    Aren’t we all really worshipping the same God?

    God is Great. Only us people do that but God is perfect.

    Aren’t we all really worshipping the same God?

    I don’t know what you’re getting at but I personally think that whatever ‘higher Being or Reality’ religious people pray to, it all seems to be the same mystical experience that everyone is experiencing except outwardly they express their worship differently. Some sit, others bow, others...

    Aren’t we all really worshipping the same God?

    Another example. Just by chance the Muslim calendar and the Baha’i calendar have their month of Fasting now so that both Muslims and Baha’is are now fasting. During the Fast both Muslims and Baha’is pray to God. So what’s the real difference? Outwardly we may express how we observe the fast...

    Aren’t we all really worshipping the same God?

    When a Buddhist prays to a statue of Buddha and a Christian a statue of Christ aren’t they both addressing a mystical reality not the stone or concrete? What or who is it they pray to? I read that some Buddhists pray to Amitabha Buddha so that they may reach the Pure Land upon death just like...

    Aren’t we all really worshipping the same God?

    No son was in the end sacrificed. Abraham was tested and passed the test that God came first. But although the Bible says Isaac and the Quran Ishmael it does not matter as all the seed of Abraham were blessed and were to inherit the earth spiritually and that has happened.

    Aren’t we all really worshipping the same God?

    We believe in the God of the Quran so are you saying the God of the Quran is a deceiver?

    Aren’t we all really worshipping the same God?

    My understanding is that the mind cannot contain God but that we have the ability to recognise God or detect God through our inner senses such as insight and perception. Just like outward hearing and sight we also have inner senses. It is these senses that can detect God but not know Him fully...

    Aren’t we all really worshipping the same God?

    I agree that there is too much superstition in the name of religion but things like the human body and nature reflect signs of an unfathomable and unparalleled Intelligence.

    Aren’t we all really worshipping the same God?

    That may very well be true and/or/in addition to the fact that all throughout recorded human history there have appeared Prophets, Messengers and Great Educators Who speak of a God and claim to bring teachings and guidance from God for our spiritual well being and development. So I think that...

    Aren’t we all really worshipping the same God?

    Say for example I pray to God to remove my difficulties and another prays to the God Who removes difficulties say by the name Ganesha. Apart from a name I see no difference in reality only maybe in outward practice. Aren’t we all approaching the same higher Reality?

    Aren’t we all really worshipping the same God?

    I agree that we are all connected. But I believe diversity and uniqueness are prevalent in nature and the universe reflecting only really one God. How is the universe the same when we see uniqueness and diversity everywhere? Consider. If all the grains of the world were compared to one...

    Aren’t we all really worshipping the same God?

    I really love that quote from the Rig Veda. Truth is one. The wise describe it in various ways. Whenever I pray or worship I have no image in my mind of God because I know then I would be worshipping the image created by my own mind and that is not God. So when I pray I just pray but don’t...

    Aren’t we all really worshipping the same God?

    What do people pray to? They call it by different names but what actually is it they pray to? Can anyone actually describe what it is they pray to I mean people who pray. Isn’t it a mystical feeling that cannot be defined in words? If it is, then how would we know we are not praying to the same...

    Aren’t we all really worshipping the same God?

    In the world today many people worship in different ways and using different names but aren’t they all really praying to the same one God or Reality? Explain why or why not you agree or disagree. This thread is mainly for those who worship some God but anyone may comment.

    The only solution is to love all mankind

    The only world where God’s laws would apply is one where the people wanted it. When people desire they want these laws only then will they be enacted. Everything is voluntary. The Baha’is can’t fix anything. It’s up to the world and its people if they want, to adopt the Baha’i teachings and...

    What "if" you are wrong

    Just like the physical senses can sense physical things, the spiritual senses can perceive truth, reality and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit manifests itself in the Holy Words of the Great Educators and Manifestations and can easily be perceived if we use our inner senses. This Holy Spirit is...

    What if we didn't accept other peoples' religions

    I think more of this gives promise of a peaceful future where religion mobilises its masses for peace. https://www.rfp.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/STRATEGIC-PLAN-FINAL.pdf

    The only solution is to love all mankind

    A just system, which the world lacks right now, can easily deal with evil and oppression. It’s that firstly people have no faith in the goodness of human beings that we can create such a system and secondly that we have not yet come together to discuss the issue. I’m sure that we can set up a...

    The only solution is to love all mankind

    In todays world it can only work If that love be extended to all humankind. That means dealing with our prejudices. It’s easy yet has been made to seem impossible. But this impossibility only applies to those with vested interests. We can broaden our vision and put humanity first just like we...

    The only solution is to love all mankind

    My understanding is that future societies won’t be authoritarian but consultative. Gradually as it becomes clear over time that extremist forms of education lead to things like wars and prejudice, society will choose a form of education which protects it from these prejudices. Nothing will be...
