I believe we are tested continually, even if we are not aware of it. This is
a bounty from God which one day we may be more aware of.
Each moment is precious and if we were not tested how can we progress?

Hi Tim,
Words have no meaning unless we understand them. In
my case, words in a language that I don't understand have no meaning for me, but

Consider that the worst of qualities and most odious of attributes, which is

I have often read your questions and the various answers by Baha'is. I find
that whatever answer you receive you are never satisfied and yet you still
enquire and persist. This denotes great perseverance and struggle. Please

Agreed, to turn towards the sun promotes the growth of the plant. We have
freewill and can align that will to God's will freely. The plant is not
free.
It still means to me that our freewill is important in both this world and
the next?

Interesting comment! I acknowledge that thought and realise my own
limitations.
Freewill seems so precious in this world that its difficult to imagine
anything greater.

This is a beautiful concept - surely truth is relative and not absolute.
According not only to our individual capacities and potential but also to

The stories of Hud and Salih are somewhat similar to the story of Noah, the
flood and the Ark. They are all symbolic. In the Bahá'í Writings we find
explained the significance of such terms as Noah's Ark, the flood, the she-camel

Dear all,
I am glad that Jim has apologised to Susan! The patience and understanding
shown by her is commendable. I note that the group becomes very active when
something confusing comes up so it is positive in an ironic way. I suppose this

Unity in diversity does not imply uniformity! Why is there so much objection
