The Bah'ai Faith

[shunyadragon]

I have found some splinter groups. Mainly they are arguing against succession. But again, from what I read, the succession is in no question if you read the will of Baha'ullah.

Splinter groups number in the hundreds, at best a few thousand

I am a bahai its wonderful it is not a sect of islam from the beginning. It was an independent revelation and yes there are small sects I've read about but they are considered covenant breakers by the true bahais the covenant being that under bahaullahs dispensation there would always be a guiding person or body to lead and it was laid out very clearly from bahaullah to his son abdul baha to shogi effendi to the election of the universal house of justice if you have any questions I could help you

the want of faith

Interesting statement. It is probably true that most who believe many different things, do so for 'want of faith.'

Actually the score is two no and one yes due to my error.

[shunyadragon]

<3. Most of the world's faiths have been founded by "Manifistations of God" (i.e. Buddha, Jesus, etc.).
4. No one of these Manifistations is more significant than the other.
5. Today world is living under the revelation of God in Baha'ullah.>

In other words:

"We believe everything."

"Then you believe in Jesus?"

"Yes."

"Then you believe that Jesus is the only way to God?"

"No."

"Then you don't really believe in Jesus, do you?"

"We believe everything."

Now I'm sure this is a very simplistic examination of the Ba'hai faith, but that's how it sounds to me when one attempts to homogenize faiths that are unique in their claims.

This dialogue is from the puppet on your knee, and does not reflect anything that the Baha'i Faith.

Welcome!
I'd like to point out that "Baha'i" is one of the options in your profile, by the way. (The thing you currently have listed as Christion(other).)

Christians are quick to call other religions cults yet there religion sprang out of pagan beliefs. There are those that follow Yeshua and there are those that worship there book. God is transcendent and beyond any book. Books are only tools that can help lead one to them self then to god. For the body is the temple of the living spirit of God.

Yes they have alot more in common with the sihks than can be seen at firs glance. OnKar or God ,comes from the idea that there is one divine source for all that is. Abdul Baha of the Bahaii has taught that there are two kinds of spiritual laws. The social spiritual laws change with cultures and times.they evolve hopefully for the better. Then ther are the eternal spiritual laws These are constant and unchanging. In our physical world I believe gravity is one of the eternal laws.
