    I just went to her page, she has us on blast! LOL! My daughter would say, "she's sub tweeting" All you can do is tell her the truth and trust the Holy Spirit will do His thing with Her heart. I think she's sincere, just mislead.

    "Why is it so hard to LOVE others, accept them with all their flaws and respect their choices and life path????"

    The irony here is that she is one who left because she couldn't accept our choices. I was talking to Kay about it and she said that Baha'i teaches their followers to avoid disagreements which is a good ploy so that no one talks them out of their cult.

    From wikipedia :

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bah%C3..._Faith#History

    On the evening of 22 May 1844, Siyyid `Alí-Muhammad of Shiraz, Iran proclaimed that he was "the Báb" (الباب "the Gate"), referring to his later claim to the station of Mahdi, the Twelfth Imam of Shi`a Islam.[3] His followers were therefore known as Bábís. As the Báb's teachings spread, which the Islamic clergy saw as a threat, his followers came under increased persecution and torture.[12] The conflicts escalated in several places to military sieges by the Shah's army. The Báb himself was imprisoned and eventually executed in 1850.[45]
    Bahá'ís see the Báb as the forerunner of the Bahá'í Faith, because the Báb's writings introduced the concept of "He whom God shall make manifest", a Messianic figure whose coming, according to Bahá'ís, was announced in the scriptures of all of the world's great religions, and whom Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Bahá'í Faith, claimed to be in 1863.


    It's basically an offshoot from Islam that is built on the appearance of one or more Mahdis or false Messiahs. In modern times it has become more New Agey.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bah%C3%A1%27u%27ll%C3%A1h

    Bahá'u'lláh (/bəˈhɑːʊˌlɑː/; Arabic: بهاء الله‎‎, "Glory of God"; 12 November 1817 – 29 May 1892), born Mírzá Ḥusayn-`Alí Núrí (Persian: میرزا حسینعلی نوری‎‎), was the founder of the Bahá'í Faith. He claimed to be the prophetic fulfilment of Bábism, a 19th-century outgrowth of Shí‘ism,[1] and, in a broader sense claimed to be a messenger from God referring to the fulfilment of the eschatological expectations of Islam, Christianity, and other major religions.[2]

    The Mahdi (Islamic Messiah) and Jesus returned, in the same person.

    What is she saying? That we are just uninformed? Since this religion seems to believe all roads lead to God then our view should not be a problem for her..even though she would certainly reject that Jesus is the ONLY way...

    Yes! I was troubled the moment I saw that name with the quote and knew it shouldn't be on the FB group page. The devil is sneaky.

    Names like that represent demonic power. However, there is a name above all names!!! Glory!!!! There is power in Jesus' name!!!

    Jesus is the Royal Name that gives instant access into the very throne room of God! ... the Saving Name that births the unregenerated into the family of God and the House of Faith! ... the victorious name that delivers the oppressed from the tyranny of darkness!!! ... the healing name that causes the lame to walk and the blind to see!
