Interestingly enough the Scripture in Jude 1:7 which talks about "strange flesh" (referring to Sodom et al) is in the Greek " Heteros Sarkos", from which we get "Heterosexual." Regardless of how you, knowledge, feel about Homosexuals, they are still people made in God's image and likeness. I...

Re: Comments on Zoroastrian and Persian roots: Actually the Gathas, which are the only documents we can say were authored by Zoroaster, have survived quite well. Unfortuantely what has also survived are the 'add-ons' which were created during the Sassanid dynasty and later all of which have...

Art, Thanks, been having trouble with the computer so my online time has been limited of late. I suppose we are talking past one another here. I see Shoghi Effendi as essentially human, his hopes, his fears, his trials and tribulations colouring the way he saw the faith, inevitably moving it...

Re: Zoroaster predicts Baha'i Zoroastrianism is indeed alive and well and most Zoroastrians would not consider Baha'u'llah as the return of Zoroaster. As well quite a number accept nothing other than the Gathas as scripture which places the Denkerd quite in the waste disposal. Kiwimac

And yet in judaism there are clear evidences of the impact of Zorastrian thought. The promotion / demotion of HaSatan from the court of Yahweh to an innimical being in his own right, the addition of the concepts of the immortality of the soul, a final judgement, heaven and hell all appeared in...

Re: The Baha'i Faith more democratic: Friends, Either we accept that the search for truth will take people in places we personally do not like or we admit that we like to talk about searching for the truth but in reality we simply mean "our truth", as encompassed by "our faith" and expressed...

BB says To assert the DH is not to insist that the text is unauthoritative. As I have said textual studies convince me that the DH or something very like it is indeed operable in the Hexateuch but that does not mean I respond to the text in a piece-meal fashion. As a Christian (of some kind...

What I need Ernest is some kind of reference to the Gathas, as I'm not at all familiar with the Bendwa references. Kiwimac

Ignore the names then, the essence of Zoroastrianism is "Good thoughts, Good words, Good deeds" Kiwimac

Interestingly enough the Zoroastrians are quite clear about a link between the Zoroastrian faith and the early Hindu Dharma. Don't really know enough about it yet to have an opinion one way or the other. Isn't it interesting that religious discussion can so often degenerate into this kind of...

IM, It is clear, I think, that the Baha'i faith is indeed an independent religion in as much as any religion is truly independent. As an example, Many of the comcepts central to Christianity, the saviour figure, the place of evil in the cosmos, the compassion of God are also central in...

No ImSassafras, What I said was that the Baha'i faith sprang out of Twelver Shia. Baha'u'llah was probably a Shi'ite before accepting the claims of the Bab but really that is comparatively unimportant. The Baha'i Faith, however, shows a clear line of descent from Shi'ite Islam via Shaykhism...

I have seen similar comments before & while I understand the socio-political need to differentiate the Baha'is from Shi'ite Islam nonetheless the fact of the matter is that the Baha'i faith springs out of 'twelver' shi'ite theology via Shaykhism and the Babi faith. [1] It's (the Baha'i Faith)...

Actually Quahom, The words " and sin no more" do not appear in the earliest manuscripts, they appear to be a scribal gloss inserted by someone embarrased perhaps by Jesus steadfast refusal to judge such an obvious sinner. More to the point, a Centurion comes to Jesus and says that his...
