Dear Stephen, That may very well be what they believe, however what we are dealing with here is what Baha'is believe and 'Abdu'l-Baha was rather emphatic that the Twelve Imam that was said to have gone into hiding never really existed. It is clear, therefore, that for *Baha'is* the notion of Imamate/Guardianship ending was always a possibility. warmest, Susan __________________________________________________ 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]
