The Baha'i Studies Listserv Hi, I think the Administrative Order has lost something important, i.e., Guardians, but it is dinamic enough to drive humankind to world unity. The writings are so clear that the Guardians have to be male descendents of the Blessed Beauty, so, sects are discarded in our religion. Peace are guaranteed at least for 1000 years, as it is promised in the Bible. With sects, I think peace is not viable. Though we have a hard way to run.

It is clear from the Aqdas that there was an expectation that the line of the Aghsan (from which Guardians are drawn) would end at some point. Endowments dedicated to charity revert to God, the Revealer of Signs. None hath the right to dispose of 35 them without leave from Him Who is the Dawning-place of Revelation. After Him, this authority shall pass to the Aghsan, and after them to the House of Justice -- should it be established in the world by then -- that they may use these endowments for the benefit of the Places which have been exalted in this Cause, and for whatsoever hath been enjoined upon them by Him Who is the God of might and power. (Baha'u'llah, The Kitab-i-Aqdas, p. 34) __________________________________________________ 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] ____________________________________________________________________________________ ¡Obtén la mejor experiencia en la web!
