the baha'is are a great religion. i really am impressed with it. and i read some writing from Bahu'llah [sp?] and it seems to me that the baha'i religion would be big if they wouldn't have presecuted them. because like bah'ullah would have to leave city after city, and he would talk to head officials, and then they would become baha'i, and so forth. i think that if he wouldn't have been jailed and oppressed, the bah'i religion could be a lot bigger then it is now. maybe not as big as christianity or islam of course, but still pretty big.

the baha'is accept Jesus as a perfect prophet, but not as the messiah. they believe that like every religions prophet is a true prophet.. jesus, mohammed, even buddha.. they're all prophets with different messages.

anyways i'm not baha'i, but i believe that is right.

I don't know how many, but you can read testimonies of christians" that turned to Judaism because of this. I am sure the Muslims also love this site.

We have seen that Paul's picture of God's sovereignty doesn't exist in the Scriptures. We might call this the DNA evidence against him (Doctrine Not Accurate). It is an important part of the case against him. But it is by no means all the evidence there is against his supposed authority. There is more than enough evidence to suggest that he was not even a true apostle of Yahshua let alone the greatest apostle who ever lived as he is so often eulogized.
There are a number of historical facts, quotations from Paul, and quotations from Yahshua recorded in the New Testament that leave us with some quite compelling evidence against his apostleship being recognized in heaven.
There are several interesting facts surrounding this case that should be noted and kept in mind. They are:............
I just found your site. As a minister who left the "church" to find the truth, I would like to say, "keep up the good work". Though the Truth is hard to handle at times, it must be spoken. Stay Close to HIM.

well i've been doing research on religions, and i thought messianic judaism was the right way to go [as recently as a few days ago loll] but now i'm leaning more towards my christian faith again.

and the jews reject anything that comes after the torah, whether it be paul, or anyone. :-/

Have you ever heard how the Orthodox Jews view them?

I won't say anything here about it here as this is not what this thread is about, but the Orthodox Jews have their own Biblical views of the OT/OC/Tananch and it is not the Christian view.

But in any case, I don't look at "religions" as God does not judge someone by their "religion", but by their own individuals deeds and Heart. Just my humble view of course.
Reve 20:13 and the sea did give up those dead in it, and the death and the hades did give up the dead in them, and they were judged, each one according to their works;

do you mean you accept jesus as the messiah? now?

yes.

i accept that He has returned as promised.

with a new name as promised. (Rev. 3-12)

He proclaimed this in 1863 but the clergy of His day declared Him a heretic and He spent the next 40 years in exile and imprisonment, and suffered tremendously. They thought they could extinguish His infant Faith, but nothing can thwart the Will of God.

history has a way of repeating itself.

How it's changed my life well, when there are questions you have which you don't know the answer to, they nag on your mind. Why this, and why that. Now I have answers for them all, so that is a new outlook on life, with moral and practical solutions to real problems too. The problem is one man or one woman can't change much, which is why I'm here now.

I've always been into being healthy, and so get into Yoga and Ayurveda, which lead me to Hinduism.
Can't one practice Yoga and prayer and still be In Christ.

(Young) Psalms 119:48 And I lift up my hands unto Thy commands, That I have loved, And I do meditate on Thy statutes!

Yes they can indeed!!

Its not about what name of God you follow, its about how much we practice Gods words that matters, as Gods words are about the same in all religions

Ezra also?

Ezra 3: 12 But many of the priests and Levites and heads of the fathers' [houses,] old men who had seen the first temple, wept with a loud voice when the foundation of this temple was laid before their eyes. Yet many shouted aloud for joy, 13 so that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of Joy from the noise of the Weeping of the people, for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the sound was heard afar off.
Matthew 24:1 Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple [Malachi 3], and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple [#2411].
Reve 19:3 Again they said, "Alleluia! Her smoke rises up forever and ever!" 4 And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, "Amen! Alleluia!"

I am Catholic just because I am... if that makes any sense lol...

How come it seems like unless something traumatic happened to you or you changed religions or something society treats you like that is somehow more valid than those of us who just were born into a certain faith and are fulfilled in it...

baha'is accept Jesus as a perfect prophet, but not as the messiah.
I think it would be closer to say that Baha'is don't see the two terms as contradictory.
That makes me think they do not actually read or understand our Bible and why we have a hardtime in getting the Orthodox Jews to believe Christ was the Messiah. [the Muslims also have tried to tell them]

The Bible is about a kingdom of Priests and Kings and both were anointed in the Bible.

Ezekiel 37:22 "and I will make Them one Nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one King shall be king over them all; they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again.

http://www.kingdombiblestudies.org/priest/RP1.htm
The Royal Priesthood Part 1 of 33

In the Bible there are a great number of words, phrases, and expressions that are especially significant in the creative and redemptive plan of God. One of the first such phrases was uttered by God Himself before ever He brought mankind into being when He said, "Let us make man in our image." This was the purpose of God condensed into about as few words as can be used. Then there were the inspired words of Isaiah when he prophesied, "Unto us a child is born; unto us a Son is given." Connected with this were the words of the angels unto the shepherds, "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord," and the proclamation of the Voice from heaven at the Jordan river, "This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased."
