Handful? What about the rest of us? The bag is very small and the rest of us wants some too

I'm sorry. You're right. Besides I just finished eating not too long ago.

Geeeesh! How inconsiderate on my part. My apologies.:D ;)

Most likely, because all the Christians who try to convert me say the same things.

Yes, I am aware that Christians believe this, but that does not explain why *I* should believe it.

I know, I just wanted to make sure you knew my beliefs, because some christians differ, in my next post I will try and prove why I believe what I do, piece by piece. Before I do that, please explain your religion to me, do you believe in the bible? I am VERY uneducated on your religion I am afriad.

Well, can another religion make this "bold" claim of their God?

Isaiah 65:7 For, lo, I am creating new heavens, and a new earth, And the former things are not remembered, Nor do they ascend on the heart. 18 But joy ye, and rejoice for ever, that I [am] Creator, For, lo, I am creating Jerusalem a rejoicing, And her people a joy.
Yes. My religion makes bold claims, also.

By the way, take a second look. That claim you posted is not Christian, it is Jewish.

It took seven years of study to convince me of the truth of the religion I currently profess. Converting me will take longer than one post. Just so you don't get discouraged when I do not instantly become a Christian.

Before I do that, please explain your religion to me, do you believe in the bible?
My religious beliefs are not based on the Bible. My group has a completely different set of Scriptures. We believe there has been a brand new Revelation from God.

I certainly did. You call yourself Little Lamb of Jesus, your icon is a Cross, but your quote is not from the religion you belong to.
Well, it is also shown in our christian book of revelation:

Revelation 21:1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

The Baha'i Faith.

Ok, correct me if I am wrong about anything k. You believe that Jesus was the prophet of his time, therefor the NT was written for his time, and now you follow a prohpet for our time right? Now, if I can prove that Jesus was god in his time, by useing the NT and the OT, which you believe was for the people of Moses' time and the other prophets, would you be convinced?

Yes.

It doesn't matter to me if Jesus is or is not God. To convert me to Christianity you must disprove the claim that the Founder of the Baha'i Faith speaks on God's behalf.

by useing the NT and the OT
That would not convince me, because my beliefs are not based on the Bible. You must prove that the Baha'i Scriptures are not God's Word.

Ok, I will try and do that, keep in mind I have no idea if you will choose to believe me, or if I even have the ability to show you what you need to see, but it never hurts to give it a shot, know what I mean.

If you show me at least one piece of evidence that I find convincing, I will of course believe what you are telling me. I want to follow God. Period.

if I even have the ability to show you what you need to see
Why don't you pray that Jesus will guide and inspire you?

That's true.

Yes, I will ask god to inspire me, but it would be the Holy Spirit, not Jesus, :) Anyway, you will have to forgive me, I am not just going to jump into this thing head first know what I mean, I need to research your faith, and such, I will be able to comment on this in a bout an hour, k.:thumbsup:
