Still, same problem. This information was allegedly given to Moses by God. Do Baha'is believe that to be true? The information was related to Moses as being factual, historical events. I'm more in agreement with Gnostic that it is religion myth. But Baha'i say it's true, but only in a symbolic fashion. So when does the Bible become actual, factual, real events? Or, is it still filled with exaggeration? Like Daniel's friends not getting burned in a furnace? Or, people being hundreds of years old? Or, Jesus healing a blind person? Yes, I know. He was "spiritually" blind and Jesus showed him the truth.Other than the Hebrew Bible and references from the NT, Quran, and Baha'i writings what evidence is there that any of it happened?
Specifically in regards to stories regarding Moses:
The crossing of the Red Sea has a spiritual meaning. It was a spiritual journey, through and above the sea of corruption and iniquity of the Pharaoh and his people, or army. By the help of God through Moses, the Israelites were able to cross this sea safely and reach the Promised Land (spiritual state) while Pharaoh and his people were drowned in their own corruption. The Egyptian History recorded even trifling events. Had such a wonderful thing happened as the partings of the physical sea it would also have been recorded. – Daily Lessons Received at ‘Akka, p. 45.
The Trouble with Miracles
Then what really did happen? Are any of the events in the Bible real, or are they all symbolic and never really happened?
