Bill, I thought I would welcome you to CR. Your presence and knowledge is most welcome here. warmly, Sassafras

Hello Paul, I welcome you to CR, I see you are fairly new here. :D Yes. The Baha'i Faith Prophet or Manifestation of God, namely Baha'u'llah which is a title meaning the Glory of God, was imbued by God. "God is My witness, O people! I was asleep on My couch, when lo, the Breeze of...

Thank you Bruce for the website version of Ocean. This is the first time I heard of this new site. I went ahead and tried it out, but I have to say, I do like the downloadable version better, though. I can search on the downloadable version odd phrases and word combinations where on the...

Bandit, It was a pleasure answering your questions. I hope our answers have helped you concerning the original post by Wil, "liberal vs literal Christianity". And I hope the other "liberal vs literal" threads have added clarity for you as well. ;) Have a nice weekend, yourself. warmly...

Thank you, Brian. Can you delete the #9 post since now it just seems redundant. It would be appreciated. Sass

Re: Nudity as Art I have to agree. I have moved our conversation to the Lounge. This is the URL: http://www.comparative-religion.com/forum/showthread.php?p=58420&posted=1#post58420 warmly, Sass

Are there any plans to be in the Muskegon area this year? Maybe we can meet each other. Mick and I do most of our traveling for business in the summer, but I am sure we could agree on a time that would fit into both of our schdules. Something to think about :D warmly, Sass

People making a general, overall statement about any Manifestation of God not being a real Divine Manifestation would be irrating, but not a problem. It means, to me, that there is the potential of disagreement and the possibility of more differences in opinion about other topics. That is all...

Re: Nudity as Art Interesting. My husband says he knows a couple Comptons and a couple Keans. Small world. Sass

Do you mean the acceptance of the Manifestations or the denial of some of the Manifestations? Liberal or literal? Who's "pushing"? I think your question might be too vague for me. Please clarify. My first impression is people can either accept the Baha'i Faith or not. But changing the...

Re: Nudity as Art Wow! The Muskegon Township had formed about that time. Your family must have been within the first 100 non-native Americans to settle in the Muskegon area. Muskegon County didn't form until 1859 forming "only six townships including Muskegon, Norton, Ravenna, White River...

Bandit, I am glad that you were being a little bit humorous in your questions. To address your concern: Being "attracted to" the Writings of Baha'u'llah or the Teachings of the Baha'i Faith is a good thing. It is a compliment. In other words, I am saying, you agree with something...

Re: Nudity as Art Wonderful!! Have they lived here long? Sass

Luna, I didn't know exactly when Baha'u'llah revealed the Aqdas so I did some research: "Baha’u’llah revealed the Kitab-i-Aqdas around 1873, some twenty years after He had received, in the Siyah-Chal of Tihran, the intimation of His Revelation." Baha'u'llah passed away in 1892. He was...

Quahom, That was a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing. warmly, Sass

Luna, The Baha'i Holy Book is the Kitab-i-Aqdas, which translates to The Most Holy Book. The Kitab-i-Aqdas gives all of the Laws and Guidelines for Baha'is to follow. There are obviously many books or tablets that have been written by Baha'u'llah, 'Abdu'l-Baha, and Shoghi Effendi. (If...

Hello, I am an artist, myself. I appreciate many forms of art, and nudity is just one of the many forms. When I took life drawing in college, I was, at times, embarrassed over the subject matter -- the positions of the person(s), the direction of their gaze, or even the physical appearance...

OOPS!! Posted twice. Once is enough.

Bandit, Dear, dear friend..... I would like to begin my answer to your questions in one word, the type of one word that Shoghi Effendi is known for in the Guardianship of the Writings: No. In your explanation of "liberal Baha'i", I have to express me first reaction to your questions...
