    God Qualities

    I see it is all in the way we choose to look at life. If we are spiritual beings, what is it to be spiritual? This world matrix is the perfect environment to acheive that aim. I see it is our own actions and thoughts that keep us from looking at the bigger picture. Regards Tony

    I see it as a metephor that can aid us to undestand submission and sacrafice. The sacrafice of Christ and of the Bab are likewise events and stories we can learn by. In more recent times, the Sacrifice of the Son of Baha'u'llah Mirza Mihdi and the power that released, is another great...

    I see It was lesson of obedience from Gods chosen Messenger told in Metephor. I alao see there is a vast different between God guiding His Messenger to impart spiritual wisdom unto men and delusional men thinking God has spoken to them to commit an act of murder. A recent lesson on sacrifice...

    The story is about submission to God, it had deeper meaning. In other writings (Quran & Baha'i) this station is also given to Ishmael. Regards Tony

    God Qualities

    I can agree, but I would also see that all that needs a perspective, as to understand how it is talking to us. I see the essence of creation comes unto being through the Word, thus we must know what is being said. I see that Word is Gods Messengers, thus if we want to undersand all of this, it...

    God Qualities

    The standard for God is God's chosen Messengers, no other person speaks from God. Thus we have Noah, Abraham, Krishna, Moses, Zoroaster, Buddha, Jesus the Christ, Bab and Baha'u'llah. All those Messengers have protected Children. The age of maturity is when we can accept we are responsible for...

    Not at all, as we are all very capable of making the choice. Thus now one can understand how the lack of not making that choice, has been warned against in all scriptures. Regards Tony

    God Qualities

    There is a thought that all Good is from God and all evil is from our own selves. Thus Love is of God, all that is not love is from our own selves. Likewise Mercy is of God, all that is not mercy is from our own selves. We are asked to find God within, with His laws, in that way we do away with...

    Bible, literal or not

    The Bible is very much a spiritual guide. Taken literally will render many passages out of context, clash with scientific understandings and thus become mere superstition. An example is when clouds are mentioned. We now understand clouds are vapors that rise from the earth, accumulate and...

    An Alternative Explanation for Seals 3 from Revelation

    I see this as an interesting topic as it ties deep into biblical prophecy. Not only do we have to determine what the seals may mean, we also have to consider who has the power to open them and give them meaning. Thus the seals are closed in Daniel and it is in Revelation they are opened. I...

    Believers in other faiths: How do you keep faith?

    @Meteorim From a Baha'i Perspective 'Christ' which means 'Annointed One' is the a 'Station' of the Holy Spirit which our One God gives to all God's Messengers. They are all born in this world, but they one and all are Annointed with the Holy Spirit. Thus a Baha'i sees that Christ is Noah...

    An Alternative Explanation for Seals 3 from Revelation

    @Matt5 As some do not have access to the post you started called "An Alternative Explanation for Seals 3 and 4 from Revelation", it would be good if you can post here as well. I see many may have thoughts that we could add to the topic. Regards Tony

    I.S.I.S has Nothing to Do With Islam?

    I see ISIS is a manifestation of self motivated greed in all its worst forms. One of the worst being the thought that paradise awaits a tyrant. I also see it has naught to do what I think as it is God that knows the Beginning and the End. I think it will takes decades to unravel the Truth and...

    I.S.I.S has Nothing to Do With Islam?

    The wisdom of this is found in this passsage; Revelation 11:2 to 12 It is Islam that this is talking about, the 2 Witnesses are Muhamad and Ali, the Dead bodies laying in the street is Islam that becomes the beast, the Umayyad Caliphate who corrupted Islam. All this would last to the year...

    I.S.I.S has Nothing to Do With Islam?

    Valid point and the argument I speak of should be clarified, as it is continuing past strong disagreement. It is then better to agree to dissagree. Certainly Christians also can be seen as justifying their conquests. The Bible does not go into blow for blow description as to how it will...

    They are the clouds that Christ returned upon. The Bible teaches us to be aware of this. Regards Tony
