    If a person claiming to be Christ comes today, how do you know it is really *not* him?

    No comment from Baha'is on this? I don't have a problem with people believing their God is guiding them and helping them in battles. And to even have their prophet participate in the battles. I just question if that God is real.

    Do Baha'is believe the Hadiths are authoritative?

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    I went back looking for something else, but I found this statement of yours. Baha'is have their favorite "cherry-picked" verses. Like where it says that when he the spirit of truth comes, it is talking about Baha'u'llah and not the Holy Spirit. Then the "Three Woes" being Muhammad, the Bab and...

    If a person claiming to be Christ comes today, how do you know it is really *not* him?

    I don't know. He's one of your "manifestations." But I thought he took part in several battles. The military career of Muhammad (c. 570 – 8 June 632), the Islamic prophet, encompasses several expeditions and battles throughout the Hejaz region in the western Arabian Peninsula which took place...

    That's the guy I was trying to remember. Let me see how much of a scholar he was. Thanks.

    My loss? A person could tell me how the met the Dalai Lama and were so impressed they become a Tibetan Buddhist. It would be a great story, but what would it mean to you? That person would probably now believe he has been reborn into this life from having lived many past lives.

    If a person claiming to be Christ comes today, how do you know it is really *not* him?

    I didn't a search but didn't find anyone that sounded like a Christian scholar. So, is there a Christian scholar, that new all the "fundamental", Born-Again Christian interpretations, that met either the Bab, Baha'u'llah or Abdul Baha and was so impressed and convinced by them, that they became...

    Sorry, but I don't know much about Islam and the Quran. If you have a Christian scholar that met the Bab, Baha'u'llah or even Abdul Baha send me a link to their story.

    If a person claiming to be Christ comes today, how do you know it is really *not* him?

    Well thanks, Tony... I don't know much about the Quran, but going by what Baha'is believe of the Bible and NT, I'd have to say that Baha'u'llah changed everything to fit his teachings. Ishmael vs. Isaac... Jesus showing himself to be alive with a flesh and bone body... Satan, hell and demons...

    If a person claiming to be Christ comes today, how do you know it is really *not* him?

    In case you missed it. the Baha'is claim that their prophet, Baha'u'llah, is also the return of Kalki. In one of these threads a Baha'i claimed that in the Hindu Scriptures that the "promised one" they expect to return, which for them I assume would be Kalki, that he would come from west of...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    Because I learned about the Baha'i Faith before I read the NT, this is how I was thinking. I thought it all made perfect sense. Why wouldn't all religions be one? They are all teaching people to love one another. But the religious leaders got people to distrust the other religions. They wanted...

    If a person claiming to be Christ comes today, how do you know it is really *not* him?

    You know this is only part of what that book is claiming. I took a quick glance at it, and it had quotes from the Bab and his book that had some problems. The book had references to where the quotes came from in the Bayan. So, I assume they were quoting him accurately. Have you taken a look at...

    If a person claiming to be Christ comes today, how do you know it is really *not* him?

    In the gospel stories a lot of what convinced even his disciples were the miracles... Walking on water, calming the storm, healing the crippled, the blind, the lepers, the demon possessed, and even raising two people from the dead. Baha'is say that Baha'u'llah did do miracles but didn't want...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    It's been good having you here. I've enjoyed reading your posts. What's sad is that Baha'is are supposed to be the unifiers... They are supposed to be the ones that believe all religions are one. Obviously, that's not literal.

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    As if Baha'is believe what the Bible and the NT say is correct. If Baha'is don't like what it says they say, "That might be what it says, but that's not what it means." Can't win... If they like what it literally says, then that's what is true. If they don't like what it literally says, then...

    If a person claiming to be Christ comes today, how do you know it is really *not* him?

    Yeah, I was going by the Baha'i definition of a "manifestation" of God. These Figures are not simply ordinary people with a greater knowledge than others. Rather they are Manifestations of God, Who have exerted an incomparable influence on the evolution of human society... With the coming of...

    If a person claiming to be Christ comes today, how do you know it is really *not* him?

    Sorry, but right from the beginning he lost me... His story about Noah has nothing to do with the story in Genesis. And that came from the people that first wrote the story. It is one of their patriarchs. Why change the story? And where did the Baha'i story come from? And again, when he gets...

    If a person claiming to be Christ comes today, how do you know it is really *not* him?

    As you've said several times "It's a different paradigm." I'm sure some religions in India are focused on laws and morals codes meant for the general population, but that's a big part of most of the Abrahamic religions. I don't know if it's true, but, as I've said many times, I have a strong...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    So, it happened twice? Once for Jesus, and once for Baha'u'llah. I heard a Baha'i claim that a forerunner comes for all manifestations. Is that an official teaching of the Baha'i Faith?

    It's tough being a manifestation of God. Everyone expects everything they do, write or say has to be perfect.
