500 | _aResponding: 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. In Responding you will find answers to these, and many more, questions: * How can we know if God exists? Can a Creator really be proven? * Where is God when bad things happen to good people? * How can Bahá’u’lláh prove His claim to be a Manifestation of God? * 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? * What is the purpose of life? Why did God create humans? * Can Bahá’ís prove the existence of the human soul and its survival after the death of the body? * What do Bahá’ís think about reincarnation? * Why did God give man free will when He could foresee the mess that would lead to? * 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? * Can you give me examples of some “new” teachings of Bahá’u’lláh which Bahá’ís say were not revealed in any past religions? * Did Bahá’u’lláh claim to be God, like Jesus? * 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”? * 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? * 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? | ||
