Requirement to become a real follower of Christ
"As Christ said to a rich man: 'Go, and give all you have, and take up your cross and come and be My follower.' (Mark 10:24) This saying of Christ's indicates that unless one is free from everything, one cannot be a real follower of Christ." (Words of 'Abdu'l-Baha, recorded by Juliet Thompson during her visit in Akka, The Diary of Juliet Thompson, p. 36)

Baha'is love and revere Jesus
Our belief in Christ, as Bahá'ís, is so firm, so unshakable and so exalted in nature that very few Christians are to be found now-a-days who love Him and reverence Him and have the faith in Him that we have. It is only from the dogmas and creeds of the churches that we dissociate ourselves; not from the spirit of Christianity. (From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to the Bahá'ís of Vienna, June 24, 1947; Lights of Guidance, p. 159)

Ill-natured

by Waters on Sat Jun 26, 2010 04:32 PM PDT

liston my ill natured friend. They are talking about a child not an undercover monster. 

How long do you think you can get away with fraud and deceit.

boasting centuries worth of enlightenment and this is what you got left!

You and those who defend you bring shame to the prophet, don't believe me ask him.

Morals and good conduct...

by Mona Tahiri on Sat Jun 26, 2010 01:48 AM PDT

"Training in morals and good conduct is far more important than book learning. A child that is cleanly, agreeable, of good character, well-behaved - even though he be ignorant - is preferable to a child that is rude, unwashed, ill-natured, and yet becoming deeply versed in all the science and arts. The reason for this is that the child who conducts himself well, even though he be ignorant, is of benefit to others, while an ill-natured, ill-behaved child is corrupted and harmful to others, even though he be learned. If, however, the child be trained to be both learned and good, the result is light upon light."

Thirst for power!!!??? I have all the power I need, that is Faith. Do you?

Ironically you are writing exactly what you need to practice, so close yet so far away, its amazing. its a proof that God wants you to know His Words and He is making you read them, the next step is to reflect on what you read and the Truth Shall set you FREE. 

There is no progress possible with dishonesty of which you are a perfect example. I am merely pointing out the FRAUDULENT act of impersonation which brings shame to the Prophet.

 

Do as you wish, its either light at the end of the tunnel or the iron fist. For everybody's sake lets hope its light!

Conduct....

by Mona Tahiri on Fri Jun 25, 2010 06:57 AM PDT

Let their words proclaim, and their conduct testify, that they who follow Bahá’u’lláh, in whatever land they reside, are actuated by no selfish ambition, that they neither thirst for power, nor mind any wave of unpopularity, of distrust or criticism, which a strict adherence to their standards might provoke.

MT what are you trying to accomplish? Impersonating a Bahai will neither serve Allah nor will it change the Truth, Allah is my witness.

you are better off to post something positive about your real religion, or just state your objection question or perplexities. You are beginning to come across very schitzophrenic. People are not as dumb as you think. 

You bring shame to the Prophet.

By the way there is nothing wrong with what you wrote except that you are not a Bahai and that is weird.
