Subject: Baha'i teaches heresy, blasphemy. |
Bible Note: Baha'i. Here is what Baha'i teaches and believes about our Lord Jesus Christ. You can read and see for yourself that this position is both heresy and blasphemy. "Jesus Christ: Baha'u'llah states, "Know thou of a certainty that the Unseen can in no wise incarnate His essence and reveal it unto men" (Gleanings From the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p.49). Thus Jesus cannot be an actual incarnation of God. Still, it is appropriate to say that Jesus Christ is God but not that God is Jesus Christ. He is one of many Manifestations sent by God to assist humanity in its spiritual evolution. "Christ's tomb is interpreted symbolically as the "tomb of unbelief." Thomas seeing the risen Christ in John 20:28 is really only seeing the "believers willing to suffer for Christ," (Preparing for a Baha'i/Christian Dialogue: Understanding Christian Beliefs, p.142). Abdu'l Baha says the resurrection, "…is a spiritual and divine fact, and not material…" (Some Answered Questions, p.104). The "raising of the body of Christ" was actually the coming to life of Christ's teachings in the disciples, the restoration of their beliefs and conviction. This is a critical Baha'i concept, as a physical resurrection would elevate Jesus above the other Manifestations by virtue of his victory over death" (www.watchman.org/profile/bahaipro.htm) (My thanks to Reformer Joe for providing us with the link to this website.)
