I think I might have identified as a Baha’i too preemptively. I agree with the teaching that religion is unified, and no other religion really teaches that, from what I’ve studied. I was raised Christian but no longer felt comfortable identifying as one as I felt other religions were from God as well, which is a frowned on thought in Christian circles.
I interpret the Bible too literally to be a Baha’i I think. I believe in a young earth, for example. And I’ve been pondering the resurrection for a good part of my adult life, I’ve come to a different conclusion than the Baha’i faith teaches. I’m just not ready to accept that Baha’u’llah fulfilled the Day of Judgment. I think the Day of Judgement is still to come. I will continue reading the Baha’i texts as I study religion, I’ve yet to read much.
If I had to identify with a religion, could I say Christian? Christians tell me that I practice paganism because I listen to the words of Buddha and Krishna. That is why I identified as a Baha’i, I felt it was the only accepting religion. Again, I believe in many of the core concepts of Baha’i faith, which is why I initially changed my identification to Baha’i. I’m just not sure if I believe in the prophet, but this is all very new to me.
I wanted to apologize to the Baha’is on here for saying “Yo what’s up I’m one of you” and now being like “nah”
I think we are unified in purpose. Just theologically I’m on my own I think. if I was asked what religion I am, I’d want to say Baha’i, or Christian perhaps, but in order to be honest I would have to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ because I’m not sure. Thanks for listening
