Good to know it's not just me. ...and I'm glad I'm able to log in most of the time.

I LOVE the topic! :D "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...

Re: Why are we listed under "Modern Religions" (not "Abrahamic" religions) in this fo Baha'u'llah is very Abrahamic :) I think He is also descended from Zoroaster... or at least from the ancient kings of Persia. He was a prince, literally.

:) We're not looking for homogenity or uniformity, but we believe Baha'u'llah told the leaders of the world how to have world peace, and among the things that helps the cause of world peace is to be able to talk to anyone in the world, for everyone to be able to communicate. It doesn't mean...

A day for a year... 1260 A.H. is 1844 A.D. I know this is the Christian forum, but if you don't mind I'll give a brief... um... a little of what I think this means... The twelve stars I believe were the twelve Imams of Shi'ih Islam, hence the "thousand two hundred and sixty days" mentioned...

Earlier this afternoon (mountain time) I couldn't log in. Every time I tried it would tell me to log in, saying I hadn't logged in, even though I did, several times in a row. Anyone else have that problem?

It's the Icelandic pronunciation of a Hebrew name, David, which means Beloved.

If you look at a map of Europe, you'll notice that most of the countries have their own language... France speaks French, Spain speaks Spanish, Italy speaks Italian, England speaks English, Greece speaks Greek, etc. If everyone spoke the same language, you could easily, in my opinion, have one...

I haven't read everything in this thread, so I don't know if someone already said this, but I think language will really help world unity... "From the beginning of time the light of unity hath shed its divine radiance upon the world, and the greatest means for the promotion of that unity is...

"Consort with the followers of all religions in a spirit of friendliness and fellowship." -Baha'u'llah Yes, definitely, we want to be on good terms with everyone :) I think what I was trying to say earlier is that Mormons and Ahmadiyyas are a part of the world religions Christianity and...

Did you order it from bahaibookstore.com? I emailed them about the latest edition, so maybe tomorrow I'll get an email from them saying they have the latest edition... if you got it from them, BDS, then they definitely have it :)

I've noticed :) ...and thanks for the welcome everyone! Baha'is are about 1 in 1000 in the world... with the most in Asia and Africa, followed by South America... but the highest percentage of Baha'is are in the South Pacific... (I like statistics)

The latest edition of the Writings of Baha'u'llah, the compilation published in India, that is.

I wrote to the Baha'i Distribution Service in the United States asking about the latest edition.... (I just now emailed...) ...because on their web site, bahaibookstore.com it shows an older edition and I want to buy the newest edition... and may have accidentally ordered it from the United...

Why yes, yes it would :)

And like Mormons, who are part of Christianity and insist on being called Christians, Ahmadiyyas are part of Islam and insist on being called Muslims. Both are restorationist, seeing themselves as fixing Christianity and Islam, respectively. The Baha'i Faith is an independent world religion...

I agree it will take patience and the United Nations :) "He Who leadeth to true victory is come. By the righteousness of God! He is fully capable of revolutionizing the world through the power of a single Word. Having enjoined upon all men to observe wisdom, He Himself hath adhered to the cord...

Welcome! (We're both new to the forum.)

I'll give my perspective on the crucifixion in hopes that it will serve as a bridge of understanding between Muslims and Christians... I believe Jesus was crucified but it didn't kill Him... and I need to clarify... I believe the crucifixion killed His body, not His soul.... His soul is eternal...

I love it! That reminds me of three quotes, I hope you don't mind... "The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens." -Baha'u'llah "Ye dwell in one world, and have been created through the operation of one Will. Blessed is he who mingleth with all men in a spirit of utmost...
