An introduction.

[od19g6]

Hi everyone.

I'm new to this site but it looks interesting, like a place for a lot of topics.

I'm Baha'i, have anyone here have heard of the baha'i faith, if you have what do you think of it?

Because I am new I don't really know if this is the appropriate section for me because we have to be careful about the word debate. Sometimes debate could mean to argue and I don't want to do that. For me this is about sharing beliefs and information and finding truths.

Thank you.

I would ask first....

Hi. Thanks for the question.

The number 9 in the baha'i faith is a symbol of completeness, 9 is the highest single digit.

All those look interesting but the question is, is there carrot cake?

Oh ok.

I wanted to as you something rival, what's the difference between: interfaith discussion and religious debate?

I won't say that it's impossible to find truth without debating, but debate is one of the best forms to do so. Viewing and weighing the arguments of others and having one's own arguments scrutinized is the preferred method of scientists - who have a pretty good track record of finding models (truths) for the real world.

I don't have a clue about your belief

and the debate section is for the brave of heart
we tend to 'poke' a bit more firmly there

Shalom and welcome.

No debate is allowed in the interfaith section.

I have another question as I'm trying to navigate. I see a few more responses in my profile but I can't see them on the thread.

Any suggestions?

My point is that I don't want to argue and not let the conversation be fruitful.

The baha'i faith was founded by an individual called Baha'u'llah, and is the latest in a long line of individuals that God has sent throughout history to teach humanity the right spiritual path. Those individuals include, Jesus Christ, Moses, The Buddha, Prophet Muhammad and The Bab, all are divine Messengers/Teachers from God and Baha'u'llah is the latest of these divine Messengers/Teachers. The word Baha'u'llah means the glory of God.

If I'm not mistaking, the number 9 represents Baha'u'llah because he is the premised figure that the Prophets of old was referring to and he is the supreme Messenger of God.

Welcome Od19g6!
Glad you joined us.

Normally, this sort of thread would be put in the introduction forum. No big deal though.
