The Baha'i Studies Listserv i am being randomly amused by arguments against sen's point of view that depend on fallibility by the House or the beloved Guardian--in order to preserve the view that some individual (other than sen) is "right."
the relevant cite appears to be (and if i missed something here, feel free to correct it) :"'Abdu'l-Bahá anticipated that the Lesser Peace could be established > before the end of the twentieth century" well. does the House have the infallible Authority, relying on experts in math, that if people had obeyed the Master, "each one, teach one" the version of the fibonacci series called in my world "the rabbit paradox" makes any other outcome but that the entire earth population "be Baha'i" by 1937 or so impossible?" imho, yes. does the House have the infalllibl Authority to ote that that the Master's infalliblity was a case of "conferred" and not "Most Great"? imho. yes. does random human fallibility create the power for people to "make this" reality into a fantasy of their own? certainly. it's in The DEal. since the Master and the Guardian ad the House are infalllible, each in own turf, then a couple of things are possible. of the 2 i know of: 1. sen is right about "century"; 2. i am right about "establish" 3. either way, empowering 11-14 yoas to do better than anybody here at actually dealing with what is actuallly going on has more "meaning" than semiotic arcanery..even tho showing them howe to avoid such thru the embrace of ambiguity may be part of the job. __________________________________________________ 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]
