    Can we change our mind about what we believe?

    Come on Baha'is... Fictional stories are not evidence that the fictional God in those stories is real. The stories were written to be believed as true. People let themselves be martyred for a fictional story? They followed the rules given in those fictional stories and stoned people to death for...

    What does God want from you?

    He did? Or... it's people that have invented different Gods to try and explain how everything came to be and why we are here? Every God has or had people that knew them and believed in them. But they are all different. And how do Baha'is explain that? By saying that people made-up stories...

    Is it reasonable to believe in God just because God exists?

    There is none. But that's why these various threads started by Baha'is have been going on for years. They believe the "messengers" are the evidence? But what do they believe about those other messengers? Baha'u'llah didn't mention Krishna and maybe not even Buddha. But what did they have in...

    Is it reasonable to believe in God just because God exists?

    In some of the Bible stories, the character known as God is abusive. This God starts out with a test that he knows that Adam and Eve will fail. He's constantly "smiting" people for disobeying him. Lot's wife looks back at Sodom and Gomorrah and gets turned into a pillar of salt. He makes a bunch...

    But is there evidence for the Abrahamic God, either the trinitarian version or the Baha'i version? And is there evidence of the various people that the Baha'is believe were manifestations of that God? Especially their manifestations, the Bab and Baha'u'llah? And if there's evidence for this...

    Is it reasonable to believe in God just because God exists?

    Now play the game correctly... Some make-believe person believes in what very well could be a make-believe God. This make-believe God wants and expects that make-believe person to love him and obey him and to fear him. So, if that make-believe person believes in that make-believe God, then they...

    Can we change our mind about what we believe?

    Is she now claiming that the Bible and the Quran are evidence that God exists? Either one of those can also be used as evidence that people make up stories about their Gods. And when it comes to the Bible, she'd probably agree. God is very knowable and does communicate with people and is very...

    The Resurrection is it provable?

    I think that the writers of the gospels meant exactly what they said. They saw Jesus. They spoke with him. And they touched him. Now if that didn't happen, what's wrong with calling it a hoax and calling the writers liars? And what science did they have then that they could turn to and without a...

    What does God want from you?

    Okay, let me reword that... A person that becomes a Baha'i should listen to and follow all the teachings of the Baha'i Faith, because it is believed by Baha'is, to be the very word of God. If they don't believe it, then why in the %#$^ are they Baha'is?

    What does God want from you?

    I do think it is worth looking into. And, who knows, maybe they're right. But I definitely have my doubts.

    What does God want from you?

    The inconsistency is my complaint with the Baha'i Faith. It seems simple. There is this unknowable essence we call God. He made people without the capability to communicate him and understand him directly. So, this brilliant all-knowing God decided to create special human-like beings that had a...

    Disbelievers in Christianity Answer Please!

    Yes, so she is separating out the "Comforter" and "Spirit of Truth" from anything to do with the "Holy Spirit". Here's a Baha'i article that talks about this and also the "prince of this world'... In John 14:26, just four verses earlier, Jesus foretells the coming of “the Comforter.” Of...

    Can we change our mind about what we believe?

    Wow, I've never heard TB say "I know it's true". She usually says "I believe it is true". But then, as usual, it's the so-called evidence. And, as usual, the evidence against Baha'u'llah being for real is being downplayed or ignored. But that's what needs to be answered adequately in order to...

    Can we change our mind about what we believe?

    I listened and trusted personal experiences way too much. Lots of people had those life changing moments where God revealed himself to them. One person said they had climbed up a large rock and got stuck there. They couldn't see the foothold. But, lucky for him, he felt the hand of God pushing...

    Can we change our mind about what we believe?

    Yes, lots of us have made a decision to join a religious group by what we feel in our heart. But... after learning the beliefs and claims of that religious group, some of us leave that group. There are so many variations of the Christian message out there. Post, pre and a millennial, tongues or...

    What does God want from you?

    A Baha'i believes whatever the Baha'i Faith tells them to believe. They are told to investigate it on their own to see if what the Baha'i Faith teaches is true. But even TB says that there is no proof, only what she claims to be evidence, his self, his revelation and his writings. Many of us...

    Have you heard a Baha'i give an explanation of what happened at Pentecost? Since that was the Holy Spirit coming into the disciples, why don't they believe that was the fulfillment of the verses in John?

    Oh content... Well, that's different. They tell me it's in there somewhere. Actually, I have found some content. But I disagree with some of it. Maybe the flowery stuff is supposed to hide some of the things he's saying. I was told to read one of his books, and right at the beginning he...

    The last thing she is said is very important... that Baha'is interpret the Bible correctly and Christians don't. That's the magic eraser. Any or all Christians doctrines and beliefs that they hold that don't agree with what the Baha'is believe is wrong. All that stuff about being saved, sin...

    Disbelievers in Christianity Answer Please!

    Yeah, it's kind of a lie, because the Baha'i Faith believes the Quran is more authentic than the Bible. So, for Baha'is, the Quran should be the "greatest" testimony from God to man, not the Bible. "As to the question raised by the Racine Assembly in connection with Bahá’u’lláh’s statement in...
