Resurrection of Christ

2006-10-10 Thread David Friedman

One issue of major importance for Baha'is with relation to Christians is the resurrection of Jesus. The resurrection is connected to the ascension and return of Christ. If there was a bodily resurrection then there was a bodily ascension and the return of Christ would be the very same person returning. One thing I don't know how to explain well is 'Abdu'l-Baha's explanation. The explanation He gives certainly doesn't appear to agree with the resurrection narratives. 'Abdu'l-Baha says that the resurrection was the disciples regaining their faith. However, the narratives have the regaining of faith something that happens AFTER the resurrection. Furthermore, they have Jesus as helping them get their faith back, whereas 'Abdu'l-Baha says they got it back by themselves. When 'Abdu'l-Baha gives
biblical proof it is not from the narratives. Hence I don't see how to prove that the resurrection had anything to do with the disciples. Any thoughts?

Re: Resurrection of Christ

2006-10-10 Thread Scott Saylors

Well, Abdu'l Baha says there was no physical resurrection. In my mind the Apostles of Christ may well have seen Christ amongst them as a spiritual form beyond their comprehension.What ever else happened during that time, and however the Spirit of Christ amongst them is represented, the REAL resurrection was the resurrection of the Cause of God amongst the followers of Christ. Without that specific event, Jesus would have had no more impact on civilization than Mani had.Regards, ScottDavid Friedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: One issue of major importance for Baha'is with relation to Christians is the resurrection of Jesus.

Re: Resurrection of Christ

2006-10-10 Thread Richard H. Gravelly




1. Abdu'l-Baha refers, as well, to Mary 
Magdelena as the reason for the return of the faith of the 
disciples.

"O maid-servant of God! Verily, Mary, the 
Magdalene, was a villager, but she kept firm in the Cause of Christ and 
confirmed the apostles at the time she declared to them (thus): "Verily, Christ 
is alive and eternal and death did not overtake Him; and verily, the foundation 
of His religion is not shaken by His crucifixion at the hand of the oppressors!" 
By this her face is eternally shining from the horizon of 
guidance."
(Abdu'l-Baha, Tablets of Abdu'l-Baha v2, p. 
268)

2. Perhaps if one were to approach the issue 
of "resurrection of the body" from the perspective of these verses; the task 
might not be so difficult. It would seem that the Christian will the need 
to face the fact that as "eating" cannot be taken literally' then the use of the 
word "bread" cannot be so taken. He might then be willing to conclude that 
bodily ascension is probably not what is meant by the word 
"ascended".


:6:56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my 
blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

6:57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live 
by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

6:58 This is that bread which came down from 
heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this 
bread shall live for ever.
(King James Bible, John)

Richard.

From Wikpedia: ' al-Dajjal (Arabic: , al- dajjl) ("The Deceiver/impostor/quack"[1]) is an evil figure in Islamic eschatology, who will appear before Yawm al-Qiyamah. He is similar to the Antichrist in Christianity "Dajjal" in itself is a commonly use Arabic word, "Dajjals" could refer to "False prophets". "Al-Dajjal" on the other hand translates to "The Impostor", refering to a specific end-of time deceiver. It is worthy to note that the term Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal (Arabic for "The False Messiah") is a literal translation of the Syriac term "Meshiha Deghala", which had been in the common vocabulary of the Middle East for more than 400 years prior to the Quran via the Peshitta (which uses that term
instead of the Greek "antichristos").[1] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well, even if it's _not_ okay, the least you could do now that you've tantalized some of us is to tell us the name of the book! ;-) --Sekhmet In a message dated 10/10/06 8:30:51 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: . . . to announce the publication of a novel I have written, with somereferences and quotes from the Baha`i faith tucked away within the story, on this list?

Hello Scott, to announce the publication of a novel I have written, with some references and quotes from the Baha`i faith tucked away within the story, Since it contains quotes and referencesabout the Faith, did you have to get approval from the Baha'i review committeewhere you live? I am interested because I also would like to write, so I want to understand the rules. Rob Stockman has written something about this, for the U.S., but I don't have his notes.Tim

The quote is unattributed and the word "Baha`i" is only used in reference to individuals. The main character never discloses his religion, and I say nothing that might be construed as an offical stance.An alien asks the main character "What is it that your Persian Prophets said of this?"And a brief quote from the Hidden Words is the response.Tim Nolan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Hello Scott, to announce the publication of a novel I have written, with some references and quotes from the Baha`i faith tucked away within the story, Since it contains quotes and referencesabout the Faith, did you have to get approval from the
