Very Christian, according to them.

Everything that exists is a part of the whole..... God.
That includes us as well as the tree in my back garden, and the starlings which sit in it. Everything in the Universe and beyond, and beyond.
Just close the door, you did not have to open it. We do not put a toe in the door.
Because Bahais are talking about Krishna and trying to spread falsehood.Cool. So why are you wasting your time talking to Baha'is?
What is the meaning of great beings? Are they 12 feet tall? We are all about the same with a thinking box above our body.As to the Great Beings, we see them as more than Men, ..
You ask a question and reply it yourself - and not incorrectly.@Aupmanyav mystifies me somewhat. I wonder why he's here. We're in the general debate section. We're all free to come and go.
I was going to suggest you might be interested in reading Sri Yukteswar regarding Kali Yug:
We have nine christian churches in my immediate enviornment, a church in my apartment building owned by the Church. We have all christian bookstores, a wall of christian books at the larger bookstores. (Ten books on hinduism. Three books on buddhism. Probably twenty secular trying to combine the religions with christian worldview) Bibles at every hotel bedside. You cant go two days without god bless you. A day in the apt complex itself.Building the Baha'i' temples in lands all over the planet is a toe in the door. Sending 'pioneers' to far off lands is putting a toe in the door. All proselytizing faiths do it, some are more persistent than others.
One book is one interpretation or belief. That's all. No single book is authoritative.Yes so you believe... The Maitreya is Buddhist and the book I suggested was the Anagatavamsa Desana ("The Sermon of the Chronicle to be") especially in this case the forward by John Clifford Holt.
Anagatavamsa Desana by John C. Holt (Ed.) at Vedic Books
I've had the same thought about myself many times. But them I read another myth about my religion, and I remain. Aup is a staunch defender against lies, and I'm really glad he's on scene. You think I'm blunt? Just wait.Cool. So why are you wasting your time talking to Baha'is?
I have always wondered about this passage on Magnatisim. I have thought since reading in in 1984, that Magnatisim based power source, will be the power of the future;
(Ten books on hinduism. Three books on buddhism.
Indeed, and Hindus have always just been overly nice, much to their detriment. Not smart to invite the wolf for lunch.The Jews knew how to drive a hard bargain.
Persia may have been backward but the whole world was not. Tell me of one such teaching that other people did not have.The world has come a long way in the last 200 years since Baha'u'llah was born. Many of His teachings that would have been considered unthinkable in nineteenth century Persia have become mainstream today.
The Yugas are a Vaishnava scheme, so I will go with them (though I am not one). Kaliyuga is for 464,000 years of which we have gone through 5119 years. Therefore the Kaliya avatara of Lord Vishnu will be around 45,881 years from now. The world will not fold itself at that time. There will be many more cycles of four yugas. The great dissolution (Pralaya) is far away, about 155 trillion years.There are many theories and interpretations about the Kali Yuga in Hinduism. Some folks don't give it a timeline at all, but by events. For example, In my sampradaya, the Kali Yuga is over on the last day a man is killed at the hands of another man. Lot's of folks put little stock in it at all, while others stick to the literal interpretations, often contradictory because of vastness. So there is no right or wrong answer. Aup will already be familiar with the above interpretation.
Here, in the bookstores it's always the other way around. More Buddhist than Hindu.
In Saiva Siddhanta, God is seen as having three perfections ... that is exactly one of them. "God Siva is all and in all."
Nope.It is clear from John 12 and John 13 that Jesus knew what was coming and it is what His Heavenly Father required of Him.
It was Caiaphas the high Priest and the council who sealed the deal as they considered Jesus a heretic and to have Blaphemed against God.
Matthew 26:57-68
Sure He caused a disturbance in the the temple. He didn't incite riots.
There is no evidence of Jesus having military intent to over throw the authorities.
Should all people leave places like Puerto Rico?
Before Baha'u'llah's "correct" interpretation, did anyone have the correct interpretation of Christianity?
OK, I understand that perfection.
Is it possible for you to show me the other two perfections in writing?
Let me know how that works out for you when the comet hits.Not necessarily. Nowadays with the right technology and funding buildings can be built to withstand all sorts of natural disasters.
I think there are many factors. One is mental illness, (the lone wolf), another is flock mentality and a place to belong. (ISIS) Yet another is age-old long term feuds (Tamil versus Sinhalese in Sri Lanka). It's not something i can personally relate to at all, but there are a lot of things in this world that make no sense to me. Tough to judge when we haven't walked in those shoes. Many of us in the west have lived only in ridiculously safe and friendly environments. It's made us too naive in many ways. My eyes were opened somewhat by association with the Sri Lankans, some of whom were refugees. Did you know there is a refugee campin India of Sri Lankans of about 100 000 people who've been in limbo for over 30 years? Long since forgotten about by the rest of the planet. But the real concern is in Yemen.
I complain about a poor driver or the temperature here. It's absurd.
