I agree, I think the American Ideal is so selfish.

Zazaban

The proximity of the Revelations of the Bab and Baha'u'llah was prophecied in the Bible. `Abdu'l-Baha explains in Some Answered questions, page 56 that the "Second Woe" promised in the Revelation of John was the Bab, and the Third Woe was Baha'u'llah. The short duration between them was promised in...

JS predicted that if he lived to be something he'd see the face of the son of man, well whatever the year it came to was 1890 and that was the year that the first americans saw Baha'u'llah. interesting huh? BTW, was Abdul 'l Baha and/or Shoghi Effendi seers?

Zazaban

Exactly, the reason this is interesting is because 19 is an important number in the Baha'i Faith, and 19 is fortold in the Qur'an.

Zazaban

None of that was blasphemy. that was interesting

Zazaban

May I suggest having to type in one of those code things to register?

Zazaban

What you said was sheer blasphemy, but I was upset so I Apoligise if I was too harsh. I would like to hear what you have to say.

Zazaban

manjun, i'm not really sure about you. you seen to be teetering on covenent breaker status, if you're not one already. denying the need of prayer and that the Baha'i faith has a god is sheer blasphemy.

Zazaban

actually, thats kinda what I meant with "something wrong" not a mental disease, but having a difficult time telling right from wrong. Also, most of the games I own are non-violent like mario or simply like an interactive fairy tale such as zelda or the fightings for a good cause. or it's a MMORPG. o...

Zazaban

Thats interesting, because i've seen studies that have shown that violent games actually stop people from doing crime because they can do it in the game and not in real life, but I don't really think it affects you unless there's already something wrong, because the crime rate has been going steadil...

I've been playing videos games for years and I have incredible hard eye co-ordanation and hyperactive hands.

Zazaban

LOL. Nice topic.... I think we could learn much more playing games than studying!!! However, games are of secondary importance… if games like Age of Empires or others were stricter and detailed in history (or whatever culture or science they impart), it will be a funny way to learn. We have also re...

Zazaban

No, most christians I know, including Baptists, Evangelicals, Catholics, and that Speaking-in-tongues crowd, all believe in 'salvation", though some might believe heaven has "levels" as well, clouding the issue. Baptists, Evangelists and the like are protestant. I'm not really from a christian back...

Zazaban

I don't really come from a religous background

Zazaban

What i got from that seal of the prophet thing was that it only lasted untill judgement day. couldn't that apply to the coming of any Prophet?

Zazaban

Could someone give me a run though? I'm a fan of video games, not things like halo or GTA, but things like civilization or mario.

Zazaban

i'm sorry, but what do mormons have to do what Guru Nanak?

Zazaban

Could he have been a Prophet? If not a prophet? Just asking.

Zazaban

Ok, I find that somewhat hopeful. And with Iran recognizing Israel we seem to be making progress in SOME area. It is just a longing to visit those history places marked by the Messengers. Or to put it directly... I want to go... I want to go... I want to go... I want to go... I want to go... I want...

A common misconception is that the protestant christian version of salvation is universal. This is not true. I think protestants are the only people who follow this teaching of "being saved".

Zazaban

As far as I know Baha'is are allowed in arab countries. I'm almost 100% sure the United arab emirates are baha'i friendly, since they even have a hindu temple in dubayy. sounds pretty open.

Zazaban

Most muslims consider baha'is heretics, I don't think it's likely.

Zazaban

ok ,don't believe tihs anymore, but still up for debate. eon8. I think it's trying to tell us the world will end tomorrow. if you look it has a reference to a passage in revelations talking about the end of the world. EON8 is said to be the apocalypse. When you get to EON8 from a unverified site on ...

Oh dear. I don't think i was understood.

why did Baha'u'llah come so close after The Bab?

Zazaban

I've been trying to figure out why Baha'u'llah was actually OLDER then the previous Manifestation, The Bab. I came up with two possible reasons.

* some massive shift in how society works in the years from 1844 to 1863.
*The Bab's mission was unfinished.

Someone please help!

What Christ probably said was something the way of "I am a Manifestation Of God" and people took it the wrong way. Later the meaning got lost in this "Son" sutff.

Sorry, I was just happy i was able to spell it at the time.

I'll change it then.

Zazaban

Then I think i'll just leave that alone... too complex... even the UHJ has left it alone. I'm not going to risk independent interpetation.

Zazaban

I didn't mean to seem arrogant, I just read that it was only ear hair on his very forum.... If i've been misguided just tell me...

Zazaban

What I mean, does baha'i belive mankind should be without free will and just become drones with no mind of thier own?

Zazaban

I'm starting to get that idea.. could someone clairify on this?

Zazaban

I hate to break it to you but.....

doesn't that only apply to ear hair? Even Baha'u'llah had hair below his earlobe.

Sorry if i'm wrong.

Zazaban

Well i'm not even sure if thats what he really said? after all, for 300 years the word of christ was illegal, and for 1300 + years after that we have the void of order of the dark ages, the stagnation of the middle ages, and various tweaking of the bible to conform to whomever's teachings before the...

Thanks!

could anyone answer my other questions?

Zazaban

You live in the same city as me

Anything on any of my other questions?

Zazaban

Hi, I am very interested in this religion, I have speant years of soul searching and this seems right, I just need some extra questions answered. 1. What are all the Manifestations of god? (i'll just say M.O.G.)? I know of Joseph, Noah, Hud, Salih, the founder of the "religions of the Sabeans", Kris...
