🏯 Curious Christian Attends the Bahá'í House of Worship

[@jamesdedeckere6403]

Thank you for sharing your journey. And thank you for a pretty balanced view of your experience with the Baha’i Faith. I have been a Baha’i for about 35 years and I could not believe in the Baha’i Faith if it did not accept and revere Christ. I would encourage you to look further into the Faith. But if that is not for you, then please continue with your love for Christ and His Message.

I have enjoyed listening to your journey. My father was a Pentecostal pastor and was converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He was a true pioneer. He gave up everything. Keep up the great work.

As a Baha'i from a Christian background, I actually discovered, understood, and fell in love with Jesus Christ through the Baha'i Faith. As you briefly mentioned, there are other religions that talked about progressive revelation, and that makes perfect sense. A little deeper dive into the Baha'i Faith teachings would lead anyone to understand why. You were also wondering about how the different scriptures would fit each other when it comes to this concept. Well, the truth is that they actually fit perfectly and, for me at least, it was an absolutely fascinating journey discovering this connection. Baha'u'llah's coming is announced in the Bible - by name, location, time, and characteristics. I am mentioning the Bible because you are a Christian, however, the Koran and other scriptures contain similar prophecies. God has a covenant with us, His creation, that He will never leave us without guidance. After Baha'u'llah, in a thousand year or so, there will be another prophet, providing us with God's teachings for those days. I wish you all the best in your spiritual journey.

So cool you visited the Baha'i Temple! I have watched most of your videos so far and didnt know you did this one. I am a Latter Day Saint, and I also have a great love for the Baha'is. I have many friends of this faith.

[@sachamo100]

I had a good friend in college who was a member of the Baha’i faith. Nice guy.

[@Utah_Man_Sir]

when I lived in Skokie I would often visit the Bahai temple. There is an very peaceful vibe there .

[@latterdaycovenantliving]

I’ve never heard of this Faith before thank you for sharing

7:34 "an atheist church - which no one was at" I audibly laughed

[@krisspinden]

Thank you for your post. It is clear you spent some time considering the aspects of the Baha'i faith and you have come to some sincere conclusions. One of the questions that comes to mind, as I listened to your honest response to your brief investigation of the Baha'i faith, is would you have recognized Jesus when he was present on the earth? If you were a devout Jew would you have too many internal biases to have been able to see who Jesus was? If Baha'u'llah is who he says he is then Jesus Christ would want you to become a follower of Baha'u'llah because Jesus said he would return with a "new name". Just as Christ said, "If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.". Since it is difficult to hear tone in a comment post, I want to say that I am not at all finger wagging or anything like that. This is just a question to ponder.

Many Hindu's, esp. the Ramakrishna Mission also teach the oneness of all religions, as do some Buddhists, or at least they teach that they are all valid paths

[@steffensaff]

i laughed so hard. thank you for "attempting" humor. 😆🤣

In the sweet Baha’i and Baha’i.

[@rconger24]

Feel perfectly free to correct me if I'm wrong. But, a story about the Baha'i having a place of honor for Joseph Smith in their world view? That his purpose was/is to _unite all of the Christian peoples_ ?

[@monus782]

We’ve had a group of Baha’i in our UU community before and I’ve heard that they’re the second largest faith in South Carolina of all places, from what I’ve been told they hold the words of their founder as infallible like the pope when I was Catholic so that wasn’t attractive but I’m still curious to visit one of their temples.

[@paulblack1799]

Interesting to me that all of these leaders proclaim themselves as the last and greatest prophet, whether Muhammad or B'holalah. God says this far and no further.😮

[@jbw53191]

Yes, Baha'is believe that there will be another messenger in approximately 1,000 years

[@kmm291]

No cameras in the Mormon temples either, in their so-called sanctuary too,to use your words. Ba ga va Gita by the way. You can find the presence of God in silence. You must really look into your new religion. There is a huge history that’s pretty bizarre in itself in Mormonism.

[@DarrenBush]

Thanks for opening with "Bears....Beets..."

[@bearnurse1]

What was the name of the "wishy washy atheist church "?

[@52churchesin52weeks]

It was the North Texas Church of Freethought. They were scheduled to have a freethought salon at a hotel restaurant, but didn't see anything or anyone to indicate a gathering. Oddly, that Sunday morning instead led me to the worst church experience (featured in another video).

[@roypahlck6800]

That's going to be hard "that's what she said"

[@lorettagarcia212]

I thought you did a good job expressing your understanding of the Baha'i Faith. It does write that there will be another prophet in no less than a thousand years. As an example of progressive revelation, I like how the Zoroastrian magi used their holy writings and guidance and recognized Jesus of Nazareth as The Christ before He even proclaimed His station. Was not the God of Jesus the same One God of Abraham and Moses and Zoroaster?

[@isaheart1635]

you sound to be a seeker.

Bahais and Muslims say that the trinity doctrine is blasphemous
