I like you Lisa. You are making many sensible, reasonable points. Concerning Christians being martyred, Baha'is also are martyred, more than 20,000 during the time of the founding of the Faith and some recently. In 1982, 10 women were hanged because they believed the Baha'i teachings. One of those women was only 17 years of age. she was a teacher of small children. Before she was hanged, she kissed the rope. Your comment about letting one's life shine as a representative of the Lord is the best advice. The "castration" and "suicide" which you mentioned certainly demonstrates the conviction and possibly sincerity of those who carried out those decisions in their persons, however the routine, earning an honest living and letting the Light from the Lord shine, all exhortations of the Bible writer,Paul, is the True Path. That is also the Baha'i way, and even the adherents of the large body of Baha'is,the 6 million Earthwide, view that reasonable approach as the correct way, despite the fact that the administration of that large group has abandoned the principle Baha'i teachings in favor of a man-made system.

Ross Please do not attempt to defend Baha'I here in a Christian forum. First of all the Baha'i faith is most illogical. They say Jesus was a great prophet and one of many incarnations of of greqt prophets yet they deny what Jesus said. If that weren’t enough Baha’i also corrupts and distorts what Jesus said in an effort to make room for their created religion. Baha’is also claim the Bab is reincarnation of Jesus, yet Jesus and the angels both proclaimed that when Jesus returned all would know. Most people know nothing about the Bab or that he ever existed. The only real enemies and where your martyrs came from was from the oppression of Ayatollah Khomenini who wanted to rid Iran of all forms of Bahai. It seems like they don’t like having the Bab also claim he is a descendant from Muhammad. This guy does get around. Also your claim to have 6 million adherents is at best very exaggerated and at worst wildly exaggerated. Most books on cults and world religions don’t even bother mentioning Baha’i considering it to be so insignificant. But the most significant error in the their teaching is that man can’t know God directly, but only through the explanations of God messengers. Yet God tells us we are His children and can call Him Abba father. I think that is getting to pretty familiar. Also Jesus clearly said he was the incarnated deity but Bahai teaches Jesus to be a teacher. Which was he God or man? Paul taught that if any man came teaching a different gospel he was accursed and to be rejected. If you don’t have something more believable than the Bahai gobbley gook forget it. Bahai tries to be all things to all men yet Jesus said He was the only way, and that many would come after Him claiming to have the truth but they would be lying deceivers and we should look only for Jesus’ return.

Dear Ed, you wrote: "Paul taught that if any man came teaching a different gospel he was accursed and to be rejected." I visit different Christian churches most weekends, sometimes two or three churches during both days. I have visited many dozens over the years. I have encountered diametrically opposed teachings about the Lord Christ amongst those churches, yet I assure you that not any single one of those different groups believes it possesses a "different gospel". Not any one of them, neither as individuals nor as a group express any sense of fear that they might be 'accursed' or 'rejected'. Each group remains fully persuaded that it possesses the true Gospel, and most of them demonstrate that conviction by continuing to pay their Pastors to preach to them month after month, year after year. Cordially, Ross |

Ross I submit to you if you visit Christian Churches they do not "diametrically" oppose each other in basic Christian fundamentals. The holding of orthodox Christian fundamentals is the defining points required to be called Christian. If you visit churches that oppose each other on these defining points then your visiting churches that are simply not Christian. They may carry the name but they are Christian in name only. Can/will you give examples? EdB |
