💔💝Blessed is the house that hath attained unto My tender mercy, wherein My remembrance is celebrated, and which is ennobled by the presence of My loved ones, who have proclaimed My praise, cleaved fast to the cord of My grace and been honoured by chanting My verses. Verily they are the exalted servants whom God hath extolled in the Qayyúmu'l-Asmá' and other scriptures. Verily He is the All-Hearing, the Answerer, He Who perceiveth all things. (Bahá'u'lláh, from a Tablet-translated from the Arabic)
Thank you for this program -very inspiring .it would be good if you could large print the teachings of Bahai faith and have them on to promote the Bahai principle teachings and hopefully Farsi subtitle. Thanks so much.
Jesus said I am the Truth the life and the way. No one goes to the father except through me. Jesus is the only savior that took everyone's punishment up on himself on the cross ✝️ you just have to call up on his name and he will reveal the truth to you.❤️
Why, it seems, are Baha'is obsessed with "racially diverse"? Is it something they *actually* obsess over or is it more something emphasized in proselytizing, hoping to impress people? My upbringing and current day to day is certainly as, and quite possibly much more "racially diverse" that these Baha'i. I haven't needed religion for that. So what's the Baha'i theory of a connection between adopting a religion and engineering for oneself (?) a more racially diverse life experience?
we don't proselytize people! people are free to read and think and accept or reject for themselves. Race unity is a pressing need that's why you hear about it a lot.
We don't necessarily obsess over racial diversity. We believe in the unity of all cultures and races because we all come from the same source (God). Bahai's strive towards eliminating all racial prejudice. This is why many Bahai's have mixed-race families. It's not necessarily done on purpose, but because one of our core beliefs is racial unity, it's easier to see through racial barriers and to marry outside our cultures. The Bahai faith is one of the most racially diverse religions out there. Additionally, we like to connect with Bahai's all over the world. These factors contribute to the many mixed-raced families and marriages among the Bahai's. There's no "Bahai theory", the Bahai faith is a religion with beliefs that spiritually advance humanity. Some people already live their lives according to those beliefs without being a Bahai. We don't do proselytizing or attempt to convert, we spread information to help and lift people up. And if our beliefs resonate with someone, they can choose to declare themselves a Bahai. "A Baha’i is someone who loves and serves all humanity." I hope this helps. 😊
@@noaccarmel Thanks, but that brings me back to where I started. Most normal people want to live without racial prejudice. They don't need a religion to do that. Your inscribing it into religion seems to imply that you believe people have a problem doing that without religion and/or that (most) other religions promote racial division. And yet the two largest religions, Christianity and Islam, have no lack of racial and cultural diversity. It send a very confusing message to forefront this as a platform. WHO *doesn't* love all humanity, as a religious body? It's a very odd implication. It's like if Coke put out ads that said "Drink Coke: We never put spiders in our cola, and that's the Coke Promise!" Everyone would start thinking that some other brand of cola, like Pepsi, is alleged to put spiders in their cola! Or it's like how Sikhs, for example, state proudly that "People of all faiths are welcome to enter our temples." Umm... so which religion do they think *doesn't* allow that? I never heard of a non-Christian wanting to enter a church and people said "Noooooo! You can't come in!" Well, there would be some restrictions in mosques, perhaps, that only wanted to let Muslims participate. So, we can surmise that Sikhs grew up geographically alongside Islam historically, and they are specifically contrasting their gurdwaras to mosques. Same as how Sikhs say they can't smoke tobacco, and they have to slaughter meat a certain way, etc.-these things contrasted Sikhs socially from Muslims in the same geographic space, who used tobacco a lot and slaughtered meat by Halal. Have you considered that Baha'i faith may have gotten these emphases from emerging next to a certain brand of Islam and reacting to it? But that in a global - modern context, it doesn't make much sense to have this platform. We are not in 19th century Iran with only a choice between Shia Islam and Baha'i.
@hultonclint : the Baha'i Faith is either guidance from God or it is not. Perhaps God feels the elimination of prejudice and discrimination is so vital that He sent a new Revelation to show us how.
Can you, successfully, merge two different cultures without one of them having to cede to the other? I mean, marriage is hard when you have similarities. Why complicate matters? Either the Asian culture dominates or the White culture does. Or, I guess, you create a brand new culture.
Great presentation!

Why does everyone deserve to be punished?
We believe in Jesus!
We believe, that Jesus has already returned
