Remember this is some one after 2000 years is explaining this matter for the christians and other religions as well to come to unite spritually under one banner called Bahai (followers of the light)
Bahai is literally, a cult built of false teachings. Explain how Christianity and Islam can Unite if they contradict Jesus death on the cross? You have to ignore facts to be a Bahai. The first state already made in this video clearly exposes the Bahai ignorance by agreeing Jesus is not for our dispensation as he has commanded to preach to the entire world until he returns and a new heaven/earth is created.
Baha’is believe that passages such as John 3:16 and John 14:6 indeed affirm that salvation is attained through acceptance of Christ. But each of the world’s major religious traditions offer passages similar to those found in the Book of John; passages which have been used to claim the uniqueness and finality of the various faiths, but in reality affirm that “the way” is to follow the Word of God and to surrender to the Will that emanates from that Word. For Baha’i s, the references to the “Son” and to “I” in John is a reference to the eternal Logos. Hence, this is a basis for recognizing that all of the great religious Teachers spoke as the voice of God.
What do you believe is the "Word of God"? Bahai's claim that the Bab, and Baha'u'llah are the only infallible who's teachings were not lost or corrupted. Have you ever investigated the historical accuracy of the Biblical manuscripts, and how we can show that the new testament documents were not corrupted or lost? They are also many prophesies concerning nations, peoples, and the Messiah/Christ that have already come to pass with 100% accuracy.
That can’t be true Natalie…..especially when those voices disagree with each other, Muhammad was one of those teachers and it goes against the claims of Jesus Christ himself. Clearly God isn’t speaking through all the well known voices because God doesn’t disagree with himself nor does confusion come from God but from the author of confusion, the father of lies, Satan.
Dr Martin one thing you missed about jesus is that the jewes were expecting a messaiah called Amanuel(God is with us)and did not expected him the way they wanted to,But Jesus showed up and they were surprised except few ones that were choosen by God were able to follow him,that 's why jesus explained to them that there is two kinds of deaths one is physical and another one is spritual.
This is why Christians like no other religions have formed into so many denominations within their own religion. Birthing their own religion according to what suits their own personal interpretation. I think God is not stubborn enough to not let any room for advancement which all of us humans are dependent upon in our everyday life and for the future. Bahaullah said " their is no greater enemy to oneself than himself" ..which makes more sense than blaming Satan or the devil for everything bad or Jesus for any thing good..we suffer the consequences of our own actions...Bahaullah said "The earth is but one country and mankind its citizens" why are we fighting against each other on religious topics but instead be kind and love one another in perfect harmony and in peace. Bahai ,Christians, Atheists, Muslims....whatever...I believe Gods light is in all of us and it beams in us in a very unique way individually. It is our own duty as human beings to discover our own destiny for both our spiritual and physical fulfillment.
Please check out message from heaven by Rachel lubbe and A lamp in the dark by chist pinto and Before the wrath by ingenuity films for the whole truth.
"This is why Christians like no other religions have formed into so many denominations within their own religion. Birthing their own religion according to what suits their own personal interpretation." While there are many denominations, they all agree on the core doctrines regarding salvation through Christ alone. Certainly there's always going to be disagreements - but we still regard each other as brothers & sisters in Christ. The only exceptions would be Jehova's Witnesses, Mormons, Christadelphians, & few others. This phenomena isn't limited to religion though. It's human nature. Even if you look at major accepted scientific theories, you'll find copious disagreement, but that doesn't invalidate the theory. "I believe Gods light is in all of us and it beams in us in a very unique way individually." That's a universal philosophy that allows the individual to live out their lives with complete freedom. I know it's offensive to many that Christianity is exclusive. I believe it's of paramount importance to find out if the Christian God exists. I couldn't imagine anything worse than rejecting Him, and then finding out when it's too late. It's a price I'm not willing to pay.
Jesus Christ is the truth. God manifest in the flesh. John 1: 1-14 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."
It's Really Quite amazing, how the god of this World has blinded the eyes of So many by creating different faith movements around the world to Deceive people!!!! It really is no wonder, that Few that be will Find it, meaning the Real jesus!!!
How can you recognise another God and you give that God the claim of the earth in your sentence please understand what you are trying to communicate and clarify that there is and shall forever only be 1 God the All Powerful The All Knowing.
@Carlos-xz3vi , The Fake Jesus of Rome/ The Mother Church of Oz/ the Vaticanus has created these faith movements/ Religions!!! To mislead the world!!! And satan is behind the Mother Church!!!
He was a man of faith who fought the good fight, but only God is a master. Matt 23: 8-13 "But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted."
@@mr.alithea7324 Sorry for the confusion.... James 3:1-4 tell us to be masters, but not many... That was the context in which I wrote.... I hope you understand now..:)
My dad goes to a Methodist church. I visited him and he seemed really excited about his Sunday school lesson last week. Taught by a Bahai. I remembered hearing about their new age ecumenicalism and warned him.
I used to think the cultic doctrines were an 80s and 90s issue. But they are still around deceiving people. That is why we must continue to earnestly defend the faith. Jude 1:3 KJV "Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints."
He was excited because truly in his heart he saw the beauty in it. Such a shame that you warned him against a faith that teaches unity and love for all mankind.
@@Natalie-fj7fs JESUS IS The truth the way and the Life. Mystery of Godliness, How that God was manifested Into the flesh, seen of by Angels and humans. John In the beginning, The word was with God, and the word was God, and the word became flesh. And warns humans will not unite for him but for a false peace and love, and then sudden destruction shall come.
I think he was trying to defend his net worth. I just looked at his net worth and it's estimated from 1 1/2 to 5 million back in '80s so you tell me how asomeine who spends all his life studying Bible gets that rich by not working and only praying God? Bible say you cannot worship God and money at the same time.
He did a fantastic job at interrupting those people when they were making good points him and the host worked together at that why not just let one finish you're statement and reply afterwards ? That's usually how political debates go notice how those people never interrupted them even when they were interrupted and kept their cool? That's not how a Christian should act, does the Bible not teach fairness? I mean if you're right and you know someone else is wrong why stop the other mid sentence other then to persuade viewers/audience by interrupting their presentation to make it seam more weak/inconsistent ? Surely you would get your chance to prive them wrong after the other party made their statement? How can you deny something you do not know before truly investigating it for yourself? Why does he need to directly state the other party is wrong everytime and not just give the evidence as to why they are wrong and let you decide for yourself? This got me thinking, eye opening interview 👀
@mehrshadvr4 He had written books that sold very well. That has nothing to do with his belief in God. He has shown through his radio show, Traveling and speaking, and through his books and his other work, he faithfully defended the faith. He spoke the Death Burial and Resurrection. Repentance. Faith by grace through faith. He studied the cults so we all could spot false teaching and false prophets because the Bible writers wrote about it clearly. Jesus warned of false christs and said to watch out and don't believe them. Great job Done by Dr Walter Martin.
@@BlueskyGladue sure it does. He used his religion to make money. If people buy his book because he's a perfect Christian then he shouldn't use the religion to get rich.
Thank you Dr Martin for your ministry. It has helped me defend the historic Christian faith on numerous occasions against cultists and continues to help me. So blessed by his work for the Lord. Selfishly I hoped he had been around longer but the Lord had him on earth for a certain time. Thanks for this upload.
imagine 100 years after Jesus Christ, two christian sitting on front of a rabbi and trying to prove that Jesus was fulfilment of prophecies of Jewish faith..... of course rabbi is not to going to accept and say it is nonsense and Jesus was a liar .... the same word Dr. Martin uses unfortunately about Bahaullah.
That’s your reasoning? Really? You got to be a Baha’i with that sort of thinking. Any thinking person & genuine Truth seeking person would then test the claims. Plenty of Jews have accepted Jesus Christ Yeshua HaMashiach as Lord & Saviour. The literal Son of God. He died & Rose again. Brother, don’t take this lightly. You m9ght want to test the claims of Christ. His Words don’t die.
Jesus Christ Yeshua HaMashiach *Never* sinned. Not once. So lying is not of His nature. Lying belongs to the devil & he is the father of it. Therefore, Baha’u’llah is liar. He is from the devil
Some rabbis have accepted him and have become Christians or messianic Jews. Others have invented a 2 messiah theory to account for all the prophesies that Jesus Christ fulfilled. Messiah ben-jospeh (The suffering Messiah), and Messiah ben-David (The conquering king). Here is an article on the subject: jewsforjesus.org/publications/issues/issues-v15-n05/two-messiahs-in-judaism-ben-david-and-ben-joseph/
The 2nd Coming of Jesus: Every eye will see. Scripture says people will say he's in the field, or over there, don't go, it's not Jesus. Everyone still Alive will know when He returns
I just don’t understand how people can talk so assertively about something that they didn’t live nor do they experience in this day and age. Is like if I told you I talked to mermaids and proceed to talk in an intellectual manner about my conversations with a mermaid.
Tha fact of the matter is that some minds are not yet ready to grasp the full meaning and significance of GOD'S MANIFESTATIONS. Proof of it is the notion of the "TRINITY", "GOD THE FATHER", HE is THE FATHER OF HUMANITY i.e. "GOD IS LIFE", "GOD THE SON" properly it's "GOD THE SUN", meant to "ILLUMINE" HUMANITY. "GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT", a redundancy, there is only GOD, HE established a "COVENANT" with HUMANITY (not the false "Chosen People"), to "UPDATE HIS GUIDANCE" in accordance to "HUMANITY'S SPIRITUAL NEEDS" through HIS "TIMELY MANIFESTATIONS" overwhelming a mortal with "HIS HOLY SPIRIT". Up to this day, countless creatures can not fathom that phenomenon, JESUS WAS NOT "GOD HIMSELF, BUT THE INCARNATION OF THAT HOLY SPIRIT" (valid redundance). This all stems from the "INDIVIDUALIZING" of GOD in the Old Testament, and the selling of the visualization of "HEAVEN" being the "FIRMAMENT" / OUTERSPACE, while still claiming "GOD IS LIFE", but it is difficult to convey the idea that "OUR SOUL" is "GOD WITHIN EACH BEING", if all "BELIEVERS" would float with the tide and look into the BAHA'I TEACHINGS, they would learn it include a clarification that "HEAVEN / HELL are STATES OF THE HUMAN MIND", as in "The Absense of GOD in the mind and heart of each is the presence Satan", and to be honest, Satan have so called intellectuals, sages, gurus and false "apostols's" minds in a not. Actually it's that "CLOUD" of willful neglect and staying in "BELIEVING", refusing the opportunity to "VERIFY". A "BAHA'I FRIEND" here, only a friend, in order to not misrepresent the faith with my conviction that "The Bible" is in reality a SEVERANCE from GOD based on hate and REVENGE for the accomplishments of Egypt and claiming credit for "Monotheism". Beginning with the "FORBIDDEN FRUIT", I've recognize it all a Satan's Theatrical Production that continues to this day with wars, destruction and the dismantling of the human essence. In short "The Church" have been nothing more than Satan's recruiting centers, with His marionettes get filthy rich off it.
Do you think that Baha’i came to bring peace on earth? Yes. The Baha’i is a friend of the world. Most non religious people would agree and respect this religion because they reject the narrow way of the Bible believer born again types.
Deuteronomy 13:1-4 - We either will know him..cleave to him - OR - we will go after to follow other gods, and the reason why these come, like Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Baha'i, Unitarian, Scientologists.. all come to do exacly what Deuteronomy says why they come. 1. If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, 2 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; 3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. 4 Ye shall walk after the Lord your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him. So - it is GOD that proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. OR - follow and go after other gods, which you have not know, and it's these that lead astray that say you won't be alone with "let us" with "let us serve them" Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father but by him. That means everything OTHER than Jesus Christ isn't him. Isn't of him, doesn't know him, and isn't in him.
Some Zoroastrians believe in a non dualistic interpretation of the 2 forces, just as all religions beliefs differ by group. Plus Zathrustra was the manifestation, not his followers beliefs.
Why does Dr. Martin keep saying that "those who pierced" Jesus will see him return when, clearly, those who pierced them are not around anymore, for they died in the first century; unless "those who pierced him" is to be understood only figuratively, in which case, the Baha'i are right, for, in a figurative sense, those would have crucified Christ WOULD see him in the person of Baha'u'llah (whoever that would be .. the Jews? the Italians? the Roman Catholics, who inherited the spiritual legacy of the Roman Empire?)?
He's referring to the second coming of Jesus Christ in the book of revelation. Revelation 1:7 "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen."
@@mr.alithea7324 No, he's trying to make that case that the perpetrators ofJesus's crucifixion - "those who pierced him" - are the same people who will be around (2000 years later!) to witness Jesus return. My question is: how is that possible that eyewitnesses to an event that occurred 2,000 years ago will still be alive to witness Jesus "coming in the clouds"? Wouldn't they be long dead, if this passage is understood literally? The only way that this is possible is if the phrase "those who pierced him" is taken symbolically or figuratively, in which case, the Baha'is' make an excellent point: that the spiritual (not literal) heirs of those who crucified Jesus see him in an equally spiritual way: in the person of Baha'u'llah. The other option, which is the one I believe, is that Jesus DID return back in the days when "those who pierced him" where still alive, for Christ's parousia is always in the form of the Church. As soon as the Holy Spirit descended, Christ returned in the form of the apostles who formed the Church.
It either refers to the Jews in general as a nation who pierced him, or those who were literally there during the crucifixion and are now dead will see him when he returns. In either case, both living and dead at the second coming will see his return, and all will be judged. Rev 20: 4-5 "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished." Rev 20: 11-12 "And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works."
Plus a thief means (you can not k now it when the thief snaches your bug or something)in other ways it means always be prepared for it alwstlys shouldnt be sprituall sleeping.
Baha’is don’t compare religions. We believe the revelations received by each messenger are chapters of Gods guidance to humanity. Baha’u’llah’s central message is the oneness of God, the oneness of humanity and the oneness of religion. His message was that God had set in place forces to overcome barriers that divide societies such as race, class, creed and nation. Whether you accept it or not that’s entirely up to you but just how doesn’t this make sense to anyone?
It doesn't make sense because the different religions of the world have fundamentally contradicting views/doctrines on God and Salvation. For example, the Baha'is recognize Moses, Jesus Christ, and Mohammed all as messengers of God. For example, Muslims claim that Allah(God) has no sons, but Christianity states that Jesus Christ the only begotten son of God is the Saviour of the World, who died on the cross for our sins. There are many other contradictions such as Jihad, dietary laws, marriage, etc. If they were all messengers of God why do they have fundamental contrary views of God, life, and salvation?
So your wrong because most religions disagree fundamentally, Example, Muslims don't believe Jesus is God and we protestant Christians do. Pope Francis says you don't need Jesus to go to heaven, but the King James Bibke says you do.
How do Bahais not see that the revelations received by each messenger contradict each other? How can there be oneness of religion when these messengers all believed different things? It cant be a rainy, sunny, windy, snowy, day all at once. That is what Bahais are attempting to do with their faith. The faith is very humanitarian based which is noble. However, that is not going to cut it. Bahais are big on investigating the truth but how can Bahais truly investigate the truth when everything has to be filtered and approved by the Universal house of justice ? That is a form of control and manipulation. I could keep going but I'll stop here.
Its because the age of that time continuously changes. But all world religions acknowledge that the is only One God, and that He desires to be worshipped alone.@@mr.alithea7324
Gotta hand it to the Bahá'ís for dealing with the myriad purposeful mispronunciations of Bahá'u'lláh's name without getting irritated. LOL BTW, I came to believe in Jesus _through_ Bahá'u'lláh. He convinced me of the truth of Jesus Christ. And btw, we have the original writings of Baha'u'llah (Ba-HA-o-LA) in meticulous transitions, something Christians would give their eye teeth for if they had Jesus' actual words on paper, not just the reported sayings. You can know if Bahá'u'lláh is the truth by reading His writings and learning about His life. It wouldn't hurt to learn about him. Oh, one more thing, Jesus said no one comes to the Father except through Me. Bahá'u'lláh _is_ the Father. He establishes the brotherhood of man under one loving Creator. You can't become a Bahá'í without believing in Jesus.
@@valeriereneeharper Well, first, Bahá'u'lláh never claimed to be Jesus Himself but the return of the Christ Spirit, in other words, the Holy Spirit sent by God. Do you think it's impossible that God could send another like Jesus? And yet Jesus Himself said He would return with a new name in the Glory of the Father (the title Bahá'u'lláh means Glory of God). Do you think it's impossible that this prophecy could have been fulfilled? It wouldn't hurt to actually investigate the life and claims of Bahá'u'lláh, and you may just find, as I did, that the promises of Jesus had been fulfilled back in the 1800s, as so many Christians were expecting at the time. It's very exciting! To think we were living in the time of the fulfillment of Jesus' prophecies blew me away when I first heard about this 60 years ago. Remember, there are still Jews after 2,000 years. We're always given a choice whether to accept or reject what God has bestowed upon us. I couldn't find anything false about Bahá'u'lláh, not His life nor His teachings. He suffered 40 years of torture, imprisonment, deprivation, and exile yet never wavered in His determination to bring the human race together in love. Seems to me we need this more than ever now.
@@valeriereneeharperClaiming something is false without researching is blind ideology ... You do have the power to distinguish right from wrong please take some time to learn the actual teachings and standings of the Bahai Faith before making such a bold statement if I were to do that I would undermine God as I do believe in the Bahai faith but at the same time I also know that Jesus is a messenger of God and am yet to see how the Bahai faith disagrees with Christianity in teachings besides obvious social laws which Bahais have that are appropriate for this day and age. Medieval times superstition was heavily invested in that age also my interpretation why the Bible uses all the symbolic references as people were more accustomed to that way of reasoning but times have changed
I respectfully disagree but Bahá'u'lláh is not the Father. If I understand correctly what ‘Abdu'l-Bahá was saying in Some answered questions about the Sun in the sky and two Mirrors(the Holy Spirit and the Son) reflecting its light on the Earth. So when Jesus is saying that He is God he is referencing the image of the Sun in the perfect Mirror. The Bahá'u'llah is the same. Also there was something about the Sun that can't come to Earth because it will destroy everything in its light. P.S. I'm sorry English is my second language and I didn't read Some answered questions in English so there are probably some mistakes but I hope it will be good enough to explain my point.
@@IllarionYolgin Well, not sure where you're coming from, but Jesus promised that He would return in the Glory of the Father. Thus, Bahá'u'lláh (the Glory of God) fulfills the promises of Jesus. Father is symbolic of God, of course, but in the sense that Bahá'u'lláh firmly established the oneness of mankind under the Fatherhood of God, He does fulfill that prophecy, at least He does for me. The Lord's Prayer promises His coming: "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." I think it's reasonable to think that heaven is a peaceful condition, and this is what Bahá'u'lláh, the Prince of Peace, has come to bring. And He was literally a prince descended from Zoroastrian kings, by the way. He fulfills so many prophecies it would be impossible to list them all here, but there are books if you're interested, that go into them in great detail. BTW, your English is fine, maybe even better than some native speakers. 😉
Matthew 1 is the bloodline of Joseph and the Royal inheritance of Christ through his adoption by Joseph…. So actually the Government was on his shoulders according to scripture… the scepter will not depart from Judah, and Christ is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah! ❤
How is Jesus god? Please my Christian friends answer my questions In Matthew 27:46 tell us that Jesus was praying to god asking why has he forsaken Jesus.. If Jesus is god himself does that mean he has forsaken himself?? Or god pray to god? John 14:28 tell us that Jesus said his father is greater than himself ?? Does it mean Jesus is Greater than himself if he is god ?? Hebrews 1:5-9 tell us his father( god) begat Jesus Did he begat himself if he was god ?? John 10:30 tell us that Jesus and his father are one . Which also proves he’s god. But in John 17:21 also tell us that Jesus and his disciples are one. Does that mean his disciples are gods?? John1:18 tell us that no man has ever seen god in any time. Was Jesus seen when he still walked on earth and alive ? If Jesus has risen like what Walter said why haven’t we seen Jesus in this 21centry ? He said Jesus raised the dead which proves Jesus is god Where are those people that have been raised are they still alive untill today ?? About the trinity ?? I haven’t come across the verse where Jesus himself said there are three gods in one . And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord. Mark 12:29 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:23-24 Jesus has said worship one god in spirit, Why do you worship Jesus ? I’m so confused with the veiw of Jesus being god to Martin Walter
Jesus said the Gospel of the kingdom would be the Gospel just prior to his return. The same as the Gospel of the kingdom being near, preached by John and Jesus in the 69th week of years prophesied in Daniel 9:24-27. The Gospel presently is not addressed to Israel by the Xpistos ( English transliteration Christ, which if translated means anointed) as was 1 of Jesus' purposes in his earthly ministry. The present Gospel of Jesus dying for our sins, being buried, and raised from the dead on the third day, all of this according to the scriptures, and the fact that more than 500 witnesses saw him after his resurrection, is addressing "ALL OF MANKIND" prior to the 70th week described throughout the Old Testament, Matthew 24 and similar verses in the other Gospels, Revelation 6-19. The Epistles explain the present Gospel and all that obtains under Grace through faith for forgiveness of sins, salvation, eternal life, born of the last, second, heavenly Adam. Heavenly citizenship, seated in the heavenlies with Christ, waiting for the adoption of our bodies, transferred into the kingdom which originates in heaven until Jesus begins to reign on earth from heaven in Revelation 11:15, then returns in chapter 19 where his kingdom is then on earth....
So she denies Jesus the Christ, his healings are insignificant as to who he is. Isaiah forewrote what Messiah would do, so it actually directly shows who he is, He told John the baptists messengers, "what did John see"? I healed, cast out demons, the lame leap, the blind see. After that John was beheaded. Died believing. It's a direct correlation as to who he is.
Mostly because that illustration for interpretation was the best way for that period in time. And time went on we advanced as a civilization things have changed why?
@tunie-qy8yf You didn't listen closely did you. They deny the true Jesus. wow you need to watch again. Dr Walter Martin exposed them and their false beliefs about Jesus
Jesus is big business. Too big to fail. The Christian message has been honed, sculpted and polished for 2000 years. "Jesus is coming soon." I've been hearing that for 70 years. Keep waiting, Dr. Martin. He's been here already. You missed Him
I can only be that some beings are NOT at a stage capable of comprehending the phenomenon of "GOD'S MANIFESTATIONS" or GOD HIMSELF. Then the preposterous notion of "JESUS IS GOD IN THE FLESH", clearly a reference to "GOD AN INDIVIDUAL", they either lack the mental capacity to even imagine "GOD IS, AND IS PART OF ALL HIS CREATION", to many, that is saying too much. Then again there are beings that are void of God's VIBRATIONS which makes them "PERSONIFICATIONS OF SATAN", in which case they're mute points, wasted efforts, "Merchants of Faith", and that's a hurdle on the path to achieve "HUMAN HARMONY". Satan made sure to poison the minds with His Theatrical Masterpiece Production that opens with "GENESIS", turned out a most lucrative BUSINESSES.
Jesus was clearly God in the Flesh. 1 Timothy 3:16 “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”
22min, jesus said, telling the scribes and the pharisees that he came from heaven. Of course, we know at his first coming he was born of the virgin Mary and did not come from heaven. That is what we believe as Muslim.
If two men claim to be Jesus, one of them must be wrong - Dire Straits. I'm pretty sure if Jesus returned, it would have been a big deal & you would need zero faith to see it or believe it
Matthew 24:42-44 Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. 2 Peter 3:1-18 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you,[a] not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies[b] will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.[c] Revelation 3:3 Remember, then, what you received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come against you. 1 Thessalonians 5:1-28 The Day of the Lord 5 Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers,[a] you have no need to have anything written to you. 2 For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. 4 But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief. 5 For you are all children[b] of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. 6 So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober. 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night. 8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. 9 For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him. 11 Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing. Luke 17 English Standard Version The Coming of the Kingdom 20 Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed, 21 nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.”[h] Luke 17:22-32 22 And he said to the disciples, “The days are coming when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23 And they will say to you, ‘Look, there!’ or ‘Look, here!’ Do not go out or follow them. 24 For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day.[i] 25 But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. 26 Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot-they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, 29 but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all- 30 so will it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day, let the one who is on the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away, and likewise let the one who is in the field not turn back. 32 Remember Lot's wife.

So how do you know if he did or didn’t do a good job if you know the basis of Bahai? You’re basically bias and agree with what your fellow tribe member is saying .
Because Dr Martin is making wild claims and repeatedly saying they are a cult even after explaining what a cult is Dr Martin still claims they are cult? How please enlighten me, Dr Martin is just doing his best to put them in a bad light and to sell his book/s of course
I am an African Adventist Baha’i. The Adventist side of me is that I am a vegetarian. The Baha’i in me is that I love people of ALL religions. The Baha’i Faith is a new cycle of human power that brings humanity together. It generates energy & desire to fellowship with people of different tribes, races, nationality & religion. It's a power that works to exterminate from the face of the earth any feeling of superiority or inferiority. It's an invitation to fellowship with diverse peoples of the world. It promotes the use of scientific and prayerful ways of solving problems. It's a power that instills in individuals & society the confidence to question ancient beliefs & institutions that promote hatred & fear. It has immense capacity to wash away division which leads to conflict.
How? It doesn’t even make sense for starters yet you make the claim that is does. How does it make sense? How do all religions mixed into one make sense? That’s some serious Cognitive Dissonance going on the minds & mouths of a Baha’i.
@@tunie-qy8yfyou should have referenced "Some answered questions" by Abdul-baha. There he's describing the Sun(the Father) in the sky and Mirrors(the Holy Spirit and the Son) that reflect his light on Earth. So when Jesus is saying that He is God He is referring to the image in the mirror not the mirror itself. That is how you make peace between Muslims and Christians because Christ is the Messenger (the perfect mirror) and the God (the image in it). P.s. English is my second language and I haven't read Some answered questions in English.
Good job to these brave Bahai's, a new church of Christ is being made everyday, Christ Himself said "A house divided cannot stand". Understanding the fruits of Baháʼu'lláh New revelation will be the only sanctuary the world will ever have. 'He the spirit of truth, will guide you unto all truth", and that is the Promised One of all ages Baháʼu'lláh.
1) God and humanity are evolving 2) all scriptures point to manifestations will come when needed for humanity 3) Christ reserve Ted and then could manifest anywhere and in any place at the same time 4) discernment is key here. 5) know me by the fruit. Faith is faith. There are many rivers to the same ocean. Bottom line. Is ….. is God and humanity evolving. Or is man, God, humanity is stagnant. Hmmm God is not stagnant. Nor is humans. Nor is universe. Why can’t God send help to humanity in times of evolutionary need. I think reading texts for oneself is key. Do you really think Jesus is coming in a cloud? Or is it metaphoric. There are many meaning. Hmm. Best to investigate not take others word for it. Read the texts. Both the Bible and Baha’i writings. Dogma stuck in mud ….. reminder Christ was not seen as Christ. Not believed.
God does not evolve/change. Malachi 3: 6 "For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed." Hebrews 13:8 "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."
@@mr.alithea7324God sends guidance for each time He deems fit (ie when humanity loses their way) like the current state of the world, why is the thought of unity so scary to you? That is what God has been teaching for all the ages, do you believe the current Christianity is united as one? Why do they split into so many divisions why not one church? And you interpreted symbolic and figurative texts to suite your current argument there has to be a basis for deciding/knowing or distinguishing the two apart you can't have two texts with a figurative connotation and decide the one is figurative but the other is symbolic? Come on do not be close minded
I don't really find these discussions helpful. Comparing orthodox Christianity to a non-Christian synchrotist religion... I find discussions with liberal Christians and para-Christian cultists much more interesting.
It is for people who follow these groups, to show them what the Bible truly says and who Jesus Christ is. It will also help Christians witness to people in these groups.
@@mr.alithea7324 The opportunity to witness to a Baha'i presented itself a few days ago. I should've watched this video through three months ago. 😔 Your upload will help me prepare for future conversations with this fellow.
@@PrenticeBoy1688 I'm always surprised that these cults are still around and that people are still in them. Praise God John Ankerberg and Walter Martin made videos such as this one to inform people on theses cults.
This is why we need the tradition of the Catholic Church to help us understand the Bible, after all it was the Catholic Church who gave us the Bible. The Catholic Church had to teach for years before any New Testament book was written and the tradition of the church helps us understand what the scriptures are saying. Martin Luther’s bible alone doctrine has caused so much confusion in Christianity and is responsible for the thousands of denominations in Christianity.
So much passive aggression from Walter Martin. Believe what you wish to believe but don't denigrate others for their beliefs (and in the name of Christ!) or insinuate they're a cult. And the host constantly cutting of Mary...bit laughable. Baha'u'llah's Message is there to deliver a new Revelation for humanity. Look at society. We are desperately in need for new teachings and spiritual laws. Look to it and behold how marvellous His Revelation is.
What I got out of this about baha'i: Example: 1) I graduated from High School Valedictorian. What separated me from 4 other students was just one essay assignment grade where I got a A-, the next behind me also got an A- on the same paper assignment, but my grade score was 93 and theirs was 91. All four of us got a perfect GPA of 4.0. Six other students after got a 3.99. The 2nd example is, my GPA was 2.03 and I smoked dope and in a haze during my whole High School experience where most classes I skipped out of or arrived late and the highest score of all classes I took in High School I ever achieved was a B in PE. Baha'i unites both of these statements into one truth. Champions and attests to the oneness of all unity, and I'm choking on the Cowpoop effluent. That's so full of crap I can't stand it. Either I'm one or the other, and more closely resemble the 2nd remark. Combining both makes the whole thing a turd; a lie. Irregardless one is true, the other made up. Jesus is who he says he is; because he is...whether you believe him or not - OR - any combination with him with something else, like Baha'i does unifying all "stories" with truth equates to truth or with the power so powerful to take cow poop and your house and combine it with a lawnmower, where a lawnmower rides thru your whole house in all the bedrooms..and all through the house and flings cowpoop all over.. and Baha'i with a lawnmower and cow poop, is the only way that makes it an even more wonderful house. SUMMATION: Baha'i. What a total pile of crap.
plus jesus did not go toheaven with his physical body that is pure lie when christians do not understand the it is impossble to go to heaven with blood and flesh bc the bible syas no blood and fless will inherited the kingdom of my father
@@mr.alithea7324maybe their spirits went there, not their bodies? There is no explicit statement that they were taken in heaven in flesh. P.s. Beware that English is my second language.
I mean even if the Bahai faith is wrong which i know they aren't, who are you to judge? Especially if you know nothing besides this video and never having studied/learned any of the teachings of the Bahai faith is that not blind judgement? You believe the Bahais are wrong because Dr Martin convinced you they are not because you know so let me ask you this rather do you have a mind? If yes please use it and learn about the faith and make a conclusion on that if you are not willing you cannot criticise them... That's just common sense
Walter Martin is so wrong on the whole John 8:58. First of all he didn't say it in hebrew. Other than that he didn't say I am the eternal god. He added words to that text. He did not use the Divine name because if you go into the Greek Septuagint on the Scripture it doesn't even use the same terminology. There's no link. When the Bible says that Jesus said the father is greater than he is that does away with the whole Co equal argument. Also when he was resurrected which means he should be back to his god-like status he said that he was ascending to his god. God does not have a god. Also looking Hebrews 1:4 where it says that he became greater than the angels. This whole trying to say he said this as a human here is not going to do away with the fact that you believe that he's god.
Here are some 'links' from the Old Testament that may clear it up for you. Isaiah 44: 6 “Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.” 2 Samuel 22: 32 "For who is God, save the Lord? and who is a rock, save our God?" 2 Samuel 22: 46 "The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation."
All bona fide Greek scholars disagree with you concerning John 8:58. I personally read the Greek New Testament daily as well as English versions of the Old and New Testament. I can read the Hebrew when I want to, I haven't fully studied all of the grammar of Hebrew. Jesus is referred to as God by John beginning in John 1:1, the 3rd clause describing Jesus the logos as God. I will explain the Greek in the 3rd clause if you like. John also records Jesus' words about his shared Glory in John 17:5. Paul says in Philippines 2:6-11, Jesus who was in the form of God, emptied himself and put on the form or found in the form of a servant. In Hebrews 10 Jesus says a body was created for him. John 1:3 says there wasn't anything created that Jesus didn't create as Paul explains, thoroughly, in Colossians. Jesus being the creator of everything visible and invisible and he is before all things, and he created all things that have been created, etc. In the New Testament alone, from Matthew to Revelation Jesus and his disciples claim he is God, and even the Jews who rejected him claim he claimed to be equal with God, that he blasphemed. You are without knowledge and understanding of God's breathed words to claim Jesus Christ did not claim to be God.
Dr Martin did an incredible job defending the faith
That intro music...
Who is ready to boogie down to the debate disco brutha 🕺
I'm embarrassed by the Christian's behavior. It devolved to rudeness and name calling. That's just not how you convince people.
That’s Christianity 101. Bully people into believing. That’s why they have failed so badly.
I feel bad for those who watched the show when it just came out and had to wait a whole week for the continuation of the conversation
Remember this is some one after 2000 years is explaining this matter for the christians and other religions as well to come to unite spritually under one banner called Bahai (followers of the light)
Bahai is literally, a cult built of false teachings. Explain how Christianity and Islam can Unite if they contradict Jesus death on the cross?
You have to ignore facts to be a Bahai.
The first state already made in this video clearly exposes the Bahai ignorance by agreeing Jesus is not for our dispensation as he has commanded to preach to the entire world until he returns and a new heaven/earth is created.
Bahai commit Blasphemy
Baha’is believe that passages such as John 3:16 and John 14:6 indeed affirm that salvation is attained through acceptance of Christ. But each of the world’s major religious traditions offer passages similar to those found in the Book of John; passages which have been used to claim the uniqueness and finality of the various faiths, but in reality affirm that “the way” is to follow the Word of God and to surrender to the Will that emanates from that Word. For Baha’i s, the references to the “Son” and to “I” in John is a reference to the eternal Logos. Hence, this is a basis for recognizing that all of the great religious Teachers spoke as the voice of God.
What do you believe is the "Word of God"? Bahai's claim that the Bab, and Baha'u'llah are the only infallible who's teachings were not lost or corrupted. Have you ever investigated the historical accuracy of the Biblical manuscripts, and how we can show that the new testament documents were not corrupted or lost? They are also many prophesies concerning nations, peoples, and the Messiah/Christ that have already come to pass with 100% accuracy.
That can’t be true Natalie…..especially when those voices disagree with each other, Muhammad was one of those teachers and it goes against the claims of Jesus Christ himself. Clearly God isn’t speaking through all the well known voices because God doesn’t disagree with himself nor does confusion come from God but from the author of confusion, the father of lies, Satan.
@@valeriereneeharperPlease I would like to know how Muhammad goes against Jesus's claims?
Bahai religion is Blasphemy
Dr Martin one thing you missed about jesus is that the jewes were expecting a messaiah called Amanuel(God is with us)and did not expected him the way they wanted to,But Jesus showed up and they were surprised except few ones that were choosen by God were able to follow him,that 's why jesus explained to them that there is two kinds of deaths one is physical and another one is spritual.
This is why Christians like no other religions have formed into so many denominations within their own religion. Birthing their own religion according to what suits their own personal interpretation. I think God is not stubborn enough to not let any room for advancement which all of us humans are dependent upon in our everyday life and for the future. Bahaullah said " their is no greater enemy to oneself than himself" ..which makes more sense than blaming Satan or the devil for everything bad or Jesus for any thing good..we suffer the consequences of our own actions...Bahaullah said "The earth is but one country and mankind its citizens" why are we fighting against each other on religious topics but instead be kind and love one another in perfect harmony and in peace. Bahai ,Christians, Atheists, Muslims....whatever...I believe Gods light is in all of us and it beams in us in a very unique way individually. It is our own duty as human beings to discover our own destiny for both our spiritual and physical fulfillment.
Please check out message from heaven by Rachel lubbe and A lamp in the dark by chist pinto and Before the wrath by ingenuity films for the whole truth.
"This is why Christians like no other religions have formed into so many denominations within their own religion. Birthing their own religion according to what suits their own personal interpretation."
While there are many denominations, they all agree on the core doctrines regarding salvation through Christ alone. Certainly there's always going to be disagreements - but we still regard each other as brothers & sisters in Christ. The only exceptions would be Jehova's Witnesses, Mormons, Christadelphians, & few others. This phenomena isn't limited to religion though. It's human nature. Even if you look at major accepted scientific theories, you'll find copious disagreement, but that doesn't invalidate the theory.
"I believe Gods light is in all of us and it beams in us in a very unique way individually." That's a universal philosophy that allows the individual to live out their lives with complete freedom. I know it's offensive to many that Christianity is exclusive. I believe it's of paramount importance to find out if the Christian God exists. I couldn't imagine anything worse than rejecting Him, and then finding out when it's too late. It's a price I'm not willing to pay.
I saw this debate a few years ago, and I didn't like it. Real christians should be able to listen before speaking.
@@HG-ow9jn I get your point. The problem is that when we don't listen carefully we don't actually want to understand in the first place.
No wonder people dont like religion now. they are so closed mind . Do not want to learn the truth!
Jesus Christ is the truth. God manifest in the flesh.
John 1: 1-14
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."

I just looked at his net worth and it's estimated from 1 1/2 to 5 million back in '80s so you tell me how asomeine who spends all his life studying Bible gets that rich by not working and only praying God? Bible say you cannot worship God and money at the same time.
He did a fantastic job at interrupting those people when they were making good points him and the host worked together at that why not just let one finish you're statement and reply afterwards ? That's usually how political debates go notice how those people never interrupted them even when they were interrupted and kept their cool? That's not how a Christian should act, does the Bible not teach fairness? I mean if you're right and you know someone else is wrong why stop the other mid sentence other then to persuade viewers/audience by interrupting their presentation to make it seam more weak/inconsistent ? Surely you would get your chance to prive them wrong after the other party made their statement? How can you deny something you do not know before truly investigating it for yourself? Why does he need to directly state the other party is wrong everytime and not just give the evidence as to why they are wrong and let you decide for yourself? This got me thinking, eye opening interview 👀
@mehrshadvr4
He had written books that sold very well. That has nothing to do with his belief in God.
He has shown through his radio show, Traveling and speaking, and through his books and his other work, he faithfully defended the faith. He spoke the Death Burial and Resurrection. Repentance. Faith by grace through faith. He studied the cults so we all could spot false teaching and false prophets because the Bible writers wrote about it clearly. Jesus warned of false christs and said to watch out and don't believe them.
Great job Done by Dr Walter Martin.

imagine 100 years after Jesus Christ, two christian sitting on front of a rabbi and trying to prove that Jesus was fulfilment of prophecies of Jewish faith..... of course rabbi is not to going to accept and say it is nonsense and Jesus was a liar .... the same word Dr. Martin uses unfortunately about Bahaullah.
That’s your reasoning? Really?
You got to be a Baha’i with that sort of thinking. Any thinking person & genuine Truth seeking person would then test the claims. Plenty of Jews have accepted Jesus Christ Yeshua HaMashiach as Lord & Saviour. The literal Son of God. He died & Rose again.
Brother, don’t take this lightly. You m9ght want to test the claims of Christ. His Words don’t die.
Jesus Christ Yeshua HaMashiach *Never* sinned. Not once. So lying is not of His nature. Lying belongs to the devil & he is the father of it. Therefore, Baha’u’llah is liar. He is from the devil
Some rabbis have accepted him and have become Christians or messianic Jews. Others have invented a 2 messiah theory to account for all the prophesies that Jesus Christ fulfilled. Messiah ben-jospeh (The suffering Messiah), and Messiah ben-David (The conquering king).

Tha fact of the matter is that some minds are not yet ready to grasp the full meaning and significance of GOD'S MANIFESTATIONS. Proof of it is the notion of the "TRINITY", "GOD THE FATHER", HE is THE FATHER OF HUMANITY i.e. "GOD IS LIFE", "GOD THE SON" properly it's "GOD THE SUN", meant to "ILLUMINE" HUMANITY. "GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT", a redundancy, there is only GOD, HE established a "COVENANT" with HUMANITY (not the false "Chosen People"), to "UPDATE HIS GUIDANCE" in accordance to "HUMANITY'S SPIRITUAL NEEDS" through HIS "TIMELY MANIFESTATIONS" overwhelming a mortal with "HIS HOLY SPIRIT". Up to this day, countless creatures can not fathom that phenomenon, JESUS WAS NOT "GOD HIMSELF, BUT THE INCARNATION OF THAT HOLY SPIRIT" (valid redundance). This all stems from the "INDIVIDUALIZING" of GOD in the Old Testament, and the selling of the visualization of "HEAVEN" being the "FIRMAMENT" / OUTERSPACE, while still claiming "GOD IS LIFE", but it is difficult to convey the idea that "OUR SOUL" is "GOD WITHIN EACH BEING", if all "BELIEVERS" would float with the tide and look into the BAHA'I TEACHINGS, they would learn it include a clarification that "HEAVEN / HELL are STATES OF THE HUMAN MIND", as in "The Absense of GOD in the mind and heart of each is the presence Satan", and to be honest, Satan have so called intellectuals, sages, gurus and false "apostols's" minds in a not. Actually it's that "CLOUD" of willful neglect and staying in "BELIEVING", refusing the opportunity to "VERIFY". A "BAHA'I FRIEND" here, only a friend, in order to not misrepresent the faith with my conviction that "The Bible" is in reality a SEVERANCE from GOD based on hate and REVENGE for the accomplishments of Egypt and claiming credit for "Monotheism". Beginning with the "FORBIDDEN FRUIT", I've recognize it all a Satan's Theatrical Production that continues to this day with wars, destruction and the dismantling of the human essence. In short "The Church" have been nothing more than Satan's recruiting centers, with His marionettes get filthy rich off it.
Do you think that Baha’i came to bring peace on earth? Yes. The Baha’i is a friend of the world. Most non religious people would agree and respect this religion because they reject the narrow way of the Bible believer born again types.

1. If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
2 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4 Ye shall walk after the Lord your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.
So - it is GOD that proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
OR - follow and go after other gods, which you have not know, and it's these that lead astray that say you won't be alone with "let us" with "let us serve them"
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father but by him. That means everything OTHER than Jesus Christ isn't him. Isn't of him, doesn't know him, and isn't in him.

I DO NOT KNOWN WHY YESHUA WOULD HAVE NEEDED SCANTIFICATION BEFORE HE CAME INTO THE WORLD?
Why does Dr. Martin keep saying that "those who pierced" Jesus will see him return when, clearly, those who pierced them are not around anymore, for they died in the first century; unless "those who pierced him" is to be understood only figuratively, in which case, the Baha'i are right, for, in a figurative sense, those would have crucified Christ WOULD see him in the person of Baha'u'llah (whoever that would be .. the Jews? the Italians? the Roman Catholics, who inherited the spiritual legacy of the Roman Empire?)?
He's referring to the second coming of Jesus Christ in the book of revelation.
Revelation 1:7
"Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen."
@@mr.alithea7324 No, he's trying to make that case that the perpetrators ofJesus's crucifixion - "those who pierced him" - are the same people who will be around (2000 years later!) to witness Jesus return. My question is: how is that possible that eyewitnesses to an event that occurred 2,000 years ago will still be alive to witness Jesus "coming in the clouds"? Wouldn't they be long dead, if this passage is understood literally? The only way that this is possible is if the phrase "those who pierced him" is taken symbolically or figuratively, in which case, the Baha'is' make an excellent point: that the spiritual (not literal) heirs of those who crucified Jesus see him in an equally spiritual way: in the person of Baha'u'llah.
The other option, which is the one I believe, is that Jesus DID return back in the days when "those who pierced him" where still alive, for Christ's parousia is always in the form of the Church. As soon as the Holy Spirit descended, Christ returned in the form of the apostles who formed the Church.
It either refers to the Jews in general as a nation who pierced him, or those who were literally there during the crucifixion and are now dead will see him when he returns. In either case, both living and dead at the second coming will see his return, and all will be judged.
Rev 20: 4-5
"And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished."
Rev 20: 11-12
"And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works."
Plus a thief means (you can not k now it when the thief snaches your bug or something)in other ways it means always be prepared for it alwstlys shouldnt be sprituall sleeping.
Baha’is don’t compare religions. We believe the revelations received by each messenger are chapters of Gods guidance to humanity. Baha’u’llah’s central message is the oneness of God, the oneness of humanity and the oneness of religion. His message was that God had set in place forces to overcome barriers that divide societies such as race, class, creed and nation. Whether you accept it or not that’s entirely up to you but just how doesn’t this make sense to anyone?
It doesn't make sense because the different religions of the world have fundamentally contradicting views/doctrines on God and Salvation. For example, the Baha'is recognize Moses, Jesus Christ, and Mohammed all as messengers of God. For example, Muslims claim that Allah(God) has no sons, but Christianity states that Jesus Christ the only begotten son of God is the Saviour of the World, who died on the cross for our sins. There are many other contradictions such as Jihad, dietary laws, marriage, etc. If they were all messengers of God why do they have fundamental contrary views of God, life, and salvation?
So your wrong because most religions disagree fundamentally, Example, Muslims don't believe Jesus is God and we protestant Christians do. Pope Francis says you don't need Jesus to go to heaven, but the King James Bibke says you do.
Jesus himself said, You can only go to heaven through him, that's why what your saying doesn't make sense
How do Bahais not see that the revelations received by each messenger contradict each other? How can there be oneness of religion when these messengers all believed different things? It cant be a rainy, sunny, windy, snowy, day all at once. That is what Bahais are attempting to do with their faith. The faith is very humanitarian based which is noble. However, that is not going to cut it. Bahais are big on investigating the truth but how can Bahais truly investigate the truth when everything has to be filtered and approved by the Universal house of justice ? That is a form of control and manipulation. I could keep going but I'll stop here.
Its because the age of that time continuously changes. But all world religions acknowledge that the is only One God, and that He desires to be worshipped alone.@@mr.alithea7324
Gotta hand it to the Bahá'ís for dealing with the myriad purposeful mispronunciations of Bahá'u'lláh's name without getting irritated. LOL BTW, I came to believe in Jesus _through_ Bahá'u'lláh. He convinced me of the truth of Jesus Christ. And btw, we have the original writings of Baha'u'llah (Ba-HA-o-LA) in meticulous transitions, something Christians would give their eye teeth for if they had Jesus' actual words on paper, not just the reported sayings. You can know if Bahá'u'lláh is the truth by reading His writings and learning about His life. It wouldn't hurt to learn about him. Oh, one more thing, Jesus said no one comes to the Father except through Me. Bahá'u'lláh _is_ the Father. He establishes the brotherhood of man under one loving Creator. You can't become a Bahá'í without believing in Jesus.
A false Jesus, not the true Jesus Christ. Muslims have to believe in Jesus too, but they believe in a false Jesus, not the true Jesus.
@@valeriereneeharper Well, first, Bahá'u'lláh never claimed to be Jesus Himself but the return of the Christ Spirit, in other words, the Holy Spirit sent by God. Do you think it's impossible that God could send another like Jesus? And yet Jesus Himself said He would return with a new name in the Glory of the Father (the title Bahá'u'lláh means Glory of God). Do you think it's impossible that this prophecy could have been fulfilled?
It wouldn't hurt to actually investigate the life and claims of Bahá'u'lláh, and you may just find, as I did, that the promises of Jesus had been fulfilled back in the 1800s, as so many Christians were expecting at the time. It's very exciting! To think we were living in the time of the fulfillment of Jesus' prophecies blew me away when I first heard about this 60 years ago. Remember, there are still Jews after 2,000 years. We're always given a choice whether to accept or reject what God has bestowed upon us. I couldn't find anything false about Bahá'u'lláh, not His life nor His teachings. He suffered 40 years of torture, imprisonment, deprivation, and exile yet never wavered in His determination to bring the human race together in love. Seems to me we need this more than ever now.
@@valeriereneeharperClaiming something is false without researching is blind ideology ... You do have the power to distinguish right from wrong please take some time to learn the actual teachings and standings of the Bahai Faith before making such a bold statement if I were to do that I would undermine God as I do believe in the Bahai faith but at the same time I also know that Jesus is a messenger of God and am yet to see how the Bahai faith disagrees with Christianity in teachings besides obvious social laws which Bahais have that are appropriate for this day and age. Medieval times superstition was heavily invested in that age also my interpretation why the Bible uses all the symbolic references as people were more accustomed to that way of reasoning but times have changed
I respectfully disagree but Bahá'u'lláh is not the Father. If I understand correctly what ‘Abdu'l-Bahá was saying in Some answered questions about the Sun in the sky and two Mirrors(the Holy Spirit and the Son) reflecting its light on the Earth. So when Jesus is saying that He is God he is referencing the image of the Sun in the perfect Mirror. The Bahá'u'llah is the same.
Also there was something about the Sun that can't come to Earth because it will destroy everything in its light.
P.S. I'm sorry English is my second language and I didn't read Some answered questions in English so there are probably some mistakes but I hope it will be good enough to explain my point.
@@IllarionYolgin Well, not sure where you're coming from, but Jesus promised that He would return in the Glory of the Father. Thus, Bahá'u'lláh (the Glory of God) fulfills the promises of Jesus. Father is symbolic of God, of course, but in the sense that Bahá'u'lláh firmly established the oneness of mankind under the Fatherhood of God, He does fulfill that prophecy, at least He does for me. The Lord's Prayer promises His coming: "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." I think it's reasonable to think that heaven is a peaceful condition, and this is what Bahá'u'lláh, the Prince of Peace, has come to bring. And He was literally a prince descended from Zoroastrian kings, by the way. He fulfills so many prophecies it would be impossible to list them all here, but there are books if you're interested, that go into them in great detail.
BTW, your English is fine, maybe even better than some native speakers. 😉
Matthew 1 is the bloodline of Joseph and the Royal inheritance of Christ through his adoption by Joseph…. So actually the Government was on his shoulders according to scripture… the scepter will not depart from Judah, and Christ is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah! ❤
Onñy ome jesus
Dave more prayers for your soul!
How is Jesus god?
Please my Christian friends answer my questions
In Matthew 27:46 tell us that Jesus was praying to god asking why has he forsaken Jesus..
If Jesus is god himself does that mean he has forsaken himself?? Or god pray to god?
John 14:28 tell us that Jesus said his father is greater than himself ??
Does it mean Jesus is Greater than himself if he is god ??
Hebrews 1:5-9 tell us his father( god) begat Jesus
Did he begat himself if he was god ??
John 10:30 tell us that Jesus and his father are one . Which also proves he’s god.
But in John 17:21 also tell us that Jesus and his disciples are one.
Does that mean his disciples are gods??
John1:18 tell us that no man has ever seen god in any time.
Was Jesus seen when he still walked on earth and alive ?
If Jesus has risen like what Walter said
why haven’t we seen Jesus in this 21centry ?
He said Jesus raised the dead which proves Jesus is god
Where are those people that have been raised are they still alive untill today ??
About the trinity ?? I haven’t come across the verse where Jesus himself said there are three gods in one . And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord. Mark 12:29
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:23-24 Jesus has said worship one god in spirit,
Why do you worship Jesus ?
I’m so confused with the veiw of Jesus being god to Martin Walter
Jusus is of the world tomorrow
Can they rise any from thr death
Jesus will not change his name
Christ were Catholic or Orthodox or Protestant . thare are 45000 sake of Christianity
first make peace between your self which is not possible
Baha'i's faith cannot be compared with the christian catholic faith. It is related at all.

Jesus said the Gospel of the kingdom would be the Gospel just prior to his return. The same as the Gospel of the kingdom being near, preached by John and Jesus in the 69th week of years prophesied in Daniel 9:24-27. The Gospel presently is not addressed to Israel by the Xpistos ( English transliteration Christ, which if translated means anointed) as was 1 of Jesus' purposes in his earthly ministry. The present Gospel of Jesus dying for our sins, being buried, and raised from the dead on the third day, all of this according to the scriptures, and the fact that more than 500 witnesses saw him after his resurrection, is addressing "ALL OF MANKIND" prior to the 70th week described throughout the Old Testament, Matthew 24 and similar verses in the other Gospels, Revelation 6-19. The Epistles explain the present Gospel and all that obtains under Grace through faith for forgiveness of sins, salvation, eternal life, born of the last, second, heavenly Adam. Heavenly citizenship, seated in the heavenlies with Christ, waiting for the adoption of our bodies, transferred into the kingdom which originates in heaven until Jesus begins to reign on earth from heaven in Revelation 11:15, then returns in chapter 19 where his kingdom is then on earth....
The age of grace by the gospel (faith, believing on Jesus Christ) is a dispensation until the millennial reign. Is that what you are saying?
So she denies Jesus the Christ, his healings are insignificant as to who he is.
Isaiah forewrote what Messiah would do, so it actually directly shows who he is, He told John the baptists messengers, "what did John see"? I healed, cast out demons, the lame leap, the blind see. After that John was beheaded. Died believing. It's a direct correlation as to who he is.
Mostly because that illustration for interpretation was the best way for that period in time. And time went on we advanced as a civilization things have changed why?
And the repeatedly state they do not deny Jesus Christ how can you say that after watching the interview?
@tunie-qy8yf You didn't listen closely did you. They deny the true Jesus. wow you need to watch again. Dr Walter Martin exposed them and their false beliefs about Jesus
@tunie-qy8yf Scripture specifically states GOD does not change. Isaiah "My Word will Not come back Void I will do All my pleasure "
@@BlueskyGladue who said God changed? You're implying Bahai's believe God changes that is not true
They love to use the word interpretation whenever they're trapped and don't have the answers 🙄
So why is his interpretations inconsistent?
Because anyone that debates this stuff is using interpretation. There is no empirical evidence to proof or debate any of this subjects.

Jesus is big business. Too big to fail. The Christian message has been honed, sculpted and polished for 2000 years. "Jesus is coming soon." I've been hearing that for 70 years. Keep waiting, Dr. Martin. He's been here already. You missed Him
JESUS never said He is son of god but say son of man means a prophet.
I can only be that some beings are NOT at a stage capable of comprehending the phenomenon of "GOD'S MANIFESTATIONS" or GOD HIMSELF. Then the preposterous notion of "JESUS IS GOD IN THE FLESH", clearly a reference to "GOD AN INDIVIDUAL", they either lack the mental capacity to even imagine "GOD IS, AND IS PART OF ALL HIS CREATION", to many, that is saying too much. Then again there are beings that are void of God's VIBRATIONS which makes them "PERSONIFICATIONS OF SATAN", in which case they're mute points, wasted efforts, "Merchants of Faith", and that's a hurdle on the path to achieve "HUMAN HARMONY". Satan made sure to poison the minds with His Theatrical Masterpiece Production that opens with "GENESIS", turned out a most lucrative BUSINESSES.
Jesus was clearly God in the Flesh.
1 Timothy 3:16
“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”
22min, jesus said, telling the scribes and the pharisees that he came from heaven. Of course, we know at his first coming he was born of the virgin Mary and did not come from heaven. That is what we believe as Muslim.
THE SATAN AND THE FALLEN ANGELS HAD NO NATURAL PARENTS. THEY STILL SINNED. THEY STILL FELL.
YESHUA NEVER SPOKE ABOUT HIS SUPERNATUAL CONCEPTION. HE SAID THE FATHER HAD SCANTIFIED HIM AND SENT HIM INTO THE WORLD.
If two men claim to be Jesus, one of them must be wrong - Dire Straits. I'm pretty sure if Jesus returned, it would have been a big deal & you would need zero faith to see it or believe it
Matthew 24:42-44
Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
2 Peter 3:1-18
But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you,[a] not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies[b] will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.[c]
Revelation 3:3
Remember, then, what you received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come against you.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-28
The Day of the Lord
5 Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers,[a] you have no need to have anything written to you. 2 For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. 4 But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief. 5 For you are all children[b] of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. 6 So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober. 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night. 8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. 9 For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him. 11 Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.
Luke 17
English Standard Version
The Coming of the Kingdom
20 Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed, 21 nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.”[h]
Luke 17:22-32
22 And he said to the disciples, “The days are coming when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23 And they will say to you, ‘Look, there!’ or ‘Look, here!’ Do not go out or follow them. 24 For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day.[i] 25 But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. 26 Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot-they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, 29 but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all- 30 so will it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day, let the one who is on the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away, and likewise let the one who is in the field not turn back. 32 Remember Lot's wife.

I am an African Adventist Baha’i. The Adventist side of me is that I am a vegetarian. The Baha’i in me is that I love people of ALL religions. The Baha’i Faith is a new cycle of human power that brings humanity together. It generates energy & desire to fellowship with people of different tribes, races, nationality & religion. It's a power that works to exterminate from the face of the earth any feeling of superiority or inferiority. It's an invitation to fellowship with diverse peoples of the world. It promotes the use of scientific and prayerful ways of solving problems. It's a power that instills in individuals & society the confidence to question ancient beliefs & institutions that promote hatred & fear. It has immense capacity to wash away division which leads to conflict.

That is how you make peace between Muslims and Christians because Christ is the Messenger (the perfect mirror) and the God (the image in it).

Good job to these brave Bahai's, a new church of Christ is being made everyday, Christ Himself said "A house divided cannot stand".

This is why we need the tradition of the Catholic Church to help us understand the Bible, after all it was the Catholic Church who gave us the Bible. The Catholic Church had to teach for years before any New Testament book was written and the tradition of the church helps us understand what the scriptures are saying. Martin Luther’s bible alone doctrine has caused so much confusion in Christianity and is responsible for the thousands of denominations in Christianity.

So much passive aggression from Walter Martin. Believe what you wish to believe but don't denigrate others for their beliefs (and in the name of Christ!) or insinuate they're a cult. And the host constantly cutting of Mary...bit laughable. Baha'u'llah's Message is there to deliver a new Revelation for humanity. Look at society. We are desperately in need for new teachings and spiritual laws. Look to it and behold how marvellous His Revelation is.
What I got out of this about baha'i: Example: 1) I graduated from High School Valedictorian. What separated me from 4 other students was just one essay assignment grade where I got a A-, the next behind me also got an A- on the same paper assignment, but my grade score was 93 and theirs was 91. All four of us got a perfect GPA of 4.0. Six other students after got a 3.99.
The 2nd example is, my GPA was 2.03 and I smoked dope and in a haze during my whole High School experience where most classes I skipped out of or arrived late and the highest score of all classes I took in High School I ever achieved was a B in PE.
Baha'i unites both of these statements into one truth. Champions and attests to the oneness of all unity, and I'm choking on the Cowpoop effluent. That's so full of crap I can't stand it. Either I'm one or the other, and more closely resemble the 2nd remark.
Combining both makes the whole thing a turd; a lie. Irregardless one is true, the other made up. Jesus is who he says he is; because he is...whether you believe him or not - OR - any combination with him with something else, like Baha'i does unifying all "stories" with truth equates to truth or with the power so powerful to take cow poop and your house and combine it with a lawnmower, where a lawnmower rides thru your whole house in all the bedrooms..and all through the house and flings cowpoop all over.. and Baha'i with a lawnmower and cow poop, is the only way that makes it an even more wonderful house.
SUMMATION: Baha'i. What a total pile of crap.

If yes please use it and learn about the faith and make a conclusion on that if you are not willing you cannot criticise them... That's just common sense
SATAN IS OPOSE TO JESUS

YOU HAVE TO GET THE HOLY SPIRIT
THE COMFORTER
HOLY SPIRIT GIVEN BY GOD AND JESUS
Walter Martin is so wrong on the whole John 8:58. First of all he didn't say it in hebrew. Other than that he didn't say I am the eternal god. He added words to that text. He did not use the Divine name because if you go into the Greek Septuagint on the Scripture it doesn't even use the same terminology. There's no link. When the Bible says that Jesus said the father is greater than he is that does away with the whole Co equal argument. Also when he was resurrected which means he should be back to his god-like status he said that he was ascending to his god. God does not have a god. Also looking Hebrews 1:4 where it says that he became greater than the angels. This whole trying to say he said this as a human here is not going to do away with the fact that you believe that he's god.
Here are some 'links' from the Old Testament that may clear it up for you.
Isaiah 44: 6
“Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.”
2 Samuel 22: 32
"For who is God, save the Lord? and who is a rock, save our God?"
2 Samuel 22: 46
"The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation."
All bona fide Greek scholars disagree with you concerning John 8:58. I personally read the Greek New Testament daily as well as English versions of the Old and New Testament. I can read the Hebrew when I want to, I haven't fully studied all of the grammar of Hebrew.
Jesus is referred to as God by John beginning in John 1:1, the 3rd clause describing Jesus the logos as God. I will explain the Greek in the 3rd clause if you like.
John also records Jesus' words about his shared Glory in John 17:5. Paul says in Philippines 2:6-11, Jesus who was in the form of God, emptied himself and put on the form or found in the form of a servant.
In Hebrews 10 Jesus says a body was created for him. John 1:3 says there wasn't anything created that Jesus didn't create as Paul explains, thoroughly, in Colossians. Jesus being the creator of everything visible and invisible and he is before all things, and he created all things that have been created, etc.
In the New Testament alone, from Matthew to Revelation Jesus and his disciples claim he is God, and even the Jews who rejected him claim he claimed to be equal with God, that he blasphemed.
You are without knowledge and understanding of God's breathed words to claim Jesus Christ did not claim to be God.
My husband is greater than I am yet we are co equal…….
@@valeriereneeharper but God doesn’t have anyone greater than he. He is the ultimate.
