If you watch the video, many were not Baha'i and joined in, they were attracted because their choice of heart. Attracted to the realisation thay can be more than they currently were.
This happens in many communities. Many people join in, that are not Baha'i.
The Rhui process has its...
That is part of the process of being born again CG and asking for forgiveness, a private act between the beleiver and God.
We answer for all our choices when we pass from this world.

It may have been that the believers had to defend themselves? Who knows, the Babi did. Baha'u'llah removed this possibility by removing holy warfare from the book.

The big picture is that we should try to learn from the past CG, not to use it against each other.
If the Christians could have understood what Muhammad was saying about the trinity, then they may not so easily reject the Messengers that came after. Likewise with the Muslim interpretation of...
That is a clarity on the law of proven Murder. If a person commits murder, and found guilty, the penalty given by society does not have to be death, life imprisonment is allowable.
Alao allowed is for the Universal House of Justice to enact and repeal other levels of penalty.

God's plans unfold over centuries and millenniums. All our choices have been included in that plan.
God already knows the end, as God already knew the beginning. God knows all our choices, all our thoughts, all are written on Tablets of chrysolite
"Think not the deeds ye have committed have...
All in the way one reads the intent of the scriptures.
God's Law prohibited murder. So put two and tow together and it is logical these verses are not about literal killing.
Let the dead bury the dead is also a key in understanding all those verses.
But, you can all carry on as you wish...
Thus the quandary we all face of recorded history CG. What is accurate, from the source and what is not.
A good example is the Quran correcting the Christian doctrine, beleive it was a God given correction, or do not!
I am not here to change your mind, just offer that there is other choices...
Confession may have never become doctrine and Idol filled Churches not raised, if more Jews had embraces Jesus Christ.
Confessions and use of artefacts are not teachings of Jesus Christ.
Consider also, we could say, what if people had accepted the Most Great Peace? The face of Baha'i would...
What Abdul'baha said is the Essence of What Baha'u'llah said.
The station of distinction is what is used against all Messengers, I have chosen to promote the station of absolute unity.
"Know thou assuredly that the essence of all the Prophets of God is one and the same. Their unity is...
Yet with a majority, there will be Most Great Peace. A rejected peace in this time, so hundreds of years will be required before the majority choose to submit unto God's Will.
The Lesser Peace will first come about, built by a federation of Nations.

If it works for you. I personally see that God gave guidance to all nations and all peoples in one way or another.
In the end, it is the teachings that bring forth fruits that are a sign of divine origin.
In the future, I see time and effort will be put in to try to determine the ancient...
Thus if God's Will is done on earth as it is in Heaven, in each of us, by our choice of embracing that Will, then we will have peace.
It is the most simple prayer for peace, that all submit to God's Will. It is my daily prayer for all humanity, for my wife, my children, my parents, relatives...
Sorry, it is what Baha'u'llah said.
"These Manifestations of God have each a twofold station. One is the station of pure abstraction and essential unity. In this respect, if thou callest them all by one name, and dost ascribe to them the same attributes, thou hast not erred from the truth. Even...
The Message of Muhammad, the Bab and Baha'u'llah likewise brings the sword.
The Word is the sword in every Revelation.
