    Not at all. I just meant that religion teaches to do good but not all obey. If Buddha or Christ encourages love and people instead choose to hate then They are not at fault as the followers made their own choice.

    Why Do You Reject Jesus?

    God and religion to me is all about loving one another, improving our characters and serving humanity. Jesus was all about love one another so if we truly believe in Jesus then why are Christians divided into over 45,000 denominations?

    Why Do You Reject Jesus?

    He’s already come and gone and they all missed it because they didn’t watch and pray, so they did not enter the kingdom but those who were awake did enter.

    Why Do You Reject Jesus?

    Very true but how many Christians do you really think are saved after fragmenting into 45,000 denominations. Instead of putting Christ’s commandment to love one another first they made theological disputes their new God. Where is love? Where is brotherhood? Will the true christianity please...

    How can you tell if a Prophet is true?

    I think that before theological disputes broke out, love ruled, but later, theology became the new God and they abandoned the teaching to love one another and divided into sects. The original law and commandment was always love. With Islam it was supposed to be peace but sects also soon arose...

    That is an excellent observation. I admire your discernment.

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    Definitely not. The Dhammapada, the Noble Eightfold Path, the Four Noble Truths, the Bhagavad-Gita and others we Baha’is read from these scriptures in our Houses of Worship all over the world. Also things like mindfulness and meditation are also teachings which come from these religions and...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    I explained very clearly that the virtues and spiritual teachings of all religions are one and all true. Only the interpretations and peoples understanding differ, but they are not part of the original teachings. There are promises in many religions that one day the interpretation will come...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    The reason God sent Baha'u'llah is because His laws are relevant for our day and age and our problems. World peace is needed now and unity between religions and the oneness of all people. If people can understand that there is a Manifestation of God for each age, then we can have understanding...

    How can you tell if a Prophet is true?

    Were these Educators from another world that they possessed a power of influence no human has yet achieved? They were persecuted, imprisoned even crucified yet their cause spread all over the world. Who has ever been able to achieve such feats? Buddha changed Asia, Muhammad transformed the...

    How can you tell if a Prophet is true?

    Yes I know that but none of us living now have seen those miracles so they are only proof for those who were present at the time. And what about Figures like Buddha and others did they perform miracles also? So early belief of all religions you are saying is based on miracles?

    How can you tell if a Prophet is true?

    The matter I’m exploring is why the early believers accepted these Educators without the texts. Today it’s only the texts but in the early days what was it that attracted them?

    How can you tell if a Prophet is true?

    The thread was to try and explore why people accept the great teachers or prophets before they have even revealed their teachings. So for example, at the beginning of the Buddha His scriptures did not fully exist nor did the Gospels with Christ yet people today having access to works like the...

    How can you tell if a Prophet is true?

    In our writings they are called by many names. Manifestations is one, Educators is common and also Suns of Truth and many other terms relevant to the function they fulfil.
  15. loverofhumanity

    How can you tell if a Prophet is true?

    The term Educator is also valid because people like Buddha taught others how to become enlightened.

    How can you tell if a Prophet is true?

    But miracles are only proof for those living in their time. Centuries later none of us can see these miracles. So upon what then do we base our belief?

    How can you tell if a Prophet is true?

    After the Prophet has left the earth all you have is words and books. No one alive today was present when Jesus walked the earth so they have nothing to rely on except His reported Words. The same with all the Manifestations. All we have is a record of their lives and teachings.

    How can you tell if a Prophet is true?

    I’m not saying they were stupid I just want to know how they recognised Jesus without the scriptures.

    How can you tell if a Prophet is true?

    The disciples had visions and dreams of Jesus after His crucifixion but they believed in Him well before so how did they know HI’m as their Lord. The authorities of the day labelled HI’m as a criminal.

    How can you tell if a Prophet is true?

    I’m not assuming all people but the disciples of the Prophets did not possess the learning current amongst men. That doesn’t mean that they weren’t intelligent. I’m just asking how are they able to recognise the prophet when others cannot.
