I read some "Bah-Humbug" literature once, and was struck at how simple-minded it seemed.
Whatever.
I recall that Jesus said that if we were told later that He is in the upper rooms, don't believe it, and if He was in the desert, don't go there. "Bah-Humbug" has nothing to add or improve or edify, except perhaps, to hold a mirror up to us so that we can see what is lacking (like love, etc) in our own religious practices.

I dono but if bahai' is true( which means Islam is true,Bahai' is something like a continuation of Islam,correct me if I am wrong) ,why would Prophet Muhammad said that there are no prophets or apostles after him??? And that the Qur'an will remain uncorrupted??? I mean if G-d really wants to introduce a new religion ,Prophet Muhammad wouldn't say there are no prophets or apostles after him right??Btw,whatd oes Bahai' says about things prohibited in Islam for example drawing animate figures??edit on 26-1-2012 by QuantumSeeker because: Explain furtheredit on 26-1-2012 by QuantumSeeker because: (no reason given)edit on 26-1-2012 by QuantumSeeker because: (no reason given)

Lol. No Bahai tells you to look in a mirror and see that you are God. Its ecumenical universalism and is blasphemy. That one world religion Revelation talks about? It's Universalism...the doctrine of "all roads lead to heaven" and it's Luciferian to the core.

As I have always said, I do not believe in Satan, but I do believe there are a lot of things out there that would love you to believe that THEY are Satan......

Kind of like being a fringe Christian. I know God is real.
I know that it is not so much the religion as it what is in your heart.
Makes one feel alone sometimes having this point of view.

Q: Do Baha'is believe in Satan? A: No, Baha'is do not believe in the existence of any Being who is the embodiment of evil, or in evil as an independent force. In the Baha'i Writings, the terms "Satan" and "satanic" are used metaphorically to refer to the lower, base, selfish side of human beings, in contrast to their higher, virtuous, selfless side. Thus, the capacity for good or evil originates in man himself.
This is my main issue with the Baha's faith, if you have an enemy who's sole goal is to kill you spiritually, and you do not acknowledge that enemy, you are doomed to failure.edit on 26-1-2012 by Blue_Jay33 because: (no reason given)

2 Peter 3:16 He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
Blessings on you, sacgamer. I'm glad you're on this board, and these forums.
You are a Christian when you stop following the church and start following Christ. Which is the truth in you the message on your heart.

2 Timothy 4:3-4:
For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

Obedience to government and non-involvement in partisan politics unless submission to law amounts to a denial of Faith
...erm, no thanks then.
