Punishment for adultery

[TransmutingSoul]

Bahai divorce rate is right up there, maybe higher than the Christian fundies, at least in the US. There are tons of problems. Dr. Cole tried to point them out, but he just got himself booted, and declared an enemy. So much for fair play, eh?

Bahau'llah also warned against this. He warned the Baha'i they had to become a new race of men, or the events of these times would also draw them into the vortex of a collapsing old world order.

We all have a lot to consider.

Unity is urgent.

That is what a Baha'i does. Tries other ideas based on what is considerd great advice for this age we live in.

Yes i have just been advised of the failures in Baha'i marriage

Opinions change. They can change in an instance or it can take years.

Regards Tony

That is your opinion, it has no baring on anyone else

There are many many more that have suceeded.

That is life, we all struggle to build a world where the unity of humanity will guide us to better choices.

A united mind, has its foundation in a couple and then family.

I disagree, obviously. Mutual respect is somewhat urgent, beginning with actually listening and reading what other people are saying. But nothing is truly urgent. There is a ton of depression amongst SJW's because they're impatient. Not healthy for anyone.

The 'urgency' put out by your faith is one if it's downfalls. People burn out just trying to convert everyone.

I can say with full assurance that peoples opinions can and do change and there is not one person on this planet that has not or will not have changed an opinion they have held at one time.

I don't think adultery is the 'better' choice, (agree to open marriages notwithstanding) but most certainly sometimes divorce is. Many many people are far happier with divorce. When marriages are all about one person preaching their views at the other, little wonder people hit the road.

apparently the State decided the law was.....outdated

and I suspect God and heaven think of manmade law as a bad joke

So what was the punishment for the crime of adultery before it was repealed?

And what in your view should it be now?

Oh yes, but they do not change to suit you

So its a percentage game? The fact remains that there are many failures

And an open marriage also has is foundation in the family.

I have never asked them to, not can I change them.

This is our challenge. All the Holy books tell of this challenge. All Faiths practice change within ones own self, in one way or another.

In my opinion.

You are suggesting they live their live by your dictate

In my opinion.

Regards Tony

Yet some are not holy and none of the books actually agree with each other.

 

[TransmutingSoul]

What challenge?

Do away with our personal failures.

Time, I see, proves what these are and we have a lot of history to look back on.

I have dictated nothing at al.

Bahaullah on the other hand did and many secretaries could not keep up.

Thus I share what Baha'u'llah offered, a wisdom not of me.

This is a choice we can have. Some have taken that choice, others may do, some will not.

I have changed my opinion about that from good advice I found.

I apologize, i change dictated to advocated

Thus i dont want any of your offering even if they are second hand. I lead my life as i need to, not how others want me to lead it

Sorry .that doesnt make sense to my post.

Some are not holy.. "in my opinion" no, in the opinion of everyone not holy, all atheists.

What advice tells you that religious books from different religions agree? Of you were advised they did agree then that is poor advice
