You know that I can, but you will merely deny the evidence since you have none of your own.I didn't think you could substantiate your claims.

Baha'u'llah did perform miracles and He had a Book of Miracles that He did not want anyone to know about because He did not want to be believed in for His miracles. Baha'u'llah also offered to perform any miracle that the Muslims wanted Him to perform, but they never showed up because the deal was that they would believe He was who He claimed to be if He performed that miracle.Baha'u'llah didn't preform any miracles, resurrect anyone from the dead nor did he return from the dead. Only people who aren't well versed in the scriptures will be susceptible to the cult of personality around Baha'u'llah.
I do not deny the Bible, I only deny that the physical body of Jesus rose from the dead; but not only Baha'is deny that, many Christians deny it as well, so this is not a "Baha'i thing."This is where you are shown to be a false teacher, you source the Bible as your authority in one argument but then deny the Bible in the next.
I have more proof that Baha'u'llah performed miracles than you have that Jesus performed miracles."Baha'u'llah did perform miracles and He had a Book of Miracles that He did not want anyone to know about because He did not want to be believed in for His miracles."
How do you know what God wants, do you have an inside line to God?When God performs miracles its because God wants it known! It wouldn't be about Baha'u'llah's EGO identity and self will. He outed himself with that fake claim.
Jesus credited his Father for the miracles, he didn't hide them under false humility. Since the Bible that you quote isn't proof of Jesus' miracles then neither are your claims about Baha'u'llah.I have more proof that Baha'u'llah performed miracles than you have that Jesus performed miracles.
However, miracles do not matter to people who have spiritual insight:
Question.—It is recorded that miracles were performed by Christ. Are the reports of these miracles really to be accepted literally, or have they another meaning? It has been proved by exact science that the essence of things does not change, and that all beings are under one universal law and organization from which they cannot deviate; and, therefore, that which is contrary to universal law is impossible.
Answer.—The Holy Manifestations are the sources of miracles and the originators of wonderful signs. For Them, any difficult and impracticable thing is possible and easy. For through a supernatural power wonders appear from Them; and by this power, which is beyond nature, They influence the world of nature. From all the Manifestations marvelous things have appeared.
But in the Holy Books an especial terminology is employed, and for the Manifestations these miracles and wonderful signs have no importance. They do not even wish to mention them. For if we consider miracles a great proof, they are still only proofs and arguments for those who are present when they are performed, and not for those who are absent.....
For example, if we relate to a seeker, a stranger to Moses and Christ, marvelous signs, he will deny them and will say: “Wonderful signs are also continually related of false gods by the testimony of many people, and they are affirmed in the Books. The Brahmans have written a book about wonderful prodigies from Brahma.” He will also say: “How can we know that the Jews and the Christians speak the truth, and that the Brahmans tell a lie? For both are generally admitted traditions, which are collected in books, and may be supposed to be true or false.” The same may be said of other religions: if one is true, all are true; if one is accepted, all must be accepted. Therefore, miracles are not a proof. For if they are proofs for those who are present, they fail as proofs to those who are absent.
But in the day of the Manifestation the people with insight see that all the conditions of the Manifestation are miracles, for They are superior to all others, and this alone is an absolute miracle. Recollect that Christ, solitary and alone, without a helper or protector, without armies and legions, and under the greatest oppression, uplifted the standard of God before all the people of the world, and withstood them, and finally conquered all, although outwardly He was crucified. Now this is a veritable miracle which can never be denied. There is no need of any other proof of the truth of Christ.
The outward miracles have no importance for the people of Reality. If a blind man receives sight, for example, he will finally again become sightless, for he will die and be deprived of all his senses and powers. Therefore, causing the blind man to see is comparatively of little importance, for this faculty of sight will at last disappear. If the body of a dead person be resuscitated, of what use is it since the body will die again? But it is important to give perception and eternal life—that is, the spiritual and divine life. For this physical life is not immortal, and its existence is equivalent to nonexistence. So it is that Christ said to one of His disciples: “Let the dead bury their dead;” for “That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” 1
Observe: those who in appearance were physically alive, Christ considered dead; for life is the eternal life, and existence is the real existence. Wherever in the Holy Books they speak of raising the dead, the meaning is that the dead were blessed by eternal life; where it is said that the blind received sight, the signification is that he obtained the true perception; where it is said a deaf man received hearing, the meaning is that he acquired spiritual and heavenly hearing. This is ascertained from the text of the Gospel where Christ said: “These are like those of whom Isaiah said, They have eyes and see not, they have ears and hear not; and I healed them.” 2
The meaning is not that the Manifestations are unable to perform miracles, for They have all power. But for Them inner sight, spiritual healing and eternal life are the valuable and important things. Consequently, whenever it is recorded in the Holy Books that such a one was blind and recovered his sight, the meaning is that he was inwardly blind, and that he obtained spiritual vision, or that he was ignorant and became wise, or that he was negligent and became heedful, or that he was worldly and became heavenly.
As this inner sight, hearing, life and healing are eternal, they are of importance. What, comparatively, is the importance, the value and the worth of this animal life with its powers? In a few days it will cease like fleeting thoughts. For example, if one relights an extinguished lamp, it will again become extinguished; but the light of the sun is always luminous. This is of importance.”

How do you know what God wants, do you have an inside line to God?
You can NO MORE prove that Jesus ever performed miracles than I can prove that Baha'u'llah performed miracles, but at least I have contemporary eyewitnesses to Baha'u'llah's miracles whereas all you have is a book passed down by oral tradition written by men who never even knew Jesus.
Baha'u'llah had no false humility. the following excerpts from the website Famous Miracles in the Baha’i Faith explains Baha'u'llah's attitude towards miracles.Jesus credited his Father for the miracles, he didn't hide them under false humility.
How does that compute? My claims about the miracles of Baha'u'llah do not come from the Bible. They come from testimonies of His followers.Since the Bible that you quote isn't proof of Jesus' miracles then neither are your claims about Baha'u'llah.
It is not lost on me. Authentic means of undisputed origin; genuine. Even Christians have to admit that the Bible is not authentic. By stark contrast, the Writings of Baha'u'llah are wholly authentic.You quote the Bible but challenge its authenticity. Somehow that's lost on you.
First God punishes the 4th generation children of the father who sinned, then he decides the children shall not be punished, only the father. If that isn't changing I don't know what is.
