You follow a lot of people. Are you sure they are all going in the same direction?
So do Christians, they follow Jesus, Moses, Solomon as well as a host of other Prophets. Are you sure they all went in the same direction? Because the bible itself is contradictory.You follow a lot of people. Are you sure they are all going in the same direction?

If we check their historical stories attributed to them closely they may as well have been.Were Jesus, Moses and Solomon of different cultures, religions or traditions?
I have found this document to quite helpful in this regard:I follow Buddhas (although I only know about Siddhartha:- if people could explain to me the different Buddhas?)
I follow the Gurus
I believe in Jesus
Jesus was a hellenistic Jew? Since when? Well given that they were all from the same ethnic group wouldn't you agree that they are cultural related and have a shared tradition going back to MosesIf we check their historical stories attributed to them closely they may as well have been.
Solomon denied the afterlife in Ecclesiastes 9:5-6 , Jesus believed in a Hellenic afterlife and Daniel believed in a future resurrection.
You can't cut off a yak's head and put it on a headless cow's body and pretend it is alive. All you did was dismember the cow and the yakPure consciousness, Buddha nature, God, love are all one and the same.
The foolish get bogged down by superficial differences on the external, while the wise perceive with penetrating insight into the internal common core.
What makes them culturally related is that they shared a bloodline (which is nothing special), unless you mean that they are culturally related because people arbitrarily adopted them into one culture in which case why can’t others also arbitrarily lump them into one culture?Jesus was a hellenistic Jew?

They are culturally related because of the shared history of their ethnic grouping and the traditions that developed because of that history, it's called the history of the Jewish people. Jesus, Moses and Solomon all share in that history and therefore going in the same direction. Buddha and Gurus do not share in that history, their culture, traditions and history lie in a different direction. So is anti-semitism part of Bahai? Because you seem to dismiss what it means to be a Jew so easily, saying that it means nothing special to share that bloodline and therefore that history.What makes them culturally related is that they shared a bloodline
First of all I’m a liberal, second of all i’m not being anti-Semitic, how preposterous to suggest as much. What i’m saying is that bloodline does not relate to beliefThey are culturally related because of the shared history of their ethnic grouping and the traditions that developed because of that history, it's called the history of the Jewish people.

I see Buddha as the 'Enlightened One' I see Jesus as "Christ, 'the Annointed One'" As shuch the Buddha is Christ and Christ is the Buddha, they are Messengers of God.
It is the Messengers from God that can be seen as the Differnt Buddha. So Noah, Abraham, Krishna, Moses, Zoroaster, Buddha, Muhammad, Bab and Baha'u'llah are all Buddha's and they are also all Christ's.
They all point is to 'One God'.
I see a true Guru is a disciple of all their teachings.
In this day we are called to be our own Guru and make our own decisions about Faith.
