It is an interfaith forum after all. The walls are more like, um, bushes.... with lots of space to walk through. :)

Sometimes in another forum I say we can move the conversation into the Baha'i forum... so we can talk about the Baha'i Faith in the Baha'i forum. I go into other forums a lot, but easily lose track of the many, many topics in the whole of CR.

You're welcome here. Don't worry about not being a Baha'i. Baha'i Temples are nine-sided for the very purpose of welcoming everyone... nine gates, nine doors... which reminds me there's a Hindu scripture talking about a city with nine gates....a city that may refer to the Baha'i Faith in my...

I like the quote from Ecclesiastes you posted, but when I quoted you, it only quoted what you wrote. Daydreaming is totally fine, and night dreams are great. Do you remember your dreams at night? Last night I had a really good dream, I was sitting and holding someone in my arms. Maybe she was...

Baha'u'llah made historical prophecies that were subsequently fulfilled: 1. The Fall of Napoleon III 2. The Defeat of Germany (twice) 3. The Success of Queen Victoria 4. Sultan and Minister of Turkey warned 5. Breakup of the Ottoman Empire 6. Downfall of the Persian Monarch 7. Constitutional...

Jesus said that John the Baptist was the return of Elijah when asked why the Jews said Elijah must return before the Messiah can come. I don't have the quote, but it's in the Gospels that they asked Him why the Jews said Elijah must come first. He answered that He did come again. Elijah had...

“God,” ‘Abdu’l-Bahá Himself declares, “maketh no distinction between the white and the black. If the hearts are pure both are acceptable unto Him. God is no respecter of persons on account of either color or race. All colors are acceptable unto Him, be they white, black, or yellow. Inasmuch as...

Cool! I even posted a message there. There's also sikhism.com which, among other things, says: "Sikhs do not view God as a man in the clouds or any other form of human being, male or female. The concept of God in Sikhism is of oneness with the entire universe and its spirit. God is found not...

Hi Dream! Are you willing to continue the conversation here? I'm not sure how you define geek, so I'm not sure how to answer that. Is a geek someone who reads a lot? I read a lot and there a lots of things to read as a Baha'i. The Baha'i Faith isn't just for one kind of personality, there's...

Very interesting! What was Nanak's background? Was he brought up Hindu or Muslim? Do Sikhs also view their holy book(s) as a guru? I don't know much about Sikhism, just a few things... kind of like I don't know much Russian or Japanese, just a little bit.

I think one way to look at interfaith dialogue is to realize that all of us have more to learn no matter what our religion. One way to have interfaith dialogue is to see what we can learn about our own religion in the light of what others have learned about theirs. There's always more to learn...

So the founder of Sikhism was Guru Nanak, right? I think I read somewhere that he said he was a guru and not a prophet, but I don't remember where I saw that, so I don't have anything to back me up on that. I don't know how SIkhs regard their founder, whether they believe he was a prophet or...

I agree we are headed towards unity. I believe that the events prophesied in the Bible have already happened. The fact that we are headed in the direction of unity on a global scale shows, in my opinion, that the Return of Christ has, in fact, already happened. What's happening now are dual...

I highly recommend the Challenge of Baha'u'llah and the Prisoner and the Kings. Both of them give many examples that Baha'u'llah knew the future.

I like this post. I could change a few words and make it my own post :) I believe I didn't find the Baha'i Faith so much as it found me. Seriously.

I agree, love is real, and we can't see it, hear it, touch it, smell it, or taste it. In dreams we see without our physical eyes, we hear without our physical ears. In dreams we can taste, touch, and smell, I know I have. Well, I don't specifically remember smelling anything in dreams, but I...

"There can be no doubt whatever that the peoples of the world, of whatever race or religion, derive their inspiration from one heavenly Source, and are the subjects of one God." -Baha'u'llah "There is none other God but Him, the All-Glorious, the Almighty, the All-Highest, the All-Wise, the...

I agree, in order to have real dialogue, there needs to be respect for religious differences and tolerance for the beliefs of others. We're only responsible for our own choices, not for the choices of others. We'll be judged by our own lives, not the lives of others. The best way to teach...

The Qur'an is also evidence, great evidence, of God. If you take the time to read it... I've read at least three different translations... it's remarkable, inspiring, a treasury of wisdom.
