    An important message from Baha'u'llah that applies to the current situation in the world

    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...

    Religious Authority and Authority in General

    Howdy! Recently I have been going through the David Graeber book called debt. It’s pretty neat and helped me put into words a few things that I believed but had not exactly articulated. It’s interesting to note for instance how debt and authority sort of comingle. What I realized is I simply...

    Hidden Words deepening 3:00 - 4:30 Eastern time Sept 24th

    Duane Dawson is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. We only covered two Hidden Words last time. Some discussion off-point is fine, but there was too much last time.

    Hidden Words Zoom meeting 2:00 - 3:30 Eastern time (US)

    There will be no meeting a week from Saturday, there is a conference here in our location here on that day. I will no longer try to include scriptures from other religions because I have found that it distracts from truly discussing what each Hidden Word means. Those who liked it the way it was...

    Skepticism about Gurus

    Skepticism of Gurus I am personally rather skeptical of gurus in general. I think that gurus can often have useful insights or have useful personal stories but are over glorified among many religions. In a lot of cases one is expected to hand over their reasoning faculties and just go along...

    Visions and Scripture

    I have been talking to certain entities I call the divines during deep prayer and meditation. They have inspired in me certain stories and shown me things. I figured I would share one of the things I saw recently and see what you guys thought. I considered putting this in the scripture /...

    If There Was No Evidence For Scripture, Would It's Content Still Be True?

    This is somewhat indirectly a response to a post I was reading about evidence in belief. I just want to clarify, most religions have some sort of scripture that supports it's foundation. Many people consider their Scripture the standard of Truth. I am just curious to know how many people would...

    Your Thoughts on God's Will For Believers In Christ Jesus?

    What are your thoughts about these scriptures to seem to profess God's will for Christian believers? Do you believe what these scriptures found in 1 Thessalonians 5 have any merit to the life of a Christian believer considering it has to do with God's will for believers? Have you ever been...

    Fulfillment of Prophecy in the New Testament

    Hi there, As a former Christian, having read the Old Testament and New Testament to completion and numerous books multiple times, it has always occurred to me that a few Old Testament scriptures that the New Testament says was fulfilled by Jesus or in some other way, seem to have been taken out...

    Has Anyone Actually Read The Bible?

    Every time I get to discussing religion with Christians, I find that they can quote some memorized scriptures that prove whatever point they want to make. When I offer a rebuttal scripture that contradicts theirs, they'll decide that my scripture is a parable but theirs is literal or some other...
