When I analyze someone’s faith, I look for three things:

- What is it’s attitude toward the source of our knowledge? (For Christians, it would be the Bible, as God’s revelation.)

- What does it say about sin?

- What does it say about Jesus?

Bahai-ism seeks to see itself as the apex of all religious development, which includes the “great prophets” such as Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed. As a Christian, I would say that one cannot put Jesus among others; He is unique. He does not claim to be just a prophet, but the Son of God. He not only taught good things, He died for the sins of the whole world.

The Baha’i faith (as seen below) appreciates excellent moral traits. I would have no quarrel with them. The big issue is that life is more than being good and kind, as important as these characteristics are. We are all affected by a moral disease called sin, which leads to separation from God. We need both forgiveness and transformation by God’s Spirit. This is the Christian Gospel that Jesus taught.

Here’s a start.

Welcome to the Baha'i Faith

Baha'is view the world’s major religions as part of a single, progressive process through which God reveals His will to humanity. Baha'u'llah (1817-1892), Founder of the Baha'i Faith, is the most recent in a line of divine messengers that includes Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Zoroaster, Christ and Muhammad.

Baha'u'llah taught that there is only one God and one human family, and that humanity is reaching its long-awaited stage of maturity, when a peaceful and just world order finally can be realized.

We invite everyone, regardless of race, religion or ethnicity, to study, worship and work with us to realize Baha'u'llah's vision.
