To say the Baha'i Faith is not strongly related to Islam isn't realistic. You have too many similarities. So I don't understand why you think it doesn't?And some Muslims think Bahai is a product of Israel, Russia or England.
To me, the Problem is, people do not investigate. They superficially judge.
Baha'is here have said the flood was symbolic, no real world-wide flood. Now you use it as if it was real. Which is it? Legend, myth, symbolic, real, local or world-wide? What do Baha'is believe about the flood story?
But even these other religions has spiritual beings, Archangels and such. Baha'is have their Concourse on High. But then you also have manifestations pre-existing too, don't you?...Henotheism appears to be a supreme God amidst a family of Gods, so a form of polytheism, in contrast to the Abrahamics. Having said that, Christianity is arguably polytheistic with its belief in the Trinity. The Baha'i Faith, Islam and Judaism are arguably more monotheistic...
So Jewish Scriptures say Isaac and Jesus and Muhammad didn't correct that error? Only Baha'u'llah? So the implication is that Moses knew. And had it right. That it was Ishmael not Isaac that was offered as a sacrifice. Then how did it get recorded wrong in Jewish Scriptures?We Baha'is believe that the latest Manifestation has it right. Those events occurred thousands of years ago so really, only God knows what really transpired. And He set the facts straight through His Representative.
I don't think the Quran mentions which son was offered up.
What do Baha'is believe about the flood story? Do you have a comment on that?You have the back end of a conversation that God Doeth as he Willeth.
Man always expects to find God with His own interpretations and always rejects the Messenger sent by God in Gods Way.

Is the Bible from God? If yes, then... Are the things in it facts?Anything that comes from God i believe is reality, truth and fact. I think that its man who's society is in such a mess and who is so confused that hasn't got his facts right.
I do not believe anyone has really experienced God who does not accept His Manifestation.
The Baha'is have explained away the Christian Trinity. They say Jesus only reflected God. He was not God.413 pages and our atheists still haven't been able to explain the Great Being away?

The NT says to beware of false Christ and then there's the Beast and Anti-Christ. So what does the NT say to look for? And what do Christians usually tell you they are looking for? Since I'm sure what you think the NT says and what they think it says are going to be different.
That's related to what I asked a few posts ago. What did Christ teach?
He didn't write the NT. Can it be trusted.
One Baha'i, I believe, said the apostles were infallible, but they weren't the only ones involved in writing the NT.
Of course the craziest thing they wrote, if the Baha'is are right, is that Jesus rose from the dead. Why would they write that knowing that it is them the apostles and the other believers that were the "resurrected" body of Christ?
Are the Holy Books, like the Gita, the Bible, etc, distorted or only the interpretations of those books?
Thanks, I'm so glad you're still responding to Baha'i posts on this thread. Like Christians, they take your Scriptures, out of context, and make them fit into their religions as proofs of prophecies fulfilled.
For a religion that calls for religious unity, and says that all religions are one, they find ways to push people from other religions away.

He claimed to be. He rose from the dead. That's hardly explained away.
We Baha'is are all learning and still have a long way to go and although we do try as much as possible to be flexible and tolerant however we can't compromise on our basic laws or appease every fad that comes along just for the sake of popularity.
So for instance our laws are rigid and strict regarding things like homosexuality and same sex marriage because it is positively harmful for humanity even though they desire it.

This is the same as saying God is knowable in Attributes but not in Essence.
To which we agree.
