This is from Shoghi Effendi so you may or may not agree, but the majority of Baha'i will tend to see Shoghi Effendi as infallible with respect to Baha'i teachings.
He states;
'“The number nine, which in itself is the number of perfection, is considered by the Bahá’ís as sacred, because it is symbolic of the perfection of the Bahá’í Revelation which constitutes the ninth in the line of existing religions, the latest and fullest Revelation which mankind has ever known. The eighth is the religion of the Báb and the remaining seven are: Hinduism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, Islám, and the religion of the Sabaeans. These religions are not the only true religions that have appeared in the world but are the only ones still existing.'

I interpret this to mean that of the current religions only the ones listed above are recognised as true by Baha'i loyal to Shoghi Effendi

Im not sure if this was intended for me. In my view all people are entitled to a minimum level of respect which basically guarantees their human rights, however for me any respect beyond that must be earned.
Sufficient to say that I have more respect for religious people that are honest and transparent about the teachings of their religion even when it may cost them respect in the eyes of men than those who are prepared to tell marketing lies and/or half truths to attract converts.
Did you make that up yourself?Hello, interesting forum, I'm new here. Maybe to start, I'll send a link to my religion.
I used to have my own home-made religion but I am now much happier back with Christianity
How many people are in it or is it just you?
My religion had two people in it
Well, I say "my religion" but it belonged to the both of us

Hi Paul65, welcome to the forums. You have placed your thread in a debate subforum. Was this intentional? What is your intended goal for the thread you have created?
Welcome Paul.
This is titled Religious Forums, but it's more an everything forum. As for religion or philosophy, be prepared to show and defend your evidence and reasoning -- it will be questioned.

Which thread is finished?
Experience. If you seek a place where you can just post claims about your beliefs and not have them questioned by others, you're probably in the wrong place, and definitely in the wrong sub-forum.
Do you have an issue with having your religious claims questioned?
Welcome to the forum. Have fun and don't anyone too seriously...me included.Hello, interesting forum, I'm new here. Maybe to start, I'll send a link to my religion.
