And is there evidence that the Baha'i Faith and their prophet are not true? For them to be true, then Jesus and Muhammad have to be manifestations of God and at least Jesus and Baha'u'llah have to be considered as being the Messiah to the Jews.
They dont have to be always true to be connecting to something which is beyond human capability. The challenge from a human perspective is realizing that the written word, by its nature is going to be
bringing down something which is beyond human capability. If they didn't
bring it down it would look like:

So people need to be receptive to these things. They need to be capable and willing to as they say in Isalm, see the unseen. Not everyone can do it, and most people who do, *feel* it. That's what seeing the unseen means. Feeling is not something that is explainable. I can't give you a recipe for reading scripture. And this is why so many religious people say, "Just read it." And if a person is still not feeling it, they say, "read it again."
Naturally this is irritating for the person being told to read, and read again. But that's the way it is. Gratefully, there's a lot of different religions out there. So there's many different ways to participate in something holy if, IF, that's what a person wants. If they prefer to identify as worm food. They can do that too. It's a modern world, people can ID themselves as whatever they want. And I'm guessing their wish will be granted. Assuming they are good people.
I think the problem is, IF a person wants something holy, AND they were born into Christian community, AND, they, for whatever reason choose to pursue it intellectually.. maybe its because they are a hyper-literal realist and cannot
feel things the way others do. Or for some reason they feel compelled to investigate Christianity academically, that automatically severes the emotional attachment at the heart od Christianity and the person almost inevitably loses faith. Then the person becomes angry and irritated. They want it, but they lost it, and they can't figure out how to get it back. So they compensate in several different ways.
After this, several things could happen, almost none of them are good. There's an anger that I think develops over lost time and broken promises. There's a distancing of friendships, and family members that could happen. The religion becomes the enemy. It's to blame for everything. Sometimes, I've heard people report that someone dies, and they literally expect Jesus to save them. Or one person told me that their loved one, literally wouldn't take medication, and died. And when the person dies, this triggers a lot resentment, and anger. And they feel foolish for ever believing. Again, it;s not their fault, religion caused all of it. A lot of things can happen to Christians. it's a beautiful religion, but... sadly, it can do some damage.
Then the person, the American partners up with others like them, they feel like politically things are very wrong. It's easy to blame those Christians. Those believers. They're the evil ones. And what's being produced is Christianity in reverse. It's still the same extreme good/bad demonization. Just flipped. And all the same preaching happens, and all the same demonization happens. And they're getting what they wanted from Christianity. Theyre getting that feeling back.
So, there's something specific going on with Christianity, that produces extremes. Extremes in a lot of areas. And the backlash is extreme too. But it's still the same religion for the ex-Chrisian Atheist. And they will not giv up that feeling again. They will cling and kick and scream ( virtually, not really ) against anything, anything that challenges their atheism. This prohibits giving a single inch the ANY of the messangers TB is talking about. Not even the beginning little inkling of a shred of a try.
All of these texts from the messengers that TB is talking about, they all kind of are bringing down something special. I personally attach to the jewish scripture. I really love it. Because of the way I love it, I can appreciate that other people can appreciate their scripture in that similar way too. But it's all a feeling, in my view. In Judaism there IS an intellectual side, but there's a very step learning curve. I understand there are other intellectual paths in Hinduism, but that's beyond me.
So, thats my understanding of what's happening with Bahai evidence for God. I think they make a good strong case for God. At the same time, I totally expect a good protion of people won't, as I say,
feel it, from reading their scripture. And definitely the ex-Christian atheist. They need a void. Nothing will satisfy them. It's because their god is void. And that's what voids do. it's fine. until they go predator-mode on innocent religious people.
