Re: Helping underprivileged youth... If they would take a minute to learn one thing about the Baha'i Faith, they should know that Baha'is are loyal to the governments of the countries in which we live. "In every country where any of this people reside, they must behave towards the...

You're welcome and thanks!

It's basically saying, in one sense, that good Jews who love God will be forgiven for not believing Jesus.... (you can say the same for any religion...) ..and it's saying that if you don't love God, on the other hand, if you blaspheme against the Holy Ghost (i.e. hate the light) then you won't...

Matthew 12:31,32, I posted this topic in the Baha'i forum... it basically says, in my understanding, that God will forgive people for denying a Manifestation of God... if they love God... what it says is it's not forgiveable to blaspheme against the Holy Ghost (i.e. hating the light) but it is...

What I see as common to every world religion is, among other things, this, that all of them have a Mediator between God and man. Christianity has Jesus between the Father and mankind. Islam has Muhammad between God and mankind, a Messenger from God. Judaism has Moses between God and mankind, a...

Just as people expect Jesus to come out of the visible sky, they often take literally what was said about the past... six days of creation? This world is much older than a few thousand years. "The learned men, that have fixed at several thousand years the life of this earth, have failed...

Purpose of CR? I say: "Consort with the followers of all religions in a spirit of friendliness and fellowship." -Baha'u'llah

Great topic! "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. The difference between the ordinances under which they abide should be attributed to the varying...

I mean, I'm saying they are inwardly more similar...

I'm not sure what you're saying... it sounds like you're saying it the other way around... that they are inwardly more similar and outwardly more different.

Has anyone here heard of Pure Land Buddhism? They believe in Paradise.

Exactamente! (exactly!) The Baha'i Faith is for unity. It is already an example that all the various ethnic and tribal groups of the world can live together in harmony, because in the Baha'i Faith we already do, and we come from 2,112 ethnic and tribal groups. "O ye that dwell on earth! The...

Cool! I sometimes use reference.bahai.org but I wanted to let someone else post it ;)

The dark clouds I'm talking about symbolize things that keep people from seeing the light.

Thanks Sean! I've had Ocean before, but my computer had problems with it. I use a WordPad .rtf file with the Book of Certitude, Gleanings, Tablets, and the Summons of the Lord of Hosts. What this topic reminds me of is a passage in the Book of Certitude: "How far from the grace of the...

I have no doubt the Buddha believed in the soul, and the Dalai Lama also clearly believes in souls... I've also seen ancient Buddhist paintings that depict sixteen heavens and sixteen hells. Think Dante!

Matt.12 [31] Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemyshall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghostshall not be forgiven unto men. [32] And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, itshall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy...
