Well, yeah. But that's merely stating the obvious. I don't see your point. >Gilberto: I'm pretty sure that "street churches" where long-haired hippies > go around in public openly proclaiming the gospel are alot older than the > kind with pews : ) I totally agree, and I think that's a completely valid kind of religion. This began with you saying that if one kind of religion is valid at one time and place, it ought to be valid at all times and all places, and that's what we disagree on. Bahá'u'lláh clearly says that religion will continue to evolve, and that in the future another Manifestation will come. It seems to me that you have a problem with the idea of mankind maturing and becoming able to internalize greater portions of God's revelation - which, according to Bahá'í belief, is ultimately and forever beyond the capacity of man to fully understand.
