LOL
This is comedy at its best …and I’m not criticising eddie too the person/soul, just giggling at his posts!
He posts this:
…and then the VERY NEXT POST, gives us this nugget of comedy:
God bless you brother.
.
Dear Servant,
eddie is not infallible and he can make mistakes. If you think those two contradictory posts from a fallible human amount to a comedy I don’t know what you would call this:
1-Baha’u’llah telling the world that he has removed all cause of shunning then goes about contradicting himself and telling his followers to Shun those who deny him:
“Whatsoever hath led the children of men to
shun one another, and hath caused dissensions and divisions amongst them, hath, through the revelation of these words, been
nullified and abolished.”
Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah, p. 95
“Shun any man in whom you perceive enmity for this Servant, though he may appear in the garb of piety of the former and later people, or may arise to the worship of the two worlds.”
Baha’i World Faith—Selected Writings of Baha’u’llah and Abdu’l-Baha (Abdu’l-Baha’s Section Only), p. 431.
2-Abdu’l-Baha telling us that the punishment of prison, shunning, and capital is bad and has a demoralizing effect while Baha’u’llah has the same punishment in his book of laws:
“the community is always thinking of enforcing the penal laws, and of preparing means of punishment,
instruments of death and chastisement, places for
imprisonment and
banishment; and they expect crimes to be committed. This has a demoralizing effect.” Abdu’l-Baha,
Some Answered Questions, p. 272.
“
Exile and
imprisonment are decreed for the thief, and, on the third offence, place ye a mark upon his brow so that, thus identified, he may not be accepted in the cities of God and His countries.” Baha’u’llah,
The Kitab-i Aqdas, pp. 35–36
“Should anyone intentionally destroy a house by fire,
him also shall ye burn; should anyone deliberately take another’s life,
him also shall ye put to death. Take ye hold of the precepts of God with all your strength and power, and abandon the ways of the ignorant. Should ye condemn the arsonist and the murderer to** life imprisonment**, it would be permissible according to the provisions of the Book. He, verily, hath power to ordain whatsoever He pleaseth,” Baha’u’llah,
The Kitab-i Aqdas, p. 203.
3-Baha’u’llah claiming that whatever book he needs appears before his face while he confesses elsewhere that he had to search for a book that he needed:
“Whenever We desire to quote the sayings of the learned and of the wise, presently there will appear before the face of thy Lord in the form of a tablet all that which hath appeared in the world and is revealed in the Holy Books and Scriptures,”
Tablets of Baha’u’llah Revealed After the Kitab-i-Aqdas, p. 149.
“As We had frequently heard about him, We purposed to
read some of his works. Although We never felt disposed to peruse other peoples’ writings, yet as some had questioned Us concerning him, We
felt it necessary to refer to his books, in order that We might answer Our questioners with knowledge and understanding.
His works, in the Arabic tongue, were, however, not available, . . .
We sent for the book, and kept it with Us a few days. It was probably referred to twice,” Baha’u’llah,
The Kitab-i-Iqan, pp. 184–186.
4-Baha’u’llah falsely stating that two prophets were contemporary with two philosophers, while in reality they lived centuries apart:
“Empedocles, who distinguished himself in philosophy, was a contemporary of David, while Pythagoras lived in the days of Solomon, son of David, and acquired Wisdom from the treasury of prophethood.” Baha’u’llah,
Tablets of Baha’u’llah Revealed After the Kitab-i-Aqdas, p. 145
