I remember you acknowledge finally earlier that I was talking about your conversation skills when it comes to being online. A lot of times, our points are misinterpreted-all people's points-are misinterpreted because of how we express our points. For example, I can't remember the name at the moment, thought I shared a specific point with Bahai by how I phrased my words. I explained that for Bahai to make sense, at least to me, I would have to see it in this way
even though I see it totally different. I had to put a clause to make conversations and my position much more clear without sounding as if I'm stating a fact everyone else must agree with or not.
@Vinayaka mentioned about putting "in my opinion" or like words or rephrase how you express your words because sometimes we do not know if you are stating a fact or your personal opinion. It also comes across rude regardless of your intentions.
... in my opinion.
Jesus of Nazareth the giver of the 'New Testament' was indeed the Christ, annointed of God.
I did not say he was not (so this is your opinion?). I just said the Bab being "glory to god", Christ being "anointed one", and The Buddha being "enlightened" does not mean they are connected to each other by name.
They would need to be connected by practice and experience. They are not.
Their characteristics are differentiated positively by their lifestyle and teachings not by how they are called. Unless names are more important than one's character?
Think about it. If your name is Carlita just as mine, does that mean I am you and you are me?
Mirza Husayn-‘Ali, given the name Baha, was indeed Bahá’u’lláh (The Glory of God)
Yes, this is Bahai belief. I know this....
There names were their person, their character, their lives and their Word to us.
Yes, Christians, Bahai, Muslims, etc believe this. In my opinion, it does not make sense. I am not my name just because my name is a combination of my father's name and his relations to me. The physical name means nothing in and of itself.
If you want to relate to someone, you relate to them by their character-their life, their teachings, etc-not their name.
That's like my coming up to my girlfriend (if I had one) and she asks, "what do you love about me?" and I tell her after ten years of dating, "oh, your name."
"My name?"
"Yes, it's beautiful. It totally discribes who you are as a person."
"So, if I had a different name opposite of what I have now, you would not love me."
"Actually, no. Because your name defines you. So any other name isn't worthy of your character."
See the difference. You don't have to agree but do you see this from
my point of view?
With that I leave this topic with you, I need say no more.
If you don't care to understand me, just say so.
I can take belittlement but I hate it when I am trying to get my point accross and hoping you and others understand and I am cut off.
It is a HUGE pet peeve because of medical issues. It reminds me of talking with Deaf people. If you spoke to them and said "never mind" because they didn't catch what you said, that is completely rude. That is saying you don't want to give them the chance to ask for clarification because you made your statement and if they didn't hear it, then that's their fault.
It is completely rude to them culturally.
In America, it is rude period.
