    Baha'i Apologetics Anyone?

    Essentially, how Buddhists may or may not argue against looking at Buddhism from a Baha'i cosmologic point of view, does not upset me at all. They are welcome to their opinion or viewpoint, as long as I am welcome to mine. Even Buddhists cannot agree on what Buddha intended as the original...

    Baha'i Apologetics Anyone?

    As to material proofs I tend to agree. The mouse pushing the moon should be palpably evidential. As to things which are not material either in words or evidence - things of spiritual nature - the distinction is meaningless. I'm sure you realize that. As to the claim to be the Mitreya, I...

    John 19 (the crusifxion of Jesus)

    It was routine to break the victims legs, but broken legs won't kill by themselves--they heal. Breaking the legs made the victim smother quicker, but it was still a twelve to 48 hour process even with the legs broken. A pierced lung is much more quickly fatal. He arose on 'the thid day', not...

    Was Mary Magdalene a Prostitute

    Mary, mother of Jesus was from Bethlehem. The Magdalene, was from Magdala, and by all tradition was not of the same generation as Mary of Bethlehem. Therefore thereis no textual or traditional basis for thinking them the same person. Now was Peteer the same person as Barrabas? Quite...

    Baha'i Apologetics Anyone?

    It is far beyond Bruce's grasp or mine to get you to interpret anything. As to the claim. The actual wording is this: " Having surrendered unreservedly to God’s summons, He was equally in no doubt about the role which He had been called upon to play in human history. As the Manifestation of...

    Baha'i Apologetics Anyone?

    "It is simple logic that if a statement or belief is disputed to the extent that it requires an actual defense, rather than simply being re-taught, it is because such a belief is inherently illogical or flawed, or both." Define 're-taght'and set some kind of demarcation between 're-taught' and...

    Baha'i Apologetics Anyone?

    I'm with Bruce here. You've committed a logical gloss here.:yes: Please note that all religions may be from God or not, but all religions are IMPERFECT reflections of God because men are men, not God. Regards, Scott

    What's wrong with this picture?

    Ice maybe H2O, but it forms crystals which neither liquid water nor water vapor does. Not quite so clever as it is half-baked. Regards, Scott

    The meaning of Islam

    One might define 'good' as health can one not? Health can have no meaning without it's counterpart. If one's spiritual state can be seen as benign, thren the spiritual state must be capable of malignity as well. Therefore spiritual illness must be part of the spectrom of spiritual states...

    Baha'i Apologetics Anyone?

    Apologetics is a school of rhetorical logic, to offer 're-interpretation' is exactly what needs to be done. Regards, Scott

    Baha'i Apologetics Anyone?

    The question makes no sense. There is no claim to finality in Baha`u'llah's revelation. To make such a claim would would be contrary to His teachings and the will of God. Shighi Effendi, summarizes it well: "THE Revelation proclaimed by Baha'u'llah, His followers believe, is divine in...

    Baha'i Apologetics Anyone?

    The problem with looking for personal interpretations isthat such interpretations are not in anyway authoritative. If you ever want to know my personal opinion, please ask. I deal in bulk at the deepest of discounts. "If you want three opinions on anything, just ask two rabbis." Jewish...

    The meaning of Islam

    God's Revelation is eternal. Being eternal makes it ultimately, beyond our comprehension; therefore God has always revealed to us what we can understand and we always re in need of future revelation. Therefore, there will always be another Messenger and no Prophet is the final Prophet. Or...
