I just accept that because there is nothing I can do about it, but I really don’t even want to know God’s nature because I do not need to know it.
Thats why it doesnt make sense.
I see no reason to trust bahaullah is right about gods attributes when he, himself, doesnt know the nature to which those attributes describe.
God cannot be defined because we can never know the nature of God. All we can know are some things about God, His Attributes.
Thats why the attributes are empty. They have to describe something that actually exists. The nature in and of itself defines the existence of god. When you know the nature, god comes into being because its personal. I
know thati s not what you believe; it make more sense to communicate with god on on one.
I know you cant do it; but, many people can. I see nor eason to say they are wrong just because I believe different.
Thats the difference between us (going by below)
If we are Baha’is, we just accept what Baha’u’llah revealed about God.
For me, the Writings of Baha’u’llah equal Truth because of how I think about them.
Im not a prophet or sacred book person. The Dharma (practice) defines how I life. The suttas/scripure does not. I mean, you can feel below god or limited to god. Christian faith actually puts man eye to eye to god in the name of a person who
he knows his fathers nature. I would not call him god nor a god-prophet because of it, but thats scripture.
God is described by Baha’u’llah and that is all I need to know about God. Any more I would not be able to understand.
We can trust anyone we want. That doesnt mean that trust makes something a fact. Its an opinion or belief.
We cannot do that with God because we cannot meet God.
Yes we can. Your belief says we cannot.
We all go about believing and living our beliefs differently. Even among Baha’is, we all think and process information differently For me, the Writings of Baha’u’llah equal Truth because of how I think about them.
I dont understand that. You would need to explain it in your words a bit deeper not Bahaullahs.
Baha’u’llah knew more than we can ever know, but we cannot understand how he knew or what He knew because we
I dont understand that. I never put people below me or worship people above me. We see eye to eye. Thats a true relationship with anyone god or not. Thats why jesus came to "dwell among the people." The purpose was to worship his father in his name not worship him (or bahaullah or anyone else) as if they know about the creator the rest of us dont know.
I do not believe we can have a personal relation with God directly because nobody has direct access to God.
People can believe they do if they want to, but I do not believe they really have access.
The first part is your belief. The last part, yes, they do have access despite what you believe. The thing is, do you accept it or tell them they are wrong.
I cannot say what God can do. I can only say what God chooses to do.
God chooses to only speak through Messengers (Prophets). We cannot override what God chooses to do because we are not omnipotent.
Huh? Know what god chooses to do but cant know what he can do? You know gods decisions but dont know if he has the ability to carry out those decisons?
God overrides our view by his being able to communicate with us not the other way around. Thats limiting god.
It is just too bad if people do not like what God chooses to do. If they don’t like it they can choose to be atheists.
Nope. Not too bad. Everyone benefits from god differently.
The thing is, do we accept it or call them out.
No one choses to be atheist. That makes no sense whatsoever.
Think about it. I never was raised in a religious family; never indoctrinated. Never heard of god until I was about seventeen. Did not know god only the person jesus. Then, at what thirty two I joined the catholic church.
I only knew what god is through jesus-the person. When I found out he pointed to god, I stoped going. Not because of catholicism but becuase you
need to know god exists before you believe in his prophets and manifestations.
If not, all the quotes and scripture in the world is all foreign language both literally (depending on the text and language translation) and spiritualy (depending on what one believes).
I never heard the word atheist until I came on RF.
So, where does this choice come from to be an atheist?
Wouldnt it make sense that I believe in god first before I can chose to not believe in him?
The logic is off.
I would like an explanation of this, though. People get kicked out of their homes others mad at god because of how they should have chosen right when they chose wrong. If bahaullah and god were of peace, I think the language would be different.
