The Baha'i Faith

Machina

Bah?'u'll?h taught that there is one God Who progressively reveals His will to humanity. Each of the great religions brought by the Messengers of God - Moses, Krishna, Buddha, Zoroaster, Jesus, Muhammad - represents a successive stage in the spiritual development of civilization. Bah?'u'll?h, the most recent Messenger in this line, has brought teachings that address the moral and spiritual challenges of the modern world



Have you heard of this religion before? Any thoughts about their beliefs?

Could be "Bahai-bahaian". I don't know, I dwell in a cave-like abode. I'm a modern caveman, if you will and my jaw will drop in awe for the woman who's brave enough capable of verbally pulling me out of here... yea, just like a snake charmer so a winch can't be used.

These are the goals of Bahai faith:

* the abandonment of all forms of prejudice
* assurance to women of full equality of opportunity with men
* recognition of the unity and relativity of religious truth
* the elimination of extremes of poverty and wealth
* the realization of universal education
* the responsibility of each person to independently search for truth
* the establishment of a global commonwealth of nations
* recognition that true religion is in harmony with reason and the pursuit of scientific knowledge

I like all of these lofty goals. But don't like the organized religion part.

so this means bahai is promoting unity aka ecumenical movement w/c is tied to the ***** of babylon err i mean the catholic church.the bible says that we shouldnt have any connections with people who are not believers of our faith and we should be content of what was deliever once to the saints (jude3).if you want to really be saved GOD 's way and not a slick representation of an ecumenical movement w/c will soon strip all the religious distinction making it a one generic religion under the vatican heres how free gift .may God guide you to the truth!!!!;)

unfortunately, the bible is just a book.

If we had a third world war and only the Baha'i survived, would it be a cool future for them to be having?

Anyway, I kinda like their mission-vision... sounds Star Trek-ish, but I ain't converting just yet.
