Unity of Religions - Bahá'í

[mmshdz08]

LOVE IT <3

[awhisperatdawn]

The harmful things come from religious prejudice, which is very different from the genuine essence of the religions. It is like the fighting which sometimes goes on in the school playground, while the actual curriculum in the classrooms is quite enlightening to the keen-minded student. -P.G.

[thoughtalive]

Shall we dance? Please switch off the power of the five senses

Have a look at another direction of same love, unity & maybe we can have just one sparks of light of unity in this direction as well.

[theprotector300]

One day U will die and if U didn't give your entire life to The Lord Jesus Christ, followed Him, Loved Him, for sure U will go to Hell.

The plan of the devil is to have a place where all religions will be united and I know that it will happen one day for it is written in d Bible.

The second Beast will promote peace to the world.

Satan is using a lot of religion to deceive people.

The Bible is already here for thousands of years but people keep looking for emotions. (Religion will take U 2 Hell)

[freedom71000]

@theprotector300 what about the inquisitions , the crusades ? invasion of afghanistan and iraq by a so called christian nation? Christianity sounds a lot like satans work im afraid ;)

[gabrielapanta1]

absolutly amazing,in response ascension of Abdulbahá

[thoughtalive]

Fliker of unity in diversity in your brain is appearing as your thoughts in this video. On your vision of two eyes. Can we discover flicker of unity in my head & heads of billions of people in clusters around the world. Not in this land (my brain) is my land and that land (Your brain) is your land. "Earth is but one country and mankind its citizens." Do u think u can kindly add below flicker of unity on youtube here? Paul Simon with the thought of peace & unity.wmv

[emperor27]

Absolutely true!. All religions are like different rivers that ultimately become part of the sea and later merge in to the big ocean. The pat of all religions may be different but the goal is the same "Unison with the Supreme".

Peace, Love and Light.

[MrJapilz]

Excellent video. It is perfect for showing what the Bahá'í Faith and all religions from God are about. People have forgotten many of the truths that make us human. Bahá'u'llah, the divine physician, has come to accomplish what no human being can fathom. All will see.

[faithfulstronghold]

baha'i is a lie.

[DivineFellowship]

Devout Christians? I see the reading the Bible a lot. Savvy Yogis? You see them studying the Yoga-Sutra. Buddhists? They go to original texts: The Dhammapada, the Pali Canon, etc. Me? I am a devotee of yoga (God-meditation), thus I spend my time reading the Upanishads and the Yoga-Sutra. A non-dualist? He'll read the Mandokya Upanishad and the Yoga-Vasistha. But Bahai's stay far from their original texts and prefer to give you the "sales package" called "10 basic principles."

[DivineFellowship]

"You may be right that a lot of Baha’is are just regurgitating talking points but that is true of most all religious people everywhere." --|||--- Oh, not so, not so. Nobody does it like Baha'is. Basically, they'll get their faith off the "ten basic principles" that their organization puts out saying "Teach this." They don't get it from original texts. If they did, then "Martyrdom" and "Devotion" would certainly be on their "10 basic principles" card and not "Equality of men and women."

[Mierz13]

I saw my country in this. Beautiful video. 'Ofa lahi atu from the Kingdom of Tonga. <3

[bantalbusuk81]

there is no way to unite all religions with a new religion which comes from a religion (Shii Islam) because all the religion comes from different roots and beliefs and creed and doctrine. Each one colided with each other and the Doctrines seperate them. Those who believe in One God, Two Gods, 3 Gods and million of gods and goddesses and some does not preach Divinity at all..SOme say Pork and ALchohol are prohibited, some say its ok to consume, others say their way of salvation is the right way.

[DivineFellowship]

Ever read the Gita? Most terms are beyond Baha'i minds. Their schtick is: "Oh, that's all superseded now. That's not relevant in This Day." Sure. Terms for mind, concentration, abstraction (samadhi), ananda (bliss, a major attribute of God), brahmacharya (continence)--all "superceded" now. The B-Gita is a manual on how to "Look within thyself" to find God "standing within." But Baha'is don't give a hoot for that. But only for money & more buildings in Israel, White slavery capital of the world.

[bloodyspiderdust]

@DivineFellowship how well do you know the Baha'i Faith to say they don't believe in the Bhagavad Gita?

[DivineFellowship]

@bloodyspiderdust -- I was a member of the Baha'i Faith it, working hard for it, for over 15 years. You can't "believe" in a book you know nothing about, and you'd be hard-pressed to find 1 out of 1,000 Baha'is who actually comprehends content in the Bhagavad-Gita and is not just regurgitating a few "teaching talking points" that may obliquely reference it.

[rsll1986]

You may be right that a lot of Baha’is are just regurgitating talking points but that is true of most all religious people everywhere. On top of that almost all religious people are practicing spiritual materialism. I haven’t looked much into eastern religion scripture but I have a Baha’i Friend who has. I still like Baha’u’llah’s approach of uniting with the divine better than the eastern religions view of enlightenment.

[minescore]

THIS IS SPIRITUAL FORNICATION.

[TheCandygore]

Lovely!

[shamimbina]

BEAUTIFUL VIDEO! :)

[sisterelena]

This message is so important to the world today. The unity of religion, as discussed in the Baha'i document 'One Common Faith" is central to the building of a peaceful world civilisation. All sources of division and prejudice must be removed for we are truly one human race: "Ye are the fruits of one tree and the leaves of one branch."

"So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth."

"Blessed are the peacemakers."

Bring it on. Let's try peace for a change! Love2u!

[jorj119]

wonderful , beautiful!

[kavehmoosa]

Wonderful video, thanks Niholo

[DivineFellowship]

Baha'is tend to know zilch about all the religions they say "agree." Want to know how to make a Baha'i twitch in his chair? Read him one half-page of the Bhagavad-Gita.

[MandaaaG]

@DivineFellowship

Why?

[soniamgs]

Sou Bahái do Brasil, e parabens por nos oferecer tantos materiais lindos.Sõnia

[ConleyMali]

I certainly appreciate the emphasis on unity in diversity. This is extremely important. But we do not do this by pretending that all beliefs are equally true or valid. Even this belief claims to know more of the truth than any other religion (taking the place of the observer in the blind men and the elephant parable). Likewise, these religions which it is trying to unite are only superficially similar but fundamentally different. Although not stupid, it is ignorant to think otherwise. Study!

[Alex92513]

many thanks to my friend eliane for sharing this beautiful video!

[Goramagildo]

Very nice !!!

[PlugOutTuneIn]

Beautiful music

[ACGrizzle]

Also consider that It's a logical fallacy to demonstrate a conclusion by means of premises which presuppose that conclusion. This is called 'begging the question'. For example:

"God is real." How do you know? "Because the Bible says so." How do you know the Bible is correct? "Because it was inspired by God."

[0099wrestler]

@ACGrizzle You must learn where to take the Bible literally, and when not to take it. If scientists were like most people here at youtube, we would still only have candles for light, and horses to ride on.

[ACGrizzle]

@0099wrestler Most people at youtube are also not scientists.

[ACGrizzle]

And also, there are scientists today who are atheists or agnostics, or 'spiritual' who are performing truly amazing feats of scientific marvel. Look into quantum physics and you will find the marriage between spirituality and everything else that's commonly thought of as "anti-religious".

[nimz021]

TO (0099wrestler) You keep on speeking about the Devil, this is superstition, it is contrary to every principle of every faith. you are interpreting the Devil as a literal entity. But if God is the creator of the Heavens and the Earth and he is the all merciful why would he create such an entity? such notion was created thousands of years ago and maybe rightfully then, but now humanity has evolved and developed and so should the teachings from God, for it to be relevant to this day and age.

[0099wrestler]

If you read all of my posts, you will see I think logically but you never think logically at all. If Bahai Faith would follow logic, then they would accept there is a Devil. Since they don't that means they are the Devil's children, as both are liars, and murderers. You murder by denying the true messenger when he comes, so you block world peace, all the while you say you are peace makers.

[nimz021]

The same is true today for Bahaullah prophet of the Bahai faith, he comes to unite the world. in this world you have the power to choose, the way you want to shape your life, but only in this world, so choose wisely. learn from history, do not criticize without the knowledge behind it, read, learn, understand, as i have and as i will continue to. peace to all.

[0099wrestler]

@nimz021 Logic proves that Bahai Faith is found in the Qur'an, Chapter Cow, verses 8-21. Baha u llah should have been put in solitary confinement for life, so other devils like you had no leader.

[nimz021]

it is understandable for everyone who does not comprehend the teachings of the Bahai faith to criticize it, it is natural, it is human. BUT let us not forget, when christianity or islam, or any other religion was born, when jesus christ was speaking the words of God, the jews and the people critisized him, they refused his teachings, they crucified him, because he came to unite, and unite he did, the whole of west, the same for mohammad, the whole of east.

[0099wrestler]

The Devil works through all of the churches, mosques, synagogues: why do Bahai think they are different? When a person feels the spirit lead them it may be Satan, a great child of God, but who rebelled. I am the promised world savior in this age, who Baha u llah claimed to be, but Satan makes you think he is, and I am not.

[nimz021]

@0099wrestler please clarify why you think that bahais think they are different? and together maybe we can come to a conclusion.

[0099wrestler]

@nimz021 Mohammad's last speech said no new faith, meaning new verses are not to be written. The Qur'an says that Mohammad is the Seal of the Prophets, meaning again this is the last Holy Book to be delivered. Mohammad implied other messengers of God may come, such as to warn if a nation is to be destroyed, or as a teacher.

[0099wrestler]

@0099wrestler Cont: The Qur'an says that those who do not believe in the hereafter, they call the angels by female names. Baha u llah said the Maid of Heaven helped reveal his message. If any of this is wrong that proves the Devil works through Bahai Faith, please show me proof.

[nimz021]

@0099wrestler

[nimz021]

there is no point in arguing, investigation of truth for one self is one of the foundation principles of the Bahai faith, my only fear is you are not doing this to a sufficient extend, pulling out points from writtings and attaching your interpretation to them in order to argue your point. there are books in the Bahai faith such as questions and answers and kitabe Aqdas which will give you answers that you cannot argue with simply because you will sound illogical in your attempt.

[nimz021]

in the Bible it talks about, the return of Jesus, and how that day, the starts will fall from the sky on earth... science tells us that stars are millions of earth in size, if this notion in the Bible was taken to be literal, the whole of earth would be destroyed into nothingness, humanity would not exist for Jesus to return for, this simply cannot be true. The point is, do not take every Interpretation literally. Science should be in harmony with religion as stated by Bahaullah (Glory of God).

[0099wrestler]

@nimz021 Humanity are near hopeless. Giving lectures on what to do, all the while doing what they tell me not to do. Matthew 24:23 Jesus said it is not him. But you don't take that literally.Then the stars falling from the sky is an analogy of what happens during a nuclear winter, when the sky is overcast for months on end. But you take that literally.

[bornagain001]

@nimz021 " in the Bible it talks about, the return of Jesus, and how that day, the starts will fall from the sky on earth... "

Which verse are you referring to?

[ShaktiLila]

Beautiful !

[bornagain001]

"One of the purposes of this video is to point out that there is no single path to happiness."

God is NOT CONCERNED with our happiness. If He nwas, Christ would have not been crucified, 10 of the 12 disciples were put to death and the nsuffering of missionaries around the world. Only in America does our happiness rank higher than our RIGHTEOUSNESS.

[ACGrizzle]

Does being a christian make you happy?

[bornagain001]

Yes and No. If one only becomes a Christian to find happiness....they may be in for a shock. NOWHERE in the Bible does Christ promise happiness. The Apostles Paul, Peter, Mark, Matthew were all killed. Missionaries around the world are killed. Does this make them happy? Not really but as Christians we are given PEACE and JOY about what is happening around and to us. We know it is simply a part of God's plan.

[ACGrizzle]

I think that the desire to be happy is the only thing that motivates people to do anything. Happiness, and how to achieve it, is different for everyone. Happiness for one may be going to church every Sunday, for another playing the stock market, for another living in harmony with their environment, for another banging hot chicks and riding motorcycles.

The only reason people do anything is because they think it will fulfill them in some way, i.e. make them content/happy with their life.

[bornagain001]

The problem is...your life and your happiness is NOT ABOUT YOU. It has NEVER been about you. God CREATED you for His purpose and as long as you live in rebellion of God and His purpose for your life you will NEVER EXPERIENCE joy and peace. God already has a plan for your life. Your deviation from that plan WILL NOT bring you happiness.

[ACGrizzle]

The point is is that life can be interpreted through an infinite variety of lenses, one of these being Christianity, the one you find yourself looking through.

One of the points of this video is to illustrate the fact that all of these lenses can be reduced to the same terms.

The Terms:

Every human desires to make the most of their life.

[JonathanClement140]

You don't experience joy and peace now. You are miserable. You think your life is worthless, you hate your fellow man, and they in turn hate you back, and you know deep down that your God isn't going to bail you out because he doesn't exist.

[0099wrestler]

@ACGrizzle I am not content nor all that happy with my life, but for the cause of God I endure. Not all people are the same. Sometimes I even wonder if when I die if I will be happy and rewarded, but I endure on this promise: Matthew 10:22

[JonathanClement140]

Yes, you're "happy" because people are getting killed. You're "happy" that people are supposedly going to suffer for all eternity. You're happy because of oppression. Fuck it. From this day forward, I refuse to debate with Christians anymore. It's nothing but a waste of my God damned time.

[JonathanClement140]

BA001, I hope you suffer and burn in hell for all eternity. How does that make you feel?

[0099wrestler]

@bornagain001 Jesus was not crucified, Simon of Cyrene was made the look alike, transformed like Jesus could change water to wine, and then Jesus changed to look like Simon, and escaped. A few days later he appeared making it look like he rose from the dead. The Qur'an hints at this transformation. All Religions are of God. God tests us.

[ACGrizzle]

I find it helpful for my understanding of christianity to view jesus not as an actual person, but perhaps maybe as a philosophy or life path personified.

[bornagain001]

If Jesus was NOT an actual person...then NO ONE has died for our SIN. No one has risen from the dead. The BILLIONS of Christians who now fellowship with Christ on a daily basis can now start living like you do.....a life ending with NO HOPE!

[JonathanClement140]

That's right! So, face reality. Stop deluding yourself into thinking you have all the answers. You need to stop thinking that being imperfect makes you worthy of eternal torture. That is why you cannot bear to leave Christianity.

[0099wrestler]

@bornagain001 Hope is in the mind of the beholder. You have blocked out hope by your own narrow mindedness. No one need die for your sins. The Qur'an says repent, and obey the law, and you are forgiven, the same as Isaiah 1:18. Paul said he lied, Romans 3:7, so Jesus dying for your sins is a lie.

[bornagain001]

@0099wrestler" The Qur'an says repent, and obey the law, and you are forgiven"

So my question gto you is...Have YOUbroken the Law even ONCE. And if you have..what is the eternal penalty for breaking that law. You see...Christ alone has paid for our sins. There is no pnetance that you can pay or do that will satisfy God because of the sin nature you possess. Everyday you display anger, contempt, selfishness...all sins for which you can not forgive yourself. It has to come from Christ.

[ACGrizzle]

Who is right? The only god there is on the left or the only god there is on the right?

[johnnythesailorman]

@bornagain001 so then jesus christ has pardoned you for all the women you got away with raping. you don't even have find them and ask for their forgiveness? whats that you don't remeber their names? well why don't you ask the holy spirit to give you their names and addresses so you can end their nightmares.

[beccarayify]

wonderful video!

[bornagain001]

When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. And you know the way to where I am going. No, we dont know, Lord, Thomas said. We have no idea where you are going, so how can we know the way? Jesus told him, I am THE WAY, THE TRUTH, and THE LIFE. NO ONE can come to the Father except through me.

John 14:3-7

Pretty damning claim against all of Satan's FALSE RELIGIONS.

[0099wrestler]

@bornagain001 Jesus taught in parables, so His way, the truth, and the life, means to do what the Qur'an says, and to do what the Old Testament says, be children of Abraham. But Paul added a lie, Romans 3:7, and you accepted his lie, and took the parables literally. You are as Jesus said: ever seeing but never perceiving.

It is up to us to mke it happen! It is already in motion!

[bambam195]

thx

[bornagain001]

"I am THE WAY, THE TRUTH and THE LIFE. NO MAN comes unto the Father except by me."

Jesus did not say He was one of many ways. Jesus said He was THE ONLY WAY. DO NOT let Satan confuse you.

[pinabarryscott]

@bornagain001

Thy unity is inscrutable, O my God, to all except them that have recognized Him Who is the Manifestation of Thy singleness and the Day-Spring of Thy oneness. Whoso assigneth a rival unto Him hath assigned a rival unto Thee, and whoso hath set up a peer for Him hath set up a peer for Thyself. No, no, none can withstand Thee in the whole of creation. Thou hast everlastingly been exalted far above all comparison and likeness.

[CaMaster]

@bornagain001

Jesus also frequently disobeyed the laws of supposed god that he was brought here by. Don't let ONE VERSE confuse you.

[brilliant1990]

@bornagain001, Satan is ego, hell in when you far away from God, Heaven is nearness to God. There for are you Satan? Are you confusing people?

[bornagain001]

"Satan is ego, hell in when you far away from God"

Perhaps you can explain Luke 16:19-31 to me.

[SERVANTofYHVH]

Strange how the holy Prophets of old foresaw the religions of the world being unified... United under the Anti-Christ.

Christianity will never bow it knee to the false gods of the worlds' religions. And all those who do will die at the sword of Jesus Christ.

[brilliant1990]

@SERVANTofYHVH, the best way to recognize a religion, is bye it's attributes.

[freedeb2001]

All great faiths say to look within for the truth....and to keep the violence of negative thinking out of the equation...to do unto others as we would have others do unto us.....thankyou

No religion is dangerous poison. Nice vid and music but not reality. Stop this shit. Think big. The cosmos. Do you even know what that means, not showing pretty images of this tiny planet. Peace yes, BUT NOT THROUGH SUPERSTITION: there are no gods. And we do not need them. We need to talk to each other. The history of faith is murder and hate. Think about it!

[petewrightrecords]

only religious unity can bring global harmony

[CaMaster]

This statement contradicts what many religions teach. It's a nice message yes, but according to many of the Abrahamic religions(the ones i know most about) this would be an opposing statement.

[niholo]

It depends what you mean by "religious unity".

[CaMaster]

Pretending we're not supposed to kill the infidel/blasphemer/lawbreakere­ctect and accepting each others differences..

[pinabarryscott]

@CaMaster It is already happening!

1 of 2) We desire but the good of the world and happiness of the nations.... That all nations should become one in faith and all men as brothers; that the bonds of affection and unity between the sons of men should be strengthened; that diversity of religion should cease, and differences of race be annulled... Yet so it shall be; these fruitless strifes, these ruinous wars shall pass away, and the "Most Great Peace" shall come....

[pinabarryscott]

@CaMaster Not only it will happen but It is already happening my friend!

2 of 2) These strifes and this bloodshed and discord must cease, and all men be as one kindred and one family.... Let not a man glory in this, that he loves his country; let him rather glory in this, that he loves his kind.... (words spoken by Baha'u'llah to Prof. E.G. Browne of Cambridge University in 1890)

[CaMaster]

Well, while I'm a non-believer, I do appreciate the message. Though again in my defense I would say that a persons spirituality is greater than their religious righteousness. For to be religiously righteous, requires intolerance to even the most minuscule and unimportant differences. Belief in a god does not necessitate a religion. Again, peace and love all around my friend and may your dream of love and tolerance come true.

[bornagain001]

@CaMaster Again, peace and love all around my friend and may your dream of love and tolerance come true.

I can assure you, IT WILL NOT...until Christ returns to reign.

[CaMaster]

Obvious troll is obvious.

[NormanMac]

But what if He has ,though undetected by the generality of Mankind ?

[DivineFellowship]

@petewrightrecords -- No, only stopping the banker led communist "New World Order," centered in Israel in the form of Zionist power, plus renouncing lust and seeking the God within, can bring global harmony. And people don't want "global harmony" as much as they want personal harmony. Nobody wants a false, imposed "harmony" or sameness. But that's what the globalist "New World Order" bankers want. Baha'is are their fool-tools.

[kennydelmar]

@DivineFellowship Not trying to get into a debate here, but how does describing Baha'is as "tool-fools" of "banker[s]" fit with the explicit charge to abolish extremes of wealth and poverty?

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with the Faith.

[DivineFellowship]

The world is supposed to be a vast school with many types of people, cultures, and religions. That way all souls, of all types, at all levels of development -- can find their path to God. You don't preserve the peoples by mixing them together. The world was in harmony a very long time with the existence of a multiplicity of religions. Better many religions that lead people to God-within than "one religion" that's materialistic and "world" oriented, which destroys the ancient paths.
