General note | Responding: 101 Questions Often Asked of Bahá’ís considers 101 questions often asked of Bahá’ís—with each answer written as if given in direct response to a questioner. The book is filled with interesting facts and useful details to enhance one’s general knowledge on various issues relevant to a question. Following each sample answer is a mini-compilation that then provides extensive Bahá’í references on topics pertaining to the question so readers can study what the Teachings say on a subject. Responding is a marvelous learning aid and reference work for any believer who wants to be a better, more effective and confident teacher of the Faith of Bahá’u’lláh.<br/><br/>In Responding you will find answers to these, and many more, questions:<br/><br/>* How can we know if God exists? Can a Creator really be proven?<br/><br/>* Where is God when bad things happen to good people?<br/><br/>* How can Bahá’u’lláh prove His claim to be a Manifestation of God?<br/><br/>* If all religions come from One Divine Source, as Bahá’ís claim, then why are there so many religions and why are they so different?<br/><br/>* What is the purpose of life? Why did God create humans?<br/><br/>* Can Bahá’ís prove the existence of the human soul and its survival after the death of the body?<br/><br/>* What do Bahá’ís think about reincarnation?<br/><br/>* Why did God give man free will when He could foresee the mess that would lead to?<br/><br/>* What makes Bahá’ís think world peace is even possible when aggression and conflict are such ingrained aspects of human nature, and history seems to be nothing more than a record of endless fighting?<br/><br/>* Can you give me examples of some “new” teachings of Bahá’u’lláh which Bahá’ís say were not revealed in any past religions?<br/><br/>* Did Bahá’u’lláh claim to be God, like Jesus?<br/><br/>* The Bible associates certain signs with Jesus’ return—but these have not yet all happened, so how can Bahá’ís say Christ has “already returned”?<br/><br/>* The Bible tells us it is complete in truth, that nothing needs to be or should be added unto it—so why would a Christian need Bahá’u’lláh’s teachings?<br/><br/>* Do Bahá’ís believe in Jesus’ virgin birth? Since a virgin birth is contrary to science, isn’t acceptance of Jesus’ virgin birth against the Bahá’í Teaching that religious beliefs must be provable by science? |
