Meh, another religion making claims about the universe it can't demonstrate to be true in my view.

 

[Paul65]

I would rather say the ultimate religion.

A bunch of 'inventions' that obviously will not work at all in real life.

It's one thing to have schematics, another thing entirely to have actual working prototypes.

 

[Paul65]

I thought this was a religious forum, so I don't understand the allusions to inventions.

Welcome to the forum.

On your website you said:

"Awareness of existence is a universal religion. Since all religions originated at different times, believing in the God of time automatically means believing in every God throughout time. Awareness of existence is the culmination of all religions. Ultimately, it no longer matters whether you are a Christian, Muslim, follower of Judaism, or Hinduism – all religions merge into the unity of one God, the God of time."

My religion, the Baha'i Faith, also teaches unity, and that all religions are one religion that is revealed at different times by the One True God.

“This is the changeless Faith of God, eternal in the past, eternal in the future. Let him that seeketh, attain it; and as to him that hath refused to seek it—verily, God is Self-Sufficient, above any need of His creatures.” Gleanings From the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 136​

As a Baha'i I believe that the Prophet Founder of the Baha'i Faith, Baha'u'llah, is the Promised One of all ages, so He to fulfilled the prophecies of all the religions of the past. In that way my religion is the culmination of all the previous religions, but my religion teaches that more religions will be revealed by God in the future, so I do not believe that my religion is the last religion.

You also said:

"God of time directs everything, that's why I was born as an ordinary human. Why now? Well, in the world, there are so many religions that God, through me, wants to establish one religion for the entire Earth. Now is the best time for this in the age of the internet."

I also believe that God wants to establish one religion since that is in the scriptures of my religion. I believe that Baha'u'llah was sent by God to unite all the religions into one common religion, that He was a Divine Physician.

“That which the Lord hath ordained as the sovereign remedy and mightiest instrument for the healing of all the world is the union of all its peoples in one universal Cause, one common Faith. This can in no wise be achieved except through the power of a skilled, an all-powerful and inspired Physician. This, verily, is the truth, and all else naught but error.” The Summons of the Lord of Hosts, p. 91​

Ah I wondered when Baha'i marketeers would show up claiming they accept *all* religions when the Baha'i teachings only accept nine major religions in my view.

It didn't take long, did it? And it did not take long for the anti-Baha'i marketeers to show up either.

Everyone has the internet so they can do their own research on the Baha'i Faith if they choose to, and come to their own conclusions.
Why can't you allow people to make their own choices?

Of course the Baha'is don't believe in 'every religion' that calls itself a religion.
We only believe in the religions that we believe were revealed by the true Messengers of God.

Why do you think putting all the information on the table prevents people making their own choice?

So qualify your statement with all 9 major religions or something suitable. That way people who believe all religions will not be deceived into joining the Baha'i faith under false pretenses in my opinion

 

[Paul65]

You wrote and expressed it very nicely. I'm just sorry that I don't know your religion. If you could, please provide me with a link to your faith; I'd be very interested to read about it. Regards, Paul.

Why do you think you need to put all the information on the table?
You are not putting information on the table. You are putting a your personal view of the information on the table.

Nobody is going to join the Baha'i Faith based upon what I say. If they want to know what I mean by religions they can ask me, but they can also find all that information on the internet.

If you are asking @Trailblazer the website is The Baháʼí Faith - Home

The best source to get general information on the Baha'i Faith is this website: The Baháʼí Faith - Home

However, there is much more information on the internet.

 

[Trailblazer]

If you are asking @Trailblazer the website is The Baháʼí Faith - Home

You just beat me to it by one minute.

 

[danieldemol]

Why do you think you need to put all the information on the table?

Way to dodge the question in my view. For reasons of transparency.

You are not putting information on the table. You are putting a your personal view of the information on the table.

Are you saying you disagree Baha'i only believe in 9 major religions?

Nobody is going to join the Baha'i Faith based upon what I say

You dont know that in my view.

. If they want to know what I mean by religions they can ask me, but they can also find all that information on the internet.

Many people jump before they look sadly in my opinion

Why is that your job?

We believe that there are 9 major religions, but that does not mean there are no other religions that are true.

You dont know that in my view.

Many people jump before they look sadly in my opinion

Of course I don't know that, but why would that be your responsibility if they did jump in before looking?

 

[danieldemol]

Why is that your job?

Well im not payed to do it but compassion suggests to me that i should save people from getting love bombed into joining a tribe based on what i see as misinformation only to have to leave under a barrage of ad-hominem and accusations of insincerity.

We believe that there are 9 major religions, but that does not mean there are no other religions that are true.

So do you regard the jain religion as true or the sikh religion? What religion outside the 9 do you regard as true?

Of course I don't know that, but why would that be your responsibility if they did jump in before looking?

Its their own responsibility, but peoples of compassion tend to do a bit for the irresponsible in my view.

Don't worry about that so much. I've had 'fanciful' thrown at me more than once for my own. Fanciful is a pleasant way of saying another is imaginative and full of **** both at once.

BTW, welcome to the forums.

 

[Paul65]

I don't know why you're so critical of him; every person should be respected regardless of their beliefs and religion. And as for the

Trailblazer​

, how do you know that I am not chosen by God?

 

[Trailblazer]

So do you regard the jain religion as true or the sikh religion? What religion outside the 9 do you regard as true?

Sorry, I do not know much about those religions and I don't know if there is an official Baha'i position on them, if there is one.
