Biblical prophecies and statements. Are they about Jesus Christ or Bahaullah?

Baha'u'llah did not come to save us and to teach us how to live. Jesus did.
The source does not understand the Baha'i Faith, if you see the source does, or posted it thinking it has merit, then you have not yet understood the Baha'i Writings.

Baha'u'llah made it clear he came for the Salvation of all Humanity and gave us the teachings to do so.
So your statement is not correct.
Regards Tony
Jesus didn't just come to save people from their sins but also to teach us how to live and so that we could come before God. Jesus is an Advocate Redeemer Mediator. That is why the Old Testament says the Messiah will be.
To which Bahá’u’lláh also was.
Jesus said he had more to say unto us and that he would return with a New Name, a name only those who that accepted, would see.

Bahaullah confirms any belief in Bible.
The site, also, says, Bahais don't agree with virgin birth. That is incorrect. They do.
How do you interpret Advocate and Redeemer though?
This is a quote from Bahaullah:
"Know thou that when the Son of Man [Jesus] yielded up His breath to God, the whole creation wept with a great weeping. By sacrificing Himself, however, a fresh capacity was infused into all created things. Its evidences, as witnessed in all the peoples of the earth, are now manifest before thee. The deepest wisdom which the sages have uttered, the profoundest learning which any mind hath unfolded, the arts which the ablest hands have produced, the influence exerted by the most potent of rulers, are but manifestations of the quickening power released by His transcendent, His all-pervasive and resplendent Spirit.
We testify that when He came into the world, He shed the splendor of His glory upon all created things. Through Him the leper recovered from the leprosy of perversity and ignorance. Through Him the unchaste and wayward were healed. Through His power, born of Almighty God, the eyes of the blind were opened and the soul of the sinner sanctified…. He it is Who purified the world. Blessed is the man who, with a face beaming with light, hath turned towards Him."

Yes, it seems to me, Bahais accept the whole Bible. But Christians don't accept all of it.
I see it is a great bounty to be able to accept the Bible as a sure guide and the Quran as the Word of God and at the same time, also get to find the Light of God in all past scriptures.
One would have to ask, if that is not a great path to unity, how else will we find it?

The Bible says not to add or subtract to God's word.
What's your question?
Why do you think doctrines were made, like the Trinity and Absolution and child baptisim then? Would that not be men adding to the Bible?
Jesus said He had more to say and said the Spirit of Truth would guide us to all Truth.
Baha'u'llah is that Spirit of Truth, Christ returned as the Father.

A question is not required when a winner reply is made to prove a point.
How was it not a winner reply,? That is if you want a question.
Regards Tony
What do you think that verse means?
I don't agree with child baptism or a priest pretending to absolve people of their sins. Jesus said who can forgive sins but God only. Jesus saying he had more to say doesn't mean that there would be a second New Testament. That's would the Mormons and the Muslims teach. The Trinity doesn't have to be mentioned verbatim in the Bible. In Genesis says let us make man in our image.

But if you want other people to misunderstand a faith so they will end up believing Christianity is superior, then you misrepresent that faith the way many Christian websites do, and you do it sneakily, hoping that nobody will notice.
On the other hand, a website that is entitled What's Wrong with Baha'i? is a dead giveaway.
On the other hand, I cannot know anyone's motives, and it is more likely that most Christians who misrepresent the Baha'i Faith do it out of ignorance, because they really do not understand what the Baha'i Faith teaches.
Muhammad and Ali are the Two Witnessed in Revelation that gave Prophecy for 1260 years, clothed in sackcloth.
The Beast is the 7 kingdoms and 10 rulers of that time.
That all happened up until 1844, when Christ returned.

The authors of the Gospels were certainly aware of all those passages and had them in mind when they wrote their works, yes.
... but this tells us nothing about the intent of the writers of the Tanakh.
Sure it does.
In the Christian reinterpretation of the Tanakh, that's certainly true, but again: this tells us nothing about the intent of the writers of the Tanakh.
