Actually, it is Christ who is being lifted here. Not another religion.




Jesus said, "Take heed that no one deceives you."

Dear friend,

Exactly! That is what I'm saying.  The same Christ; the same religion from God.

Jesus came from heaven in the first place, through the womb of a woman. He'll return the same way. Which of course, He has done three times now.

Abdu'l Baha, Some Ansswered Questions, pp. 109-112

"It is clear to all that Christ came from heaven, although apparently He came from the womb of Mary. At the first coming He came from heaven, though apparently from the womb; in the same way, also, at His second coming He will come from heaven, though apparently from the womb. The conditions that are indicated in the Gospel for the second coming of Christ are the same as those that were mentioned for the first coming, as we said before.

4 The Book of Isaiah announces that the Messiah will conquer the East and the West, and all nations of the world will come under His shadow, that His Kingdom will be established, that He will come from an unknown place, that the sinners will be judged, and that justice will prevail to such a degree that the wolf and the lamb, the leopard and the kid, the sucking child and the asp, shall all gather at one spring, and in one meadow, and one dwelling. [4] The first coming was also under these conditions, though outwardly none of them came to pass. Therefore, the Jews rejected Christ, and, God forbid! called the Messiah masíkh, [5] considered Him to be the destroyer of the edifice of God, regarded Him as the breaker of the Sabbath and the Law, and sentenced Him to death. Nevertheless, each one of these conditions had a signification that the Jews did not understand; therefore, they were debarred from perceiving the truth of Christ.

5 The second coming of Christ also will be in like manner: the signs and conditions which have been spoken of all have meanings, and are not to be taken literally. Among other things it is said that the stars will fall upon the earth. The stars are endless and innumerable, and modern mathematicians have established and proved scientifically that the globe of the sun is estimated to be about one million and a half times greater than the earth, and each of the fixed stars to be a thousand times larger than the sun. If these stars were to fall upon the surface of the earth, how could they find place there? It would be as though a thousand million of Himalaya mountains were to fall upon a grain of mustard seed. According to reason and science this thing is quite impossible. What is even more strange is that Christ said: "Perhaps I shall come when you are yet asleep, for the coming of the Son of man is like the coming of a thief." [6] Perhaps the thief will be in the house, and the owner will not know it.

6 It is clear and evident that these signs have symbolic signification, and that they are not literal. They are fully explained in the Kitáb-i-Íqán. Refer to it. "

Regards,
Scott

Everything for the Bahai faith when using the bible is symbolic, allegoric and re-interpreted Scott.

Everything in the Bible has symbolic, allegoric meaning and has been re-interporeted by Christians ever since the canon was established in the mid-4th century, LBF. It requires torturous re-interpretation to believe the Gospels claim Christ is God, for instance.

 

Christ is as close to God as mankind is capable of comprehending, but God, Himself? You cannot contain the oceans in a teacup.

Though I think the Baha'i members here are neat people, I still find it hard to wrap my mind around any God or Christ named Muhammed!!  I'm sorry, but you're in a whole different religion here......and I'm not quite sure how the Baha'i's came to it from reading THE BIBLE?  Without going back and reading thousands and thousands of thread posts, you seem to be more cut and dried, could you just give me a simple, believable answer here?

Scriptures depict a different method of Christ's next coming - in the clouds, as He left.




Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. -Matthew 22:37-39

Do both the Bahai and Christians believe that a Judgment Day of some sort came or will come with Jesus' Second Coming? Is that when picking up people and throwing them into Hell to suffer for all eternity (lovingly of course) was to happen?
