    Is progressive revelation believable?

    Thanks. This is what I was trying to explain to Left Coast.

    Is progressive revelation believable?

    This is not about allowing other men to tell you what to think, which the Prophets / Messengers where not doing anyway. Matter of fact Baha'u'llah in this time and age tells humanity that we all have the responsibility of thinking for ourselves. These are Manifestations, rare individuals that...

    Is progressive revelation believable?

    Only when the new Manifestation is sent does He has the authority to officially interpret the revelation of old.

    Is progressive revelation believable?

    Not if that Prophet comes with proofs of His mission.

    Is progressive revelation believable?

    You're a divine "manifestation" eh, prove it. 1. What prophecies of the revelations of old have you fulfilled? 2. What are the brand new social teachings that you bring to humanity / the world without repeating what the current Manifestation's words? 3. Where is the biography of your life and...

    Is progressive revelation believable?

    "they want to protect their own beliefs and understanding of their religion or worldview". That's basically tribalism which is the problem that the world have right now. We have to learn to find truths where ever they are.

    Is progressive revelation believable?

    Baha'u'llah does say that the human being has the potential to display all the names and attributes of God at the highest level, so if you want to know God the best thing to do is to know the human being.

    Is progressive revelation believable?

    "And we need the Baha'u'llah to tell us that"? Apparently we do. We still have racism, war, pollution, separation of city, state and countries. I would think that it would be good if a Manifestation of God have to let us know that the human species is one family.

    Is progressive revelation believable?

    You know, I think what you're really asking me is, what is Baha'u'llah's biography. It would be unrealistic of me to try and write Baha'u'llah's whole biography on this forum, that would be "waaaaaaayyyyy too long". I can give you an introduction biography of Baha'u'llah: Bahá’u’lláh | What...

    Is progressive revelation believable?

    "Divine revelation continued up to and including the Baha'u'llah, and no new stuff for 1,000 years". Well for the Abrahamic religions, didn't they come 1000 years apart from one another? "No absolute truth; all truth is relative". Correct. We are an ever advancing civilization, what was true...

    Is progressive revelation believable?

    "And if they say that the Mahdi has not arrived, I trust them to know best. Just like I trust you to know best about Baha'u'llah, and we Jews know best about Moshiach. Each group has their own wheelhouse... so to speak". But that's falling into tribalism which is affecting the world negatively...

    Is progressive revelation believable?

    And that's what is keeping them from recognizing their prophesied Mahdi aka the Bab.

    Is progressive revelation believable?

    I would like to say first that, Be careful about what you're asking. If you're asking me to preach to you then that's not what I'm going to do. Preaching is something that was done in the times of old. You have to understand that in this time and age we all have a mind and we all have the...

    Is progressive revelation believable?

    Yes I am sure. The spiritual teachings are eternal. But the social teachings change from age to age.

    Is progressive revelation believable?

    Thanks.

    Is progressive revelation believable?

    Interesting. So what page is that in the Kitáb-i-íqán?

    Is progressive revelation believable?

    The only fundamental difference with Jesus Christ and Prophet Muhammad is the social teachings of their revelation in which it was the time and place that is was revealed in.
  18. od19g6

    Is progressive revelation believable?

    It's because of both of the life and teachings of the Prophet / Messenger / Manifestation of God that you get the total prospective of proofs and evidences of their mission. They walk the walk as well as talk the talk. This is where independent investigation of truths comes into play...

    Is progressive revelation believable?

    I believe that one of the main reasons why some people of different faiths can't recognize progressive revelation is because of tribalism. It's about home team with people weather that be team christian or team islam. What people have to realize is that this is not about which team or tribe that...
