    The purposeful vagueness of scriptures.

    Everyone has their own measurement on what would constitute for them that God exists. What do you think would be something that could convince you God exists.

    Is Christianity the religion of idolatry?

    We do not have priests or living interpreters.

    The purposeful vagueness of scriptures.

    Definitely we should be open minded and research without bias or prejudice. If something works or is a solution we should accept it and if it does not we should reject the same.

    Is Christianity the religion of idolatry?

    The problems arise when interpretations revolve around causing harm to others accompanied with idolising of the interpreters. A concoction for terrorism.

    The purposeful vagueness of scriptures.

    We are all dependent. Without your internet provider you cannot post on this forum. And you depend on the farmer for food, the supermarket to stock and sell products and money to buy things. God says through the Prophets to love not kill. So it is man following his own ways which leads to wars...

    The purposeful vagueness of scriptures.

    That’s your opinion. I choose to differ.

    The purposeful vagueness of scriptures.

    I agree that dictators and priests and popes have caused hatred, wars and prejudices but that is because they have not obeyed the laws of the Prophets which teach love and unity of all human beings. I believe in the independent investigation of truth, that is, to look with an unbiased mind using...

    Christianity vs Islam

    The term Son of God is a title which any believer can attain. John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name God is a Spirit John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in...

    The purposeful vagueness of scriptures.

    True, no man knows the day or hour until it arrives. And when it arrived then we knew.

    Did “Jesus” raise the dead?

    Jesus was from God and His mission was to bring people near to God. So to raise a person from the death of unbelief to the life of faith is basically what raising the dead means. Otherwise it is meaningless.

    Should the oneness of humanity be taught in all schools worldwide

    The concept of oneness does matter very much in light of the current day situation where relationships between races, religions and nations have broken down in many cases into wars. Russia vs Ukraine = human beings killing equal human beings in real terms. The national terms are delusional...

    What do you get from being a believer?

    As a believer I now know God loves me, only I don’t know why He has been so kind to me. He has given me inner peace, contentment, joy and happiness on a minute to minute basis. I often experience bliss and ecstasy. I am surrounded by beautiful people. I never pray to God asking for anything as...

    Who is Jesus?

    In my opinion, Jesus today as far as I’m concerned personally has become a form of personality cult worship. Jesus would never have approved of this. All He asked us to do was love one another not worship Him.

    What do you get from being atheist?

    I strongly disagree on grounds that not believing in a God deprives a person and society of the life giving waters of the teachings of God for any particular age. Take this age for instance. We live at a time of deep division and disunity between the races, religions and nations even to the...

    The purposeful vagueness of scriptures.

    Here, Baha’u’llah, Who we Baha’is believe to be the latest Messenger from God, has written about interpretation and speaks about both literal and symbolic interpretations as well as those ‘only known to God’. The purpose of interpretation is this: that none become deprived of that which is...

    The purposeful vagueness of scriptures.

    I agree fully that we each must investigate for ourselves but that the true meaning is known only to God. interpretation is what has divided great religions like Christianity into over 40,000 sects. And scholars have divided Islam.These sects moreover have gone to war with one another as they...

    Down with Divorce

    And what about the children? Why should their lives be destabilised by fixed term marriages? Children need parents on a more permanent basis. I fully agree that divorce should not be granted lightly especially if children are involved as it can do psychological damage to the children and does...

    Should the oneness of humanity be taught in all schools worldwide

    The proof that it is not a facade is the existence of a world community comprised of a cross section of the human race from every religion, race and nation who are united working together under world governance now for over 60 years. So it’s not just empty words but an actual world community...

    Questions for God

    And how am I supposed to do that when I possess a finite limited and error prone mind? God I believe is the Unknowable Essence so beyond the attributes of God I don’t know anymore. It’s like asking the painting to describe the innermost workings of the painter which is outside my reality and...

    The purposeful vagueness of scriptures.

    Great topic. I might add my understanding but that’s all it is. I believe the Holy Books are all basically spiritual books and are to be read and understood with a certain degree of spiritual aptitude which is dependent on purity of heart not worldly learning. Reading these Books this way has...
