Re: Merchants of Babylon

[Patti Goebel]

< Well, don't forget Muhammad and the Bab were chants too. ;-}   I wasn't forgetting (it came out in the Ocean search when I was tracking down the exact quotes I was thinking about).  In this case I'm referring only to the allegorical "merchants" of corrupted religion--Babylon, not earthly ones or inhabitants of the allegorical Holy City--Jerusalem.  It's pretty clear from the stories that the Bab was an honest merchant, (e.g. - paying someone the price he should have gotten when he was slow in selling something for them that had been at a higher price--if only more of our earthly merchants held to those standards ;-) ).   __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, send a blank email to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, use subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Web - http://list.jccc.edu/read/?forum=bahai-st News - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Public - http://www.escribe.com/religion/bahaist Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
