    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    In the past it was difficult to grasp concepts we take for granted today. Although certain ancient scriptures do speak of one God, people worshipped the attributes of God as separate gods individually without realising they all belonged to One Supreme Lord. So there are gods like the god of...

    Did we fail God or did God fail us ?

    So you’re saying freedom of choice should be taken away and we should be robots without a will? How would that play out?

    The Rise of Monotheism: How Did One God Become the Norm?

    Yes I agree. To them Jesus is one God the Mary is worshipped as the mother of god the the Father God then God the Holy Ghost. They also worship everything the priest says and their sermons. Muslims worship one God and the other god is their Mullas and imams or caliphs. Baha’is only worship God...

    Building Bridges to the Unity of Humanity

    Influence is not only measured by statistics and numbers. Since Baha'u'llah pronounced the world is but one country, science and technology have created a virtual world through the internet and international communications and travel. His teachings of the oneness and equality of humanity has...

    Building Bridges to the Unity of Humanity

    Unfortunately the 72 Huris are not virgins but it has a deep spiritual meaning. As we will no longer possess human bodies that will not be possible. But those who literally interpret the 72 Huris as virgins are going to be very disappointed.

    Building Bridges to the Unity of Humanity

    The laws given by the Prophets are relative to the times. So Christs teachings on divorce were right for His age or dispensation which ended with the appearance of Muhammad Who’s laws then became the updated laws for Muhammad’s age which all Christians should have turned to as Muhammad was...

    Building Bridges to the Unity of Humanity

    With Baha’u’llah it’s all about accepting the truth in all the religions without any superiority. Both the Bible and Quran are books of God. God’s guidance is contained in both of them.

    Building Bridges to the Unity of Humanity

    Quran 89:22 And thy Lord shall come with angels, rank on rank Its the lack of true understanding of this verse and many others in the Quran which have led believers to deny Prophets after Muhammad. And this one clearly speaks of progressive revelation 31:27 If all the trees on earth were...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    According to Baha’u’llah all the Manifestations are true and none is superior to another. So all Prophets and Messengers are accepted equally by the Baha’i Faith. But you tell me which of the 40,000 sects of Christianity has the correct and true understanding and interpretation of the Bible or...

    What God and heaven really are to me

    I understand your reasoning but certain ‘humans’ throughout history have displayed remarkable power and influence despite being oppressed and persecuted. Outwardly true they appear to be humans and yes they use a human body to communicate with us but they are from a different world completely...

    What God and heaven really are to me

    I think that they’ve done this with materialism and consumerism getting us to feel like we are in a sort of heaven where things will serve our everyday whims and needs but the goal here is so they can get rich, not human happiness. For after a while when we do awake from this perception, we find...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    Hi stvdv. That’s spiritual maturity, to see all people as part of one human family and it is God’s greatest wish according to Baha’u’llah. He Who is your Lord, the All-Merciful, cherisheth in His heart the desire of beholding the entire human race as one soul and one body (Baha’u’llah)

    What do we really ‘know’

    It matters when we try and exalt ourselves over others. Because in reality we know nothing and nothing comes from us. Our so called knowledge is copied from others and our possessions, all of them come from another source such as the ground we walk on, nature and so on. Yet we are often so...

    Building Bridges to the Unity of Humanity

    Baha’u’llah warned that there was a destructive power which if discovered could change the atmosphere and hoped it would not be discovered until people had developed spiritual maturity but God never uses force to make us change. Baha’u’llah’s warning went unheeded. All He was sent to earth for...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    You mention peoples but not the religions. I believe the divinely revealed religions contain the best guidance for humanity but that doesn’t mean other religions do not exert a good influence on society. Any religion or philosophy which promotes the well being of others has merit and is...

    What if we accepted each others Religion?

    The spiritual teachings the virtues are taught by all religions and they can be accepted by anyone. The laws and social teachings differ according to the age and the people they were given to. So it’s easy to accept the Quran and Muhammad just not the interpretations and man made doctrines.

    Building Bridges to the Unity of Humanity

    I think with weapons like nukes and such, the way the world will agree to disarm won’t be because they have all become spiritual which is highly unlikely, but that these weapons will be used and many cities will be destroyed which will trigger a worldwide earthquake where even more major cities...

    Building Bridges to the Unity of Humanity

    Humanity will reach a mature stage where it will sincerely seek to reconcile its differences and that means compromises from all to make the new reality work. A lot of goodwill can fix many seemingly impossible problems and crises. The Baha’is job is not so much to convert people as it is to...

    What do we really ‘know’

    This is another question I’d like to ask everyone. Is it possible for our own minds to deceive us? And how can we verify that what we do believe is actual truth not just because we claim it is but because it actually is? What is the standard or benchmark to define truth? What our parents teach...

    What do we really ‘know’

    What about self questioning? I see a lot of people questioning whether others have got it right bus have they themselves got it right? Is it possible for our own minds to deceive us?
