The Baha'i Studies Listserv sen :-) first, "portion" requires that i note how randomlu amused i am by the amount of common ground we see, and the difference in our angle of view in doing it..:-)
:" that the consensus of the faithful is a source of Bahai teachings. In this the Bahai Faith differs from both Islam and Christianity" i would offer this was a major gunning point of mine at a recent conversation atpB in re "dogma" vs "sola scriptura" and indeed, this thread here is recallin to mind the WOB cite "unwarranted assumptions." :"religion and generation:" i note again the twin generations for generation, and the root for "religion" and thus would view ur statement :" an the clods this revelation is given to keep bringing it down to the concrete, " every Event of the Cause of God ends up having certain strictures of praxis that materially appear to be the "purpose." >>>but<<< :"True Sovereignty is reduced to a better system of government, the Kingdom of God is moved from "within you" to a day on the calendar soon." i would view thru a pythagorean like eye, and say 2 becomes 2 of..becuase there is no 2 without a "2 of" m&ms, pomegranites, etc. but the 2 is more "real" than the pm&ms..even if they melt in you mouth not in ur hands... and "cocoa" goes from being a currency for god-kings to homage each other to being a way for children to share on a playground.. and thus the Kingdom indeed >>manifests<< "in earth as it is in heaven" in the same, more "academically correct " sense, members of the Faith putting the m&ms into a sterling silver bowl on the table are, to my dim understanding, making an eschatological statement. and the random reduction in lead poisoning becomes a "manifest proof" for those who wish to see...while the worshipping of gold and silver stay as invalid as it was the evening mene, mene, tekel, upharsin was Jotted onto a post-it note and Delivered to a king. --- having just stopped to read ur links, i recall my personal interpretation of a group of events which included the House's evaluation of the mutuality of informed consent in the contract, and our 2nd exchange (the first being here or t9 over u recalling the penalty for rape farrrrr better than i did.) over at bnut. imho it relates directly to the thread header and subsequent comments. and i thank u for for the links. __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:[email protected] Unsubscribe: send a blank email to mailto:[email protected] Subscribe: send subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [email protected] Or subscribe: http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/all_forums/subscribe?name=bahai-st Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:[email protected] Web - http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/?forum=bahai-st News (on-campus only) - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]
