Whether Jesus, Moses, Mohammed, Baha'u'llah, etc. spoke the truth or not is up to you to decide for yourself. And if you say "it's all lies and falsehood" who am I to say you are wrong? How could I claim that my particular opinion and understanding is more correct over yours or anyone else's...

It is the nature of science that even the most accepted fundamentals can and have changed time and time again... how can we arrive at a further understanding other than by modifying the current ones... a new understanding in a field that is quite the opposite of the prior understanding doesn't...

I was talking about myself. I don't speak as a Baha'i: just myself and my opinions.

Right, my scope of 'religion' when saying that wasn't broad enough... I was speaking of world major religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, the Baha'i Faith...

We were created this way, with free will and choice, intentionally. God doesn't really exist in a place or area (whether physically or conceptually) from which He could be receded. You ask one person "where is God?" and they say they don't see anything but God in the world and in themselves...

India has done an incredible job. Apologies for the attitude. :-)

Baha'i Faith is in line with Abrahamic monotheism, and the Prophet-Founder claims to be the latest in line of Abrahamic prophets. But sure: understandably it's the discussions within these forums that matter and not so much the categorization. ReligiousForums.com lists the Baha'i Faith under...

All valid points. You are right, it's not so simple as I made it out to be---a person who grows up in a fanatic group might come to believe that the only way to salvation or heaven is to blow himself up with a suicide bombing and take out as many 'enemy' bodies as he can... this belief may be a...

It is my understanding that since all that is, was created by God, there couldn't be anything that He is not. Now when it comes to things that aren't things, like terrible actions of humankind, even when I act completely against what I might consider to be God's will, He gave me the choice to do...

Historically speaking, the effect of every religion on human society, when it comes to considering the effect of the teachings of the Sources of every religion, has been a positive one and cause of tremendous growth in society in every instance. In time we, humanity, however tend to distort...

India and many other countries in the third world don't really have the healthcare infrastructure that would allow them to have a vaccination program as effective as in the US and other developed countries. More developed nations are responsible for helping less developed ones get up to speed...

Well humans are capable of believing... and we can choose what to believe entirely. Our beliefs can evolve or even change entirely throughout life. Since believing is one of our attributes as human beings, sure one might choose to believe in magic just as well as they might choose to believe...

Correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding is that Baha'u'llah is the latest of Abrahamic prophets making the Baha'i Faith the latest of Abrahamic religions. Wouldn't this sub-forum be more appropriate under Abrahamic Religions versus Modern Religions?

These are human problems, and yes now that there are so many of us doing things on such massive scales... we really need to become united as the one race that we are before any of these problems can truly be tackled... a house divided falls.

Progressive revelation. :-)
