>> The bottom line of what I said is that If Bahais said "Muhammad
(saaws) is the last prophet and messenger and there aren't anymore
coming after him [fullstop]" then there wouldn't be a problem. But
Bahais don't say that. <<
In addition to the Quranic principle not to make a distinction between those
who speak God's words, another reason why Bahais do not a full stop statement
is because :
Bahaullah asked us to slowly unveil His True Station because if we unveiled it
too quickly the soul of man would not be able to handle it or understand it.
A physical analogy is that one cannot feed an infant sushi, or the infant will
die.
Today, the Bahai community and the world at large is like an infant. If the
writings fully unveiled the station of the Bab and then the station of
Bahaullah immediately, the infant body of the Bahai community and the body of
the world community would spiritually die.
Hidden Words 77 hints at this.
So does the Story of Bahaullah posted by Khazeh.
But it sounds like you are ready Gilberto.
