    The Only Way

    Right! When Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, the life", we have to remember... who is "I" when Jesus is speaking? Is it a carpenter from Nazareth? Nay! It's the tongue of God.

    Buddism and the Baha'i Faith

    As Muslims believe that Muhammed was the final prophet, they feel Muhammed must fulfill all the prophecies of future prophets, including Kalki Avatar and Maitreya. They forget though that Christ is still due, and the Bible and Quran associate this with a "new creation" and a completely new age...

    Buddism and the Baha'i Faith

    Nope... noe the Arabic translations. It's nothing to deter us though... consider the parallel with Immanuel/Christ! Isa 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. This hasn't deterred some 2...

    Progressive Revelation and Prophecy

    Hi Bruce, While there are various passages in Isaiah that refer to Baha'u'llah, Isaiah 53 unquestionably refers to Christ's first coming. The Bahai sites that try to apply it to Baha'u'llah are following the error made by William Sears in "Thief in the Night". This point made the book lose...

    Buddism and the Baha'i Faith

    I recognise this statement from the BCI prophecy fulfilled site. It's sadly not true though, Husayn is Farsi for "Beautiful". None of Baha'u'llah's Names (both birth names and titles) translate into "Kindness". This doesn't take anything away from the proof though. Consider how the Jews...

    Progressive Revelation and Prophecy

    I'm quite familiar with this site... just like to point out that there's a few errors on it and it doesn't represent the official Baha'i view. For example, Christians should ignore anything there relating Isaiah 53 to Baha'u'llah, as this refers to Christ's first coming. For every bad point...

    Buddism and the Baha'i Faith

    Bingo!! You just hit on one of the underlying purposes of God sending forth His prophets. The Baha'i writings liken the appearance of a Manifestation with the Rising of the Sun above the Horizon, illumining the hearts of mankind. This is a true gem... hopefully someone will post a passage...

    The nature of Baha'u'llah

    Briefly, every religion associates the coming of the Promised One with mankind entering a new age. The Hindu's await the Kalki Avatar to appear and end the Kali Yuga (dark age) and bring about a Golden Age. The Buddhists await Maitreya. Zoroastarians await a "World-Renovator". Christians and...

    Buddism and the Baha'i Faith

    Hi Vajradhara, What sort of an event do you envisage that could wipe out the millions of Buddhist Books around the world, including those stored digitally? We're talking an event that would affect everywhere from the mountains of Tibet to the books in your own library. I think Dale's...

    Polytheism and Hinduism

    Many modern Hindu scholars who are returning to Vedic Scripture and translating the original Sanskrit are concluding that Hinduism teaches Monotheism! Many reformers, particularly during the mid-late 1800's introduced such teachings aswell as abandoning idol worship and other customs that are...

    The Rapture

    The rapture? Oh please... 2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 2Ti 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. A...

    Spoilt for choice really :) For starters: - For spiritual guidance and brief but powerful passages: The Hidden Words, Baha'u'llah The journey of the soul (mystical work): The Seven Valleys, Baha'u'llah Bahai Apologetics (proofs of His Revelation and more, quite heavy but powerful)...

    The nature of Baha'u'llah

    Sorry for the brief reply... Basically, we believe that Baha'u'llah, and all the other Manifestations of God (including Moses, Krishna, Buddha, Zoroaster, Christ and Muhammed) were like perfectly polished mirrors reflecting forth the attributes of God. In every age God ordains that One such...

    Baha'i texts online?

    Good news! Most of it is available freely online at www.bahai-library.org . Baha'u'llah spent some 40 years of His life in exile, much of which was in the vile and remote prison of Akka, reserved for murderers and highwaymen. Despite this, He Revealed over 100 Books and Tablets on diverse...

    Babism, Russia, and Islam

    On this occasion I will answer the specific statements made about the Bahai Faith on the cited page. At such an opportune moment, Bab with the help of the Russian Ambassador, Kiniyaz Dolgorouki, claimed himself to be the Bab (Gate) of Imam Mahdi (A Travellers Narrative, Abbas Effendi Page 4)...

    Buddism and the Baha'i Faith

    Just to add to that, when we compare the "signs" that would mark the era which the Promised One would appear, we observe some striking similarities. Just comparing Hinduism and Christianity we see: - HINDUISM In the Kali Yuga, wealth alone will be the deciding factor of nobility [in place...
