Somehow people all over the world have acquired prejudices which I believe are fuelling conflicts. Treaties and ceasefires don’t give lasting results. The problem today is relationships have broken down on all levels of society - race, religion, nations people and their own governments so I...
A world divided of course cannot solve these problems but when they unite then they will easily take care of dictators. Currently justice is being hijacked by the veto system which ends up supporting dictators. In a politically united world, war criminals and oppressors will have no ‘allies’...
The difference between the past and now is that it is practically possible with world intercommunications. The internet is one example of the world being virtually united. It matters to me that oppression and wars end. as I’ve stated before. The world will decide on these things not Baha’is...
A world commonwealth is not new? An end to war not substantive? A world auxiliary language, world citizenship and a world society governed by cooperation not confrontation. It’s the next stage in humanity’s evolution and is inevitable.
It’s a complex issue with many aspects and issues and will involve in depth consultation with their communities. If I already posted I apologise.

We can’t say that the Jews won’t accept Christ and other later Manifestations in the future and I believe they will. I can only speak for myself and after investigating the Manifestations of God and that I found their claims to be true.
I’m not sure what you mean by practical steps because this will be an initiative implemented by the governments and their people and it is up to them to formulate the steps to a peaceful world society. All we believe is that the world situation will become so unbearable that the governments of...
Humanism I believe may play a crucial role in world unity as we do not believe that Baha’is will establish peace but that things like the principle of oneness will do that and humanism may be the one to trigger such a peace.
I believe he is testing the waters for the inevitable introduction of gay marriage. If he doesn’t experience much or any backlash he will implement it much sooner. It’s one way to regain membership and credibility after all the sexual abuse cases as well as appease the priests and bishops. It’s...
How many followers initially did any major religion have yet they all have numbers in the billions now? The world will eventually come to the realisation that prejudices need to be dealt with by promoting humanity’s oneness. Do you have a better way to tackle prejudice?
The ‘good logical point’ is the elimination of prejudices which are the cause of wars. People demonise each others race, religion and countries and the media as well and this only fuels conflicts and hatreds. I believe education is the only effective way to stop wars and establish peace.
No it’s not. It’s why the oneness of mankind needs to be taught in all schools to create a peaceful world. If you can’t see that then look at what Hamas teach their children and the results. It’s not about any religion but accepting all humanity as equals. Prejudice is a worldwide problem that...
Acceptance of the principle of the oneness of humanity is a precursor to the establishment of a world commonwealth and world citizenship which will give birth to a new world civilisation. It will signal an end of war and the beginning of universal peace. This is inevitable as technology has...
I disagree. It is the followers of each religion that have created the division and disunity by not accepting the subsequent Manifestation foretold in their own holy books. For example had Jews accepted Jesus as foretold in the Torah and Christians accepted Muhammad as prophesied in the Bible...
I think you missed the point. Was speaking in another post about those who try and turn Baha’is against one another trying to form another Baha’i sect not gays. Gays are free to live their life and no Bahai interferes with them. But if they wish to have same sex marriage then they must find it...
It’s like
It’s like any social group. Even on this forum there is order. One cannot do as one pleases. There are limits and boundaries. Continual breach of the rules will result in being banned hopefully teaching the person to act with civility. Then they are welcomed back in. If someone...
