This poem, or whatever you want to call it was written about 40 years ago. I don't expect anyone to be converted to the Baha'i Faith by this. This is just my personal view of the developments of the last 2000 years of Western civilization and were it is headed ultimately. For those Muslims...
Take heed lest the deeds wrought by the embodiments of idle fancy sadden you or the acts committed by every wayward oppressor grieve you. Seize ye the chalice of constancy through the power of His Name, quaff then therefrom by virtue of the sovereignty of God, the Powerful, the Omnipotent. Thus...
I recently had said that monotheism is a contradiction because it is impossible to not be of the Universe yet be involved in it in so many ways. That's probably not true. I mean, look at the Internet. I'm interacting with all of you despite not being in your house. But exactly what does God do...
Before Baha'u'llah passed away, he encouraged all of his followers to embark on their own personal investigation of truth. I was wondering how far this can go. Shoghi Effendi has denied that the Baha'i Faith can be deistic or pantheistic, yet, if say, I not only believe in both as a means to...

The fundamental difference is:
1. I am saying that there are two gods: Jesus Christ, and satan.

Chapter 5 Prayer and Meditation – The Benefits of Prayer
The state of prayer is the best of conditions, for man is then associating with God. Prayer verily bestoweth life, particularly when offered in private and at times, such as midnight, when freed from daily cares.

I had the privelege of takng a course on the Indigeneous Perspective on the Sacred. In that course they provided us a chapter from a book called Faith, Physics and Psychology by John Fitzgerald Medina, who is a indigenous person himself. I was so impressed by the chapter that I bought the book...
This is a thread where I present each verse in the Sermon on the Mount and related verses in the Gospels, and quote the Baha'i Writings that pertain to that verse. This is for the benefit of both Baha'is and Christians.

Khatam an-Nabiyyin, usually translated as Seal of the Prophets, is a title used in the Quran to designate the Prophet Muhammad. Among Muslims, it is generally regarded to mean that Muhammad was the last of the prophets sent by God.
The title khatam an-nabiyyin or khatim an-nabiyyin, is applied...
Some material posted in another thread inspired me to do some additional reading outside of RF, which led to the creation of this thread. Allow me to preface this thread by saying this is in no way an attack on the Baha'i faith nor its followers, nor will I allow it to become one. It is...
Starting In the time of Shoghi Effendi's ministry, the Baha'i World volumes were published right up until 2006. In a move to thoughtfully present to the world at large what Baha'is believe and do, there is now a new website based on that publication that will evolve over time.
