This show does a weekly special on what a particular faith.
This one is about Baha'i
I found it useful
It is funny because it is suppose to turn you away from the Baha'i faith but for me only confirmed my convictions that the Baha'i faith is the faith for this time.
Baha'i and Christianity Comparison2 | ||
| Baha'i View | Christian View | |
| Scripture | Writings of Bha'u'llah | Bible alone |
| God | Unknowable | Knowable and personal |
| Jesus | Manifestation of God | Absolute deity |
| Jesus' death | No salvific value | Atoned for sins of man |
| Second Coming | Baha'u'llah | Jesus Himself |
| Spirit of Truth (John 14:16) | Baha'u'llah | The Holy Spirit |
| World religions | Truth in all | Only Christianity true |
| Sin | Man imperfect, not fallen | Man fallen in sin |
| Salvation | Keep Baha'i law | Trust in Christ alone |
I come from a liberal Christian background, as I got older I started to question. I have studied most world religions, I had become so frustrated that I was really considering starting my own!
I then came across the Baha'i faith just searching on Google. I started to read what the beliefs and practices were, and realized I didn't need to start my own religion everything I believed was in the Baha'i faith!
So I began reading the holy texts looking as a skeptic , I found such peace in the prayers and texts. After a year of studying I finally contacted the Pittsburgh association of Baha'i's. That lead to me receiving a packet with the declaration card. On the Monday I will meet my first Baha'i's . I am very excited, I will be updating my progress on this blog.
