Mick, hi! As the time approaches, you'll typically see informatory articles offering group rates on flights and hotels, along with information about whether passports or tourist cards will be required. (BTW, I was also at the Panama temple dedication. And the biggest mistake I ever made was...

Hi again! The key, I'd say, is that all this is not going to happen by itself: it doesn't come floating down on a silver platter! Rather, it's something that WE OURSELVES must construct, gradually and carefully, over time. It's as the famous phrase says (which, BTW, happens to contain a...

Why would He? John the Baptist was Elijah, as Jesus Himself stated. Peace, Bruce

Sigh. Mere equating of a major human-rights issue (denial of religious freedom) with mere partisan politics, and hence an apparently convenient cop-out. Bruce

Which is fine, and we commend you therefor! :-) Best, Bruce

On the contrary, I've never seen you comment on the topic of the persecution of Baha'is in Iran at all, and as I just pointed out, you've apparently been avoiding the subject when we've raised it! So I would be most interested in seeing you actually post a comment / statement stating your...

[/I] Imran, your complete failure to respond to this point--indeed, your apparent avoidance of it!--has been yet again duly noted. :-( How extremely sad. Bruce

And Scott, another unpleasant example of the same thing is someone I knew who insisted on saying "BA-high" instead of "ba-HIGH," presumably also as a put-down. Fortunately, most folks don't stoop to that sort of thing. Regards, Bruce

You're quibbling. Music is eminently acceptable before God, as the Baha'i scriptures strongly affirm! And when I asked you where in the Qur'an it said Muhammad had opposed music, you were unable to produce a citation. So the condemnation of music is clearly a mere human addition to Islam...

Greetings. Except, of course, when you want to trumpet human-originated ideas like the claim that Islam prohibits music when the Qu'ran says no such thing! Once again, mere human traditions don't qualify as God's Word. And indeed, in the Baha'i Writings God has made clear the high and very...

So am I! And I suspect that yet again, my question challenging Imran's claim that Muhammad forbade music and asking for a citation in the Qur'an is going to be met with deafening silence. . . . :-( The quote above are just a few, BTW, of a whole bunch in the Baha'i scriptures which...

And I notice, Imran, that nowhere did you deny or refute my statement that you run an anti-Baha'i website. Posting a lot of side-topics IS NOT a refulation, please note! Q. E. D.. Bruce

Hello! I would be most interested in seeing where in the Qur'an this is! NOT the Hadith: the Qur'an. (And if you can't produce such a statement, please feel free to retract the statement.) Peace, Bruce

Not to mention which, how many towns (many of them with lots of poor folks) have dozens and dozens of competing churches, each usually with its own more-or-less expensive building (or with the same in the planning stages)? Whereas if we're lucky, we generally have at most one Bahai' center...

Hello. Please remember that we don't call you anti-Baha'i because you ask questions: sincere questions are always most welcome! The more the pity, the reason you are viewed as anti-Baha'i is because YOU run such a web site whose purpose is put-down and attack of the Baha'i Faith! :-(...

Greetings! Very simple: By understanding that in times past when people were less sophisticated and knowledge less general, concepts were often explained in simpler terms than can be used today. This is in no way a put-down of earlier civilizations and cultures, just a recognition of the...

Greetings redux, Postmaster! :-) As Amy already pointed out, these building are to last a millenium! So when you divide their cost by their lifespan, they're really quite a bargain. Further, the Baha'i temples (currently seven with an eighth currently under construction) are our gifts to the...

Uh, much as I hate to disillusion you, Scott, it's on the west shore of the lake! (There isn't much of a "north shore.") :-) Bruce

Greetings. As I trust is obvious, I am in no position to say what is or is not authentic Baha'i or Babi scripture--nor is anyone else here to the best of my knowledge! So there's really no point in asking the question here. Peace, Bruce
