Yes. Did Jesus teach the Torah, or did He say "*I* am the way, the truth, and the life"?

edit: Oops. I didn't see the word "who" in the first question, which has been answered by a more capable Baha'i.

In my opinion, the clearest example - Did Jesus teach that when someone slaps you across the face you should slap them back, as God said in His Word, or did Jesus give a new Revelation?

 

So when is the next book hitting the shelves?
The books (plural, the Baha'is have a lot of authoritative teaching) have been on the shelves of public and college libraries for decades. They are available online, for free. And our Publishing Trust sells to the general public, if you want your own hardcopies for long-term study.

Dear friend,

Who? Everyone.

You're using an old manual, JBF. You aready rejected a number of the more current updated printings of the manual. What difference does it make when the next upgrade comes along. You wouldn't know if there was anything contrary to what has already been said if you haven't studied the other previous ones first.

You would not realistically know if you had more of the Lawh-mafuz(Preserved Tablet) if you came across it; especially if you believe you got it all already; even if history shows your manual in hand is a copy of a copy of a copy with faded writings, margins note-filled and now with lost or abandoned sepia filled chapters that has long ago come apart at the seems.

That's right Free.man... A wise servant rejects anything that his Master says is false.




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

Matthew 24:4

Saul of Tarsus followed his Master - Moses - to the best of his ability. Because of that, he rejected Jesus' claims.

Until, on the road to Damascus, he decided to start listening.

There is a lot of difference between what the master says and what the servant hears. Unfortunately for many Jesus spoke some 2000 years ago and they are getting the message second hand many times removed. Now show me again where Jesus said the servant aught to listen to Martin Luther? I'm sure he was a nice sincere guy and all but where exactly in the Bible does it say ML will update what the Master says some 1500 years later?

Maybe, better a Thekla protomartyre chaste be then a taradiddle to see? :bigwink:

Centeris paribus!

The best free library available for free download is Ocean. The download can take a long while if you don't have a high speed connection, but you can request a disk in the mail for the cost of the disk and the postage--if you're tapped out totally just ask for a free disk and it will sent at their expense.

 

Judaic writings fully google searchable from the translations of the TaNakh, not the Septaguint and other Jewish commentary including Talmud.

Hindu writings are there,

 

Zoroastrian, Buddhist, Sikh, Islamic, Christian, Tao an d Baha'i. You can even delete from the library what you don't want on your hard drive once it is installed.

Twisting, re-interpreting, adding to, taking away, allegoric soup...

CONCLUSION: THE MODERN DAY RELIGIONS HAVE NOTHING NEW TO ADD FROM GOD THAT JESUS OR THE PROPHETIC SCRIPTURES HAVEN'T ALREADY SPOKEN!

I hope we can let them add the ability to work on the Sabbath at least.  I don't think the people in my town want the firemen, police, and emergency workers to be off either day on the weekend to be honest.

Maybe we should keep some people non-Christian just for jobs like that.  Just sayin, seems wise.  Maybe God allows for multiple religions just to help that issue alone.  That makes sense, anyway.

Non-Christians can work any day of the week and so can Christians. Freedom of choice there. A man don't work a man don't eat. So lets all work and eat.

It seems God didn't want everyone to be Christians or else we would be in the dangerous predicament of not having firemen, police, or emergency workers available on the Sabbath.

You just need a lot of 7th Day Adventists to fill in Sunday and take off Saturday.
