Kiwi, I respect your post. I have to say I don't agree with the things you suggest. I am not sure if I am qualified in giving very indepth information concerning your points of view, because of my lack of knowledge of the Islam Religion, but I'll give it a try. Since I have the Ocean search...

ISFP, Yes. Inter-religious and interracial marriages are excepted, and permission from both families are still needed if only one spouse is a Baha'i according to Baha'i Law. If, on the other hand, a couple is already married and one or both wish to become a Baha'i Faith, then permission is not...

ISFP, This is what I found when I searched "Islamic roots" through Ocean. It is not the best of example, but I am sure it will clarify something. (Commissioned by The Universal House of Justice, Century of Light, p. 58) Does this help? warmly, Sassafras

ISFP and I, Brian, I am going to find references to support my view, but I want to make sure everyone is set straight that the Baha'i Faith is an independent Religion. If a person can call Christianity a division or spin-off of Judaism, then I guess they could get away with saying the...

Ben57, Very interesting post. I have to admit, I see the whole of God's Religions as a jigsaw puzzle of sorts. If a piece of the puzzle doesn't seem to have a place then it probably has to be looked at differently. Well, I must be out of my mind, too, because I believe the entirety of the...

I, Brian, I was merely trying to convey there are different ways of looking at things. The term "end of the world" is prophetic in all the Religions of God in some way or form. With me living in a Christian-dominated society, I see "the end of the world" phase as a reminder of a hopeless...

Lunamoth, Thank you for your regards for the Bab. They were appreciated and very Blessed. About the Clergy thing... There are some Clergy which are good at what they do, and, yet, there are those that are not. I agree with you. Even if a person is faced with the Truth of God, they have the...

Lunamoth, First things first... My intensions for posting was not to imply I am more knowledgeable than anyone else about anything worldly or heavenly, but after re-reading my post, I can see how that may have been implied. I am just a lowly person trying to do right in this world and proclaim...

Greetings Everyone, I found some time to read some other sections and thought this was an interesting topic. What amazes me is with all the scripture-knowledgeable Christians in the world, there is no one Christian coming forth with the answers. There are, though, a ton of Christians with...

ISFP, Greetings and Allah'u'Abha. I understand your concern. I did some searching for myself and found a site that discredited the value of the Baha'i Faith. Unfortunately, these sites are not hard to find, and a person has to wade through the false sites to find the truthful ones. I would...

Sutras... Vajradhara, Question: How many translations are there and which ones are the most accurate? Do you recommend a certain translation? I did a few searches in the Ocean program, and when I searched the word "sutras" under the Baha'i category I came up with only one reference...

Pilgram, I see your perspective on dogma. I don't see how dogma is the source you want to look at for proof of your book. I think TRUTH would be a much better source. Also, you seem to take anything anyone has ever said and lived by and gived a mystic feeling which I don't really agree...

You Wrote: I do not find you too bold but I fear your request will go unanswered. If with all the definitions of "dogma" you cite, you are still unclear as to its meaning, I do not believe I can help in your understanding. I understand dogma and am very clear on how I define it. I was...

I like your post Susma. Overview: There are three religions that have something in common with each other. And if I can take it a step farther, "If there are three, then maybe there are more." The unity of all religions are important, and since three religions have found common...

Pilgram, It has been a while since I have conversed with you on your search. Reading your posts has been interesting, and I have at least one question that I would like to ask you. You have posted many times that you would like to take "agreed on dogma" and incorporate it into your new...

I guess it was going to happen to me sometime too... darn cookies. That was my post, not Mick's. Sass

Welcome Pilgram, You're question seems to be one of truth seeking. I hope all of us here are of some help with your search. What you are asking for sounds familiar. You might want to give the Baha'i Faith a look at if you haven't already. The Baha'i Faith excepts all the major world...

Actually we are in agreement. We see the Buddha as a Manifestation of God and His message from God. We give credit to the Buddha for our knowledge of the soul or the spirit within. What you wrote about Confucious and Lao-tzu are within the teachings of Baha'u'llah. I understand your...

Allah'u'Abha (God is most Glorious), Phyllis Not a stupid question. Baha'u'llah was a Persian and the Persians were great numerologists. For those interested, there is quite a history of the numerology of the Baha'i Faith. This, of course, has interest only to those that prescribe in...
