AMIT-ABHA
A guest has requested a discussion about Amit-Abha. Baha’is understand that Amit Abha is Baha’u'llah, as he wore the red robe, and as He is the 5th Manifestation of God after Gautama (Sanskrit; Pali: Gotama), Siddhartha (Sanskrit; Pali: Siddhattha). “Amit” means “Infinite” and “Abha” means “Light” or “Glory.” Baha’u'llah’s Revelation comes directly from God (the Infinite Absolute One), as it did for Jesus and Moses and Mohammed and Zoroaster and Krishna and Buddha and Adam and the Bab.

We just celebrated the 12th day of Ridvan. These 12 days are in celebration of the the 12 days Baha’u'llah spent in the Garden of Roses in Baghdad culminating in His proclamation in 1863. We had a great feast, lots of Baha’is showed up, including the Guardian, Neal Chase. There were excellent readings and prayers and a sweet presentation. The food, both spiritual and physical, were delicious.

Here is a link to the Proclamation of Baha’u'llah.

A guest has requested that we post the Arabic section of the Hidden Words of Baha’u'llah.

I have added a category for Baha’i Faith writings. There are two works added to start with. They are Baha’u'llah’s Kitab-i-Ahd, and the Will and Testament of Abdu’l-Baha. Together, these two documents comprise the Covenant of the Baha’i Faith. You can navigate to the Baha’i Writings page from the link to your left or click on this link to access the Baha’i Faith writings new hub page.

If you would like to suggest other writings, send me an email and I’ll try to get them in the list and uploaded.

Allah’u'Abha,

Webmaster

The following prayer for healing was revealed by Baha’u'llah, the prophet and founder of the Baha’i Faith:

Thy name is my healing, O my God, and remembrance of Thee is my remedy. (more…)

I was talking with a Christian today and she said she was celebrating Easter with her family. I asked if she was going on an Easter egg hunt. She said yes and asked If I was also?

I said I hadn’t since I was a child.

I mean why celebrate 5000 year old holiday with eggs and rabbits, which are both symbols of fertility worship and all on a day that is named after Ishtar, the pagan goddess of fertility?

I bid her a good day and pulled out my Bible to read about the resurrection. (more…)

Today is Naw Ruz, which is the Persian word for “New Year.” At sunset Baha’is will congregate to break their 19 day fast with a feast in celebration of the Baha’i New Year which commences on the vernal equinox on or near March 21st. Here is the Naw Ruz Prayer revealed by Baha’u'llah to be read at sunset: (more…)

In the firesides we learn that Angels, Cherubs, and Seraphs are spiritual stations we can attain while in this life, and not divine beings from heaven wandering among us as is commonly perceived. One time at a forum Dr. Jensen elaborated upon this when the subject came up regarding Isaiah’s reference to Seraphim.

Isaiah 6:1–3 : “… I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and His train filled the Hekhal (sanctuary). Above Him stood the Seraphim; each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.”

The notion that the wings covered the face and feet of the Seraph was puzzling this person, and they couldn’t comprehend Isaiah’s description. Doc then went on to explain that the six wings (or 3 sets) of the Seraph covering their features were symbolic of their level of knowledge and evolution within the Cause of God as harbingers of the Message. The first set covers the Seraph’s face (or eyes) meaning that he can see and understand the Revelations of God. The next covered his feet meaning that the Seraph was also capable of carrying the Message of Revelation to others. And of the 3rd set Isaiah says “and with two he flew” meaning that the Seraph’s 3rd set gave him the added ability to not just carry the Message of Revelation to others, but that he might bring it far and wide to every corner of the Earth.

Doc elaborated further saying that we know the Seraphs are the highest of the three stations of Angels that one might achieve in his lifetime on Earth, so that its fair to say that Cherubs in turn have but two sets of wings, and Angel would have one set. He concluded that the Cherubs among us had a set of wings covering their face (eyes) which meant they could see the Truth, and another< covering their feet, meaning they were capable of Teaching it as well. That would logically conclude that Angels then are those among the living that have a set of wings covering their Spiritual Eyes, or in other words they are those among us that have been granted the Blessed Gift of being able to comprehend, recognize, and understand the Revelations and Truths of our Best Beloved.

He concluded adding “So it’s really a pleasure to be sharing this evening with all you Angels, Cherubs, and Seraphs”.

First of all, since I am loyal to Jesus, I believe in the messengers that Jesus said would come. These include Muhammad and Baha’u'llah. It was Baha’u'llah who explained that there will be no conflict between true science and true religion. This makes me happy for several reasons–it will eliminate bad science and bad religion.
Bad religion includes some nut who has his followers drink poison when a comet flies overhead.
Bad science includes Darwin’s theory of evolution.

I am a high school science teacher, and I know about evolution. I know that it lacks scientific evidence, and I know there is scientific evidence against it. I refuse to teach evolution since it is wrong. There is politics and power mongering that corrupts science as well as religion. I think science comes from God as much as religion. When pressed, I would have to admit that parts of evolution are correct, but just because I can agree that the fittest of the species survive does not mean I can be fooled into the ludicrous possibility that one species can change into another. Likewise I can believe that the mother of Jesus was a virgin, but the rules of God’s creation mandate a need for sperm to have fertilized Mary’s egg. The bible tells us that this sperm came from the male line of King David-e.g. Joseph. (Would Joseph have married her were it not so?)
(See Romans 1:3)
The mistake in religion is to use the virgin birth as evidence that God is the father of Jesus which is blasphemous.

After the big war that is prophesied to come, there will be peace on earth. As prophecy is always fulfilled, as God never lies, this will come to pass despite the objections of any one. Though I do not look forward to the war, I look forward to the peace afterward and the knowledge that science and religion will not be in conflict. God gave me the gift of a brain, so can I not assume that I am to use it? I have faith in the Baha’i religion because it does not conflict with Jesus or Moses, or of Abraham, Isaac, King David, etc. In fact, there is only one religion that doesn’t disregard the promise that God gave to David in Psalm 89.
God doesn’t break His promises.

As Bush has been in Israel for the past two days for the first time in his entire two terms as president, what could be the ulterior motive for such a visit with the prospects for a U.S. strike on Iran?

President Bush visits Israel this last week in the guise of discussing peace, when in reality he went to discuss military plans with Israeli leaders for a strike against Iran. Today it is reported:

“Israel won’t accept nuke weapons in Iran”

By LAURIE COPANS, Associated Press Writer Jan. 14, 2008

JERUSALEM - Prime Minister Ehud Olmert told a powerful parliamentary panel on Monday that Israel rejects “no options” to block Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, a meeting participant said.

“Israel clearly will not reconcile itself to a nuclear Iran,” the meeting participant quoted Olmert as telling the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee. “All options that prevent Iran from gaining nuclear capabilities are legitimate within the context of how to grapple with this matter.”

This statement comes directly after Bush’s visit to Israel making the connection that Bush is planning with Israel for this upcoming strike. For Israel to strike Iran instead of the U.S., this would be able to be better justified in the eyes of the world as Israel defending itself and its territories instead of the U.S. taking unilateral action.

This upcoming attack will be another brick out of the wall of oppression built by the religious corrupters and detractors as this is the land from out which came the second coming of Christ, Baha’u'llah, and it is those who have corrupted His solutions to the world’s ills who will now have to taste what their Hands have wrought in these days.

Thanks Colin for finding this press item from Time, in 1957, about the controversy of the Hands and the succession issue. The article follows and is followed by a link to the Time news archives.

The Resultant Affect upon the Harmony of the Three Abrahamic Faiths

by Nefratiri Weeks
October 26, 2007
Scholars and historians agree that the blending of Greek culture with Christianity eventually resulted in our modern understanding of Christianity as a religion; textbooks paint the picture of its great Hebrew Roots being planted in Greek Soil, creating the tree we see today in every American City and across the world. However, some scholars assert that while Greek rational thought had a positive influence on Christianity, Greek religious practices at that time had no influence. I will demonstrate that, to the contrary, many Greek religious practices are alive and well in the Christian Church and discuss the deeper implications of this fact on the global situation of religious division.In his Summa Theologica, Thomas Aquinas, one of the great reasoning minds of the late Middle Ages, set forth the argument that the subject matter of religious doctrine, belief and faith was to be rightly considered a science. He set this science higher than the science of empirical thought with subject matter including mathematics and the like. Aquinas opened the door of religious speculation that had been closed by the Church for more than a thousand years. In his treatise concerning religious belief he concludes:

“As other sciences do not argue in proof of their principles, but argue from their principles to demonstrate other truths in these sciences: so this doctrine does not argue in proof of its principles, which are the articles of faith, but from them it goes on to prove something else…” (Aquinas).

In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Bountiful.

To His Excellency Mr. Bashar al-Assad, President of Syria,

Dear Mr Assad,

I am writing to share some information with you concerning our Faith and about the covenant of Baha’u’llah which is essential for establishing peace in the world. I hope you will find this information useful and inspiring.

We are different from the Baha’i World Faith, whose headquarters are based in Haifa, Israel. The headquarters of the BUPC is in the Rocky Mountains of the USA. The Universal House of Justice in Haifa does not have a guardian, whereas we have a guardian descended from Baha’u’llah who lives in exile in America at this time. We also have the real Universal House of Justice located in the Rocky Mountains of the USA.

The line of authority, as the presidency of the House of Justice, follows in the progeny of Baha’u’llah, known as the Aghsan. Baha’u’llah was descended from King David through the exilarchs Bostanai and Isaac Iskoi, who embraced Islam at the hands of Imam Ali Rida. So this line of the Aghsan, which is the line of King David, distinguishes the true Institution of the Baha’i Faith from fakes frauds and imitations. It is the sign of God, a point of unity for the world and the hereditary principle (more…)
