That blind faith and religious dogma are akin to an infectious disease. As for what they can learn from my particular 'faith', why, the truth of course.

midnight star said:heres an intersesting question. As non-Christians, what lessons to you think Christianity can teach us? I am firm believe that all religions have at least one positive thing to teach us.
By the same token, what do you think Christians can learn from your particular faith?
If only the same respect could spread into other places I shall notHavoc said:Hey folks;
Just popped in to say howdy.
This has turned into an amazing thread, good on you all. We're proving that it is possible for people of different faiths to talk and discuss without villifying each other.
I thought that Baha'u'llah had some Sufi training. Am I wrong?9Harmony said:Hi Smilin,
The Baha'i Faith has it's origins in Islam, much the same as Christianity has it's origins in Judaism. Baha'u'llah was raised in a Muslim country, and He inaugurated an independent religion. The muslim clerics of His time who felt threatened by His teachings imprisoned and exiled Him for 40 years. Several attempts were made on His life, but none succeeded.
The Bab proclaimed in 1844 that He had come to foretell the coming of "The One Whom God will make Manifest". His mission was similar to that of John the Baptist, but His life closely resembled that of Christ.
I hope that helps clarify things a little. Let me know if you have other questions.
Loving Greetings, Harmony

As do I. I have a special love for different religions, particulary non-Christian ones. I find it fascinating how all religions seems to teach the same basic truths, and the different ways in which they communicate them.Proud2BAJesusFreak said:This is interesting. I also enjoy learning about different faiths...
