The idea of eternal life bothers me much more. By being eternally unconscious I would not have to be reminded of my shortcomings and failings in this life but somehow I don’t think we are all going to get off so easily.
I want to be happy when I reflect on the life I led down here. Being in...
Again I’m saying that these religions which once were a panacea are spiritually dead and are unable to bring peace to our age. Religions cannot get along with one another. They failed to stop the world wars and it was a Christian nation to drop the atom bomb. Or wasn’t it Christian at that...
My belief is that all the religions were able to become universal until disunity appeared within. Every religion that has appeared has had plenty of time to unite humanity but have failed. I believe that Baha’u’llah will succeed because His teachings are focused on accepting all religions as...
I think it all depends on one’s perspective. Whether one’s aim in life is to focus on the spiritual virtues that all religions teach or fight over theology and interpretation. I believe all the religions seek to spiritually advance humanity to the point we will evolve into peaceful people with...
I used to have inner conflict about God and religion so I rejected all of them because all they were doing was condemning each other. Then I came across a book called the Book of Certitude by Baha’u’llah and it opened my eyes to the truth that all religions come from God and that gave me so much...
Religion needs to address the issues of the age and provide competent solutions otherwise I feel it’s of very little use to humanity.
The relationships between nations, races and religions have been badly damaged and religion is supposed to bring people together but instead it is a major...
Nothing really. I was a Catholic as a child and loved Jesus very much. Then after adolescence I became atheistic. I was not interested in or attracted to any religion but really loved humanistic ideals and felt the need for a better world. Then I came across Baha’i and felt it had concepts and...
The question is not if but how this event will occur. Firstly, I believe that the physical body of Jesus is not what will return nor His personality. By the Second Coming is meant the One to come at the end of the age, the Promised One.
His ‘return’ will be not as the Son but in the glory of...
I found Jesus in my heart when I was a child always revered Him and His teachings of love and forgiveness. As I grew up I did not find Jesus among the many competing sects so drifted away from Christianity until I once again heard His voice in Baha’u’llah and my heart rejoiced with much gladness.
So Moses was false too? Thats not what Jesus taught. Jesus confirmed the religion that came before Him so not all religions are false according to Jesus. And there is nothing, not one word in the Bible which says, Buddha, Krishna, Muhammad, Zoroaster, the Bab and Baha’u’llah are false. That is...
Just like a mirror reflects the sun, I believe Jesus was a perfect reflection of God but that just like the sun does not descend into the mirror in order to reflect itself so too God did not descend into Jesus for Him to fully reflect God. In the Bible it is said that God is Spirit and to...

The first Five Books of Moses I believe were from God not any homophobic individual.
the Torah that God hath confirmed consists of the exact words that streamed forth at the bidding of God from the tongue of Him Who conversed with Him (Moses). (Baha’u’llah)
All forms of sexuality outside the...
Ok I’ll try and explain a bit so hopefully you can see my beliefs are based on using my brains not just blind belief.
One of the most important teachings of Baha’u’llah is He abolished priesthood and clergy and replaced it with ‘the independent investigation of truth’. To ‘see with our own...
