To my way of thinking to deny the Power of God to express His Will
through a "human" Mouthpiece, as were all His Manifestations, is to
deny all Creation.
How so?
Omniscient at will.. Whose will? Baha'u'llah prayed: "Aid me, O my
Lord, to surrender myself wholly to Thy Will."
Good point. But I still wonder why God would do it this way. And it
still violates Occam's Razor. Wouldn't it be a lot simpler to assume
that Abdul Baha used an interpreter becuase he could't understand
English well without one?
