Hi. I was on a different thread where @Tony Bristow-Stagg was discussing theology with others.
I wanted to ask some theological and doctrinal questions specifically about Baha'i teachings.
One, what is the teaching of Baha'i on the afterlife / existence after death?
Also, how many world figures are considered to be Prophets or Messengers by Baha'i?
Do people outside the Abrahamic tradition count? Such as the Buddha, or Guru Nanak?
How about American strands of Abrahamic faiths such as Joseph Smith, William Miller, Ellen White, or Charles Taze Russel?
Or Haile Salassie/Marcus Garvey/Edward Wilmot Blyden?
If so, how do they fit into Baha'i thinking--
If not, why do they not?![Thinking face :thinking: 🤔](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f914.png)
