    The Tree of Life

    From my own Bahai interpretation, the tree of life is the revelation of God, the eternal tree with many twigs (messengers). Go to this tree, the eternal covenant, revelations of the most high that will never end, and you will live even though you die. But the Bab is also called the personified...

    Corruption “in the name of Jesus”!

    If their is no gospel of Jesus, there never was one. Why does God send the Messiah with a book, but the book was never written down like you claim? Instead God allows people to write a false book in the name of Him who is the supreme ruler over all there was is and will be, 40 years after Jesus...

    God VS Evil

    For some people medicin is evil, should God destroy it? I believe that there is no evil and everything in life ("good and bad") is actually good for us because God is the source of only good. We have no authority to declare anything to be evil, because we are too stupid. Let God decide what is...

    End of Days - Is the Islamic Mahdi the Bible's Anti Christ?

    There is also an antichrist in islamic theology. Who is he? A good christian guy who will oppose the mahdi? This is getting wierd if you know that islam is also expecting an anti christ, a guy who wont have any good qualities from any religions view. If the mahdi opposes such a man, the mahdi...

    Is there any other religion other than Islam that forbids alcohol?

    Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy. (NAS, Romans 13:13)

    Would the Baha'i faith be good for me?

    Reciting Allahu Abha 95 times when sitting was always a mantra meditation for me. So I can say that Bahaullah has revealed a meditation technique, a very powerful one. I dont know why most Bahais dont see it.

    Is Feline of the names of God in the Koran ?????

    The bad people planned bad plans and God plans a good plan and God plans better. That is the obvious meaning and I dont know why you still hatin.

    Baha'ullah: Non-Baha'is Are ********

    Finally I can agree with your trabslation. Every Bahai knows that we should not be in touch with covenant breakers. There is a ruhi book about it, we are not trying to hide the whole covenant breaker thing. But is has nothing to to with non Bahais or apostates. The Bahaullah quote is probably...

    Baha'ullah: Non-Baha'is Are ********

    I dont know what you are talking about. Shoghi Effendi did clearly say that Bahai apostates are simply treated like other non Bahais. People who have withdrawn from the Cause because they no longer feel that they can support its Teachings and Institutions sincerely, are not Covenant-breakers --...

    Origins of the Quran

    Many of the Quran stories are also in the Bible. (But there are also some good stories in it, that are not in the Bible) So from a unbeliever POV Muhammad copied the Bible stories. From a believer POV God reminded us and rewrote and corrected some stories of the Bible and gave a new spin to them.

    Baha'ullah: Non-Baha'is Are ********

    And what happens in Iran, when a muslim becomes Bahai? Some of my wifes family hate my wife for being Bahai and dont talk to her. The rest is really ashamed, and wants her to keep silent about it. It is a Bahai law to respect someones decision to leave the Faith, maybe not all Bahais are...

    Why This, and Not That?

    1. The same God appeared multiple times in history, to teach mankind about Himself, and how to behave. The last time in the 19th century in Bahaullah but there will be more. 2. After being an atheist I suddenly felt that the common holy scriptures are all true and from the same God. 3. I dont...

    Baha'ullah: Non-Baha'is Are ********

    Sry but claiming that Bahais are spys and a political party is nonsense. And my knowledge about the situation in Iran does not come from American propaganda. I met many persian Bahais and all of them fled from persecution. Some got imprisoned, some have relatives who were murdered, some got...

    Baha'ullah: Non-Baha'is Are ********

    Imo you can read it both ways. "Those are" is present tense. Also I dont think, that they are good creatures, if they deserve eternall hell. They had to be very bad creatures before death, to deserve eternall fire after death.

    Baha'ullah: Non-Baha'is Are ********

    Meant sura 98. It does not specify at all. It calls all unbelievers worst of creatures. But nevermind, I dont want to diss the Quran here, just wanted to show that context is important. I further dont think that a follower of Khomeini may complain about torment verses. Torture was his...

    Baha'ullah: Non-Baha'is Are ********

    Most westeners I know believe in what you said. Most religions were created to replace the previous one. You cant be a christian if you belief in Muhammad. Bahais believe that the world government will some day choose the Bahai faith as official world religon. Well this is really complicated...

    Baha'ullah: Non-Baha'is Are ********

    If you read it like that and disagree just dont become Bahai then. But afaik Bahaullah said, that who denies this grace shall ask his mother of his status. Whats your point? The God calls unbelievers "worst of creatures" in the Quran so even worse than ********. You can make every sentence...

    Baha'ullah: Non-Baha'is Are ********

    As far as I know, muslims await the day, when Allah comes from heaven in a cloud to judge people. We Bahais say that He already did that. It is normal that this judgement wont be positiv for everyone. So if Bahaullah called some people, (not all non Bahais imo (what you posted contains an...

    Baha'ullah: Non-Baha'is Are ********

    Thank you mojtaba, In my opinion, what God says is true, and He has the right to make any metaphor, or even insult people, who deserve it. You surely are aware of that, having read the glorious Quran. If you want a Bahai explanation of these verses, it was discussed at bahaiforums. I have...

    Jesus sacrifice is completely pointless

    If you find it illogical that through Christs death, somekind of supernatural power was released that took away our sins, there is another meaning to the sacrifice that is not illogical at all. Jesus came and brought a message to us. He could not give us the message without being killed. This...
