@Deeje Don't take this as what Baha'is believe. It's just my own personal view. It looks to me like Baha'u'llah is saying that He is the Father, in the parable of the vineyard. Seeing your post with "
No man can come to me unless the Father, who sent me, draws him..." highlighted like that, from the last direction where I would have looked for it, was like seeing the heavens open up and God Himself saying that to me.
But aren't you basing your assumptions about Baha'u'llah on his
claim to be the returned Christ? What did he produce as evidence of his claims? Jesus had the power of God's spirit to heal the sick, miraculously feed thousands of people, and even raise the dead? Not only did he do this personally, but he was able to pass those gifts onto his apostles who in turn passed them on to others. Once the Christian congregations were established, then the gifts died with the apostles. How can you even compare them?
No prophet from God would be a Gentile....all were Jewish.
Can you tell me why Baha'u'llah has an elaborate earthly tomb when Jesus Christ does not? It seems to me as if Baha'is put a lot of trust in the words of a mere mortal man. I will wager that most people in western nations have never heard of Baha'u'llah....but who hasn't heard of Jesus Christ?
Jesus said that "the world will behold me no more" and yet according to Baha'i teachings, he appeared again in the flesh, only to die of a fever. As the perfect, sinless, son of God in heaven, who was transferred to life in human flesh, Jesus would never have been sick, nor would he have aged or died from natural causes. Those things came with the sin of Adam.
Jesus said that 'salvation originated with the Jews', which came through the specific lineage of Abraham through Isaac and Jacob, not Ishmael. (not Islam) No biblical prophesy was fulfilled in the words or work of the Bab or Baha'u'llah......though I believe that Christ foretold that there would be false Messiahs.
You are free to accept him on face value but as a Christian, and a keen Bible student, I find no correlation of Baha'u'llah to Christ in any way. His credential do not stack up in my book. But to each his own.....
