Hi Dyno, Well, we believe we still have a living Guardian through his writings. There was no need to appoint a successor as he did the work of 10 if not 20 men during his lifetime. We have the guidance he left us for the duration of this dispensation. Yes, when he didn't appoint a...

Hi Paul, yes, 99% of movies promote sin etc. but that still leaves 1%. ;) those are the ones i like to watch personally. I prefer inspirational movies myself. I don't play video games. I think one of the major things i've noticed personally since i've been a Baha'i, is that all of my...

Dear Imran, Actually Baha'i's are encouraged to study Islam and Mohammed and His teachings so that we have a better understanding of our own faith. In regards to Jesus returning as Himself...what would it matter? None of us would recognize Him, unless you happen to be over 2000 years old...

Hi Laurie, no, you are not overstepping the bounds. imho. :) i believe that everyone of us should question our own understanding, and compare and relate all of these things together. Afterall mankinds understandings of things are constantly evolving, otherwise we would never make any...

Hi Imran, Of course you are correct. We are not capable of deciphering the Scriptures on our own. That is why we should always remain open-minded. In the Bible it states that the books will be sealed til the time of the end. imho, this means that no matter what we think we understand...

Hi Imran, nice to meet you. :) actually Baha'i's have no problem reconciling these views. These apparently divergent views are only divergent if we adhere to a strictly literal understanding of the scriptures in question. But if we can read them in a spiritual light, then all of the...

Hi cavalier, As a Baha'i, yes i agree. :) the differences are a result of our different vantage points, though we are all describing the same one reality, mankind has a tendancy to hold that our own personal vantage point is the only way it is, when someone looking at it from a different...

With loving gratitude to our Jewish friends in California, this email attests to our oneness in the Eternal Covenant of God... From: Rabbi Jeff Brown [mailto:jbrown@TempleSolel.net] Sent: Thursday, June 01, 2006 5:25 PM To: Rabbi Jeff Brown Subject: Etanu, from Temple Solel June 1, 2006 5...

Nicely put! :)

Hi wil, yes, i noticed that trace of arrogance as well. though i thought overall the article was rather insightful. :)

From an Indian newspaper: http://tinyurl.com/ztt82 "All the world’s major religions have active mystical strains, sustained by those who, in their hunger for God, penetrate through the creeds and beliefs of religion to arrive at its living centre, the personal experience of God. This is the...

Hi Paul, :) If i had to say one thing that convinced me...i would say that it was reading 'The Kitab-i-Iqan', (The Book of Certitude), http://reference.bahai.org/en/t/b/KI/ for it was through that book that i felt the power of the Word of God. In addition to that it was simply the life...

Dear Friends, If anyone is interested in the Baha'i explanation of the 70 weeks you can read it here. http://reference.bahai.org/en/t/ab/SAQ/saq-10.html?query=70|weeks&action=highlight#gr23 have a wonderful day! Love & Light, Amy

Hi Juantoo, yes i am well, Thank you, I trust you are too. :) ummm...well i'm not sure how much i can say here, i just realized i'm in the Christian section. As a Baha'i, i view Satan as our lower nature, we all have the capacity to do evil, it depends on whether we turn towards God or...

well said. :)

i agree. :) on the issue of predestination, i think it's more along the lines that God knows us better than we know ourselves, so though we are not necessarily predestined for anything inparticular, God knows what our choices will be before we do.

Hi Brian, Yes, i know. :) I guess i forgot to add (IMHO) ;) Have a wonderful day! -Amy

you're most welcome! :) and that my friend, is why i am a Baha'i...it all makes sense. :D

Hi Brian, In addition to my previous post... in regards to the 'Resurrection of Christ', we believe that the important aspect of the Resurrection is that it refers to the fact that no matter what was done to His body, they could not harm His spirit. And imho this is what He was trying to...
