The dangers of Progressive Christianity.

[JohnDB]

It's not universalism.

Oh?
Start a thread...
I'm going on partial information then.
They got some pretty buildings and beautiful gardens in Haifa Israel.

But I thought that they promoted universalism...

What do you believe is not right with the Baha'i faith?
I can't think of anything....

Bahai faith is just prayer is prayer to God or an idol or Allah or the essence of existence or satan, it is all the same. This idea only works if you do not know anything about different belief systems and think there is value in encouraging people to pray or have some religious feelings in their life.

Taken to its logical conclusion ISIS murdering people is the same as mother Teresa help for the dying. But in reality it is just a way to say their religious views conflict with no other group, which also is absurd. If Jesus declares "I am the way, the truth and the life, No one comes to the Father except through me."

If you say there are other ways to the Father than through Jesus, then you are not agreeing with Jesus. Equally if muslims say christians have corrupted Gods revelation and sharia law is the only valid expression of life and religious contributions, any other approach is in opposition to this proposition.

So in summary Bahai faith is simply propoganda to open the door to their version of faith. Interestingly though a spin off of Islam in Iran, there is no definition of judgement or communion with God or what is good and evil. Probably they have a universalist view, that everyone will finally become one with God.

Will watch on the TV...too long.
There must be other stuff too.
I think Progressive Christianity might be also
called the Emergent Church?
Do you know?

I know two of them (have known I mean).
It could be that it's all a conspiracy and they don't mean what they say...
but what they explained to me sounded right.

I do believe there are other ways to God, but I'll have a thread on that...I'm tired of explaining it all the time. I mean, we sure do have God in a tiny little box.

Maybe I'll google the Baha'i faith...but I hate learning matters of faith from google.
Could you imagine trying to learn Christianity from google !!

How do YOU know about it?

Anything with Rock is more gooder!

Actually my son was part of a class in High School...he brought home literature from there. They pray to the Ohmn....(power that holds the universe together)

He, because of his lessons at home, knew a lot about what was going on in the Jewish temple....that and his curly hair made everyone decide to declare him Jewish...and his quirky sense of humor went along with that as a joke.

Threads help me to learn.
I don't THINK they believe in universalism.

The Ohmn....

Let's save this for the thread....

Everybody always thought my brother John was Jewish.
He looks like Steven Speilberg.

Now....Jews that don't believe in Jesus...
THEY have a problem....
