Have you received any evidence Christ exists, aside from your mother's preaching?Mother preached me.
I have seen Angel and God.Have you received any evidence Christ exists, aside from your mother's preaching?
Are you able to convey any details of the experience/s at all? Privately if you prefer?I have seen Angel and God.
Just a normal thing. I was doing wrong, and angel appeared, he has scared me. God is Love. I have seen the love, for example, looking at my mother's hobby: making socks, for example. God is Love. Hence, seeing love you are seeing God.Are you able to convey any details of the experience/s at all? Privately if you prefer?
Great, keep up the effort to realize to the utmost, the religious goal you have. One only achieves the goal if one has one and gives it all. As Jesus explained, the straight and narrow path is VERY difficult, one will not automatically realize it merely through belief, one must transform belief into reality. I know you are making progress, but your potential is much greater than perhaps you imagine.Just a normal thing. I was doing wrong, and angel appeared, he has scared me. God is Love.

I was raised as a Catholic and have had a belief most of the time from then on.
How did you become a Baha'i?
Through belief in Jesus. From an early age I loved Jesus very much as a catholic. It was my love for Him which led me to accept this.
Baha'is believe that the gospel of Jesus is everlasting, we do not deny that.It's strange that love for Jesus has led you to a place of denial of His everlasting gospel and to a neglect of His warnings about false Christs.
Baha'is believe that the gospel of Jesus is everlasting, we do not deny that.
never claimed to be Christ so He was not what Jesus was referring to.
Jesus was warning to watch out for men claiming to be Christ.
That’s what we believe, but we also believe the gospel of Jesus is still as true as it ever was.Baha'i believe the dispensation of Jesus, hence the dispensation of the gospel of Jesus ended when Baha'u'llah came along (or was that when Muhammad came along)
Either way it is a relic of history and the current dispensation is Baha'u'llah
That is all true, since Baha’u’llah did claim to be the return of the Spirit of God, which is Jesus, so you could say He was the return of Jesus Christ.As you have said in the past, you feel sorry for Christians who are waiting for Jesus to return. He has already come and Christians don't realise it.
You are playing with words when you say that Jesus was warning only of men claiming to be "Christ".
You know I am right when I say that Baha'u'llah claimed to be what Jesus promised, His return. Stop playing Baha'i games.
Baha'u'llah wrote to leaders of religions and countries claiming to be the return of Christ. He may not have used that word "Christ" but that has nothing to do with it.
He, verily, is come with His Kingdom, and all the atoms cry aloud: “Lo! The Lord is come in His great majesty!” Bahá’u’lláh
Behold how He hath come down from the heaven of His grace, girded with power and invested with sovereignty. Is there any doubt concerning His signs? Bahá’u’lláh
He, in truth, hath come unto the world in His most great glory, and all that hath been mentioned in the Gospel hath been fulfilled. Bahá’u’lláh
The “Return” of Christ: What Does it Mean?
Followers of the Gospel … behold the gates of heaven are flung open. He that had ascended unto it is now come. Give ear to His voice…announcing to all mankind the advent of this Revelation … Bahá’u’lláh
Know thou of a certainty that the Day Star of Truth hath, in this Day, shed upon the world a radiance, the like of which bygone ages have never witnessed. Let the light of His glory, O people, shine upon you, and be not of the negligent. Bahá’u’lláh
The Return of Christ
Yes Baha'is, even you, teach the return of Jesus Christ in the coming of Baha'u'llah.
What a complete and eloquent writer Shoghi Effendi was.“Let no one, however, mistake my purpose. The Revelation, of which Bahá’u’lláh is the source and center, abrogates none of the religions that have preceded it, nor does it attempt, in the slightest degree, to distort their features or to belittle their value. It disclaims any intention of dwarfing any of the Prophets of the past, or of whittling down the eternal verity of their teachings. It can, in no wise, conflict with the spirit that animates their claims, nor does it seek to undermine the basis of any man’s allegiance to their cause. Its declared, its primary purpose is to enable every adherent of these Faiths to obtain a fuller understanding of the religion with which he stands identified, and to acquire a clearer apprehension of its purpose. It is neither eclectic in the presentation of its truths, nor arrogant in the affirmation of its claims. Its teachings revolve around the fundamental principle that religious truth is not absolute but relative, that Divine Revelation is progressive, not final. Unequivocally and without the least reservation it proclaims all established religions to be divine in origin, identical in their aims, complementary in their functions, continuous in their purpose, indispensable in their value to mankind.”
