This OP is for All people of all Faiths that believe in God.
What evidence do you have of God?
What logic and reasons have you used in determining the proofs and truths you subsequently embraced from the examination of that evidence?
The purpose of this OP needs to be embraced if you are to...
I've seen a lot of posts by people who at first glance seem to be completely anti-religion and anti-theist, or at least agnostic atheist, only to find out from their religious bio that they self-identify as Buddhist instead.
I know there is some underlying spirituality in Buddhism, such as...
This OP is to finalise once and for all what is Evidence of God. After this OP there will be no need for anyone to demand evidence, as it will have been provided.
This OP is applicable to all Faiths Moses and Torah, Jesus New Testament, Muhammad Koran, etc), but I will use what has been offered...
I see all the Messengers of God have had to suffer greatly. This OP is about all the Messengers and Prophets that have come from God.
I see their suffering was for us and our neglect of their Messages brings great sadness upon all humanity. They accepted all that suffering, and still do, so we...
I see we need to stay away from political threads. The guidance on this topic is ample, the wisdom beyond our comprehension.
This is but one reference.

May you help us all progress from the Concourse on high.
Ya Baha'ul Abha Kevin, God speed through all the worlds of God.
It is a question that has been asked of me, so I start with my answer. It could be put in many ways.
I always consider the roots of faith. I see that the Prophets and Messengers are from God and are the source of Oneness, yet those Messages are also the sword that divides.
Then I consider that...
That is what I see happening.
The world events are fully reflecting both the promise of a United Future and the destruction of an old dysfunctional Old World Order.
So when will we get there, the Baha'i Universal House of Justice offered this in the 1985 Peace Message.
"Whether peace is to...
This thread is an attempt to explain what convinced me that my independent faith, Exaltism, is reality. This might get long...
Exaltism as a word simply means an adherence to raise the status of things. Based on its pure etymology there shouldn't be much more to that. There is, however. We need...
Oh boy. To answer this question for myself...
Almost everybody in real life knows me as a pantheist. And the reason why I describe myself as a pantheist is because calling myself that is easier than explaining Exaltism, Syntheism, etc. "I am a pantheist and believe nature is synonymous with...
Any argument a person of faith chooses to dissprove a True Messenger of God, is just as valid against their chosen Messenger.
So is it not then logical that we could then prove the Messengers by comparing the Attibutes?
Then in that process, those that are false, will start to become obvious...
When I talk to Christians they seem to have much of the same talking points, that is apologetics. If God exists why is there evil? To allow free will. I then argue from that point that there is no free will in Heaven, if there is no evil in Heaven. I digress. Most Christians seem to be equipped...
I understand faith is a central aspect of Christianity and I feel it is a top priority in my own life. I can believe we are all god's children, Jesus was a wise teacher and that rewards wait for those who remain righteous in the face of adversity. However, to believe that Mary, or anyone else...
The 2021 Census was completed by over 90% of the population and thus returned useful data.
Religion was interesting.
I see this is a trend that was foretold, but there will come a time when people realise that Faith is the only way to help humanity.
What are your thoughts?

Most people would say that faith and religion go hand in hand. That, if your faith is Catholicism, your religion is also Catholic. However, it is also known that many Catholics actively go against Catholic teachings as well. Half of all Catholics are pro-choice and half of those Catholics...
This is a topic that many see as challenging.
Yet I now see it is an intrinsic part of all God given Religions. It is about Justice for the actions we take as individuals and collectively as Nations.
It seems to be about cause and effect, or neglect of the Cause becomes the calamities we face...
A DEBATE IS WELCOMED!!!
Must I feel the shame of my Religious Beliefs if there are atheists? No,
human rights defend my beliefs. ``Whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, the
Son of Man will be ashamed of them'' Luke 9:26. And the atheists are not hiding their
atheism from the scientific...
I thought this would be pertinent to teaching here.
O Ye Sons of Spirit!
Ye are My treasury, for in you I have treasured the pearls of My mysteries and the gems of My knowledge. Guard them from the strangers amidst My servants and from the ungodly amongst My people.
