There are two ways of living your life. You can think that miracles do not
exist. But you can also think that everything is a miracle.

1. If a person wants to know what I think of his opinion, I'll offer my
own views, and my observations about where the opinion coincides with,
or veers from, the Baha'i teachings as I understand them.
I see that as quite different from being asked to pronounce on whether a
Baha'i is permitted

Dear Brent,
I am not much interested in monogamy vs polygamy and etc. The portion of
Sen's message that I am very interested in your opinion about is as follows:
First, I don't think that the Writings are the proof of the Bahai
Faith, in the way that the Quran is the proof for Islam, the rapid
Dear Rich:
Actually, `Abdu'l-Baha did not reverse Himself; it's rather
straightforward if you follow it rather carefully. Here is the thing: as

just the Writings of Baha'u'llah; so, `Abdu'l-Baha tells Baha'is that

the following you wrote is the very opposite of anything I have seen
written by Sen or heard him voice, so please provide any evidence
written in Sen's own hand to support your claim here.
Own hand? All we get are bytes out here in cyberspace. But here are
some of his statements in this
If any of the 'reasons' you gave in the posting were the reasons the
House of Justice had or have against Sen's views, I think they would
not be afraid of stating this. They have not.
Actually, they did. But their statements were misrepresented as saying
Baha'is couldn't study theology.
I like that.

I remember once suggesting that the Bahai faith had a notion of
orthodoxy, or right belief (like certain other religions) using
Sen's disenrollment as an example. But then you had argued it wasn't
so important Sen's issues wasn't so much a matter of mere belief but
had more to do with his

Shoghi Effendi closely analyses texts from Baha'u'llah and Abdu'l-

Sen, I understood your point to be that since the Bayan permitted bigamy
for a childless couple, the Baha'i Faith does also; and that the Master
did not ultimately come down on the matter specifying monogamy. I may

Dear Ron,
That's why you need to be more specific.
I have since become aware that many Baha'is
seem to hold very different views, and instead see it as necessary that the
Baha'i Faith eliminate all other religions eventually.
