@@drewbinsky omg thank you so much for responding I love your videos and you have inspired me to travel even more. Please come to Greece I will be so happy to meet you
When I was like 6, growing up SUPER BAPTIST, I remember asking my parents and church "what if everyone is serving the same God? Like what if it's just how they learn it differently from me?" They quickly squashed that. Here I am, 35, learning about Bahai.
Yeah I used to be an athiest and I've been converting to Christianity in recent times, and I am sure God and Jesus exist and have existed but one thing that's never really sat right as I've went into it is how all these other religions don't really seem to be wrong, and all seem to have very similar moral teachings and objectives. Finding out about Bahaism has been such a revalation for me tonight.
The Holy Spirit is the only person here today that was at the beginning of creation and raised Jesus from the dead. If you have never received conviction for sin by the Holy Spirit I would then advise to be still and say here I am Jesus. Help me to understand the purpose and your willingness to spill your blood and be crucified. There is no other way to the Father but by Jesus and His saving power. The Spirit and the Bride say come Lord Jesus.
That is a miss understanding It's not that Baha'is believe in "all of them", It's the understanding that the humanity is One and There is One God, God sends Divine teachers (Moses, Jesus, Mohammad, Buddha, Krishna, etc) during diffrent times as humanity needs diffrent education / laws / social teachings at diffrent times. Its bit like an operating system of a computer being upgraded from Windows 3.1, then an upgrade came Windows 2000, Vista, XP, Windows 7, 8, and Now 10. You cant say Windows 10 is alll of them it may have foundations upon the past but it is its own identity. It does not stop the upgrades will keep coming, same thing there will be future divine teachers which God will keep send to humanity it is needed. I hope this clarifies it abit more. Have a wonderful day!
@@화이팅-t2q Christ called to find God within- same as every prophet/messenger/enlightened being in the past. Linguistically the word "religion" means to "reconnect". In sanskrit the word Dharma translates to "universal law". In hebrew/arabic - the word "Deen" means "true judgement" but also "to lower" - meaning truth is only understood through vertical causation- when we compare things to things - atoms to atoms - dust to dust- it is only horizontal causation and cannot be used to reach truth. The pursuit of truth is to seek what is above and beyond us - relating finite to the infinite. The soul originates from the "breath" of God and animates all that is living. Every soul has direct access to the infinite within himself. Fussilat 41:53 سَنُرِيهِمْ ءَايَٰتِنَا فِى ٱلْءَافَاقِ وَفِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ حَتَّىٰ يَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُ ٱلْحَقُّۗ أَوَلَمْ يَكْفِ بِرَبِّكَ أَنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ شَهِيدٌ We will show them Our signs in the horizons and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth. But is it not sufficient concerning your Lord that He is, over all things, a Witness? Qaf 50:16 وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ وَنَعْلَمُ مَا تُوَسْوِسُ بِهِۦ نَفْسُهُۥۖ وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ ٱلْوَرِيدِ And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein Al-Hashr 59:19 وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ كَٱلَّذِينَ نَسُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ فَأَنسَىٰهُمْ أَنفُسَهُمْۚ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْفَٰسِقُونَ And be not like those who forgot Allah, so He made them forget themselves. Those are the transgressors. When one studies etymology- we will find that this concept and division of "religion" as we understand it todat does not actually exist...it's a recent invention - not something the ancients understood. Dogma and blind faith are destructive and a symptom of sloth - which is spiritual/intellectual laziness. Truth is universal and not limited to any script, language, creed or race - but universally recognised by the heart. Paganism is the worship of form/matter/things/atoms/energy. God is infinite - beyond finite comprehension/imagination- to experience the presence of God is not something that can be put into words - but an experience that is beyond the 5 senses where any concept of self / I AM is annihilated. Any number divided by infinity reduces to 0. I'll let that process. Get back to me once you've had a think brother.
@@Natalie-fj7fs I better know. I have spent years in this cult. Are women allowed to become the members of the UHJ? Do Baha'is believe that the UHJ is infallible? Don't Baha'is claim that there is democracy in Baha'i administration but only male members from the ITC are promoted to the UHJ? Doesn't your UHJ demands absolute obedience from its followers? What is covenant-breaking? Why people who question the policies of the administration are ex-communicated and shunned? Aren't there administrative sanctions? I can go on and on....
@@ryana-6762 The founder, Baha'u'llah, was a Babi and before that he was a follower of the Shaykhi School of thought, a very cultish movement within the Shia Islam.
@@KBProduction I was the one who said that. We don't abandon our previous religion because we don't believe that other religions are 'wrong' and ours is 'right'. Instead, we see all religions as beautiful and distinct chapters in God's eternal Faith. What we do reject is strife and contention in the name of religion and exclusive claims that reject the truth other religions.

They have taken idle fancies for their lords and have neglected God, yet understand not. They have abandoned the most great Ocean and are hastening towards the pool, but comprehend not.

It took my favorite TH-camr to explain it to me. Thank you so much! I'm in basic training for the US Army and my battle buddy from Iran told me she was Baha'i and I didn't understand what that was. But watching this video made me understand why she respectfully sat with me in the Sunday Christian and Catholic services... Although I was there to just nap, she was kind enough to be accepting and stand up whenever we needed to stand up.
I visited Lotus temple 2 years ago during my trip to India. It was a beautiful temple (all white) and people prayed for a short time there. Even though I am a Muslim, I respect their beliefs
But why you people kept hindu surname or name and actually around Bali Ramayan was depicted beautifully in Indonesian style. I love that. Wish to visit Bali once.
@@hrishikaverma3431 Why do you say " you people" ? - that is embedded discrimination. Be more broad-minded..Abandon this "Us&Them" mentality. Its small, puny and pretty DISGUSTING.
'Muslims bow five times day.' Correction: We Muslims don't bow five times a day, we pray five times a day. In a single prayer we have to bow several times.
@Torres CapoU are not the worst of creation ok there is the devil anyways it’s up to Allah to decide that just because I’m a Muslim I don’t believe for a second I’m better than u. Anyways I don’t wanna argue with u but I implore you to do research outside of wiki. Caio
Peace, unity, love, but without discipline. It means this is all a lie and hypocrisy. True unity and love is about effort and discussing, not about tolerance which is acceptance of what one would consider as evil.
@@korosensei4384 That is my opinion based on my experience and my introspection. I don't have a religion. Your message is absolutely pointless, actually pathetic by the way.
@@axo3808 Dont get me wrong, I think the same of any major religion, not just Islam. They are dying off because most people dont find them fulfilling and the teachings and prayers are empty words that can at best hypnotize you temporarily, but they cant change a person fundamentally, only experience can. The "evil" you speak of is just people making mistakes and evolving trough their ignorance. However, I can say without a doubt that there is some kind of evil at the top of this financial system than has its fingers in media, religion, governments and companies, and for them my friend, religions serve as one of the means to divide and pacify the people, nothing more. Luckily we dont need religion to believe in God, and thats where the experience part comes in.
I'm a devout atheist myself, but I could definitely jive with the Baha'i no problem. You wanna work together and make the world a better place? Let's do this.
Contact your local Baha'i community. We're working on an innovative program that helps families and neighbourhoods create human resources in order to build communities through spiritual and social development. There is no need to believe in the Baha'i teachings, just a desire to help and serve your fellow man.

I cannot thank you enough for creating this video. I am a Baha'i and it's awesome to see an informative video about the faith because there arent very many who know us in India beyond the Lotus Temple.
Bahai is a new age (or old age) cult that posits this crazy view that God somehow created blatantly contradictory belief systems. While this is clearly absurd, Baha'i is clearly meant to pull people away from Jesus Christ, not towards him. There's only one way to God, and that is through repentance of one's sins, and placing your trust in Jesus Christ. John 14:6 “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” Matthew 7:14 "Narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it." 1 John 4:1 "Do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world." Matthew 7:15 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves."
I’m the 6th generation Baha’i from the heart of the religion home. Bahaullah says a Baha’i is recognized by the deeds not their words and identified by their character, not the name. I learned from the young age being a Baha’i’ is a path, is a way of living. It’s not about titles and having the name Baha’i. “Bahaullah says god has his Baha’is around the world without them ever heard the name of Baha’i” my grandmother used to tell me that, and now I understand what that meant. Btw they explained the prayers not completely accurate. lol
All I can say is that Drew Binsky has a way of unifying the world with his videos.. Respecting everyone's opinions and you can come to that level when you are exposed not hiding behind your keyboard attacking someone else for their belief.

@@ArmanGoshtasbe Shua'u'llah, the eldest grandson of Baha'u'llah said it best: _"I personally hesitate to commit myself [to the Baha'i faith] with the existing conditions amongst us, as today we observe only the differences of ideas, lack of cooperation, discord, enmity, selfishness, and hatred-while we should believe that smiles are better than frowns, kindness better than coldness, commendation better than criticism, sympathy better than deception, love better than hate, friendship better than enmity, unity better than discord, and peace better than chaos."_ (A Lost History of the Baha'i Faith, by Eric Stetson) The hate against different opinions is impregnated in the roots of the Bahá’í Faith. This just came up very early after The Bab's death when followers of Bahá'u'lláh and Subh-i-Azal started to kill each other.
But not one Baha’i masters it. You know why? Cause SIN & we’re still in fallen world. Not a perfect one. Bahai fits in Revelation. With NWO church. Satanic cult
So this religion butcher other religion teaching and then mixed it. Sounds like The Avenger™, sounds like what im gonna do to my salad and my tabletop game
I went to satanic school too. They focus too on Moralism. One of pastore said to us ( i forgot his name) "there isnt any Good or evil. Theres only when you doing that things the peoples will treat same as your wat"
I grew up right next to the Bahai Temple in Wilmette. Every morning I would get up and look out my bedroom window, which looked right out on the temple.
I'm a Muslim , I just figured out I do Baha'i without really knowing it Let everyone to whatever they want even if it wasn't accepted in your culture , because God would decide ❤️ So a quick question , will I be still be accepted by God even if I didn't do the rituals , primilage in Baha'i ?? Love Humanity , Love Islam , Love God
The thing is that they believe on Oneness of God thats Allah but they dont beleive Muhammad as the last prophet. So you are muslim alhmdulillah and Islam spread n teaches peace.
@@haniadnan2259 Islam only teach peace by killing converting & turning everyone into muslim .. No matter how much Bloodshed u have to do ..

That So Islam & Peace is a Joke dont compare with Bahai..
I'm Muslim and i am just this video for education and getting to know new things. I just want to say whatever religion you come from or even if you don't believe in god, there is nothing wrong with getting to know new things.
Interesting how religious Muslim loanwords from Arabic are used in English and French, such as "inshallah" which is very respectful and good and "allahu akbar" which its dangerous to tell that because you can be confused as a terrorist, Edit : "wallah" is way more used in French
For the first time in my life, I met a member of the Bahai Faith today. He is a very nice man and we enjoyed chatting. He was from Iran originally & was my Uber Driver. I knew basically nothing about Bahai but he invited me to his house since we live in the same neighborhood. This flabbergasted me since in this day and age, in America, when I wave & say hi to my neighbors, they look at me as if I've asked them to do something improper. His name was Farhad and he was proselytizing, but in such a gentle, organic way, I had no negative vibe from him. I was very nice. Just a nice chat. Now I'm learning a bit about Bahai, & it values what I've valued despite my own shortcomings. We all fall short from time to time. I'm not much of a joiner, since my early 30's when I spent a few years as a Rosicrucian. But I'm tempted to go and visit. He promised me Iranian food. 🙂
Here are some lesser known facts about the Baha'i Faith: 1) Women are not allowed to serve the most Supreme Administrative Body, the Universal House of Justice. So there is no Equality of Men and Women. 2) Baha'is are working to establish a Baha'i inspired New World Order, a Baha'i Super-state, headquartered in Haifa, Israel. 3) Baha'is shun (ex-communicate) Covenant-Breakers and execrate them. 4) Baha'is persecute the so called covenant-breakers, they have desecrated the grave of Diya'u'llah who was buried next to his father Baha'u'llah. 5) Baha'is have as many as 15 splinter groups, sects. 6) Baha'is have their religious text Copyrighted and religious symbols Trademarked. 7) Baha'is teach their 'faith' everywhere except in Israel for unknown reasons! 8) Baha'is lie regarding their population, they claim their population in India to be over 1.8 Million, while the government census of 2011, reveals their figure to be 4572. 9) Baha'is selectively translate their writings for western audience and there is very heavy Baha'i censorship. 10) There is no independent Baha'i Scholarship, all Baha'i texts needs to be approved before publication. 11) Baha'is see all other religions as corrupted and dead. They believe that every religion has a life of 1000 years. There is nothing like "unity of religions" - they believe their religion is superior to all other religions. 12) Baha'is believe that Baha'u'llah is the sender of all prophets, revealer of all holy books and Lord of the Lords! 13) Babis (predecessors of Baha'is) have killed many Muslims in Iran. Baha'is have also killed a few Azalis. 14) Baha'is believe their supreme body (The UHJ) to be infallible, they call it as 'Seat of God'! Ask some questions about the above points to Farhad, see what are his answers.

thanks so much for creating this! Learning about the Bahai faith when I was 12 years old changed my vision of the world and my life, I was raced in a non-conventional kind of atheist family and I could never understand the meaning of GOD until my loving yoga teacher, who was like a spiritual mum explained all this and more to me. I shared many celebrations with her Bahai family and friends over the years, I always felt so welcomed, accepted and there was never pressure to make a decision about "converting" to it. in fact, until today I'm not officially a Bahai, but in my heart I am. It makes me really happy to see that this truth keeps expanding and reaching our brothers and sisters hearts all over the world!
Wrong! *Genesis 9:18-27:* The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham and Japheth, and from them came the people of the whole earth. One day, Noah drank some wine, became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent. Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father naked . . . . When Noah awoke and found out what had happened, he said, “Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of _SLAVES_ will he be to his brothers.”
@Justin Time, Baha'is do not get involved in partisan politics. We do believe in proven science and scientists around the world have sounded the alarm about climate change.

Steve SarowitzDrew Binsky is a respectful friend of mine as we spesk in facebook and youtube few times.

i grew up with bahais in Iran, the persecution They faced after 79 was horrible and its still ongoing. My closest bahai friend has now left Iran and is depressed over that.. :(
Completely relate, my whole dad and his family (2 sisters mum and passed away dad) fled to Australia. It's left them scarred from the horrible things the Muslims did...
They are actually prosecuted. All Baha'i activities are banned in Iran. The Babis and the Baha'is have very bad reputation in Iran due to the violent acts committed by them in the past. The Babis were responsible for at least 4 civil wars in Iran that caused a toll of 1000s of lives. Baha'i Faith is considered a political cult in Iran thus it is banned. In Israel also Baha'is are not allowed to teach their religion to the Israelis.
Most of the teachings I heard in this video resembles those of Islam (caring for one another, loving other prophets, believing that all races are the same, ..)
Alex GR christianity is a not a true religion bcz it believes in humans not god, Hazrat Isa (AS), AKA JESUS (AS) was the prophet of God. He was given many miracles like resurrection of the dead but only by the help of God, it is said that when he went to see god, and asked Allah if he (ISA) could see Allah. So Allah said something and then Hazrat Musa looked at the Mountains (which were looking at Allah, reflecting, Allahs light, glory) Hazrat Isa fainted
Naser Emtesali That adds to the beauty of the religion imo: The whole point of Baha’i is that religion and humanity evolves, and that all together they are the collective culture of humanity. So having architecture that evolves and is inspired by another building shows how religion evolves as more knowledge is gained.
@@shayne-1880 The first house of worship built in Ishqabad (Turkmenistan) was a copy of Mosque. It stands no more and the govt never permitted them to build it again. The Baha'is are not allowed to teach their beautiful religion to Israelis.
Ché Bullett the Baha’i Faith is not a cult. I’ve been a member for many years we don’t have any rituals, traditions, and have done many community based service and spreading of kindness and wellbeing in our communities. Helping people, and being service to humanity. Call on your local Baha’i community If your doubtful.
It is a beautiful faith. I would actually say it's the perfect faith. I'm not a perfect Bahai and I have struggled with the feelings of not being good enough due to substance issues which I am overcoming. What I do strive to do is serve everyday with music and bring joy into the space where I am located and always try to elevate the conversation. I don't say all my prayers everyday and I sometimes still lose my fight with substances, but I really do try to make my actions, thoughts and deeds into a beautiful prayer each day.
They shun and excommunicate people for not submitting to their supreme administrative order that is ruled by 9 men (no women allowed at the supreme administrative institution), collectively believed to be infallible.
@@NaserEmtesali it's helped me turn my whole being around, gain more focus and love. It's been valuable to study. The ego is a beast and it takes over most people without them ever being aware of it. It's what you would have encountered, and it's brutal to say the least. There's two types of Bahai, those that are born into the faith and those that find the faith. The people that find the faith are the truly special ones that try to create huge change for the better. The other ones don't.
@@Laayon19 Yes. All of them (the Baha'i leaders and the UHJ) were/are very egoistic people. They excommunicated anyone who disagrees with them. Try to learn why Shoghi Effendi excommunicated his siblings, cousins, uncles, aunts and parents.
_In the Tablet of Ittihad, Bahá'u'lláh describes in some detail several features of unity. He states that unity in the first place is the unity of religion, meaning that people must follow the same religion which is His Faith in this day.

He asserts that in past dispensations such a unity has always brought victory to the Cause of God._ bahai-library.com/rev_bahaullah_4/taherzadeh_revelation_bahaullah_4.txt
All good things u hear about any religion is always tip of the iceberg is when they are minority!! The moment one religion becomes majority that's when they try to force it on others!!! Buddhists were called as the most non violent community but myanmar and sri Lanka is now ruled by crazy blood loving monks
Liju Oommen that is a legitimate concern as history has shown that to be the case. There are explicit laws in the Baha’i Faith that we are not supposed force our religion on anyone. In fact if the religion no longer be a source of unity and peace, if it causes conflict, then it better not exist at all. That’s also one of the Baha’i teachers. Given the actions and practice of many Bahá’ís I feel that this shouldn’t be the case.
@@parvizdeamer I hope once this faith becomes majority then it doesn't turn against other ppl!! Only hope.. Nothing else!! For me all religion is the same!! Ppl who can't find their moral stand relying on a imaginary story book for rules n regulations!
Liju Oommen it shouldn’t. We are told it better to be killed than to kill, and that we can’t force our beliefs on others. You raise a good point about the source it morals. But given that religion has always existed in some form is it possible that the morals that are so normal to us now, had their source in religion? Which is why you don’t need to have a religion to practice the current accepted moral standards? Because the religions of the past did what they were supposed to do and effected a change in the fundamental values of humankind? I understand most of our western morals came from Christianity?

@@NaserEmtesali The Baha'i Faith is absolutely not a cult. The first tenet of the Baha'i Faith is the independent investigation of truth, which is in direct oppostiion to the idea of brainwashing. Cults are very secretive, while it's obvious from this video that we Baha'is are very open in sharing our Faith. In addition, there is no individual hierarchy in the Baha'i Faith. The members of the Universal House of Justice are servants of the Faith. Last;y, cults shun former members who leave and the Baha'i Faith does not do this. People are free to leave the Faith whenever they want to without any penalty.

I assume you're referring to the Shrine of the Bab halfway up the side of Mount Carmel. It's where the remains of the Bab, the forerunner of Baha'u'llah, are interred. Baha'i temples are houses of worship. You are right, though, it is amazing. As are the other buildings on Mount Carmel, and the gardens surrounding them.
@Yamin I don't, Islam makes more sense when I read about the Bahai how it breaks it down how spiritual and loving and peaceful Islam is. I especially love the way Rumi breaks down Islam and explains what it means alot better then Suni and Shias. That's just me. I'm liberal when it comes to believing in one God. What ever works for you and makes you become loving and understanding towards humanity in general. And respect and love your fellow human no matter what they believe in. Let's be real, not even to Sunis believe in thd same way every individuals got an opinion or some even if it is tiny bit different that works for them.
@Yamin I believe Islam is complete, I don't think this guy is a prophet just has interpreted Islam in a way I can relate to. Definitely think Mohammed pbuh is last messenger but for some reason I interpret his message in different way than alog of Muslims I know. I interpret the meaning of alot of things the prophet said znd did differently. I think the basis of it all is Love. 🤷🏻♂️
We are not trying to mix religions. The Baha'i Faith recognizes the divine origin of all religions. They came at different times through history to progressively reveal the Word of God. The spiritual teachings of all religions agree: love, unity, brotherhood, generosity, forgiveness, truthfulness, etc. The social teachings may change according to the time and place each religion appears: for example, Jews and Muslims were prohibited from eating pork because they had no means of properly preserving it against disease, but that law makes no sense in our modern age. Most of the major disagreements between religions are due to mankind's faulty interpretation of teachings, most of which were issues that do not really matter in the ordinary lives of people. Examples include the Holy Trinity, the Seal of the Prophets, creationism, original sin, the virgin birth, the resurrection, miracles, etc., etc. However, certain people decided that they were more qualified to interpret these things, and saw it as an opportunity to seize power and control for themselves and so created clergy, which I am convinced was never intended to be a part of religion (woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in). The purposes of religion are to enable man to know his Creator, to foster unity and love among people, to uplift and develop human capacity, and to create a civilization based on spiritual principles. Everything else is just smoke and mirrors.
I've never heard of the religion, but it sounds quite fascinating and I feel I can really relate to them. I like the fact that you can still be part of your former religion and the fact that we are all equal. Also Drew, you'd have no problem fitting into this religion as most, if not all the beliefs they have, you seem to have too.
Whenever I visit Delhi for more than a week , I made it a point to visit the Lotus temple. It's my favorite place in Delhi. I was 3 when I first visited & loved the lotus shape & started shouting & running inside the dome , my parents got scared & told me not to do so, but a baha'i person there came & smiled & said - "Enjoy my child, enjoy this place". My parents told me this story & I just love it even more. ❤️
Drew i realy admires you about your real and true review about the countries you had visited and also i liked your content because you focus more on possitivity rather than Negativity because negativity is every where but positivity is less in our life lots of love from india🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
I understand Drew was probably not aware, but in the Bahá’í faith (just like Muhammad in Islam) we do not depict let alone present pictures of Baháʼu'lláh. He lived in the 19th and 20th century so there are pictures available but Bahá’í are taught not to search them up, the only way we are supposed to see our prophet is by visiting the Baha’i gardens in Haifa where a depiction of Baháʼu'lláh is present. I am 18 years old and have never seen a picture of him, I was supposed to take my pilgrimage to Haifa one day and see him the way we are taught to...this video has a full on picture of him so if you’re Bahá’í and adhere to this basic Bahá’í teaching skip the video between 1:10 and 1:30 or so.
Actually we cant see Muhammed COMPLETELY at that time there were no such things as pictures and anyways we cannot not see any prophet in Islam and if you see on Google well the it's fake
This kinda puts it more into perspective, but I still think Bahá'í sounds a bit like a cult rather than a religion. But now I have a better opinion at least. Love your videos and stay safe!!
I understand what you mean. I'm not a religious person because I don't need to follow a faith to behave like a decent human being. Common sense is what's most important, but sadly common sense isn't common 😒
My girlfriend is Bahai and she is an amazing soul. I am a Catholic and dating a Bahai faithful and considering taking her as a wife, mehn.. It feels good. I just wanna know more about her faith and get to make our relationship work with us working together to accept each other's religious views yet be in service to one another.. 😍❤
Tell her that in Islam it says that Christians and Jews are the worst of Creation and that non Muslims go to hell In Christianity Jesus said he was God ( John 8:58, Gods name is I AM and Jesus calls himself I AM. And also John 20:27-28 ) and in Islam it says Jesus isn’t God, you can’t believe in the both in the same time
Yahshua (Jesus) is the truth and perfection in human form. But Catholicism is a pagan twist on Christianity. The original unchanged Christianity is Orthodox Christianity that Ethiopians one of the first Christians practice along to this day as well as Greeks and many in Arab countries that managed to keep their fate. The Catholics even removed the Book of Enoch, which whom is even spoken about in the New Testament of Luke 3:37
You know how it is in Africa spirits is real demons are real. I'm from Caribbean where we would practice our own 'Obeah' (Voodoo). We know this is real so make sure you make the right decision. God bless you and your wife in Yahshua mighty name
I’m not Baha’i myself but a close friend of mine is and I went to Rainn Wilson’s house a couple times for Baha’i meetings. Super cool guy and extremely down to earth.
@@themarexaanstoryteller8335 There never was a Palestine. It was a British occupation until 1948 and then the sovereign state of Israel was established. Whilst you can argue about the West Bank, you can't about Haifa which was always in the UN certified area of Israel.
As a Muslim I find it similar to the teachings of our religion and that is interesting. I've been to the Lotus temple and got to know about this religion there.
bahaai is literally islam with a different name and less prays They are basically Muslims wanted to make Islam easier because of their desires, even the book it's like the Quran Even Allah'u abha is Arabic like Allah' Akbar But because his Arabic name is Bahaa he change t to Allah'u abha. Came from the same root in Arabic and same meaning. Wow You are just mesmerized by them cuz they are new and not a lot yet.
@@Allinda. I found it interesting doesn't really means I became a fan or something sister. I strongly stand against any innovation and blasphemous act of morphing the teachings of Holy Quran and anything that goes against the sunnah of beloved prophet.

I have never heard of this faith. Thank you for educating us. Learning about different cultures and how people think educates all to better understand all.
As a humanist, i can respect a faith that doesn't discriminate anyone based on race, color, other religions but teach them to be a better human beyond borders n cultures n norms. Humanity First!
I remember somehow coming across the Bahai Faith in like 2013-14 in High School and I was so intrigued but there was something about it that turned me off at the time, I can't remember what it was. It really does sound ideal. I was raised a Chirstian, I chose a Hindu and Pagan path later on, I also practice Buddhist and Mormon beliefs and so the Bahai faith is really relevant in terms of having these beliefs without rejecting another. I will look into it again. My main advice is make sure you do your research to make sure it's right for you! ✌ Thanks Drew for sharing this!!!
*Some lesser-known facts about the Baha'i Faith:* 1) Women are not allowed to serve the most Supreme Administrative Body, the Universal House of Justice. So there is no Equality of Men and Women. 2) Baha'is are working to establish a Baha'i inspired New World Order, a Baha'i Super-state, headquartered in Haifa, Israel. 3) Baha'is shun (ex-communicate) Covenant-Breakers and execrate them. 4) Baha'is persecute the so-called covenant-breakers, they have desecrated the grave of Diya'u'llah who was buried next to his father Baha'u'llah. 5) Baha'is have as many as 15 splinter groups, sects. 6) Baha'is have their religious text Copyrighted and religious symbols Trademarked. 7) Baha'is teach their 'faith' everywhere except in Israel for unknown reasons! 8) Baha'is lie regarding their population, they claim their population in India to be over 1.8 Million, while the government census of 2011, reveals their figure to be 4572. 9) Baha'is selectively translate their writings for western audience and there is very heavy Baha'i censorship. 10) There is no independent Baha'i Scholarship, all Baha'i texts need to be approved before publication. 11) Baha'is see all other religions as corrupted and dead. They believe that every religion has a life of 1000 years. There is nothing like "unity of religions" - they believe their religion is superior to all other religions. 12) Baha'is believe that Baha'u'llah is the sender of all prophets, the revealer of all holy books and Lord of the Lords! 13) Babis (predecessors of Baha'is) have killed many Muslims in Iran. Baha'is have also killed a few Azalis. 14) Baha'is believe their supreme body (The UHJ) to be infallible, they call it as 'Seat of God'! 15) Baha'i guardian Shoghi Effendi was a closeted Homosexual, he used to spend months in Switzerland with Baha'i money.

When I was like 6, growing up SUPER BAPTIST, I remember asking my parents and church "what if everyone is serving the same God? Like what if it's just how they learn it differently from me?" They quickly squashed that. Here I am, 35, learning about Bahai.
You were ahead of your time!
Yeah I used to be an athiest and I've been converting to Christianity in recent times, and I am sure God and Jesus exist and have existed but one thing that's never really sat right as I've went into it is how all these other religions don't really seem to be wrong, and all seem to have very similar moral teachings and objectives. Finding out about Bahaism has been such a revalation for me tonight.
Discernment and a pure desire to seek God is the way. The answer is always provided when one is sincere.
Bahai is a water down version of Islam, the teachings are the same but there are some differences
The Holy Spirit is the only person here today that was at the beginning of creation and raised Jesus from the dead. If you have never received conviction for sin by the Holy Spirit I would then advise to be still and say here I am Jesus. Help me to understand the purpose and your willingness to spill your blood and be crucified. There is no other way to the Father but by Jesus and His saving power. The Spirit and the Bride say come Lord Jesus.
"What religion are you?"
"Uhh... all of them"
Edit: THIS IS A JOKE. PLEASE STOP ARGUING ABOUT RELIGION IN THE REPLIES
That is a miss understanding It's not that Baha'is believe in "all of them", It's the understanding that the humanity is One and There is One God, God sends Divine teachers (Moses, Jesus, Mohammad, Buddha, Krishna, etc) during diffrent times as humanity needs diffrent education / laws / social teachings at diffrent times. Its bit like an operating system of a computer being upgraded from Windows 3.1, then an upgrade came Windows 2000, Vista, XP, Windows 7, 8, and Now 10. You cant say Windows 10 is alll of them it may have foundations upon the past but it is its own identity. It does not stop the upgrades will keep coming, same thing there will be future divine teachers which God will keep send to humanity it is needed. I hope this clarifies it abit more. Have a wonderful day!

@@화이팅-t2q Christ called to find God within- same as every prophet/messenger/enlightened being in the past.
Linguistically the word "religion" means to "reconnect". In sanskrit the word Dharma translates to "universal law". In hebrew/arabic - the word "Deen" means "true judgement" but also "to lower" - meaning truth is only understood through vertical causation- when we compare things to things - atoms to atoms - dust to dust- it is only horizontal causation and cannot be used to reach truth. The pursuit of truth is to seek what is above and beyond us - relating finite to the infinite. The soul originates from the "breath" of God and animates all that is living. Every soul has direct access to the infinite within himself.
Fussilat 41:53
سَنُرِيهِمْ ءَايَٰتِنَا فِى ٱلْءَافَاقِ وَفِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ حَتَّىٰ يَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُ ٱلْحَقُّۗ أَوَلَمْ يَكْفِ بِرَبِّكَ أَنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ شَهِيدٌ
We will show them Our signs in the horizons and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth. But is it not sufficient concerning your Lord that He is, over all things, a Witness?
Qaf 50:16
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ وَنَعْلَمُ مَا تُوَسْوِسُ بِهِۦ نَفْسُهُۥۖ وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ ٱلْوَرِيدِ
And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein
Al-Hashr 59:19
وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ كَٱلَّذِينَ نَسُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ فَأَنسَىٰهُمْ أَنفُسَهُمْۚ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْفَٰسِقُونَ
And be not like those who forgot Allah, so He made them forget themselves. Those are the transgressors.
When one studies etymology- we will find that this concept and division of "religion" as we understand it todat does not actually exist...it's a recent invention - not something the ancients understood.
Dogma and blind faith are destructive and a symptom of sloth - which is spiritual/intellectual laziness.
Truth is universal and not limited to any script, language, creed or race - but universally recognised by the heart.
Paganism is the worship of form/matter/things/atoms/energy. God is infinite - beyond finite comprehension/imagination- to experience the presence of God is not something that can be put into words - but an experience that is beyond the 5 senses where any concept of self / I AM is annihilated. Any number divided by infinity reduces to 0.
I'll let that process. Get back to me once you've had a think brother.

Bahai is a new age (or old age) cult that posits this crazy view that God somehow created blatantly contradictory belief systems.

It’s not about titles and having the name Baha’i. “Bahaullah says god has his Baha’is around the world without them ever heard the name of Baha’i” my grandmother used to tell me that, and now I understand what that meant.

For the first time in my life, I met a member of the Bahai Faith today. He is a very nice man and we enjoyed chatting. He was from Iran originally & was my Uber Driver.
I knew basically nothing about Bahai but he invited me to his house since we live in the same neighborhood. This flabbergasted me since in this day and age, in America, when I wave & say hi to my neighbors, they look at me as if I've asked them to do something improper.
His name was Farhad and he was proselytizing, but in such a gentle, organic way, I had no negative vibe from him. I was very nice. Just a nice chat.
Now I'm learning a bit about Bahai, & it values what I've valued despite my own shortcomings. We all fall short from time to time.
I'm not much of a joiner, since my early 30's when I spent a few years as a Rosicrucian. But I'm tempted to go and visit. He promised me Iranian food. 🙂
Here are some lesser known facts about the Baha'i Faith:
1) Women are not allowed to serve the most Supreme Administrative Body, the Universal House of Justice. So there is no Equality of Men and Women.
2) Baha'is are working to establish a Baha'i inspired New World Order, a Baha'i Super-state, headquartered in Haifa, Israel.
3) Baha'is shun (ex-communicate) Covenant-Breakers and execrate them.
4) Baha'is persecute the so called covenant-breakers, they have desecrated the grave of Diya'u'llah who was buried next to his father Baha'u'llah.
5) Baha'is have as many as 15 splinter groups, sects.
6) Baha'is have their religious text Copyrighted and religious symbols Trademarked.
7) Baha'is teach their 'faith' everywhere except in Israel for unknown reasons!
8) Baha'is lie regarding their population, they claim their population in India to be over 1.8 Million, while the government census of 2011, reveals their figure to be 4572.
9) Baha'is selectively translate their writings for western audience and there is very heavy Baha'i censorship.
10) There is no independent Baha'i Scholarship, all Baha'i texts needs to be approved before publication.
11) Baha'is see all other religions as corrupted and dead. They believe that every religion has a life of 1000 years. There is nothing like "unity of religions" - they believe their religion is superior to all other religions.
12) Baha'is believe that Baha'u'llah is the sender of all prophets, revealer of all holy books and Lord of the Lords!
13) Babis (predecessors of Baha'is) have killed many Muslims in Iran. Baha'is have also killed a few Azalis.
14) Baha'is believe their supreme body (The UHJ) to be infallible, they call it as 'Seat of God'!
Ask some questions about the above points to Farhad, see what are his answers.

Learning about the Bahai faith when I was 12 years old changed my vision of the world and my life, I was raced in a non-conventional kind of atheist family and I could never understand the meaning of GOD until my loving yoga teacher, who was like a spiritual mum explained all this and more to me. I shared many celebrations with her Bahai family and friends over the years, I always felt so welcomed, accepted and there was never pressure to make a decision about "converting" to it. in fact, until today I'm not officially a Bahai, but in my heart I am. It makes me really happy to see that this truth keeps expanding and reaching our brothers and sisters hearts all over the world!

Born and raised Baha'i! Thank u for making this video
i grew up with bahais in Iran, the persecution They faced after 79 was horrible and its still ongoing. My closest bahai friend has now left Iran and is depressed over that.. :(
And can you please point out to the religious system that persecute them?
Completely relate, my whole dad and his family (2 sisters mum and passed away dad) fled to Australia. It's left them scarred from the horrible things the Muslims did...
They are actually prosecuted. All Baha'i activities are banned in Iran. The Babis and the Baha'is have very bad reputation in Iran due to the violent acts committed by them in the past. The Babis were responsible for at least 4 civil wars in Iran that caused a toll of 1000s of lives. Baha'i Faith is considered a political cult in Iran thus it is banned.
In Israel also Baha'is are not allowed to teach their religion to the Israelis.
Naser Emtesali Thank you for clarifying with context to both sides.

Alex GR christianity is a not a true religion bcz it believes in humans not god, Hazrat Isa (AS), AKA JESUS (AS) was the prophet of God. He was given many miracles like resurrection of the dead but only by the help of God, it is said that when he went to see god, and asked Allah if he (ISA) could see Allah. So Allah said something and then Hazrat Musa looked at the Mountains (which were looking at Allah, reflecting, Allahs light, glory) Hazrat Isa fainted

Naser Emtesali That adds to the beauty of the religion imo: The whole point of Baha’i is that religion and humanity evolves, and that all together they are the collective culture of humanity. So having architecture that evolves and is inspired by another building shows how religion evolves as more knowledge is gained.

It is a beautiful faith. I would actually say it's the perfect faith. I'm not a perfect Bahai and I have struggled with the feelings of not being good enough due to substance issues which I am overcoming. What I do strive to do is serve everyday with music and bring joy into the space where I am located and always try to elevate the conversation. I don't say all my prayers everyday and I sometimes still lose my fight with substances, but I really do try to make my actions, thoughts and deeds into a beautiful prayer each day.
They shun and excommunicate people for not submitting to their supreme administrative order that is ruled by 9 men (no women allowed at the supreme administrative institution), collectively believed to be infallible.

It's what you would have encountered, and it's brutal to say the least. There's two types of Bahai, those that are born into the faith and those that find the faith. The people that find the faith are the truly special ones that try to create huge change for the better. The other ones don't.
@@Laayon19 Yes. All of them (the Baha'i leaders and the UHJ) were/are very egoistic people. They excommunicated anyone who disagrees with them. Try to learn why Shoghi Effendi excommunicated his siblings, cousins, uncles, aunts and parents.

*This religion has s potential to unite all religions as one*
_In the Tablet of Ittihad, Bahá'u'lláh describes in some detail several features of unity. He states that unity in the first place is the unity of religion, meaning that people must follow the same religion which is His Faith in this day. He declares that when the majority of the people in a country embrace His Cause, then the government will be able to put into practice His teachings and commandments. He asserts that in past dispensations such a unity has always brought victory to the Cause of God._

All good things u hear about any religion is always tip of the iceberg is when they are minority!! The moment one religion becomes majority that's when they try to force it on others!!! Buddhists were called as the most non violent community but myanmar and sri Lanka is now ruled by crazy blood loving monks
Liju Oommen that is a legitimate concern as history has shown that to be the case. There are explicit laws in the Baha’i Faith that we are not supposed force our religion on anyone. In fact if the religion no longer be a source of unity and peace, if it causes conflict, then it better not exist at all. That’s also one of the Baha’i teachers. Given the actions and practice of many Bahá’ís I feel that this shouldn’t be the case.
@@parvizdeamer I hope once this faith becomes majority then it doesn't turn against other ppl!! Only hope.. Nothing else!! For me all religion is the same!! Ppl who can't find their moral stand relying on a imaginary story book for rules n regulations!
Liju Oommen it shouldn’t. We are told it better to be killed than to kill, and that we can’t force our beliefs on others. You raise a good point about the source it morals. But given that religion has always existed in some form is it possible that the morals that are so normal to us now, had their source in religion? Which is why you don’t need to have a religion to practice the current accepted moral standards? Because the religions of the past did what they were supposed to do and effected a change in the fundamental values of humankind? I understand most of our western morals came from Christianity?

I assume you're referring to the Shrine of the Bab halfway up the side of Mount Carmel. It's where the remains of the Bab, the forerunner of Baha'u'llah, are interred. Baha'i temples are houses of worship. You are right, though, it is amazing. As are the other buildings on Mount Carmel, and the gardens surrounding them.
I'm Muslim, but after learning about Bahai which I found out about few days ago. I feel like I can relate and this faith makes more sense to me.
It’s literally Islam. The only difference is that we believe Muhammad pbuh is the final messenger
@@saf1999 It feels like a modern version of Islam
@Yamin I don't, Islam makes more sense when I read about the Bahai how it breaks it down how spiritual and loving and peaceful Islam is. I especially love the way Rumi breaks down Islam and explains what it means alot better then Suni and Shias. That's just me. I'm liberal when it comes to believing in one God. What ever works for you and makes you become loving and understanding towards humanity in general. And respect and love your fellow human no matter what they believe in. Let's be real, not even to Sunis believe in thd same way every individuals got an opinion or some even if it is tiny bit different that works for them.
@Yamin I believe Islam is complete, I don't think this guy is a prophet just has interpreted Islam in a way I can relate to. Definitely think Mohammed pbuh is last messenger but for some reason I interpret his message in different way than alog of Muslims I know. I interpret the meaning of alot of things the prophet said znd did differently. I think the basis of it all is Love. 🤷🏻♂️

Mixing religions makes religions more confusing😕
We are not trying to mix religions. The Baha'i Faith recognizes the divine origin of all religions. They came at different times through history to progressively reveal the Word of God. The spiritual teachings of all religions agree: love, unity, brotherhood, generosity, forgiveness, truthfulness, etc. The social teachings may change according to the time and place each religion appears: for example, Jews and Muslims were prohibited from eating pork because they had no means of properly preserving it against disease, but that law makes no sense in our modern age. Most of the major disagreements between religions are due to mankind's faulty interpretation of teachings, most of which were issues that do not really matter in the ordinary lives of people. Examples include the Holy Trinity, the Seal of the Prophets, creationism, original sin, the virgin birth, the resurrection, miracles, etc., etc. However, certain people decided that they were more qualified to interpret these things, and saw it as an opportunity to seize power and control for themselves and so created clergy, which I am convinced was never intended to be a part of religion (woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in). The purposes of religion are to enable man to know his Creator, to foster unity and love among people, to uplift and develop human capacity, and to create a civilization based on spiritual principles. Everything else is just smoke and mirrors.
I've never heard of the religion, but it sounds quite fascinating and I feel I can really relate to them. I like the fact that you can still be part of your former religion and the fact that we are all equal. Also Drew, you'd have no problem fitting into this religion as most, if not all the beliefs they have, you seem to have too.

I understand Drew was probably not aware, but in the Bahá’í faith (just like Muhammad in Islam) we do not depict let alone present pictures of Baháʼu'lláh. He lived in the 19th and 20th century so there are pictures available but Bahá’í are taught not to search them up, the only way we are supposed to see our prophet is by visiting the Baha’i gardens in Haifa where a depiction of Baháʼu'lláh is present. I am 18 years old and have never seen a picture of him, I was supposed to take my pilgrimage to Haifa one day and see him the way we are taught to...this video has a full on picture of him so if you’re Bahá’í and adhere to this basic Bahá’í teaching skip the video between 1:10 and 1:30 or so.

Tell her that in Islam it says that Christians and Jews are the worst of Creation and that non Muslims go to hell
In Christianity Jesus said he was God ( John 8:58, Gods name is I AM and Jesus calls himself I AM. And also John 20:27-28 ) and in Islam it says Jesus isn’t God, you can’t believe in the both in the same time
Yahshua (Jesus) is the truth and perfection in human form. But Catholicism is a pagan twist on Christianity. The original unchanged Christianity is Orthodox Christianity that Ethiopians one of the first Christians practice along to this day as well as Greeks and many in Arab countries that managed to keep their fate. The Catholics even removed the Book of Enoch, which whom is even spoken about in the New Testament of Luke 3:37

Lol, it is copy paste of islam, just check islam and its practices.
This man just copy pasted it and wrote his name and that’s it.
The poor Sultan it’s more than Islam, it’s everything.
@@aaronm8143 he is deceiving you.
This man Baha whatever.
The poor Sultan is baha muladulagobul.
I used to live not too far from the Bahai Temple in Wilmette, Illinois. I know so many Bahais lovely people
I want to be Muslim, what about my property after that?

Wow, this is the morning prayer which my school used to make us say. I said it for almost 10 years and I never knew that it was of Bhai faith
So you have attended a Baha'i inspired school. There are a couple of Baha'i schools in India. Are you from New Era?
Does it mean you are baha'I
Michael Doubell no, you can’t accidentally be a Baha’i. You have to consciously make that choice. You can’t even be forced by your parents, they have to let you choose your own beliefs after the age of 15

Drew make a Video about your experience in the middle east
Yes, especially more about Īrān. It’s such an amazing country
Yes he will because he's paid by Muslims
Tech Saransh wait what
Baha'i Faith is the solution to the world's problems
I just heard about this religion from one of the youtubers from my country and then your video appeared in my timeline.
When they talked about uniting and oneness... it made my day :D
me too! 💖☮🌺🌷
Waiting for qiyamat
@@rayuzy what?
Yo i can teach about bahai if u want and explain it to u :)
@@яиви-м1н "And now, one of the greatest and most fundamental principles of the Cause of God is to shun and avoid entirely the Covenant-breakers, for they will utterly destroy the Cause of God, exterminate His Law and render of no account all efforts exerted in the past."

I have never heard of this faith. Thank you for educating us. Learning about different cultures and how people think educates all to better understand all.

As a humanist, i can respect a faith that doesn't discriminate anyone based on race, color, other religions but teach them to be a better human beyond borders n cultures n norms. Humanity First!
I remember somehow coming across the Bahai Faith in like 2013-14 in High School and I was so intrigued but there was something about it that turned me off at the time, I can't remember what it was. It really does sound ideal. I was raised a Chirstian, I chose a Hindu and Pagan path later on, I also practice Buddhist and Mormon beliefs and so the Bahai faith is really relevant in terms of having these beliefs without rejecting another. I will look into it again.
My main advice is make sure you do your research to make sure it's right for you! ✌ Thanks Drew for sharing this!!!
*Some lesser-known facts about the Baha'i Faith:*
1) Women are not allowed to serve the most Supreme Administrative Body, the Universal House of Justice. So there is no Equality of Men and Women.
2) Baha'is are working to establish a Baha'i inspired New World Order, a Baha'i Super-state, headquartered in Haifa, Israel.
3) Baha'is shun (ex-communicate) Covenant-Breakers and execrate them.
4) Baha'is persecute the so-called covenant-breakers, they have desecrated the grave of Diya'u'llah who was buried next to his father Baha'u'llah.
5) Baha'is have as many as 15 splinter groups, sects.
6) Baha'is have their religious text Copyrighted and religious symbols Trademarked.
7) Baha'is teach their 'faith' everywhere except in Israel for unknown reasons!
8) Baha'is lie regarding their population, they claim their population in India to be over 1.8 Million, while the government census of 2011, reveals their figure to be 4572.
9) Baha'is selectively translate their writings for western audience and there is very heavy Baha'i censorship.
10) There is no independent Baha'i Scholarship, all Baha'i texts need to be approved before publication.
11) Baha'is see all other religions as corrupted and dead. They believe that every religion has a life of 1000 years. There is nothing like "unity of religions" - they believe their religion is superior to all other religions.
12) Baha'is believe that Baha'u'llah is the sender of all prophets, the revealer of all holy books and Lord of the Lords!
13) Babis (predecessors of Baha'is) have killed many Muslims in Iran. Baha'is have also killed a few Azalis.
14) Baha'is believe their supreme body (The UHJ) to be infallible, they call it as 'Seat of God'!
15) Baha'i guardian Shoghi Effendi was a closeted Homosexual, he used to spend months in Switzerland with Baha'i money.
Buddhist and Mormon at the same time? That's is the most bizarre thing I ever heard.
@@NaserEmtesali Ah, that explains it. thank you! 🙏
@@johnniebee4328 Lol why can't a Mormon practice Yoga and Meditation? 😂 Trust me, it was surprising to me as well Mormons are actually open to that.
If they weren't, I wouldn't be apart of it forreals
@@Himeko-wv7fu The Eightfold Path has something about right views / truth being important.
Thank you for this video and speaking up about Bahá’ís
Drew your like an ambassador of the world you really do open the eyes of many and change there perceptions tha k you
I am a Bahà'i in my heart, but still on the first steps...
Holy crap Drew and Rainn Wilson in a video?!
Really educational and inspiring 😍
Wow, you are so open minded. Thank you for your interview.
Oh my God, Thank you so much Drew for your kind words. I'm a Baha'i of Kenya.
I was introduced to the Baha'i Faith in 1999 at the age of 13 and older in life I became an official member. I don't prcatice religion anymore but the Baha'i people are some of the most genuine and amazing people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing and I still have many friends who are in the faith. I'm not into religion anymore but the Baha'i Faith is so peaceful and positive with great teachings . Salute to my Baha'i people worldwide!!
That's interesting! Why you left this "religion" if it was so good?
Jarrell, Come back! We miss you! Love, A fellow Bahai
I am a Bahai and I love that you've made this video!! Also, just a point - the photo of Baha'u'llah shouldnt be included as it is extremely sacred and can only be seen when Bahais go on pilgrimage. Thank you for making this video though
How do Bahais go on Pilgrimage???
Where do you go for pilgrimage??
