All we don’t follow is the man made interpretations. Why should we follow that a priest says the Bible is literal? Hes human. He makes mistakes. I would feel much safer following what a Manifestation teaches than an ordinary person. We know the earth is 4.5 billion years old so the creation...
Baha’is have accepted their scriptures by accepting their own Promised One. By rejecting their Promised One, other religions are rejecting their own scriptures.
.a large multitude of people will arise against you, showing oppression, expressing contumely and derision, shunning your society...
For the purposes of this thread and that Baha’u’llah made no direct mention of the name of Buddha, He states in His Most Holy Book.
174. O people of the world! When the Mystic Dove will have winged its flight from its Sanctuary of Praise and sought its far-off goal, its hidden habitation...
Baha’u’llah says that to turn away from Abdul-Baha is to turn away from Him and God. The Covenant states Abdul Baha is infallible on all topics
and if something is unclear or not understood in this case Buddha, Abdul-Baha has full endorsement from Baha’u’llah Himself to interpret any of...
Buddhist teachings like the Dhammapada are very similar to our Hidden Words and we read from it in our Houses of Worship worldwide. Then there’s the Noble Eightfold Path, and the Five Precepts these all lead to spiritual enlightenment. The Beatitudes, the Ten Commandments and so on.
Baha’is...
All of the spiritual teachings of all religions complement one another and as they are eternal we can all follow them. As to the social laws they are suited for each age so these change over time. So we accept Buddha and His wonderful teachings such as the Noble Eightfold Path and the Five...
Then look it up. Anything as you well know only too well that Abdul-Baha states is the same as Baha’u’llah stating it as He is the appointed Interpreter.
Yes I have investigated the truth for myself and am happy with what I found. And I believe that my information regarding both a future Buddha and that Buddha did teach the oneness of God are true because the information came from the latest Revelation from God. As to Buddhist quotes you can do a...
Should a man wish to adorn himself with the ornaments of the earth, to wear its apparels, or partake of the benefits it can bestow, no harm can befall him, if he alloweth nothing whatever to intervene between him and God, for God hath ordained every good thing, whether created in the heavens or...
Hi Bahámut. My understanding is that Holy Days on which work should be suspended are related to events and anniversaries concerning the Manifestations of God. Abdul-Baha, although the Perfect Exemplar is not a Manifestation. So days commemorating His Ascension and the Day of the Covenant...
Not excluding the irreligious at all. Being at one with all people and accepting them as brothers basically means we get along enough not to put ourselves at the risk of going to war. You see the world today? Russia ‘respects’ America and America ‘respects’ inssmuch as they are civil to one...
People are free to believe whatever they wish. We were asked for our understanding of reincarnation and provided it with references or quotations from Baha’u’llah.
I won’t argue with you but I believe you to be grossly misinformed and not approaching the topics with an open mind. For starters Buddha prophesied a future Buddha. A Prophet prophesies. He may not have been called a prophet but He did perform prophetic functions. Next Buddha never denied God...
Never mind. In one of the World Books of Encyclopaedia Brittanica the Baha’i Faith was mentioned as the second most widespread religion in the world after Christianity. Some religions are just concentrated in certain areas but we are the most internationally spread second to Christianity. This...
