Give it to Wil...Wil will post it...Wil will post anything.
Ok, I am a just a simple spectator in so much of this detail religious introspection and examination....but...
Progressive Revelation to me is obvious... Not in the Baha'ullah way, that "hey we were the culmination and agreeing with all that came before" (although I do like that unlike most of our religions they say that they are in a long line of prophets and their are more to come) This to me is reminiscent of Charles Fillmore's ...this is what I am preaching today based on current knowledge but...."I reserve the right to change my mind as new information is presented"
That to me seems self evident hopefully with all of us.
Back to Progressive Revelation...
Duh! Doh!
In science and spirituality I see the latest and greatest standing on the shoulders of the people who did the work before us.... we take the good and run with it...and I just wish we'd take what is no longer sensible and toss it in the trash....
Time for a blockchain religion revolution!!
But beyond that... and for those that say...what has science got to do with it?
There are tons of things we couldn't see, and couldn't understand therefor we made bad assumptions based on current information.
Then came telescopes and microscopes and wallah! Whole new worlds and understandings were developed.. A progressive revelation...new revealed information. Which completely changed assumptions which were the best of their time period...
I see the same of Greek, Roman and Norse G!ds, Astrology, Sun worship and such.... While that might not sound so interfaith...why can we so easily relegate some ancient thinking to mythology and hold onto others?
In no way am I implying that some of the thought, some of the quotes, some of the beliefs, some of the passion of the ancients is not applicable today and maybe even forever....IT IS...just not ALL of it.
I return you now to your regularly scheduled programming as those with education, knowledge, serious study and the brains, wisdom and succinct eloquent writing abilities take over...
