Thanks! :) You reminded me of what Gandhi said... he called the Baha'i Faith "a solace to mankind."

Everywhere! :)

I agree. Here's a quote you reminded me of, I hope you don't mind. "To every discerning and illumined heart it is evident that God, the unknowable Essence, the divine Being, is immensely exalted beyond every human attribute, such as corporeal existence, ascent and descent, egress and...

Yes, yes, yes, yes :)

Cool :) My favorite bird is the Hyacinth Macaw... they're like parrots, but blue and gold, mostly blue.

Who would you imagine are the couriers of the Cause of Baha'u'llah? "Day by day the majesty of Christ grew in splendor and effulgence. Therefore, my purpose is to warn and strengthen you against accusations, criticisms, revilings and derision in newspaper articles or other publications. Be not...

Greetings Christina! :) This bird that represents every religion... I picture a very colorful, tropical bird.... or maybe a starling.. they're black, but they have tons of colors all over the black... they're extremely colorful, and yet black :)

What I like about having a common language is that so many different people can communicate directly. At the very simplest, this forum is for communication... and communication is a step in the right direction... a step towards understanding which leads to love and fellowship. Which reminds me...

Thanks Sean! I was thinking of that quote! "There is an Unborn, Unoriginated, Uncreated..." In my opinion, that is God... God is the Creator, everything else is created.

I'm pretty sure They all say They are the Way. When a Manifestation of God, a Prophet and Messenger from God comes to mankind, He is the Way to salvation, salvation and advancement for civilization and the individual members of it.

Anytime!

I think this topic needs a passage from Gleanings :) "That which thou hast heard concerning Abraham, the Friend of the All-Merciful, is the truth, and no doubt is there about it. The Voice of God commanded Him to offer up Ishmael as a sacrifice, so that His steadfastness in the Faith of God...

God, trinity, Jesus, hell, original sin, Christianity vs... Okay, I'll add... :) God is the All-Glorious, the All-Powerful, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise. In Latin terminology.. Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnipresent. Trinity can be explained, in my opinion, by comparing God metaphorically...

I love that Beatles song! Hare Krishna! I've read that the Greek word for Messiah (Christ) comes from Krishna.

Also refer to 'Abdu'l-Baha's explanation of Matthew 12:31, 32... what it means to blaspheme against the Holy Ghost.

I was thinking of those two definitions of salvation also. For the first, I think of salvation as loving God. If you love God you are saved. For the second, the Baha'i Faith is here for the salvation of civilization.. for all of mankind, for the unity of the human family and establishment of...

Interfaith as a Faith... :) I don't know if someone already mentioned this, but in the Baha'i Faith we believe the divine origin of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Zoroastrianism, Hinduism, Buddhism... which means we believe that Abraham, Moses, Jesus Christ, Muhammad, Zoroaster, Krishna, the...

Omnipresent Spirit :) Here's a quote from Baha'i scriptures that I love: "There is none other God but Him, the All-Glorious, the Almighty, the All-Highest, the All-Wise, the All-Pervading, the All-Seeing, the All-Informed, the Sovereign Protector, the Source of eternal light!" -Baha'u'llah

In the Baha'i Faith we believe there is only one God, and that God is the same God of every world religion... the God of Abraham is the God of Moses is the God of Krishna is the God of Zoroaster is the God of the Buddha is the God of Jesus Christ is the God of Muhammad is the God of the Bab is...

I like that metaphor, too, and one that goes like this... first the foundation of the house had to be built, then the walls, then the roof. The builders of the foundation objected to the builders of the walls, saying that the foundation was complete and could not be added to. The builders of the...
