I see If we structure our lives on the virtues and morals that Jesus taught and practiced, then the Kingdom of God is on earth as it is in heaven.
It is a snowball effect, this way of life attracts other souls, when we forgo that life, then we start to repel.

Since when is a theocracy based on a democratically elected representation at the grass roots, national and international level?
You vision of this is clouded by an old world order disfunctional theocracy.

Yes, embracing all the good is meritorious and a great thing to do, the issue is even that path needs structure and control to move forward in a meaningful way. Not everyone will want to do the right thing, nor will they want peace, there will always be an element of humanity that choose the...
I would offer it is only how we use the guidance, which is basically given in naught but love, knowing what Justice humanity needs, from a source that I see is all knowing.
Baha'u'llah did not write to all the Kings and Rulers, government's, ecclesiastical ranks and all the peoples of the earth...
The way I see that statement is one of a rebellious adolescent who thinks growing up means complete liberty, which in the end ònly leads to sedition. Humanity is in need of guidance to protect itself from its own ignorance. An adult, knowing this, will embrace that guidance.

I envisage a global system, backed by national and local levels of authority that is ruled by humanity, via democratic elections. I see that system will draw on the legislative capacity of the Spirit in matter's related to Law and moral conduct.

I see what you may call the fundamental differences are not of God, they are man's interpretation of scriptures.
The fundamental foundation of all true Faiths will be Love, Unity, Virtues and Morals. They will all fight the good fight, calling us to change for the better, to serve each other...
I am not able to see what you are seeing.
I would assume you could do the same thing for the Bab and Baha'u'llah, who have independent Messages.
I see the first consideration is that at the end of ages, the zodiac signs are doubled like in Revelation 4. No longer 12 Disciples or Imams, but 24...
I would envisage, for that kingdom to be on earth, that a Majority of people will come to that realisation and embrace every other soul in the same light. Humility will be the norm, as would service to each other.

I love the song and I see the reason in the plea behind "And no religion too", but I also understand that verse is unattainable, while the rest is attainable. What is attainable, is an understanding of religion that will fulfill the cry offered in the other verses of that song.
It is a...
I personally see that both Christianity and Islam, at some time during their rise to the midday of their influence, did in some ways bring God's Kingdom to earth in that age.
That is why I see verses such as this as timeless, as even when the Baha'i Faith reaches the midday of its influence, I...
Thus why it is called the Lesser Peace CG. It is during the Lesser Peace that the majority of the world will eventually see the wisdom in the system offered by Baha'u'llah...
When one is looking for something, one can find it, but you will note I have offered a few times, that what may unfold in the future will not be based on what is currently known and used as an undesirable theocracy.
One needs to read the entire link posted, as it also contains much advice about...
I agree with what you have offered.
Could it be that every Revelation is actually a fullfullment to this prayer?
Every martyr, every saint that has brought that Love, are the power feeding this prayer

All your views danieldemol. There is no compulsion in Religion. You are still using examples that are not allowing a choice of faith.
If you choose to join, you choose to embrace the laws. If you have chosen to join and do not want to follow the laws, then withdraw and do something else in...
