Does this apply to the Quran as well?


For those of you who don't know Gilberto, he is a Muslim who I invited onto this list.

In answer to your question, Gilberto, yes, I think the meanings of any true scripture cannot be exhausted. But I don't think any scripture, including Baha'i scripture, is exhaustive. That's why we have progressive revelation.
