The Baha'i Studies Listserv
I've often found that after telling people things about the Faith that I would
have thought separate it from Christianity they say things indicating they
think Baha'i is a Christian denomination. Telling them about Buddha, Muhammad
and Baha'u'llah doesn't necessarily make them see a distinction. Perhaps the
problem is often that I might refer to them as 'Prophets'. Christians, and
many others, understand the word quite differently to Baha'is. Being a Prophet
or Messenger of God to them does not indicate sinlessness or infallibility. I
also find a lot of people who haven't heard I'm a Baha'i but only know I'm
religious assume I'm Christian. Many think that if you're white and religious
you must be a Christian.
Regards,
David
