    If God is loving and omnibenevolent why would God…

    There is such a thing as dreams in which we observe or act out things that seem real. But in an age of materialism everything is understood literally even though Jesus was often quoted to say ‘let those who have ears hear and eyes see’ We all have ears and eyes so what’s He saying here? When He...

    If God is loving and omnibenevolent why would God…

    Baha’is do not interpret the scriptures. The unsealing of the Books is referred to in both Revelation and Daniel. The Guardian had this to say about the Book of Certitude. Shoghi Effendi wrote about the Iqán: Daniel is referring to the Books being sealed until the time of the end which...

    If God is loving and omnibenevolent why would God…

    We are told by Baha’u’llah that God is just but that His mercy exceeds His justice and also that ‘He does whatever He wills’ so we cannot know or second guess what will be God’s judgement when we pass to the next world. As to this world certain laws have been revealed according to the age. It...

    If God is loving and omnibenevolent why would God…

    There’s some great people there. Each age has its particular problem and our age is no different where solutions that were effective in the past cannot hold back world wars or control prejudices and hatreds but are often the cause of them. That is why Christ said He would return and Krishna in...

    A question for all religious believers -- why is your religion more true than any other?

    All the religions have a common thread of truth I believe , so too is science true and every person has truth within them believer or not. Only we need to keep testing our beliefs in action whether our understanding leads to peace and harmony or prejudice and conflict. Only our actions can...

    Miracle vs Magic.

    Depends on the miracle. God’s real miracles are the transformation of peoples character. A magician can’t do that but only create a visual deception.

    Is demonic possession real ?

    My belief is that there is no such being as Satan or demons . It is language used to describe the worst traits of people but not actual beings.

    Jesus’ Presence

    How do we validate it’s Jesus?

    If God is loving and omnibenevolent why would God…

    So you’re saying God, the Omnipotent, cannot send other Messengers to humanity even if He so wishes? You‘re placing restrictions on God? I think if that is an interpretation you got from the Bible then it’s saying God is not God but must obey the Bible too even though being God means He can do...

    If God is loving and omnibenevolent why would God…

    There is a vast difference between God allowing and endorsing. God‘s Manifestations only ever offer guidance to mankind. Humanity has and is always free to reject it. God does not punish people for rejecting His Message. We punish ourselves by choosing a worse path or even one which leads to war...

    Am I the body?

    My understanding is that the ‘you’ is a connection with your body but not a part of it and when the connection is severed you still exist.

    If God is loving and omnibenevolent why would God…

    Before Jesus was Moses and Abraham and so on and those people had their path to God although Jesus and Christianity were unknown at the time. Abraham was told His seed would inherit the earth. Baha’u’llah and the Bab and Muhammad were all direct descendants of Abraham. Jesus is the truth...

    Concerned About Sharia

    Ok thanks for questioning me on that. I agree that it’s not a legal thing but more so a social thing. So in that video that girl was describing how it was a family agreement to do an honor killing. But not legally. So I apologise and I thank you for correcting me. I learnt something today. The...

    Concerned About Sharia

    There are at least two verses in the Quran which guarantee freedom of religion. They are: Sura 2:256 Let there be no compulsion in religion, for the truth stands out clearly from falsehood. Sura 109:6 Say: O disbelievers! I worship not that which ye worship; Nor worship ye that which I...

    Concerned About Sharia

    They take place officially under the orders of Mullas . It is a practise from a misinterpretation of a verse in the Quran. Women have been hanged, people executed, imprisoned and tortured. Without shame as it is considered to be lawful under shariah.

    What makes your God a God?

    Really liked your insights and the way you explained God. I can only add that ”I know nothing”. I know God exists but it is beyond mortal mind to comprehend God.

    Concerned About Sharia

    With Shariah things like honor killings which are abhorrent are legal. These kinds of laws came from fanatical clerics not God or religion so many of these laws are unjust and not fit for civilisation. Also the term to dress ‘modestly’ has resulted in covering women head to toe. So shariahs...

    Should the oneness of humanity be taught in all schools worldwide

    It’s common sense that we don’t befriend those who commit such atrocities but every human being is entitled to be treated with dignity and respect. Why should we spend $50,000 on a missile instead of feeding the poor? Because the poor are seen as ‘them and we as us’. It’s a candid...

    Should the oneness of humanity be taught in all schools worldwide

    I believe the contradictions come from man not God. All through the ages man has not been able to write so many valid traditions were passed down orally and could only really be verified when a Manifestation appeared with written Words distinguishing truth from falsehood. So only in recent...

    Why believe the promises about the next life?

    Even so, God is the God of Love and Mercy towards all of us and we are given opportunities to grow and develop spiritually even if we initially refused and rejected God here. There is always the chance we can correct those things in the next world so all is not lost. Those who initially may...
