Do you understand why Hinduis, Jews, and Christians (and a Muslim) corrects you?
Where we disagree... gosh, that's like pulling food out of your teeth. I mean, you already said you chose not to look at differences [because they cause division]. Did you change your mind?
Carlita, even within Hinduism, there are various interpretations of reincarnation. Hindus will all agree to disagree, but maintain civility, and agree not to argue endlessly about it. For example, some sects believe that humans can be reincarnated as animals, while others like mine, just don't.
So it begs the question, which version of Hinduism's many versions of reincarnation do the Baha'i' feel is the same as theirs? It obviously can't be ALL of them. (As far as I know, it's none of them, but I'm not all that familiar with the other ones outside my sampradaya.)
I have read and tried to understand why Baha'u'llah has correcred all the misunderstandings of the past.
No it is because we keep replying to post that concentrate on differences.
Would you like to try the other way now, are you seeing the benefit of exploring the common foundations?
Regards Tony.
You believe in god and I don't.
Apparently one can be different and the same at the same time, or agree and disagree simultaneously. I did not know that.
I have read and tried to understand why Baha'u'llah has correcred all the misunderstandings of the past.
This is interesting for sure.
It is also has deep in meaning which will require much meditation.
What do we have in common as foundational differences? (lol if your peace is mine, what's my peace?)
There is no deep meaning in my sarcasm Tony.
But of course that's what you would say. You always say the same agreeable stuff. lol It's far too predictable, after so long. Baha'u'llah and his followers know all, after all.You would be very surprised, everything has meaning, even the reincarnation of all past rejections.

a fruit upon the tree of humility".
It is contained in this.
"Be generous in prosperity, and thankful in adversity. Be worthy of the trust of thy neighbor, and look upon him with a bright and friendly face. Be a treasure to the poor, an admonisher to the rich, an answerer of the cry of the needy, a preserver of the sanctity of thy pledge. Be fair in thy judgment, and guarded in thy speech. Be unjust to no man, and show all meekness to all men. Be as a lamp unto them that walk in darkness, a joy to the sorrowful, a sea for the thirsty, a haven for the distressed, an upholder and defender of the victim of oppression. Let integrity and uprightness distinguish all thine acts. Be a home for the stranger, a balm to the suffering, a tower of strength for the fugitive. Be eyes to the blind, and a guiding light unto the feet of the erring. Be an ornament to the countenance of truth, a crown to the brow of fidelity, a pillar of the temple of righteousness, a breath of life to the body of mankind, an ensign of the hosts of justice, a luminary above the horizon of virtue, a dew to the soil of the human heart, an ark on the ocean of knowledge, a sun in the heaven of bounty, a gem on the diadem of wisdom, a shining light in the firmament of thy generation, a fruit upon the tree of humility".
If all achieve that we have Unity and Peace.

tony kindly grab and read a copy of bhagwat gita .. krishna = god , daddy of god , grand daddy of god. shiva = great great grand dad. and they all are the same. talk of trinity we have 108 trinities in a connected equilateral triangle.This is interesting for sure.
It is also has deep in meaning which will require much meditation.
There is Affirmation and Negation. It is interesting that the Faith of Muhammad was one of Negation. A Muslim says there is "No God but God". 'No God' being the Negation before the Affirmation 'but God'.
The Bab has explained this, but it is out of my spiritual depth, though it did spark many other thoughts and I find it a very interesting topic.
Consider a new Religion, the Truth, is born out of so much rejection. Rejection being at this time neccessary for the growth of Faith.
Also one Can see a Messenger as God (Like Krishna is seen) or one can see the Mesenger as a Mediator. Both views are not wrong until they become a point of dissagreement when both would be wrong.
This is explained in the Kitab-i-iqan.
As this is my personal view on the writings, other people will have different thoughts.

I understood what he was saying with the reply as would any oerson that has pursued the Writings of Baha'u'llah.
They are the key to understanding all the Holy Books of the past.
Can this be confirmed, yes but only by seing if it is so by ones own just search.
