> I wouldn't say that the Gospel is simplistically NOT among the Christians. But is imperfectly
among them. The New Testament contains some words and teachings which
probably did come from Jesus (as). But it also contains things which
come from Paul. And it also contains things attributed to James,
Peter, John, Matthew, and others.

(1) Based on your own admission above, the guidance contained within the Gospel, which based on your own statement is a subset of the existing Gospel (i.e. take out the "commercials breaks of untruth" interspersed in between) was legitimate enough of a guidance to the people for the Qur'an to call those people who followed it the "People of the Book".
(2) You also state that there is no real need for Baha'u'llah because the Book of God Qur'an should be sufficient for all humanity from now until the end of time.
How can point (1) and point (2) both be valid at the same time?
Muhammad didn't take out the "commercial breaks of untruths" out of the existing Gospel to reveal the True Gospel. Muhammad revealed a Book which is NOT a subset of the existing Gospel. The Qur'an is really a NEW BOOK, it is not the Torah, and it is not the Gospel.
Why is it that you grant God the permission to reveal a NEW BOOK to the Prophet Muhammad, but not grant Him permission to reveal a NEW BOOK to Baha'u'llah?

Hajir
