I would have thought it was Keturah. Aside from this no other religion has such a strong relationship with both Judaism and Christianity - Moses marrying a Median (aka Zoroastrian) and living among them, Cyrus, a Zoroastrian king, being lead by the right hand by God in relationship to the...

It should be noted that these prayers and quotes are chosen and offered by individuals. Also Baha'is often live in areas where there are too few to manage the economics of renting or owning space for such meetings and thus meet in eachother's homes. Sometimes the Feasts are offered with a...

Indeed and this can be a devastating loss sometimes. However at other times it is like taking a relaxing breath. I wouldn't say the living suffer the most. we have no means to measure the pain of those who pass on only to discover they have lived far too much of their life in vain or worse...

Re: They sought to poison Him... Learn something new! Also mentioned here!!

Re: Roles can conflict... I appreciate that change though I'm not clear it resolves the problems - Baha'is maintain a strong recognition of Abraham and uniquely claim a heritage from them all. Nor did I bring up the Buddhist presence in the Baha'i Faith board as a problem that needed...

I think you are speaking ofthis. My understanding that this an artists conception representing many of the ideas found in the theory of evolution while elaborating some things not specifically known just incidentally. As I understand it some details like this that people might fixate on...

Everything has within it a sign of God placed there for our guidance and training - and everything can also obscure our recognition of God. One of the greatest forms of this dualism is understanding itself - particularly in people we hold up as our guides based on popular appreciation. But...

Re: Baha'u'llah's Revelation: I generally agree but it's worth mentioning some of the details alittle more - Baha'is refer to Greater Prophets or Lesser Prophets on occasion. They are the same that Greater Prophets get Their Revelation from God, generally in the form of a Holy Book. Lesser...

Re: Baha'u'llah's Revelation: That is generally my understanding as well. I presumed the mention of poisoning was a general environmental statement (a poisonous situation).

If I may interpose slightly - adoptive parents may have no biological ties to the child, (other than the food the child eats every day of their life and medicines they take throughout their life, while in their care) I would not welcome this kind of characterization of their/our position...

Re: Roles can conflict... Without reference to intermediary posts about things of which I know not I suggest these two states - on the one hand respecting priority in some places and on the other respecting equality in other places - can have an inadvertent tension if they cross. The...

I beleive personal faith has an effect, sometimes called the placebo effect, which has it's own validity. There are also more passing temporary effect from simple impression and attention, a process of engaging one's focus, which can disperse some infirmeries for a time. I doubt rather much...

Sure. To both. :-) Being crazy is partly flaunting the norms of society - it seems irrational, but could be very sane. I might quible to the extent that I could screw up before I die and cause more suffering than is fair or than I can repair or balance with healing unity, but if I reach my...

I know a man who specifically chose his Faith because it didn't exactly fit him - it wasn't too comfortable, and asked him to change.
