Re: criteria for appropriateness Re: Interesting thread

[addressed to Scott]
 How do you define appropriate? I would suggest we come up with some
 specific moral principles, a set of criteria which makes sense, and
 which can be applied in different situations.

Susan:
 We are neither prophets nor the sons of prophets that we should presume to
 do this.

Gilberto:
 But you *are* presuming to talk about the teachings of at least one
 prophet and call them barbaric, inappropriate, genocidal, out of date.

Susan:
 The only thing which is true of the above statement is that I did suggest it
 was out of date.

Gilberto:
I'm not just addressing you.  Some of your co-religionists on this
forum have used phrases similar to each of the above.

Susan:
And I suggest that on the basis of God's new revelation.
 And modern sensibilities seem to be largely in tune with that. The world's
 reaction to what happened in Bosnia is a reflection of those sensibilities.

 Sorry, Gilberto. We just disagree and we are going to continue to disagree
 about this. We can leave it there without misrepresenting what I actually
 said.

Gilberto:
By removing the context you misrepresented what I said. To begin with
the initial question wasn't addressed to you at all but to Scott. And
then you inserted yourself into the conversation speaking for We
Bahais. So I addressed the various comments different Bahais have made
recently in this forum.

I don't think it is presumtuous to say "Hey killing folks who areminding their own business is generally wrong" or "stealing is a badthing to do"

Hajir: Since the world has changed and we today are living in a new world per the Most Holy Verse "Open thou thine eyes to behold how a NEW CREATION hath come into being since the year nine (1853)", even the divine rules revealed by God in the Qur'an have been recreated through His new Revelation.

Gilberto: 

How do you define "appropriate"? I would suggest we come up with somespecific moral principles, a set of criteria which makes sense, andwhich can be applied in different situations.

Hajir:

This is a great idea. The only criteria and condition that makes sense is God Himself. Since God is beyond our capability to recognize Him, we must look to His Messenger and His Book as what is appropriate, what is right.
Now that the Manifestation of God has come, now that the Book foretold by the Qur'an as the Judge on the Day of Resurrection has appeared, the only right thing, the only appropriate thing, is to be humble before God and follow in His way.

Ok. I think I understand your position. I've heard it before from
other Bahais. But when I look at certain cases I think that view has
certain difficulties. A good example would be the issue of slavery. As
was brought up before, previous religions permitted slavery. But
slavery was not allowed under the shariah of Bahaullah.

But well *before* Bahaullah had anything to say about the subject,
there were people in the West who looked at the institution of slavery
in their own societies, using the values they already had saw
something wrong with it, and did what they could to abolish it.

So I would say that to *some* degree, human beings have *some*
capacity to tell right from wrong, apart from a specific text.

Do you agree?

tried and incarcerated. I'd say that's appropriate nowadys, in this day

Dear Susan,

He is not going to stop doing that. It's just totally pointless to try to
reason with him because he has left his mind and reasoning power somewhere
