The key here Thomas is that it is not me that gave the Message from God, that corrected some understandings of scriptures.
The point here is Abdulbaha said that the prophecy of Isaiah could not have applied to Jesus, because Jesus was not of the House of David. If he got this from the Bab and Baha'u'llah, then they, too, are wrong.
Point 1: Joseph is of the House of David (Luke 1:27) and Joseph married Mary, so she, by marriage, and Jesus, her son, become members of the House of David according to Jewish law and custom.
Point 2: Luke seems to have been a confidant of Mary, he tells her story, and it's traditionally upheld that the lineage in Luke is her bloodline, whilst Matthew's is Joseph's, so again, Mary was of the House of David from her father Heli, and ergo so is her natural-born son.
Point 3: The angel declared: "He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the most High;
and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father; and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever." (Luke 1:32)
Point 4: "And Zachary his father was filled with the Holy Ghost;
and he prophesied, saying: Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; because he hath visited and wrought the redemption of his people: And hath raised up an horn of salvation to us,
in the house of David his servant" (Luke 1:67-69).
Point 5: Both Matthew and Luke were aware that Jesus was a virgin birth and that Joseph was nominally, not biologically, his father:
"And Eliud begot Eleazar. And Eleazar begot Mathan. And Mathan begot Jacob. And Jacob begot Joseph (this 'begot' is the 39th in the list, but pointedly Joseph did not beget Jesus) the husband of Mary,
of whom (Mary) was born Jesus, who is called Christ" (Matthew 1:15-16)
"And Jesus himself was beginning about the age of thirty years; being (as it was supposed) the son of Joseph" (Luke 3:23)
So not a correction of scripture – just flat wrong, an error.
If you want to correct me, go ahead. but don't trying the 'scripture is corrupted' message, that's a self-serving statement, unless you have evidence to that effect.
It was the Bab and Baha'u'llah that gave these Messages. So as Jesus Christ offered, we must first determine if they are true or false prophets. A good tree does not produce bad fruit.
Then the evidence would suggest yours is a bad tree and they are false prophets, of whom Jesus gave ample warning.
What is short sighted about the oneness of humanity, the oneness of God? What is short sighted about the Love of all creation and the desire to look after that creation and serve all our brothers and sisters, of all races and gender?
Nothing, but that's not what I'm talking about, and you know it. You're just deflecting the discussion away from the point.
