    How can you tell if a Prophet is true?

    When Jesus walked upon the earth He was surrounded by disciples who were fishermen mostly and couldn’t read or write. So how did they know He was the Lord? Same with most religions. The followers weren’t really educated but they seemed to be able to recognise the truth. How is this so and why...

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

    Not with thousands of conflicting Christian sects. The commandment Christ gave was to love one another yet Christians have ignored this command and become divided over theological disputes. Where does the world turn to when each sect is saying ‘here is Christ’? Christianity is not the one...

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

    What people do not grasp properly is that religion is about love, harmony, acceptance of all, service to humanity. Can we say these things are bad and that the world should be without them? Evil Is perpetrated by people, not taught by any religion. Religion only teaches to do good. But people...

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

    The main law and teaching of Baha’u’llah is the oneness of humanity so all are accepted as equal fellow human beings regardless of race, religion or nationality.

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

    Baha’u’llah said “Obey Me for the love of My Beauty”. Love is the foundation of the Kingdom.

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

    What I believe this prayer refers to is the Revelation of Baha'u'llah where everything is done out of love. Baha'is are not ordered or controlled but obey out of love. Acting solely from love. This is the Kingdom of God on earth where people do things from the love in their hearts rather than...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    Whatever has good merit and serves mankind well is accepted by Baha'is as well.

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    Baha'is accept the Founders and Scriptures of all the major religions. The only thing we do not accept are the interpretations of others as they do not constitute part of the original teachings. The reason we read from the Dhammapada, the Old Testament, New Testament, Quran, Bhagavad-Gita and...

    Without Jesus Creation Isn’t Possible IMO

    Christ is but One of many messengers sent to earth by God. But there is only one God. Although the days of the week are named differently yet the sun is one and the same sun shining each day. God sends His Light to the world regularly not only Christ. So at one time He sent Abraham and Moses...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    In the Bible Hebrews 4:12 it clarifies the mention of sword. For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword.. So Jesus came with the sword of the Word of God. Which, by its nature, separates the sheep from the goats.

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    Baha’u’llah we believe has full authority to make these interpretations as a Manifestation of God. Yes in every age there is a period of confusion until the new Manifestation becomes widely accepted. Today it’s the same. Baha’is believe in the basic foundation of each religion. That is, the...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    The Manifestations role is an educative one so they use stories to convey inner truths according to the capacity and culture of the people at the time. Even some of these stories understood literally still teach a lesson or moral. For example those who ignored the call of Noah and refused to...

    Why Scientists Mostly Reject Spirituality

    I disagree. Every person whether scientist or layman is endowed with spiritual powers and susceptibilities. Love, mercy, compassion, justice, truth, service to others these are amongst hundreds of others, spiritual virtues and powers which every human being possesses from birth whether they...

    Subservience? (Religion)

    For Baha’is it’s not about subservience but love. The Baha’i religion is all about love, doing things out of love not subservience. Baha’u’llah says in His Most Holy Book “ Obey My commandments for the love of My Beauty”. So Baha’is do everything out of love not fear of hell or hope for heaven...

    Priest, Prophet, Preacher

    As far as I know worship is confined to God not any human being. Many Christians make the mistake of worshipping Jesus instead of God. Jesus worshipped God not Himself. It’s ok to love Jesus and His teachings but not to make Him God as He clearly is not and never said He was. Muslims have a...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    The Prophets, Educators or Manifestations all had one main purpose which was to rejuvenate us spiritually. They gave some social and administrative laws but mostly focused on virtues and becoming spiritually aware. When they spoke of rebirth it was spiritual rebirth, that is, to be spiritually...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    We are all blind when it comes to God theist and atheist alike. But what we can and do see is each other and the Manifestations come mainly to help us establish good relationships with each other whether it be races, nations or religions. So accepting one another unconditionally as fellow...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    We are talking about ancient civilisations where we don’t even know who the Manifestation was. But in those religions where do we know Who they are and do have recorded scriptures then we know what was originally taught. Christ taught love. So Christians according to the law of love are one...

    Spirituality/Religion vs. Depression

    Congratulations! I’m very happy to hear that you are overcoming your struggle with depression. I read somewhere that man is a spiritual being and only when he lives a spiritual life can he be truly happy. Our spirit like the body needs food to nourish it which only things like prayer and...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    That’s just the way some people understand it that there are multiple gods performing different functions. We do not know what was originally taught as records don’t go that far back but you can see in just a relatively short period how today’s religions have distorted their original message...
