Baha'u'llah never claimed to be Jesus Christ. He claimed to be the return of the Spirit of God.Trailblazer, if I understand you rightly, you are claiming Baha'u'llah to be Christ.
“O kings of Christendom! Heard ye not the saying of Jesus, the Spirit of God, “I go away, and come again unto you”? Wherefore, then, did ye fail, when He did come again unto you in the clouds of heaven, to draw nigh unto Him, that ye might behold His face, and be of them that attained His Presence? In another passage He saith: “When He, the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth.”
(Gleanings From the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 246)
“We, in truth, have sent Him Whom We aided with the Holy Spirit (Jesus Christ) that He may announce unto you this Light that hath shone forth from the horizon of the will of your Lord, the Most Exalted, the All-Glorious, and Whose signs have been revealed in the West. Set your faces towards Him (Bahá’u’lláh) on this Day which God hath exalted above all other days, and whereon the All-Merciful hath shed the splendour of His effulgent glory upon all who are in heaven and all who are on earth.” (Proclamation of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 18)
“This is, truly, that which the Spirit of God (Jesus Christ) hath announced, when He came with truth unto you, He with Whom the Jewish doctors disputed, till at last they perpetrated what hath made the Holy Spirit to lament, and the tears of them that have near access to God to flow….”
(Proclamation of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 19)
“The Word which the Son concealed is made manifest. It hath been sent down in the form of the human temple in this day. Blessed be the Lord Who is the Father! He, verily, is come unto the nations in His most great majesty.” (Proclamation of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 84-85)
“Ye make mention of Me, and know Me not. Ye call upon Me, and are heedless of My Revelation…. O people of the Gospel! They who were not in the Kingdom have now entered it, whilst We behold you, in this day, tarrying at the gate. Rend the veils asunder by the power of your Lord, the Almighty, the All-Bounteous, and enter, then, in My name My Kingdom. Thus biddeth you He Who desireth for you everlasting life…”
“WE, verily, have come for your sakes, and have borne the misfortunes of the world for your salvation. Flee ye the One Who hath sacrificed His life that ye may be quickened? Fear God, O followers of the Spirit (Jesus), and walk not in the footsteps of every divine that hath gone far astray… Open the doors of your hearts. He Who is the Spirit (Jesus) verily, standeth before them.”
Baha'u'llah says WE because He is referring to Himself and Jesus Christ. Both of them have borne the misfortunes of the world for our salvation.
Baha'u'llah did not teach me anything. I taught myself by reading what He wrote.You're doing that for him. And he must have taught you to follow his teaching.
Yes, you are right. Jesus was a Comforter because He brought the Holy Spirit from God, which comforts us...If I understand you, you're saying the "another Comforter" Jesus said would be given to His disciples is Baha'ullah.
Am I right?
Baha'u'llah was another Comforter because He brought the Holy Spirit from God, which comforts us...
The Comforter is the Holy Spirit but the Comforter is a 'title' for the man who brought the Holy Spirit from God.The "another Comforter" Jesus said would be with the disciples forever. Baha'u'llah died.
And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter, that He may be with you forever, (John 14:16)
The Holy Spirit will be with the disciples forever.
The Comforter and the Spirit of truth are titles that refer to the same person who brought the Holy Spirit from God.This Spirit of truth Jesus said would be with the disciples forever. And the Apostle John also said the truth would be with the
Christian believers forever.
For the sake of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever: (2 John 2)
I believe that person was Baha'u'llah.
John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
John 16:12-14 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
