No, you ducked. You claimed to be the evidence for God.
There was nothing illogical about his statement and more rambling on your part also supports that your logical reasoning abilities may need some help. By the way were you serious about Bridey Murphy being "evidence" of reincarnation?
Please cite any verses in the Bible that support a belief in reincarnation.
I had a logical reason to believe in the Baha'i Faith and that is why I believed it in the first place, because it is the only religion that makes any logical sense to me.
But you have not given me a logical reason why the important message in religion should be easy to see except that is the way you want it to be, whereas I have given you the reason why it is not that easy to see, because God wants it that way. Logically speaking, if God wants us to make an effort rather than making it easy there is nothing you can do about that since you cannot control an omnipotent God. If you want to reject my beliefs in favor of your own personal opinions fine, as long as you don't care about God or the message that has been delivered.
I fully agree.
Of course we make choices based upon previous experiences but that does not mean that we do not have free will to make choices. Just because you made choice a that does not mean you could not have made choice b; it only means you made choice a instead. Of course there is no way to turn back the clock and prove you could have or could not have done something differently. The only reason that you might have been unable to do something differently is if the choice you made was predestined by God, but I do not believe all our choices are predestined by God, although some are.
No you never told me 'another way' in which God could provide evidence of His existence and you never told me another way, aside from Messengers, in which could God communicate the actual messages that we see in scriptures of religions.
Just because other medical treatments also carry risks does not mean I want the risks of Covid vaccines and I am certainly not the only one who feels this way.
That is not science.
No I looked at the VAERS data.
That is meaningless vaguery, understand the science. You understand everything and I don't understand anything. What is that called? I know but you probably don't.
Of course I decided to believe it but that does not mean it was not evidence. take a course in logic.
I claimed nothing.
You did not do anything at all and you know it. You never even researches the Baha'i Faith so how could you put it to any test?
Conflating science and religion again and committing the fallacy of false equivalence.
No, the only reason anyone says that is because it is logic 101.
Not on that subject.
Saying "I believe" is not a claim.
Do you enjoy making a fool out of yourself?
I have no argument since I am not trying to prove anything.
Well, the response is to a Baha'i. They agree with you. They believe the Bible is truth but that not all of it is literal... or a lot of it. And, that it is not all correct. Funny, though, what is truth and what is correct is what they tell you is true and correct. A big thing that is not literal for them is the resurrection of Jesus.
Until recent times people were born into or forced to believe in a religion. And not one of those earlier religions do Baha'is believe in as having the absolute truth about God. As seen below, Baha'is believe all of them have been corrupted. So the smart thing to do is to not believe in what we are told is true by those other religions. So how do we test a new religion like the Baha'i Faith that claims is has the pure, unadulterated truth from God? We ask for proof. We ask for evidence. Because he was a nice guy and seems trustworthy, and because he said God is real, is not proof. But to "prove" it to oneself? That's different.
So you used logic? The Baha'i Faith makes "logical" sense? That's something we can all look at and see for ourselves. Does it make logical sense that an all-loving God has made all this mess? Sure, if you think that earthquakes, storms, diseases, and animals that hurt or kill humans was a good, loving way to create a world.
Baha'is only recognized the "revealed", major religions, which do seem to contradict each other. But you say it is a "fact" that they don't? What are those "facts"?
Again, what was the "original" message? And, you are right... to know that they been "misconstrued" you'd have to know something about those religions and their history. Great, we can do that. Let's look at Hinduism and Buddhism. What do they say? What is their history? What prophecies do they have about the coming of Kalki and Maitreya? And, what does Baha'u'llah, or the Baha'i Faith, say about them? You want to do that? Considering in the past you've said things like "I don't care", I don't think you really do.
You are the Baha'i. You say that Baha'u'llah's claims are true. You keep putting out that quote that says that his life, his mission and his writings are the proof. Okay, what about his life, his mission and in his writings prove anything?
This TB, is what so many of us have to say about what you are doing. Thread after thread... is it them or you? What is the next step in actually opening up people's minds to the possibility that the Baha'i Faith is true? If it is logical and sensible? What are the things that makes the Baha'i Faith logical and sensible? You're never going to "prove" God or Baha'u'llah. All you can hope to do is not turn people off from wanting to investigate and look into what the Baha'i Faith teaches. Or not.
