The Baha'i Studies Listserv Dear Susan, Do you mean that prophets will not exist? Or do you think it is possible some bahá'ís could be spiritual enough to make prophecies about many issues, for example the future of the community, or something related to the coming of next Prophet, etc. Thanks

Not if it is criticism of the Universal House of Justice. Abdu'l-Baha is quite clear that this 'prophetic' function is disallowed: We have noted what thou didst write to Jinab-i-Ibn-Abhar, and thy question regarding the verse: 'Whoso layeth claim to a Revelation direct from God, ere the expiration of a full thousand years, such a man is assuredly a lying impostor.' . . . The substance is, that prior to the completion of a thousand years, no individual may presume to breathe a word. All must consider themselves to be of the order of subjects, submissive and obedient to the commandments of God and the laws of the House of Justice. Should any deviate by so much as a needle's point from the decrees of the Universal House of Justice, or falter in his compliance therewith, then is he of the outcast and rejected. (Abdu'l-Baha, Selections from the Writings of Abdu'l-Baha, p. 67) __________________________________________________ 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!
