Praised is "Pariclytos". And I think it is totally bizzare that you
are expressing skepticism on this point because Bahai sources
(including a letter from Shoghi Effendi) agree that this passage in
the New Testament refers to Muhammad's revelation.
It is still the case that Muslim use of the Bible is more concrete,
specific, literal, more convincing than Bahai use of Islamic sources
in the examples being discussed.
