    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    Part of it is just bad timing. He proclaimed himself about the same time as Baha'u'llah. For each, they've got to renounce the other as false. And they probably use similar reasons to show how the other guy is a fraud.

    Why Jesus did not Rule the first time, but will Rule the second time?

    That's a real good article... for Baha'is. It was written by a Baha'i. Kobina Amissah Fynn[1] is a Ghanaian Bahá’í who has served as an Auxiliary Board member and Continental Counselor for Africa. That's the problem... The article goes through the Baha'i interpretation of what "Woe" means...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    I don't know how many times that Baha'is have said that their prophet is the return of Christ. And then they'd add, "Not Jesus himself, but Baha'u'llah is the return of the spirit of Christ." Whatever, it is in the place and authority that Christians believe was to be Jesus himself. TB and...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    The Baha'is have several "changing" of the guard... Abraham, Moses, Saleh, Hud, Krishna, Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad, and then their two guys. But it was never a "changing" of the guard. What did Abraham bring the Moses changed? What did anything Abraham, Moses and even Jesus have to do with...

    Why Jesus did not Rule the first time, but will Rule the second time?

    Still waiting. I've asked about this context about the second and third Woe now on two different threads. Are there no Baha'is that want to try and show how the context fits in with being about the Bab and Baha'u'llah?

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    Matthew 24:4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    Yes, words have different meanings for Baha'is. Clouds are veils... isn't too bad. But what does every eye will see him mean? That every eye won't see him? Because he's in Persia and then ends up in a prison in Akka? They are close or have a reasonable interpretation on some things... but not on...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    It's too easy for a Baha'i to deny anything in the Gospels or in the rest of the NT, since it was all written by the followers of Jesus, not Jesus himself. So, any verse that says it is quoting Jesus, is still that writer saying that it is what Jesus said. But then the inconsistency... this...

    Why Jesus did not Rule the first time, but will Rule the second time?

    And what might that explanation be? Can you post a link to the quote? The only thing I've ever seen is from Abdul Baha. “The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.”[20] The first woe was the advent of the Apostle of God, Muḥammad the son of ‘Abdu’lláh, peace be upon Him...

    Hmmm? Some verses have a "plain" meaning? Okay Baha'is, this sounds pretty plain.

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    What's wrong with TB taking the Gospel of John literally? Like where it says, John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    Yes, in the Baha'i way of seeing things... that is what you believe is true. And why did you leave Adam, Saleh and Hud out? And were there others? Some to the people in East Asia... Some to people in Africa... some to the rest of the people in all the other places on Earth. Apparently Baha'is...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    It's kind of like Baha'is have to deny that they are denying what it says about Jesus. If the Baha'i "progression" is how God does things, then every person Baha'is claim that were manifestations should have made it clear.... "I am a manifestation from God. Here are the new rules for this day...

    Why Jesus did not Rule the first time, but will Rule the second time?

    Yes, so we know what happened in history, and we know what the prophecies say about what happens during the second and third "Woes". Can Baha'is make it fit?

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    There's a huge difference between how Baha'is have "faith" in Jesus, and what they believe about Jesus and how Born Again Christians see Jesus. Baha'is don't believe or practice those things, because they believe they are false beliefs.

    Why Jesus did not Rule the first time, but will Rule the second time?

    Oh my God! Then why do Baha'is believe in the virgin birth? Is that "normal" to have no need of a father? Where'd the second set of genes come from? Why isn't that story also a metaphor or a fabrication? Since it was only told in two of the Gospel stories, and they both differed, and were told...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    But, according to Born Again Christians, and again, what it does say in Paul's epistles, a person is saved through faith and not by anything they do in anyway to try and earn their way into heaven by their own good deeds. Which it says are never and can never be good enough. Which is why it says...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    It is a little awkward, but that's what I believe the NT is saying. It is a person's faith and believe that Jesus is Lord that saves them. However, that belief and faith in him means that they follow his teachings. Like what it says in James that a person needs to show his faith by their...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    If the Born Again Christians are right then you and a lot of us are doing things and believing things that are unhealthy for our spirit. If we don't believe like them, then we are lost and in sin. The Baha'i Faith is very much a religion of "works". But those Christians teach that salvation...

    True and False Prophets - Just and Honest Determination

    I think it's more like... Christians think they know God and Jesus better than Muslims and Baha'is. And Muslims and Baha'is have a problem with some of the beliefs held by some Christians, mainly the one about the Trinity. But they all believe it is God that is informing them about the things...
