thank you so much, onyx! that cleared things up for me
All gods in history have been interpretations of one God. All prophets in recorded history have been sent by the one God to help the human race come closer to God. This includes Hindu beliefs, the Buddha, Abraham, Moses, Zoroaster, Jesus, Muhammad, Martin Luther, and Joseph Smith, and a bunch I can't recall right now.
Baha'is believe that all religions are the truth, and that god contacted many different Messengers to disseminate this truth, including Adam, Noah, Krishna, Moses, Abraham, Zoroaster, Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad, the Bab, and Baha'u'llah himself. They are conservative like other Abrahamic religions: Sexual intercourse is only meant for marriage. They believe that the world should be united under one true religion, one government, one language, and that everyone should have equal rights.
Bah???s believe that God has revealed himself to man by means of ?Divine Manifestations,? including Abraham, Moses, Krishna, Zoroaster, the Buddha, Jesus, Mu?ammad, the B?b, and Bah?? Ull?h. They believe that these messengers were provided to guide mankind through an evolutionary process in which the appearance of the B?b initiated a new age for mankind. The Bah???s say that to date his message is the fullest revelation of God?s will and that it is the primary God-given instrument that will make world unity possible.?1?Timothy 2:5,?6.
One of the basic precepts of Bah??? is ?that all the great religions of the world are divine in origin, that their basic principles are in complete harmony.? They ?differ only in the nonessential aspects of their doctrines.??2?Corinthians 6:14-18; 1?John 5:19,?20.
Bah??? beliefs include the oneness of God, the soul?s immortality, and the evolution (biological, spiritual, and social) of mankind. On the other hand, they reject the common concept of angels. They also reject the Trinity, the reincarnation teaching of Hinduism, and man?s fall from perfection and subsequent ransom through the blood of Jesus Christ.?Romans 5:12; Matthew 20:28.
The brotherhood of man and the equality of women are major features of Bah??? belief. Bah???s practice monogamy. At least once a day, they pray any one of three prayers revealed by Bah?? Ull?h. They practice fasting from sunup to sundown during the 19 days of the Bah??? month of ?Al?, which falls in March. (The Bah??? calendar consists of 19 months, each having 19 days, with certain intercalary days.)
The Bah??? faith does not have many set rituals, nor does it have clergy. Any who profess faith in Bah?? Ull?h and accept his teachings may be enrolled as members. They meet for worship on the first day of every Bah??? month.
The Bah???s see themselves as having the mission of the spiritual conquest of the planet. They try to spread their faith through conversation, example, participation in community projects, and information campaigns. They believe in absolute obedience to the laws of the country in which they reside, and though they vote, they abstain from participation in politics. They prefer noncombatant duty in the armed forces when possible but are not conscientious objectors
The Baha'i faith seeks to interpret all religions as leading to God. However, there is a major flaw in the theology and thinking in Bahia-ism and that is this: it is impossible to reconcile all religions to one another as they are contradictory. For example -- in Hinduism, there are believed to be some 400 million gods. Biblical Christianity declares that there is One God, revealed in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, Jesus Christ, stated that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life and that no one may come to God but through Him (John 14:6). Both Hinduism and Christianity cannot both be true. Yet the Bahai religion incorporates both in its theology. This is only a small example of the illogical inconsistency inherent in Bahai theology. Biblical Christianity contradicts every other religion, with some exception made regarding Judaism. As a born-again believer, I have put my faith in Jesus Christ as the Messiah promised by God, who first made Himself known to the Jews and then to the Gentiles.
I am a Baha'i; Onyx's answer is certainly very comprehensive and basically objective in its presentation, so I won't repeat what he provided.
I'm having trouble understanding your specific questions and I suspect it is because of a language barrier, and for that I apologize. To specifically address your question of sex, however, Baha'is believe that sexual activity is reserved for a married couple. Premarital and extramarital sex are prohibited.
explain the Baha'i religion?
