Did I? I don't recall having written any such conclusion. This thread was posted to highlight a news story which seems to want following up -- but I made no accusation of guilt whatever.

Depends what you mean by "equality."
If it's equality of pay then sure.
Equality of vote, respect, dignity... sure.
But...
Equality to send women to the front in a war?
Equality of interests, temperament, worldviews etc.. Big fat no.
for instance, guys like to talk about "things" (cars, guns, sports...)
and girls like to talk about people. You going to change that?
Equality is dear to the heart of your cultural Marxist. I don't see
children as having "equality" with adults, for instance. Or two people
with differing aptitudes and abilities being economically equal.

The dismissal of wealth (be it by an individual or a nation) can be catastrophic.
first, no accumulated wealth to invest
no capital intensive business
... well, maybe no business at all.
the more billionaires in a nation, the wealthier that nation is.
I am a great fan of Elon Musk. He is single handedly changing the world.
If he become the first Trillionaire I will be cheering.

Excellent point.
Kings before last century never had the medicines, wealth, air conditioning, knowledge,
entertainment etc that your average human has today. We are all royalty - and scarcely
appreciate it.
So do you admit that none of the writings of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad are authored by God?
Perfect, then since they are human works there is no need to imitate his interpretation the way all Ahmadis do.
ETA: Don’t you think the Ahmadiyya website is being misleading calling them “divine revelations”?

If you are referring to the Old Testament account of the crucifixion
then read Psalm 22 and 69, and Isaiah 53.
Says in Zechariah that the Jewish Messiah will come, but the Jews
will mourn because it is the same person who's hands and feet
they "pierced." Zech 12:10

Please have a look on my latest post #235 in the thread. I have started giving the clues in the issue. The LDS people are also here in the Forum and in the thread. They can also participate in the friendly discussion/debate, no harm at all. Right, please?

Suffices it to say that if there is any money collected in the name of Jesus or Jesus' Second Coming with any Christian denomination, as I am given to understand, it may be donated to the charity "Humanity First Canada". No harm in it.Just a suggestion. Right, please?

But not saying they are part of Quran - our Holy Book - the pristine and secure Direct Word of G-d and authored by G-d. Right, please?
Is there anything in Iqan written by Bahaullah about Jesus' death on Cross or his not having died , please?
If yes, then please quote from Iqan. Right, please?
Thanks friend.

You didn’t answer my questions in a clear manner
I have told you before that I am not a Baha’i
Individual Latter-day Saints and ancient prophets yes, and minor sins yes, but modern prophets and major sins no.

Modern ones have no super powers or special abilities the ancient ones lacked that make them immune from ever doing such things. No organization is entirely free of such things.

"I have told you before that I am not a Baha’i"
Sorry Sir, I forgot and now I have corrected my post accordingly, please.

Your reply still does not answer either of my questions
The gift of the Holy Ghost warns people before they make grave errors. It has worked for me since I got rebaptized.
I have schizophrenia and it still gets through.
(I don't think the gift of the holy ghost was available to ancient prophets or apostles before Jesus' death).
I agree. Medicine, information, transportation, entertainment, arts and sciences usually readily available. We could treat each other better, but even there we have generally gotten a little better. Still plenty of work left to do.
