I think those beliefs are beautiful and will help humanity very much. There are a couple I believe differently to but I want to focus on what we have in common.
Now what is omnism? I would prefer to hear it from you than google it. I love your profile name too Starlight.
The other religions as revealed by their Manifestations are correct and true. When Baha’is refer to religion we refer to the actual religion ‘as revealed’ not the added dogmas and interpretations.
The problem with authenticity is that Christ did not record His teachings. And what was recorded...
Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. [Matt. 7:21; Also see 1 Thess. 4:3-8]
He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God...
When I first became a Baha'i I used to go to the Baha'i House of Worship in Sydney where they read from all religious scriptures considered to be the Word of God. Now I remember there were many passages read in the Temple which I really liked. But one in particular that stayed with me all my...
Exactly the same. I read the Buddhist, Hindu, Christian and Muslim Holy Books regularly and I get so much spiritual sustenance from them all just as I do the Baha’i Writings. They are all bread and water for my spirit and soul. In the Dhammapada, the Bible, the Bhagavad-Gita and Quran, there...
By unity i would say a strong bond between the races, religions and nations based on our common humanity that cannot be broken. We are all human and this planet is our home. By unity also is meant to get rid of this ‘us vs them’ mentality and for all humanity to be as one family. For those...
Thanks for the definition of guru. As to proof of God’s existence I cannot offer any proof as it is something each person needs to find out for himself. And if one’s journey leads them to the conclusion there is no God then to him God does not exist.
As to Baha’u’llah, again it’s only...
Yes very true. Like there is only one sun in the sky there is only one truth which comes from God.
The truth was a mirror in the hands of God. It fell, and broke into pieces. Everybody took a piece of it, and they looked at it and thought they had the truth.” (Rumi)
Each Manifestation was entrusted with a certain Mission, so He taught whatever was needed at that time until the next Manifestation appeared. Whether or not that included changes and corrections was entirely up to that Manifestation. Also to add to new laws and teachings for the new age.
I think you’re referring to this quote. . If the world chooses in 600 years time to follow Baha’u’llah then that’s their choice.
When the victory arriveth, every man shall profess himself as believer and shall hasten to the shelter of God's Faith. Happy are they who in the days of...
Promote and practice the principle of the oneness of humanity.
That was not the intention. I always promote ‘principles’ such as the oneness of humanity which I believe will be a major principle in establishing world peace but not by Baha’is as we are too small and insignificant to establish...
Of course. Most definitely. The goodness in humanity will establish world peace not the Baha’is. We are too small and insignificant. We only promote it but humanity are the ones who will achieve it.
I can’t say if or whether Buddhism or Hinduism should be changed. Thats up to them. In our teachings we are told changing and introducing new religious laws is God’s domain.
I’m sorry you think that. If my posts make you feel uncomfortable then I urge you to ‘ignore’ them and if you believe I’m preaching then I encourage you and others here to please report me.
My aim is the betterment of the world and I want the hate and wars to end. Thats all.
Even though it’s true what you say that we are diverse and do not have the same shoe size yet we all receive our light and warmth from the same sun and our rain from the same sky. Spiritually I think it’s the same that in reality we are one but that our diversity adds to the beauty and richness...
