But what if the supposed "manifestation/messenger" is a false teacher/false prophet? And even Baha'is have a few of those. Like Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. And I don't understand how Baha'is don't include Joseph Smith as a false prophet, since he claimed the angel Moroni spoke to him and gave him knowledge of where to find a book about God and how to translate it.It may be, that the possibility of an Atheist jumping that hurdle, is easier then a believer who has allowed the veil of Names or false teachers to interpose between them and the New Messenger?
But, as you well know, many Christians see Baha'u'llah as a false Christ. And since there are prophecies saying that in the end times there will be many people claiming to be The Christ, to not listen to them... that it will be very clear and obvious when he does return. It was not clear and obvious when Baha'u'llah came.
What is verifiable about it? That he claimed it?I would offer that the Baha'i Writings 100% offer there is verifiable proof and evidence for/of God.
Ah, that he was such a holy person and led such a holy life and gave such a profound message.That verifiable evidence and proof is the Person, the Life and the Message of the Messengers given from God.
And this is the problem... Baha'u'llah is his own proof that his claims are true?I couldn't care less what some self-proclaimed 'messenger' says some god being told them.
But for a guy like me, I checked some of the stuff out. Did he fulfill all the prophesies from every major religion? Very questionable. You say "yes". I say, "Hmmm, I don't think so."Baha'u'llah has proved God to me and verified that proof with the evidence of His Person, His life and the Message He gave from God.
He says all the manifestations/messenger came from the same God? Hmmm, I don't think so. Baha'u'llah didn't even mention Krishna or Buddha. They got added later, and Baha'is now are still trying to make their case that Baha'u'llah is Kalki and Maitreya.
The Baha'i Faith isn't all that bad, but is it all that it's claimed to be? And one of the main claims is about the peace and unity between Baha'is. It is painfully obvious that some Baha'is can't get along and can't agree.
So, I'm doubling down on my one proof... Let the Baha'is show the world the love, the peace and the unity that they claim that their religion will bring.
