Re: Martyrdom of the Bab

[Patti Goebel]

"We don't even know for sure it was a miracle. Remember, the regiment in question had no wish to kill the Bab."   Susan,   Yes, it's true that the leader of the regiment did not wish to kill the Bab; however, I doubt that he could have ordered his 750 soldiers to shoot for the ropes and for all of them to actually miss the Bab and Mirza Muhammad Ali, while still hitting the rope.  That would probably constitue a miracle in and of itself, let alone the miracle of 750 men keeping such an order secret.   Patti __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 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/[EMAIL PROTECTED] New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
