Some one has probably already asked you this, but what is your favorite aspect of your faith or which thing do you treasure the most about your faith?
If your up to it. Why should someone convert to your faith? What makes it better then christianity? What parts are similar to Christianity
Protestor,
. Baha’is believe that the time foreordained in all the Holy Books is now occurring and that the Promised One of all the religions has come and that “this is the changeless Faith of God, eternal in the past, eternal in the future.”
. Baha’is believe that “All the Prophets proclaim the same Faith”, that the time of the One Fold and the One Shepherd has come. Among Native Americans this was prophesied to be the fulfillment of Black Elk’s vision: “And I saw forming the Sacred Hoop of all nations”.
. Among the other religions there has been promised to the Jews the coming of the Lord of Hosts, to Christians Christ shall return in the Glory of the Father. Buddhists await the Buddha of Universal Brotherhood, Hindus the 10th Incarnation of Krsna, Muslims the Mihdi and Messiah, Zoroastrians await one called Shah Bahram, etc.
Baha’u’llah is the Promised One of all religions, and the community He has established is world wide, drawing millions together in this spiritual unity which is composed of every nation, tribe, class, color, and religion on earth. It is amazing to attend large gatherings of people from all over the world who have a common vision of humanity.
. “Nothing short of the unity of the entire human race shall suffice to heal the ills which afflict mankind.”
. “The earth is but one country, mankind its citizens.”
. “Glory not in this that you love your country, rather glory in this, than you love mankind.”
. Baha’is really do not “convert” as such, for we all retain our beliefs, such as in Christ, and Jews or Muslims who become Baha’is do so by recognizing Christ as the Messiah, while upon independently investigating the claims and reading the Writings of Baha’u’llah come to believe that He truly is the One foretold.
. There is a continuation of God’s message, through His Messengers, in a process of “progressive revelation” in which each of the Prophets lays the foundation for the next, as teachers in the same school. The religion of Abraham was preparatory for the time of Moses, whose foundation was laid for the coming of Jesus, the Christ.
. “That the divers communions of the earth, and the manifold systems of religious belief, should never be allowed to foster the feelings of animosity among men, is, in this Day, of the essence of the Faith of God and His Religion. These principles and laws, these firmly-established and mighty systems, have proceeded from one Source, and are rays of one Light. That they differ one from another is to be attributed to the varying requirements of the ages in which they were promulgated.” Bahá’u’lláh
