Also, I just looked at some other sections of "the Promised Day has Come" and I think it is better to be candid about what is in your books. Especially now with the internet being what it is, it doesn't make any sense to hide what is in them. In the section entitled "Words to Muslim Ecclesiastics" it says: "In that same Book the Báb thus addresses the Shí'ihs, as well as the entire body of the followers of the Prophet: "O concourse of Shí'ihs! Fear ye God, and Our Cause, which concerneth Him Who is the Most Great Remembrance of God. For great is its fire, as decreed in the Mother-Book." "O people of the Qur'án! Ye are as nothing unless ye submit unto the Remembrance of God and unto this Book. If ye follow the Cause of God, We will forgive you your sins, and if ye turn aside from Our command, We will, in truth, condemn your souls in Our Book, unto the Most Great Fire. We, verily, do not deal unjustly with men, even to the extent of a speck on a date stone." Khazeh: > Keep investigating this NEWS the way you are.

Gilberto: Khazeh, I am not sure that this means what you think it does. I don't think it means to stop and listen to everyone who brings you news, even if they are evil. I think makes more sense to read it as saying, if someone is evil, you don't want to easily trust what they say. Peace Gilberto "My people are hydroponic" __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:archive@mail-archive.com 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:bahai-st@list.jccc.edu 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/bahai-st@list.jccc.net New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.edu
