1 | What does Matthew 24: 28 mean? | Matt 24:28 | Morant61 | 23509 | ||
Greetings Ross! I am going to be blunt here, but I hope you don't take my question in the wrong way! Are you a follower of the Baha'i cult? The reason I ask is that this is a Bible Study forum. Anyone is welcome, but we try to be open about where we are coming from. So, if you are, it would be the curteous thing to do in letting us know. In Christ, Tim Moran |

Dear Tim, I am not sure what you mean by your expression "cult". My present understanding of the term is that for a system of worship or a religion to be classified as a 'cult' it would have to have a charismatic person as its Earthly leader. I do not perceive how you could apply that definition to the Baha'i Faith, not even the largest body of Baha'is (about 6 million Earthwide) which broke away and did indeed follow a small group of men and women, mostly Persians. I'm not sure I would classify any of those individuals as charismatic except perhaps Ruhiyyih Khanum, whose words were certainly given an excessive amount of attention by the vast number of Baha'is. She passed on about a year or so ago. I belong to the Orthodox Baha'i Faith, a very small group at present, which continues to recognize the Guardianship of the Baha'i Faith as delineated in the Will and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Baha' as contrasted with the large body of Bahai's, the heterodox Baha'is, which has no Guardian and thus no interpreter of Baha'i Holy Writ. Cordially, Ross |
