Featured Are Baha’u’llah’s prophecies coming true?

Since Baha'u'llah many kings have fallen, there has been WW I, WW II, the rise of the Bolsheviks, the fall of the Bolsheviks, the Revolutions in China, the Great Depression, to name a few.

 

Yes, he learned to read and write. What He wrote was from a Source beyond your understanding. That's all I will give you.

 

No, you don't understand. It was WW I when there was a second turn. Take notice @KWED. The banks of the Rhine covered with gore refers to the Franco-Prussia war. There is another turn says nothing about the Rhine covered with gore. And even if it did, the allies pushed Germany back across the Rhine in 1918, and then there was the armistice. That's how I remember it.

 

You might say so, but it is absolute foolishness to think that events can be foretold. Things happen because of probability and uncertainty.
That is why Krishna said "Ma phaleshu kadachana" (Your right does not extend to the result of your actions. There will be innumerable variables involved, your action is just one of them).
BhgawadGita 2.47

Is that anything new? Empires, emperors, kings, kingdoms, have always been falling ever since the day societies came up, even in the animal kingdom (if you do not consider humans to be animals).

 

I edited my post above. I amended it to at the end:

Yes, I already know that they pick and choose which Bible verses they use. No different to many Christians, really.

 

That was allegedly said a long time before it was written down, how do you know He said this, and since when do you believe in Krishna. He is supposed to be an avatar of Vishnu, and you are an atheist. You are not sincere or honest, and well as not having an open mind. I'm sorry, but I'm letting you have it. I'm only human. I want to an discussion with people here, but I cannot have a discussion with you, you only debate, you only want to want to win. Do you believe in anything, really, or are you only here to be a troll.

 

Count as a valid prophecy. Are you having trouble following the conversation again?

Not once in this thread have I claimed that Mr B was not divinely inspired, therefore his never made any valid prophecies.

Again, you use a strawman against me. I am not discussing Mr B at all, I am discussing how we can tell if a prophecy is valid, as the validity of a prophecy must be ascertained before we can claim it has been fulfilled.

If you ask, "Are Mr B's prophecies coming true?" then it presupposes that what he presented was a valid prophecy. I have claimed that it is not a valid prophecy because it is too vague, and many events can be claimed to have fulfilled it.

As I've already claimed, that prophecy in question was fulfilled by the internet.

 

Ah, I must have missed that. I'll reply to it here.

Needless to say, I do not expect to see God, since I don't believe he even exists. I thought you would have known this about me by now.

Moses, and many others, have seen God.

Manoah and his wife (Samson's parents) saw God. (Manoah thought God would kill them for it.)

• And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God. But his wife said unto him, If the LORD were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meat offering at our hands, neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor would as at this time have told us such things as these. And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson. Judges 13:22-24

• I [Isaiah] saw, also, the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings. ... Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. Isaiah 6:1-2

Ezekiel saw God's loins, which appeared to be on fire.

• And I saw ... the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about. ...

I never, even for a moment, think that Gita is a record of what Krishna, a supposed avatara of Hindu Lord Vishn, said. Gita was written around the beginning of Christian era, by an unnamed poet and there have been interpolations later, but it still remains a book of Hindu wisdom if you disregard the purely sectoral verses.

Also remember that you are in a debate forum, where people will question your beliefs if they think such beliefs are wrong.

Why did you post the topic here if you did not want a debate? It should have been in the Abrahamic religions forum.

 

Yes! Some still do!
I've been reading Christian posts explaining that it was Obama's/Biden's fault that Putin has been upset,....... leading to this! ........ when it is mostly Christians in Ukraine who are struggling against this international assassin.

Politics comes way before faith for some, I think.

 

You quote a few interesting things.
- Yes, the God of Abraham likes the burnt offering of flesh the most. The same happened with Abel. Not surprising, I too like them. Are we not made in his image? Let him come to India. I will offer him the best Mughulai kebabs (although perhaps they would not compare with the kebabs of Gawalmandi, Lahore. Before partition, my father-in-law resided there).
- With his lions upward, appearance of fire, bright roundness, glory of the Lord; no wonder Ezekiel swooned.
- Again with a plumb-line in his hand, I do not know which building he was constructing?
- Of course, all-mighty God can do whatever he likes (except sending his message directly to humans), but perhaps Habakkuk was talking of nails and not horns out of hands.
- Of course, Jesus was his own begotten son. Why would Jesus not be able to see him?

 

Yes I am. How else could I have come up with such a vision and shared it with the world?

 

Again, we have been through this before. A claim and a belief are essentially the same thing.

So you believe anything and everything that has not been proved to be false can therefore be assumed to be true? So I guess you have prepared to hide your thoughts from our rodent overlords?

 

What kind of predictions did people in the Bible make?
Have you any examples?
