    What do Baha'i believe about Jesus.

    That was 1400 years ago. Perhaps God has done something new since the Founding of Islam. Because I have faith in the Baha'i Scriptures, and believe that the Baha'i Scriptures are the Word of God. If the Baha'i teaching that all God's Manifestations/Apostles are, spiritually, the same Person is...

    Joe Boonda Debate on Baha`i

    Have you ever come across a first rate one? If it exists, I would be very interested in reading it.

    Joe Boonda Debate on Baha`i

    The Baha'i doctrine of the Oneness of Humanity means that we should all love one another. Give up prejudice and discrimination, stop using violence to resolve problems. This includes every man, woman, and child on Earth. Are Christians opposed to this? If they are, then what, exactly, does Jesus...

    What do Baha'i believe about Jesus.

    There are certainly better Baha'is here than myself, but since no-one has yet responded: I do not feel this applies to Baha'u'llah. First, that it does is a theological interpretation, not a direct quote from Scripture. Jesus never said "Eighteen hundred years from now there will be a false...

    Which prophets do Baha'I's recognize?

    Baha'u'llah teaches that religious prejudice is wrong, plain and simple. When I first encountered the Baha'i Faith that sounded like a worthwhile idea, so I set aside my feelings about Islam (which I knew perfectly well were not based on anything resembling logic) and read a biography of...

    Which prophets do Baha'I's recognize?

    If God gives us a beautiful gift, such as the wisdom of the Blessed Lord Buddha, shall we not accept it? In elementary school we read a story of a rabbit that willingly sacrificed it's life to save Buddha from starvation. I was quite touched by this, depite being a Protestant Christian in the...

    The Return of Christ

    I came across a book (promoting atheism) which said the Gospel had been preached to all the world by the 1840s. Frustratingly, no source of authoritative information was given in support of that statement.

    Basic Teaching of Bahai's Faith

    If you want to give money to the Baha'i Faith you had better be carrying one of those membership cards. Otherwise you will be politely told to take your money elsewhere.

    Which prophets do Baha'I's recognize?

    Okay, but our earliest members were Shi'i and Sunni Muslim, and a large number of them, including many who were full-time students of Islamic religious thought, were able to meet the Bab and Baha'u'llah in Person. They did not see any conflict in Islamic teaching about the meaning of "the Seal...

    Recognizing Baha'u'llah

    At one point in my life, and I had been a Baha'i for some years, I realized the Christians and the Baha'is were telling me two different things. I promptly decided I wanted to follow God, not a group of people, so I started more intensive study. The first issue I wanted to resolve was that...

    Orthodox Bahá'í Faith

    I was born in 1954, and did not know of the existence of the Baha'i Faith until 1970. So my view is based on the opinions of the Baha'is who WERE there and saw these events with their own eyes. Shoghi Effendi selected the most knowledgeable, pious, loyal Baha'is in the entire world and made them...

    Queen Elizabeth II's Christmas message

    From the BBC's website: The full text of the Queen's Christmas broadcast. Christmas is for most of us a time for a break from work, for family and friends, for presents, turkey and crackers. But we should not lose sight of the fact that these are traditional celebrations around a great...
