Do Baha'is believe that Jesus is God?

Baha'i belief is in accordance with the Bible that in His Essence God is unknowable. The Holy Bble tells us that "God is dwelling in the unapproachable light where no man has ever seen or even can see him". (Timothy 6:6)  When Jesus was asked "Where is the Father?" He replied "And the Father himself, which has sent me, hath born witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape (John 5;37)

 

Do Baha'is believe in Trinity?

Baha'i belief in the spiritual reality of the Trinity is not a blind belief but based on reason. The Trinity is explained in the Baha'i Faith using the example of the sun and a mirror which perfectly reflects the sun. In this allegory, the sun represents God, Christ the mirror-image and the Holy Spirit are the rays of the sun. From one point of view they are different from another, they are one. This is the true spiritual meaning of the Trinity, a church dogma which was formulated in 325 AD in the Council of Nicea.

Do Baha'is believe in the Bible?

 Baha'is take the Holy Bible very seriously.  The Baha'i Writings tell us: "This book is the Holy Book of God, of celestial Inspiration. It is the Bible of Salvation, the Noble Gospel.  It is the mystery of the Kingdom and its light."

 

Do Baha'is believe in heaven and Hell?

Heaven and hell are not to be considered as a place but a state or condition of our soul.  When we are following God's Will then we are in a state of spiritual happiness, which feels heavenly.  Being remote from God's Will and His Purpose for us is like being spiritually in Hell.  The Baha'i Writings share many insights into spiritual realities such as life after death. (extracted from Christianity Renewed Volume 2) 

 

PURPOSE OF THE WEBSITE : CHRISTIANITY RENEWED  


Many people ask the question: Can Christianity be renewed or will  Christianity be slowly abandoned ... ?

It is true that many people have now rejected Christianity because of church dogmas which encourage the "scourge"  of exclusiveness", saying that you are saved if you are Christian and everybody else is going to "hell" .  

 

These prejudices arise from man-made interpretations which have obscured the light of the Divine Christ, the Son of God

The Baha'i teachings are all-inclusive inviting everyone to carry out their own investigation of truth. In doing so the seeker must free him/herself  from preconceived opinions and man-made ideas. 

 

Jesus Christ said: "Love thy neighbour as yourself". (Matthew 22:33-40)

In this day it is not enough to be a passive moralist hoping for personal salvation but to bend our energies to loving and serving mankind. 

 

Baha'is walk a spiritual path with practical feet.


Bahá’ís believe social change starts with spirituality—individuals unlocking their soul’s desire for service and working alongside others for the good of their neighborhoods and communities.

Because Bahá'u'lláh said:"I confess that Thou hast no desire except the regeneration of the whole world, and the establishment of the unity of its peoples, and the salvation of all them that dwell therein"

It is a renewal of the spirit of the message of Christ, only the time is different.

Bahá'u'lláh explained that spiritual teachings, like the cycles of everything else in creation, need to be transformed and renewed. Otherwise, corruption and disunity disintegrate our civilization.

Bahá'u'lláh went so far as to say:

"Religion must be the cause of fellowship and love. If it become the cause of estrangement, then it is not needed, for religion is like a remedy: if it aggravate the disease, then it becometh unnecessary."


Baha'is believe that WORLD PEACE and the renewal of civilization is only possible if there is UNITY amongst the religions, and to have this DIALOGUE is essential.

This investigation of truth will remove prejudice and help to promote a respect and deeper UNDERSTANDING of the purpose and intention of other religions.

It is the purpose of this website to contribute to this dialogue... The website explains the LINK between Christianity and the Baha'i Faith.

"The Great Peace...for which from age to age the sacred scriptures of mankind have constantly held the promise, is now at long last within the reach of the nations....World peace is not only possible but INEVITABLE. It is the next stage in the evolution of this planet..." (Universal House of Justice)
