I note your continued intent to place a separation within the Baha'is Faith, with the incorrect use of the name of the only Baha'i Faith.
The statement you made indicates little knowledge of a persons journey and growth in faith, and of the process of the Baha'i administrative order, which...
I see that is your own issue. You are pulling the worst example of theocracy available and trying to frame a future with it, a future that will in no way embrace such a degradation of religion.

One path could be to pick the fruit in each faith, search all things and holding on to what is good.
This requires consultation on a level we are all yet to consider. A global conversation on the oneness of humanity and how a unity in our diversity can be founded, how the unity of Nations can...
I have mentioned many times that the Lesser Peace is not built by the Baha'i, we will be part of it.
There is absolutely no way of pushing something that Baha'i have come to know that very few will currentlt accept. All we can do is keep offering the solutions and see how many eventually get...
It may be you are not able to envision a world where Faith is a way of life. Where the word Theocracy has absolutely no meaning.
One is not able to paint the future with outdated past concepts.

All those Baha'i knows there is only one Baha'i Faith called the Baha'i Faith, that allows for differences of opinion, a Baha'i Faith that @Trailblazer is part of.
Those Baha'i also know that people will grasp on to the claims of a handful of covernant breakers and try to impute there is other...
I always like this passage by Baha'u'llah on this aspect of Faith.
".......That seeker should also regard backbiting as grievous error, and keep himself aloof from its dominion, inasmuch as backbiting quencheth the light of the heart, and extinguisheth the life of the soul. He should be content...
I am aware of what is in the writings on this topic, you may not be.
Thy kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven, cannot be a theocracy, as it also says in the book that offered the prayer, that My Kingdom is not of this world.
There must be a greater awareness we have to find.

As a Baha'i I do not have to imagine it. We live it.
The only issue with your comment is that Liberty needs boundaries. So having a say, means we need a democratic order.
At times how we run and live our lives, also needs moderation. The greatest example.of this is the extremes between...
CG. My hope is that God's Will be done. That may be that no one else ever accepts the Baha'i Faith.
So be it. So take it or leave it, it is not my concern what you or anybody chooses to accept, it is a personal connection between a person and God.

We are all ignorant of what people will choose for their own selves in the future. The greater goal is a prediction of the fruits of the teachings of Baha'u'llah. Having a vision of what can be, enables us to live that unity now amongst a very divided and fractured world, amongst a vast majority...
I personally do not see it is calling for a theocracy. The same book that prayer comes from also offers that men's rule is a given part of faith.
"Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's"
You are not entirly correct about a Baha'i Theocracy. (I...
