(6:38) Muhammed did not leave anything out of the Book that He was told to reveal.   042.052 PICKTHAL: And thus have We inspired in thee (Muhammad) a Spirit of Our command. Thou knewest not what the Scripture was, nor what the Faith. But We have made it a light whereby We guide whom We will of Our bondmen. And lo! thou verily dost guide unto a right path, 057.016 YUSUFALI: Has not the Time arrived for the Believers that their hearts in all humility should engage in the remembrance of Allah and of the Truth which has been revealed (to them), and that they should not become like those to whom was given Revelation aforetime, but long ages passed over them and their hearts grew hard? For many among them are rebellious transgressors. 069.040 PICKTHAL: That it is indeed the speech of an illustrious messenger. 069.041 PICKTHAL: It is not poet's speech - little is it that ye believe! 069.042 PICKTHAL: Nor diviner's speech - little is it that ye remember! 069.043 PICKTHAL: It is a revelation from the Lord of the Worlds. 069.044 PICKTHAL: And if he had invented false sayings concerning Us, 069.045 PICKTHAL: We assuredly had taken him by the right hand 069.046  PICKTHAL: And then severed his life-artery, 069.047 PICKTHAL: And not one of you could have held Us off from him. 069.048 PICKTHAL: And lo! it is a warrant unto those who ward off (evil). 069.049  PICKTHAL: And lo! We know that some among you will deny (it). 069.050 PICKTHAL: And lo! it is indeed an anguish for the disbelievers. 069.051 PICKTHAL: And lo! it is absolute truth. 069.052 PICKTHAL: So glorify the name of thy Tremendous Lord. Muhammed revealed only what God bade Him reveal, whatever else He might have known. Baha`u'llah makes it clear that no Messenger speaks other than that which He is instructed to say.   This is true of EACH revelation. One hears Baha`u'llah make the claim to be a Messenger and accepts it or denies it. Some choose one way and some the other. That is between each individual and God. I believe God's Mercy is as boundless as His Justice.   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
