Default If The Bah?'? Faith is really a monotheistic religion, why is Buddha accepted as a me

Buddha rejected the concept of God, but yet he is considered a messenger in The Bah?'? Faith. This seems to totally contradict the fundamental dogma of Bah?'? Faith, that being a monotheistic religion! Someone please explain?!?!

Well, it makes as much sense as believing that some guy who got stapled to a couple of lumps of wood is God.

If you start looking for any sort of sense in any religion you will go insane.

I am not the first Buddha i am not the last Buddha i come in every age to renew religion

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifestation_of_God

These sanctified Mirrors, these Day Springs of ancient glory, are, one and all, the Exponents on earth of Him Who is the central Orb of the universe, its Essence and ultimate Purpose. From Him proceed their knowledge and power; from Him is derived their sovereignty.... By the revelation of these Gems of Divine virtue all the names and attributes of God, such as knowledge and power, sovereignty and dominion, mercy and wisdom, glory, bounty, and grace, are made manifest.
These attributes of God are not, and have never been, vouchsafed specially unto certain Prophets, and withheld from others.... That a certain attribute of God hath not been outwardly manifested by these Essences of Detachment doth in no wise imply that they who are the Day Springs of God's attributes and the Treasuries of His holy names did not actually possess it.3

The Buddha didn't reject the concept of god, in the sense that he's omnipotent, which the Buddha found illogical. What the Baha'i believe is way different from what we believe logically.

For some good reading: "Debate In Tibetan Buddhism" by Daniel E. Perdue and best of all: "The Quantum and the Lotus" by Matthieu Ricard & Trinh Xuan Thuan.
