I posted this talk in another OP, but it is also applicable to your comment and this OP
Abdul'baha spoke to the San Franciscan Jewish community in 1912. His astounding questions, frank and courageous talk now reflect a neglect that is manifesting in events we now face in this age. This is a...
I see this is a new way of looking at the age old concepts CG. If we look at past religions, Muhammad gave a list of past Messengers, Buddhism has a line of Buddha's, some Hindu practices have a line of Avatars, we have the biblical line of prophets and Baha'u'llah has given a line of...
You are most likely correct, I took that thought from a memory, I should have checked. The statement I made was easily proved and obviously wrong.

The great thing is CG is that what all others have embraced, has naught to do with your journey, you get the chance to look at it all for your own self.
That is really the best advice I can give to you. Forget all what others have offered and embraced. Look at it all with your own eyes and hear...
Science is not able to dispute the existence of God, the source of our ability in Science, so I would offer why consider such a path?
I would offer both Science and religion need to be in harmony and not try to dispute with each other.

One can consider that the world is relative to our nature and nurture, as well as knowlegde and that our situation can change in a blink of the eye.

Baha'u'llah's life before the declaration was exemplary. He was known as the Father of the Poor, his charity was wide and constant. He constantly amazed people as to the depth of his wisdom. The childhood of the Messengers already indicates to people that they are extraordinary. All these...
Trustworthiness and Truthfulness are the pinnacle of virtues, one such reference.
". The fourth Taraz concerneth trustworthiness. Verily it is the door of security for all that dwell on earth and a token of glory on the part of the All-Merciful. He who partaketh thereof hath indeed partaken of...
The "Image" explains this verse, an Image is not God, but the Image is creation, it a product of the Holy Spirit, the image God made humanity in.
" The Son is the image of the invisible God", not God.
Baha'u'llah offered this.
"The world is but a show, vain and empty, a mere nothing, bearing...
This would most likely then, for you, not be a debate worth participating in, that is, if you see no importance in Scriptures, that is what I would use in any reply, as supporting evidence of the statement made.
2 Timothy 3:16
"All scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching...
The position of the Oneness of Humanity, of one planet, one peole please. The position of the elimination of predudices, the position of a universal compulsory education for both girls and boys, the position of the equality of both women and men. (Note I put them first in my reply, as women will...
I see the is applicable to the Messengers as they are the Good Tree that produces the good fruit that the rest of us eat from, in turn we are planted and bear fruit accordingly to how much we partake of that fruit.
A bad tree, producing bad fruit, is a false prophet. We become that tree if we...
In my OP position Mirza Ghulam Ahmad would not be a true independent Messenger that can speak on Behalf of God, or via Muhammad. The quote you posted would not then be a scripture from the God, but a statement of a man granting themselves a false station.
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad uses the Quran and...
