Re: Interesting thread

[Hajir Moghaddam]

> Even the Baha'i Writings themselves speak of the Quran as being unadulterated.  So, the question remains, if the Quran, which is the updated (in the sense of accuracy) version of the same Revelation of the past, and it hasn't become tainted over the years, why do we need another Revelation?  Add the "Seal of the Prophets" argument, and there's not much reason to think of the Baha'i Faith as a continuation. <

 

Hi Ben,  I agree that this is the main question.

 

But I believe this question is directly tied into the questions I posted earlier.

 

However, I have not been able to clearly understand, and therefore not been able to coherently communicate the answer to these questions.  Here they are:

 

"How can they [Christians] be the People of the Book if their Book [Gospel] was really not among them?  How can the people be expected to be guided by a Book that doesn't exist, by a God who is Just?  Since the time of the birth of the human race, God sent prophets to the people, and each Messenger was sent with a Book, according to the Glorious Qur'an.  How is it that God's Book was continually lost?... What makes the Muslims of Arabia so much different from all the other peoples of the world that they were the only exception to this throughout all of history?"

 

Clearly, the situation is quite complicated.

 

Regards,

Hajir
