We have a calendar of 19 months with 19 days in each month, and to fill in the rest of the year we have 4 or 5 intercalary days. On the first day of each month we have what we call a feast, which has three parts to it. In the first part, the devotional part we recite from our Writings. In the...

We have a choice of three obligatory prayers. A short one between noon and sunset, a medium one three times a day, or a long one once a day. Currently I am saying the long prayer. We also say Allah'u'Abha 95 times, which in English means "God is the most glorious". Before I say both of these I...

We won't have any power and control over world citizenship. Those who believe differently will have nothing to fear. The other religions will also have their influence too. You are making a hasty generalization based on the Christian past. It doesn't reflect the world as I experience right now...

There is an afterlife for Baha'is. Whatever gave you the idea there wasn't? We believe in heaven and hell. Heaven is closeness to God, whether in this life or the next. Hell is farness from God, whether in this life or the next. We have the guidance of God through Baha'u'llah and all the...

Let me quote the original passage first: The economic resources of the world will be organized, its sources of raw materials will be tapped and fully utilized, its markets will be coördinated and developed, and the distribution of its products will be equitably regulated. Shoghi Effendi, “The...

In the Baha'i Faith we already reconcile science and religion. Abdu'l-Baha said: The fourth teaching of Bahá’u’lláh is the agreement of religion and science. God has endowed man with intelligence and reason whereby he is required to determine the verity of questions and propositions. If...

Thanks for your help

By the governments of the world. I don't know for sure but probably there will be standards that will be agreed upon by the World Government such as the declaration of human rights by the UN after WWII. But this was not enforced and in this world government it will be enforced. Also one thing to...

No, you won't lose me, but I am frustrated.

All men being on the Universal of Justice is not a set back in freedom and equality and solidarity. We believe in all those things, as shown by other things we've said. It's just that the UHJ is all men. I don't understand why you fixate on that so much and exclude everything else we've said. As...

The message just appeared to the viewers and now they won't see it. I just tried to reply to the message so that they could see but once again it said it was invisible to normal members. What can I do? I don't like this system. I think you should put the post visible later in the order so people...

This is the quote that you didn't see earlier

The Baha'i Faith is a decentralized organization. Like Trailblazer says the UHJ is not running the religion. The NSA's and LSA's can do whatever they want to do. The only thing we get from the UHJ is broad outlines and encouragement. Also I wouldn't jump on one opinion about why the UHJ is only...

Sex feels good, and that is from our brain

First we investigate through the Writings of the Baha'i Faith and the historical lives of the central figures, among other things, to decide if we believe in Baha'u'llah. Baha'u'llah claimed to be infallible and so anything He teaches, including His laws, we should accept. It's not that some...

It was obvious to the Hands of the Cause appointed by Shoghi Effendi that Mason Remey could not be the guardian since he was not a family member. The Universal House of Justice was instituted by Baha'u'llah, but Shoghi Effendi had decided that more National Spiritual Assemblies had to be created...

Why am I sometimes getting the message sometimes that my post is invisible to normal visitors and sometimes not pending moderator approval? I have a post showing what Shoghi Effendi says about our vision of world unity and world government I wanted to show, but I am being shut out.

It is unknown exactly what the world government will be like exactly. I believe that it will be different in each country. But the rights of all people will be respected, including the right to have a say in what happens, and freedom to believe as one wants. I got this message earlier from the...

What the Baha'i Faith envisions is a federalized system of government like the United States, with only questions of international concern decided with the centralized government. Before I say any more let me quote from Shoghi Effendi: The unity of the human race, as envisaged by Bahá’u’lláh...

It is a combination of both. They have not been able to show that consciousness can be explained solely from the brain. There is no doubt there is mental illness caused by the brain. So it is obvious that the spiritual cannot solely explain consciousness.
