The statement is wonderful, the point I was considering is how many will take that to heart, letting go of the self aspect? It is also a challenge for people of all Faiths that embrace the Oneness of God, how do we choose to embrace that Oneness? The hesitation I see in the statement is in...

This is a quote I have always liked. It has been quoted many times in many discussions. From a Baha'i perspective much of it mirrors what is found in the Baha'i Writings. I would offer though, a lot more can be read into it than was intended. I personally see it was stated, but worded to still...

I do not hear anything you offer back from an athiest mindset negating God. I just pass over it. I only hear the good things you offer about Love and unity, working together as one humanity. Just ro let you know. Regards Tony

Thank you for the OP, I will give some of my thoughts. Baha'u'llah has shown us how all the religions are from One source, the One God and that we are to make no distinction between any of the God given Messengers. We are to embrace the eternal essence of them all, the spiritual capacity we...

Since I have been a Baha'i the issue has not been raised, in any meeting I have attended, in a controversial manner. We have had discussions on the subject and given personal opinions. In the end, we have all accepted the statement of Abdu’l-Baha at face value, that, as the Administrative...

Great change is in process. Regards Tony

The way I see it, is that God is Love, and from Love the Holy Spirit is created and from Holy Spirit the Word is made Manifest. (This is all the pre-existing Messengers) I see this is the image we have been created in. The association we have with the Word is the gift, the ability of a free will...

Bow in, The most important question indeed. For me this Oneness is the embodiment of God’s Will. Baha'u'llah offers about God, "Say: Nature in its essence is the embodiment of My Name, the Maker, the Creator. Its manifestations are diversified by varying causes, and in this diversity there...

As per the Word as given by Jesus Christ, It is made real to those that are born again. This indwelling Holy Spirit is the Essence of all God's Annointed. I see this in all the Messengers and God becomes One in all the Names. It is Jesus that said the flesh amounts to nothing, that He would be...

It is really the story of Faith. God sends a Messenger, the majority are trapped in their own perceptions of reality, some get born again and see through the eyes of the Messengers. What Faith and which individual/s can claim they have not become self entrapped? It could very well be the world...

Happy Naw Ruz Arthra, we wish you all well and happy. Regards Tony

It is definitly perfect for its given purpose, In this reality. Regards Tony

The point is we are not what we are wearing, the apparel is a necessary part of our development and is perfect for its given purpose, the apparel will always become outworn. Regards Tony

That is in the Spirit and not the Flesh. Regards Tony

This shows us we do always need a God given interpreter. Just as scriputures offer, that God will always supply us with, will never let us alone. I am unable to compete with academia, I just go with logic and reason and all that is good. Regards Tony
