This question is frightening me, because of this dictatorial way of
spying each others!...

Dear all,
Just please let's all remember that they will never be one proof that
one prophet, Abraham, Jesus, Mohamad, the Bab or every other, has given
us one single word coming from God.
Based on this, theology looks like a so little human discussion...

Dear Hajmog,
Unfortunatly we don't know God exists, we just believe He is the Way,
the Truth and the Life!
Unfortunatly we don't know Muhamad, Jesus, Bahaullah (and many others)
are not frauds, we just believe they gave us part of the revelation of God!

Dear Gilberto,
You are right when you say that we shouldn't make any distiction between
prophets, as the prophets have NOT so much importance, they all were
just human but being the tools of God to deliver some revelations.
