Baha'i and Islamic concepts of Prophets - Similar or irreconcilably different?

Okay. If I am to paraphrase, you don’t claim those writings are not acceptable but the guy is misrepresenting them. Please correct me.

I don't know because I am not familiar with those sources that were cited, so they might not be what Baha'u'llah wrote, bnut they are highly suspicious because Baha'u'llah never claimed to God or the Creator of all things.

I do not think we can know unless McEoin cited the source of his quotes, but even if he did that, it he cited Tablets that are not official translations that are in the Baha'i Reference Library online, how can we know if what he cited is actually what Baha'u'llah wrote or if it has been translated correctly?

Not to worry. Have a good day, and very best regards.

The thing is sis, you dont know if the writings cited by whoever this is is real or not, you dont know anything about them, your comment is "might not be what Bahaullah wrote", but you just reject them all because its your belief that you are saying is the standard. That means your yard stick is your belief, and even if Bahaullah wrote a book you would reject it because it is against the belief.

Tell me sis. Have you read all of Bahaullahs writings, if not and you have read some of them, can you name the ones you have read fully?? Just honestly I mean.

No, my yardstick is not my belief, my yardstick is what I have read of what Baha'u'llah wrote, so if I see other writings that run completely contrary to what I have read that is in the Baha'i Reference Library, I know that those writings cannot have come from the same person. That is simple logic.

No, I have not read all the Writings of Baha'u'llah in full. Here are the ones I have read:

Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh Revealed after the Kitáb-i-Aqdas — View on the new Baha’i Reference Library »

Epistle to the Son of the Wolf — View on the new Baha’i Reference Library »

Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh — View on the new Baha’i Reference Library »

The Hidden Words of Bahá'u'lláh — View on the new Baha’i Reference Library »

No, my yardstick is not my belief, my yardstick is what I have read of what Baha'u'llah wrote,

But you said you are not sure about those documents he presented but still you rejected without knowing anything. Thats the reason. It could all be false, no problem. But at least make that kind of statement after a small research at least and say it confidently after reading them all and confirming something.

Anyway, its your prerogative. Peace.
