suited the times.

    How can you tell if a Prophet is true?

    What is this "truth" that you think they recognized? People, even very well educated and smart people, have fallen for some charismatic person. Trouble is... it ends up being some cult religion. I'd use Scientology as an example, but, I don't know, do Baha'is believe L. Ron Hubbard was a true...

    Why do people believe what they believe?

    Of course, they are consistent for a Baha'i. Just like everything about Jesus is consistent with the Hebrew Bible. And about the trinity... Yes, there are verses that imply the Jesus is God. Are there any that imply that he isn't? And what do you do with them if you find any? You can't take it...

    There are no eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the New Testament

    And speaking of claims... This OP is saying that there were no eyewitnesses accounts about Jesus in the NT. I'm sure you disagree with that. If, that is true, then what are you using for evidence for the belief that the NT does contain verifiable eyewitness accounts about Jesus?

    Why do people believe what they believe?

    I don't think her beliefs about Paul is an official Baha'i position. Or... maybe "unofficially" it is. I don't see the Baha'i Faith believing in any doctrine like the "saved" by grace belief. I almost like it, but I don't see how it works. A person is forgiven by accepting Jesus, and that he...

    Why do people believe what they believe?

    Yes, how very true... for Baha'is. But what the Baha'is believe to be true makes what the people in all the other religions false. They, by your own words, are filled with misconceptions and misunderstandings... of their own Scriptures? That's why I argue with Baha'is in that other thread...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    Do you really? Let's see. Ah, you accept the "original" teachings... Just not those "interpretations." Again, you say not those manmade interpretations. So, those Scriptures you mention, are those what you're calling the "original" teachings? With Christianity... is it "founded" on the...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    Yes, and that's why I think it can't work. We will have leaders just as corrupt as the ones we have now. And then give them the authority to make decisions and the power to enforce them? But, even if it was Baha'is in control, I wouldn't trust them with that kind of power and authority either...

    There are no eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the New Testament

    I have no doubt that you feel Jesus in your heart, that you know you have changed, and you know from Scripture that what you believe is true. But so do those other Christians that believe a little to a lot different than you. They all know it and feel it. The Catholics have their beliefs and...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    If the world doesn't accept the Baha'i Faith, I don't see how the Baha'i plan for peace can work. All you'd get is a fragile form of the "lesser" peace. Run by a World Tribunal of the same type of world leaders we have right now. If you believe the Baha'i Faith is true and is our only hope for...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    If the Baha'i Faith is the truth, what else could be or should be the goal? It would be the truth from an Almighty Creator God. We'd all be dumb not to listen to that God... unless... the message isn't really from a God. And how would we determine that? Hmmm? Maybe by doing what we're doing...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    And we care about you too. We want you to make sure you are being suckered into believing in some cult religion. But, in a way, most all religions are cults. Like a religion that worships their prophet like a God. A religion that believes some angel guided him to some Golden Plates. Like a...
