"According to comments made by Susan in a different context, the concept of Manifestation corresponds somewhat to the concept of Perfect Man. And I would say that although Islam would say there aren't new prophets after Muhammad, it is possible for there to be "Perfect Men" after the Muhammad."
Dear Gilberto, I think you misunderstood what I said. As I recall you raised the question of the Perfect Man and I indicated the Writings used that a little more broadly than Manifestation as Baha'u'llah applied it to the Siyyid Kazim Rashti and Shaykh Ahmad Ahsa'i was well. Baha'u'llah is more than a Perfect Man, and He is only 'not a prophet' in the sense that He is much *more* than that, not less. warmest, Susan __________________________________________________ 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
