Salam.
Link I believe we are all brothers and sisters except we listen too much to the divisive voices that want to keep us apart. I always keep a Quran by my bedside because I believe it is the Holy Word of God.
Hi CG. How are you doing? I always enjoy reading your posts because you mostly ask very reasonable questions and get us all thinking. I learn so much from you and many here but I’m afraid I will never know everything even in a thousand lifetimes but it’s fun sharing and comparing notes.

“Where, precisely, is "Christianity" since it obviously cannot be identified with the irreconcilably opposed organizations that claim to speak for Christ?”
Numbers is really a moot point because all religions including Islam and Christianity began with a handful of followers and only after centuries did the numbers become significant. The Baha’i Faith is only some 200 years old yet it is united and speaks with one voice while previous religions are...
Definition of a miracle - an extremely outstanding or unusual event, thing, or accomplishment (Merriam-Webster)
Transformation of one’s character from evil and corrupt to saintly through belief in God is I believe, most definitely an outstanding accomplishment which is described also as a miracle.
Genesis 6:18
18 But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you.
The Ark here to me is the Ark of the Covenant because to enter the Ark is synonymous with establishing God’s Covenant with Noah and guarantees...
The only real miracle is that people became transformed. They became selfless and sacrificed their lives to help and serve others. and there are many people who have been transformed . This miracle is proven beyond any doubt.
I believe the term new heaven refers to the ‘heaven of Revelation’ because it is a prophecy about Christ’s return so I understand that to mean Jesus will bring a new revelation from God for today and the earth of men’s hearts will be changed as far as belief in the new revelation. Christ also...
The concept of a higher reality or truth or Being that is worshipped has existed since time began. It is essentially a timeless concept brought to us by the Great Spiritual Beings Who from time to time appear on earth and influence entire civilisations and billions of people for thousands of...
I’ve been going through some videos of what is being and has been done to the Iranian Baha’is. Anyone who agrees to this treatment must have no shame whatsoever. So many graves desecrated with nameplates destroyed so family members can no longer identify where the remains of their loved ones are...
All the Manifestations teach love, peace, brotherhood and virtuous character. Once we divorce ourselves from that and enter the realm of superiority and self righteousness we depart from the true spirit and meaning of religion which is to foster harmony between people. So the religions shun one...
The reason I believe why religion is being abandoned is because it has been misused instead of what it originally was meant for - love and brotherhood.
In our age the most urgent need is for everyone to get along peacefully.
Belief that Muhammad is the last Prophet is fine but this belief...
Those who want peace and unity have united together and live in peace and harmony without wars or bloodshed. But those who don’t care or don’t see any reason to unite all they inherit is a world of conflict and wars. Yes Baha’u’llah has brought together those who want to be united and live in...
You should not abandon hadiths altogether but some do contain truth.
The Apostle of God said: `There will come a time for my people when there will remain nothing of the Qur'an except its outward form and nothing of Islam except its name and they will call themselves by this name even though...
Here is what Baha’u’llah states in this regard.
“Obey God and obey the Apostle, and those among
you invested with authority.” By “those invested with authority” is meant
primarily and more especially the Imáms—the blessings of God rest upon them!
They, verily, are the manifestations of the...
