Gilberto I understand that the Bahais believe in progressive revelation but then how do you parse those other statements which seem to say something different? Okay, we have established that from a Baha`i point of view, the Bab completes the revelation. Then we need to discuss why Revelation needs further completion? What doesthe Bab have to say about it, I quoted the 2nd Tablet to He Whom God Will Make Manifest and the Bab Himself says that the Revelation to be brought by that future Prophet will make the Bab's Book complete. So, why should we think that the completeness of the Bab's Revelation is an obstacle to further revelation when the Bab Himself says it must come to pass?   Regards,   Scott __________________________________________________ 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
