Tree of Life

[fsmtdaler]

"The essence of belief in Divine Unity consisteth in regarding Him Who is the Manifestation of God and Him Who is the invisible, the inaccessable, the unknowable Essence as One and the same... How high the reward of him that hath not deprived himself of so great a bounty, nor failed to recognize the beauty of his Best-Beloved in this, His new attire." Baha'u'llah

[followjesusonly1]

For behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave neither root nor branch. For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed; neither hid that shall not be known. Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light. He's coming on the cloud, and every eye shall see Him, even those who pierced Him.The Word.

[antoni999]

I want ot start a new religion, anyone wants to join? we are fade up of new religions...

[thegreatcheesedemon]

This video is here to educate. Please explain why you think that it has nothing to do with the spirit of god and tree of life.

[Karimsatta]

This was to show the entire family of Humanity than it is the fate and goal of each one of Us to bring forth Heaven on Earth, by the blooming of the seeds of our true divine Selves within. The second coming of Christ is nothing less than the global awakening of mankind from self bondage...let there be Light!...

[Karimsatta]

Christ is the Energy that is behind everything that Is. We call it Christ, and also the Son of God. Through His spiritual achievement, Jesus, the son of man was capable to open the gates of Heaven in order to allow this Energy to incarnate on Earth, through his physical body.

[mouhdie]

Baha'i has nothing to do with the spirit of God and the tree of life. Are you trying to push Baha'i fiath on us. ....

[chowpappy]

All this talk about truth and the video is ignoring so much 'real' truth. --one being that 'religion' is one of the most vicious monsters ever set loose on mankind. damn near every atrocity happening, from mideast wars to physicians getting their brains blown out is the result of 'religion'. religion only unites the religious--everyone else is their enemy. -turn or burn- so when some bullsh*t prophet starts talking smack, ask yourself "Is this the truth?"

[bigboy45454545]

Number five is incorrect. The laws of science don't substantiate any religion. Science actually discredits all religion. Therefore # 5 is a false statement.

I think that's funny, when this man is talking about truth. Don't you?

[adamjacob9]

"bigboy",

How does science discredit all religion? The word religion means "to bind together", so how does known science discredit true religion? Can you clarify what you are talking about?

[bigboy45454545]

Hey adam

Science is the systematic acquisition and application of knowledge about the structure and behavior of the physical universe gained via empirical evidence through observation, measurement and experimentation. Science does not enlist faith.

The man speaking is ignorant of what science really is. This makes his statement #5 "True Science and true Religion must correspond"......incorrect.

Science has no evidence for any God.

Science disproves God's existence, because of evidence.

[adamjacob9]

bigboy,

You only assume the 5th principle must be incorrect because of your own prejudiced definition of religion. Is not gravity proven scientifically, even though it is an invisible force in the universe?

And again, the word "faith" seems to have some definite implications for you, which are probably not in line with Baha'i understanding.

The Bible defines faith as "evidence of things not seen".

[chodaboy51500]

Gravity was never proven, nor did it ever require proof as it is an observable measurable phenomenon. I think you are confusing gravity with the Theory of Gravity which is a man made mathematical construct to explain how gravity acts, which did require proof.

If you can not observe a phenomenon then you can not have a scientific explanation of it, therefor it will always be outside the realm of science and reality.

[utw888]

As far as I am aware science does not prove or disprove the existence of God. And absence of proof is not proof of absence.

[WuWeiWannabe]

As a true scientist, one should inspect the whole spectrum of experience, the circuitry of faith included.

In my mind, to dismiss faith is to not understand it. To not understand it is to know nothing about it.

The question to me is, what is movement, and where is it all going. Science have it's method of prophecy, and religion have theirs.

One should not underestimate the power of mystical revelation.

Wisdom comes from the synthesis of EVERYTHING.

[elguerreromuisca]

again, you are wrong, you look at some of ainsteins writings....

[rhinofarley]

Everything you said is right up until the end on something - and I'm not religious, but science does not disprove the existence of a god. It just doesn't support the existance but doesn't discredit it. Thats why science and religion do not go together.

Its like finding a dead body with poison in it. Just because there is poison is in it does not mean that it was put there by accident or if the person was murdered. It just shows that the person died because of poison.

[awakened1]

Science based only in Materiality is Dogma in itself and will run head on into a brick wall, then will be forced to come up with a reason, cause and effect and go from there. Unless Science and modern organized Religion both step out from their dogmas and ignorance of true Spirit , the majority of humanity will continue to wonder why the problems we all face never seem to be solved... regardless of how relevant this video is or is not

[elguerreromuisca]

well, thats not true, in kabballah, there its smethin called ayin and ain sof, which its how the universe bagan, and its compared to the big bang...

[koberask]

@bigboy45454545 I used o be like you...then I looked at the science and saw that it proved the one true religion. This religion has no name and manifests in all aspects of life. The labels mean nothing. All religions are of one kind, all science, all thought, everything!! is of this one truth. Seek for it and I have no doubt at all you will join me on the same one path. As a matter of fact, you are ON THIS PATH NOW! Everyone is! All is true, look at it and you will see.

[bigboy45454545]

What a load........He talks a lot........But no 'real' words are coming out. #5 Science with never agree with religion........They are completely apposed. So good luck with that.

And Jesus called. He has a headache, and he's not coming. You better block me? I'm having too much fun with this ignorant crappola.

[jeffmichaud999]

Block you? Why bother? Your own statements show in high relief how entirely veiled from reality you are. At least you actually watched this video, although you apparently still haven't gleaned that we're not Christians (as you ASSume), and that we're not among the sheeple waiting for him to float down out of the sky. Only the fool hearted would believe science and religion are opposed. God created both science and religion so they have the same foundation. It is the fool hearted who are confused

[utw888]

Surely it is man that created both science & religion.

[iamyourholiness]

It took a year to receive the answers & to understand, but it is done. Thank you for your patience & kindness brother

[josephmorfin]

The main thing that separates the true Aryan from the true Jew, is strength. The Jew surrenders because he is weak, and does not have the will to fight for his own survival against the cruelty of nature. Wherefore the doctrine of the Jew creates a subordinate race of people who are blind and cannot see the truth, for they involve themselves in making a lie true, ignorant people indeed.

[Sealed14X]

Didn't the Aryan's lose the second world war? Funny though because don't the Isrelights have their own nation now? (God Bless Israel, I Love Israel and Jerelsum!) It works like this, anything based on false doctrine will fall. It is true that Israel is Spirtualy Blind, but that is for your sake so that the Gentiles may seek the one true God. Once their blindness is lifted, the face of God shall be revealed! And Revelation shall be passed!

[josephmorfin]

LOL, I Prove My Point

[Sealed14X]

Yeshua is the Christ, the only Christ, and the only Way, Truth and Life. No one come to Adoni without first accepting Yeshua (Jesus).

Don't you know that the Voice of God will declare Yeshua as True and Last in the Line of David on his return?

Yeshua died for your sins. As Noah went through the flood for 40 days and nights, so to shall every one (Believers too) for 7 years Tribulation. Like the Holocaust but worse.

Eyes open, we know not when Jesus Returns.

Keep the Torah root of Yeshua.

[jeffmichaud999]

sorry, but nothing you're claiming here is in line with any scripture. Jesus is not the "last in line of David". He was never on the throne in the first place,for as he was hanging on the cross the actual heir, Liunan son of Babatun, was sitting upon the throne in exile. This lineage has survived until today as God promised David it would in Psalms 89, an the actual heir is alive and well as the Guardian of the Bahai Faith. Jesus was never an heir in the 1st place.

[Sealed14X]

Why the is it that you have broken from your individuality.

A man con not have two kings, he will love one and hate the other. God does not change, nor will he be mocked. The God of Israel would never say somthing like "Come let us worship nature and Buddah, and all the like for they are all good." (Yet you say this in your false doctrine) No the is only One True God, uncompromising, unyealding, and unchanging. Worship only the LORD, seak HIS statutes. Life and Death are put before you!

[adamjacob9]

14X,

Baha'is do not "worship nature and Buddah". Where did you receive your information from? We believe in the One True Invisible God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Jesus & Baha'u'llah, NOT any of the Messengers Whom God has sent.

[Sealed14X]

Was not all the data concerning the Davadic blood line lost? Atso my major tripping poit comes at 7:30 in the video when instructed to accept all 9 teachers, OR I reject them all.... You can't stop the coming war, although I wish it could be done. The 3rd Jewish temple IS the rejection of Yeshua, and it is done by the Tribe of Dan (sin of Golden Calf), and will bring 3 + 1/2 years of torment to all of man kind. Please explain the 9 teachers, Thank you! (I don't think Jesus ever tought this.)

[LarkaSojourn]

Truth!

[FreeAllPeople]

Do you have a problem with the fact that The One has chosen to send Messengers that happen to be male? No, I have a problem with the female messengers being discounted by men as whores and crazies. Do you have a problem with men? No, I have a problem with men claiming sole rights to The Divine and manipulating religion to control and subjugate women. I have a problem with men systematically removing power from women to dominate and control some thing they are incapable of, creating life.

[adamjacob9]

FreeAll,

In that case, you should direct this energy to somewhere where these problems are existent.

Why are you choosing to post these comments on this Tree of Life video?

One of the fruits of the Tree as it is presented here is the Equality of Men & Women.

Do you have a problem with the Equality of Men & Women or with any of the other 12 principles of the Baha'i Faith? If so, please elaborate. If not, thanks for your opinion & take care.

[FreeAllPeople]

This seems to be a rehearsed attack on your part, & it is inappropriate in this setting, as nobody here is exalting the "male over the female". You seem to have a fixation on this which you are projecting.

I'm sorry you see it that way. Every abrahamic religious text exalts males over females therefore so do the religions. Why is it that god only speaks to men (except for mary)? Why did god have a son? Why were the apostles all men? Why is it only men who have positions of religious authority?

[adamjacob9]

FreeAll,

When you say "every abrahamic religious text" are you aware that you are including the writings & teachings of Adam, Moses, Buddha, Krishna, Zoroaster, Jesus, Muhammad, The Bab & Baha'u'llah?

God never had a physical "son". The title "Son of God" is spiritual. Jesus was a man. Jesus had female disciples. Some of apostles may have been women.

In the Baha'i Faith, ALL people are teachers & equals on the plane of servitude. No clergy.

[FreeAllPeople]

Any word ascribed to God falls short, but we need to use language & examples from our realm of understanding to express abstract concepts. "He" or "She", whatever. The point is that there is One True Invisible Source that has a Personal Reality & a Will.

Yes our language falls pathetically short but it is the language that we use that gives our abstract concepts meaning. To use god to describe such Divinity keeps women from accessing that Divinity in a deeply relateable

way.

[adamjacob9]

FreeAll,

The word "God" does not need to carry the baggage that you want it to. When I say "God" I mean the Infinite Invisible Creative Source of all that is. God has no physical body or form, & therefore no reproductive organs.

"God" is not the actual Name of the Creator, but only describes what God is; The Creator.

The Messengers are NOT gods. The Prophets & Prophetesses are NOT gods & goddesses.

There is only One Cause & One Source of Being, transcendent above gender.

[FreeAllPeople]

So when you say "The One which They" are from, Who or What is "The One" you refer to? The Divine that you call god. Does this "One" have any gender at all? No it is both and all. Don't you see how absurd this is? No actually I don't. I see it as absurd to try and use single gender based language to describe something that has all genders and none of them. To use god or goddess without the other is to assert it is desirable to be one over the other or that one is more blessed or divine by nature.

[FreeAllPeople]

"One True INVISIBLE God". I have no problem if you choose to address the One Source as "She".

To give The One any gender is at the exclusion of the other. This reinforces a subconscious one sex is better than the other way of being.

[adamjacob9]

FreeAll,

Great! Then feel free not to do it. That's the great thing about your freedom of religion & speech.

One of the fruits of the Tree of Life is the Equality of Men & Women.

Do you have a problem with the fact that The One has chosen to send Messengers that happen to be male? Do you have a problem with men?

[FreeAllPeople]

People who don't understand the history of the abrahamic religions and follow blindly are the biggest problem facing our spirituality today. Ignorance of the fact that there were and are other Gods and Goddesses and the it is The One which They (the Goddesses and Gods) and Us (all humans) are all from.

[adamjacob9]

FreeAll,

So when you say "The One which They" are from, Who or What is "The One" you refer to? Does this "One" have any gender at all? Don't you see how absurd this is? Any word ascribed to God falls short, but we need to use language & examples from our realm of understanding to express abstract concepts. "He" or "She", whatever. The point is that there is One True Invisible Source that has a Personal Reality & a Will.

[FreeAllPeople]

To exalt the male over the female is to deny women the power of creation they have and claim that only men are created in god's image. Hence the reason there are cleansing rituals for menstruating women, shaming and killing of adulterous women and not men, women as property of men and many other tactics the bible, torah, and koran use to subjugate women despite what is said to the contrary. The jews systematically wiped the Goddess religions off the planet using rape, torture and murder.

[adamjacob9]

FreeAll,

This seems to be a rehearsed attack on your part, & it is inappropriate in this setting, as nobody here is exalting the "male over the female". You seem to have a fixation on this which you are projecting.

[FreeAllPeople]

Why? Because your god is a method to control women and procreation. If you wish to know more read the book when god was a woman by Merlin Stone. As for written accounts, they have been expunged from history (his story) as though never to have existed. Once men realized that pregnancy was not divinely created they removed all power from women by force. Rape and murder was common as the jews moved from place to place instituting their philosophy on the "heathen" pagan world.

[FreeAllPeople]

The Tree of Life was worshiped by all pagan religions. To give you an example the Tree of Knowledge spoken of in Genesis and the serpent are symbols from the Goddess based religions. It was these symbols along with the fall of woman that was used by the first jews to conquer and distort the Goddess religions by force. Just as the story of Jesus was a creation story from many other polytheistic religions. If you believe in one indivisible god then why give it a male only title?

[adamjacob9]

FreeAll,

"One True INVISIBLE God". I have no problem if you choose to address the One Source as "She".

[FreeAllPeople]

Actually the symbol of the Tree of Life is from the GODDESS religions that predate the God religions by about 10,000 years. The tree is Her symbol because She is the fruit bearer. Stop claiming that God is the one true power and ruler. The One is was and always will be. The One is both the Goddess and the God. To elevate God to The One is to deny Goddess and elevate the male above the female. Your god is but a sliver of The One. And he is only a part of my God. You monotheists just don't get it.

[adamjacob9]

FreeAllPeople,

First, please provide sources to back up you assertion that the symbol of the Tree of Life is from a goddess religion.

Second, we believe in the One True Invisible God, Who has no physical body, but is an Infinite, Invisible Essence.

God has always sent Messengers, Who symbolize the male aspect, as they come in a physical body (Adam). The Holy Spirit that is reflected by the Messengers is the female aspect (Eve).

[FreeAllPeople]

The symbol of the Tree of Life is actually from the GODDESS religions that pre-existed the God religions by about 10,000 years. The tree and it's fruit are a symbol of Her greatness as She is the fruit bearer. Stop claiming that God is the one true power and ruler. The One is was and shall be everlasting, Her and Him are The One. The One is the balance of them BOTH. To call The One God is to deny the power of the Goddess and elevate the male above the female. You monotheists just don't get it.

[xterrorizinboys88]

i liked this video very much, but had a question about when he says around 8:00-8:08 that if we except once religion, that we truly except them all? Im sorry i dont fully understand the 12 fruits concept that he was discussing at first, but what religions have that concept? all? thanks for the help

[courteousninja]

OMG i came to be enlightened and found that the religious people are alot meaner and spiteful than the non religious...hmm...

[genraldisarray]

courteousninja, isn't there in fact spite in your very comment?

So, who exactly could be considered "non religious"? I ask because the word religious comes from the Latin religio which means "to bind together". In your enlightened state you must have observed that we're already all "bound together" in various ways right? Every man is a leaf from the same tree, a drop from the same ocean, etc, bound together right? So why the high regard for the apathetic, and none for the passionate among us?

[keytoothed]

As go through the Jungian process of dream analysis, I had a dream in which I ate of the actual tree (not the fruit) and drank from crystal-clear water that was coming out it. It is very interesting that you said "not eating the fruit of the tree but the actual tree," because this is what happened in my dream.

[Juliejulez]

Stop Judging! Be Peaceful and Glorify what You believe is to be true! These comments are nothing but debates among you all. These debates has already spoiled your minds and made you forget what this video was saying all along. If you're not going to take something out of this video, don't watch others until you realize within you what you are SEARCHING for.

[genraldisarray]

ditto :)

[mythrander1971]

All I that is definite and can be seen over and over again throughout history is that Man screws things up. None of us were there at the beginning, none of us were there when Moses, King David or Jesus lived, so none of us know exactly what was said or what exactly happened. There are basic truths a good majority of all humans can agree on, Killing is wrong, etc. God is Life, God is Love. Leave it at that and share with other how you were changed by God and they may see the Light also.

[copacetic5]

Jesus Christ is COMING SOON and Baha'is must REPENT of their blasphemy and false teachings.

The reason we can be very sure that Jesus hasn't come yet is that biblical prophecies are unfolding before our eyes. The things that Jesus predicted would happen are happening now, but there are still more things to come. So Jesus couldn't be here yet, according to the Bible. Plus it says when He comes every eye will see Him returning to the Earth the way He left it - Acts 1:9-12

[adamjacob9]

copacetic/richbee,

Acts doesn't say 'every eye shall see him', that's Revelation. And He HAS returned to Earth the same way he left it.

He left it being condemned by the authorities, persecuted, imprisoned & rejected by the people. Baha'u'llah has come in the same way, condemned, persecuted, imprisoned & rejected by the people.

Jesus said that he came from heaven. Baha'u'llah has come from the same heaven.

Read the Kitab-i-Iqan (Book of Certitude) for a full explanation.

[genraldisarray]

Hi meaculpa, or should I say Richbee2? You were so clever to create a new user name so you could start trolling this channel again. You almost had me fooled that you were a brand new proselytizing fanatical intolerant evangelist, but then you didn't bring any new material. You said all this under your old username. Yawn.

[meaculpa9r]

Baha'i is anti-Bibical and anti-Gospel and they deny the core doctrines that Christians hold as Holy.

Exalted to the right hand of God, he [Jesus] has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.

Acts 2

[meaculpa9r]

Neal Chase is a false teacher from Satan!

The second coming of Christ also can not refer to Baha'u'llah. Scripture indicates that the very same Jesus who ascended into heaven will one day personally return (Acts 1:9-11). The Bible also prophesies several dramatic and highly visible signs that will accompany the Second Coming (Matthew 24:29). None of these signs were present when Baha'u'llah arrived on the scene!!!

[meaculpa9r]

1 Timothy 4:1 "The Spirit [The Holy Spirit] clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons."

[genraldisarray]

Hi meaculpa, or should I say Richbee2? You are so clever to create a new user name so you could start trolling this channel again. You almost had me fooled that you were a brand new proselytizing fanatical intolerant evangelist, but then you didn't bring any new material. You said all this under your old username. Yawn.

[meaculpa9r]

Acts 5, the Jewish leaders had no body and never questioned that Peter and John were telling the truth, they just wanted them to shut up and go away!

[adamjacob9]

Richbee2,

I never said that the Jewish leaders moved the body. It was his disciples.

I'm off to bed. If I find that you've spammed all of my videos in the morning, you're outta here, & every one of your past comments WILL be deleted & your spamming WILL be reported. Good night.

[meaculpa9r]

Now, consider, the New Testament critic, D.H. van Daalen, who points out,

"It is extremely difficult to object to the empty tomb on historical grounds; those who deny it do so on the basis of theological or philosophical assumptions."

[meaculpa9r]

As Norman Geisler put it:

It is one thing to claim deity and quite another to have the credentials to support that claim. Christ did both. He offered three unique and miraculous facts as evidence of his claim: the fulfillment of prophecy, a uniquely miraculous life, and the resurrection from the dead. All of these are historically provable and unique to Jesus of Nazareth. We argue, therefore, that Jesus alone claims to be and proves to be God.

[adamjacob9]

meaculpa,

Please support your "historically provable" sources for a physical resurrection.

[meaculpa9r]

The tomb is empty!

The apostle Paul once asked King Agrippa, "Why should any of you consider it incredible that God raises the dead?" - Acts 26:8

Judah Etinger, Historian: Throughout the early decades of Christianity, it seems the physical vacancy of the tomb was not in doubt by anyone.

[adamjacob9]

meaculpa,

Wow! What amazing historical references. By golly, you've got concrete proof there.

Are you kidding? The tomb WAS empty after they moved the body, as attested by the Gospel of Peter.

[meaculpa9r]

ah, your Neo-gnostic "roots" are showing!

Revelation 22 speaks of Jesus Christ, and it has noting to do with Kabbalah or Krishna or Buudha!

[adamjacob9]

meaculpRICH,

So you've actually started watching the videos, huh? Good for you.

The original teachings of the Kabbalah come to us from Abraham in the form of the Tree of Life. Krishna & Buddha are descendants of Abraham through Keturah, & as such, they are part of the fulfillment of God's covenant with Abraham that through him all nations would be blessed. What do you have against Krishna & Buddha?

[genraldisarray]

Rich, we've answered to your comments, so why re-ask them & accuse us of being "afraid of the truth"? You pitifully rely on Proof by Assertion. You're obviously intolerant of views that diverge from your own, but why the daily barrage of posts?

This teaching effort of yours is a very curious approach; righteous indignation mixed w/ belittling insults & condemnation. Do you get extra points for all the heretics you chastise daily? I bet you're making Jesus real proud. Keep up the good work.

[genraldisarray]

Rich, this teaching effort of yours is a very curious approach; righteous indignation mixed with belittling insults and condemnation. Did you learn these things in the Bible too? Do you get extra brownie points for all the heretics you chastise daily? I bet you're making Jesus real proud. Keep up the good work.

[genraldisarray]

Rich, you keep spamming this channel w/ endless rhetoric, but can't answer direct ???'s If Jesus is in fact God incarnate, why would he say "I am ascending to my father to your father; to MY GOD to your God." (Jn20:17)? How is God Jesus' God if Jesus himself is God?

"No man has seen God at any time".

"The father is greater than I".

"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus".

Please reconcile this dichotomy between your ideas and these explicit verses.

[chilidoggingfool]

yo you just wasted 10 minutes of my life son

[damntheman19]

you're welcome

[skycladwow]

??? is god a man??? feels more female to me. and omg!!! yuk at your description of trees.

[genraldisarray]

Hello skyclad; no God wouldn't be a man or a women as both are creations of the Creator. Likewise naturally God would be endowed with attributes of both male and female.

I'm not sure what Richbee means by his comments (I usually don't), but I assume he's trying to force his idea that Jesus is God into the conversation; this is something the Baha'is reject entirely as Jesus had the same God we all do: "I am ascending to my God, to your God".

[adamjacob9]

Rich,

Did you really just refer to the concept of a physical resurrection as "historical fact"? Are you kidding?

The false interpretation of the clergy doesn't equal "historical fact" last time I checked.

If you are to take the various accounts of resurrection literally, you will find they all contradict each other, showing that none of them are literally accurate. Fortunately, they are NOT literal, but metaphoric & parabolic in nature regarding the spiritual concept of resurrection.

[adamjacob9]

Richbee,

Jesus Christ never said that all men are "deserving of Hell", nor does the Bible say that Jesus Christ is the only son of God.

The scriptures do say that Jesus is the "only BEGOTTEN Son", which by meaning is "unique".

And according to the scriptures, Jesus didn't become the "only begotten" until he was 30 years old at the time of his baptism.

Jesus prophesied of Muhammad & Baha'u'llah by name in his native Galilean Aramaic.

Do you accept Moses & Jesus? Progressive Revelation.

[adamjacob9]

Richbee,

The one seated upon the throne is the "Father", would you agree?

Read Ezekiel 1:26-28, where the one seated on the throne is clearly referred to as "the glory of God", & that it is indeed a human Personage that has feet, loins, head, mouth etc...

[adamjacob9]

Richbee,

Yes it does:

"and I will write upon him my new name" Rev. 3:12

This "new name" is the "inherited name" Hebrews 1:4 which comes to him from the Everlasting Father, Baha'u'llah.

[adamjacob9]

Richbee,

I DO confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, which the Bible declares can ONLY be said through the Holy Spirit.

As I acknowledge Jesus, how can you claim I am a false teacher?

when you say 'He' will sit on the throne, don't you mean us One? and isnt that "throne" on the 'new earth'?

[usdnbrep]

Thank you very much for sharing this

[bemorecarefull]

Great Video. As a spiritualist i worship the tree of life, some people say there are keys that hang from the tree and not fruit. I dont believe in ANY god but i believe there is one out there and that religions are a language to love god. This does worry me slightly, will this affect me do you think when the time of judgement arrives???

[a13sken]

religious propaganda...

[adamjacob9]

a13sken,

This information is definitely aimed at making change in the world, & is there anything wrong with that?

Did you find the information to be true, or do you have some specific problem with it?

What do you even mean by your comment; please elaborate.

[a13sken]

I don't know if this is true or not, but obviously it doesn't seem concrete. We can't go to the market and buy some fruits of "The Tree", therefor attain a new level of existence. This is a brainwashing video with only one purpose: influence the people to act different, in a better way

[adamjacob9]

a13,

The purpose of this video is Education, not "brainwashing". The 2nd principle (fruit) is the Independent Investigation of Truth, which requires the intellect & freedom of choice.

While I would personally hope that whether people see this video or not, they would choose to behave "in a better way", whatever that means to themselves, the purpose of this video is only to stimulate thought & encourage people to use their OWN intellect, & never to accept anything blindly without full inquiry.

[adamjacob9]

a13,

I of course accept that you may not believe this explanation to be true. However, may I ask if there are any of the 12 principles of the Baha'i Faith you disagree with, & why?

What is the cause & purpose of your somewhat negative comments?

Please understand, I'm not offended, just curious. Thanks.

I don't disagree or agree with any of the principles because I don't see a good reason why I should. I don't win or lose anything if I agree or disagree that's the reason why I choose not to give away more time and interest to this subject. Sorry if I offended you, I simply posted my personal opinion. Good luck.

United Nations NWO propaganda

[adamjacob9]

iamyour,

Care to elaborate? The Baha'i Faith isn't pro UN, as the UN is the prophesied Beast of Revelation. The Baha'i Faith is pro Justice. The Bible is only in support of 1 world order, which is the Kingdom (Davidic) of God.

This is quite opposite the world order scheme of the likes of Bush.

The Kingdom is a democracy.

[iamyourholiness]

#8- spiritual world government: 1- there already is a spiritual world government, but its not there for our benefit nor interest but their own. govern mente = govern mind. We need not a system of control but rather a liberation of our Spirits.

[adamjacob9]

iamyour,

What the "NWO" folks are promoting is not "spiritual" in the least bit. It is the antithesis of Baha'u'llah's Plan.

[iamyourholiness]

#9- Universal Compulsory Education- The 'Universal Curriculum' is based on the NWO's Baileys Luciferian Doctrine. It is just a different program that contains words like 'love' which by their usage means 'submit.'

[jeffmichaud999]

you keep going back to debunking the United Nations, as if we're promoting them. We absolutely agree with you; the UN is a fraudulent imitation excising a double standard. That system will never work so long as there's a Security Council with the power to veto and overrule the majority. We agree, you don't have to convince us.

Baha'u'llah's Universal House of Justice makes no attempt to organize thoughts; i.e. the spiritual. Those are between the individual and God. It's functions are secular.

[potman22]

I agree with iamyourholiness. These 12 principles sound like the blueprint for NWO with "New Age" catch phrases instead. The first thing NWO want is a one world religion, because then it's easy to corrupt it and control people with it, just like they have done with ALL of the other current religions. The minute your "organize" religion, is the minute you corrupt it. Be careful not to fall into these traps...

Everyone should be free to commune with God in their own personal way.

Peace

[adamjacob9]

potman22,

You're absolutely correct! The Baha'i Faith is not an organized religion. However, spiritual people can & should organize to effect change. Do you disagree with any of these Baha'i principles? I understand having questions when it comes to a form of government, but it is abundantly clear that there is a need for International Justice of some kind, otherwise the "powerful" nations will continue to exercise unchecked force & violence, which is tyrannical.

[BoyintheMachine]

I think you are thinking too deeply.

[adamjacob9]

Boyinthe,

Can you elaborate? What constitutes "thinking too deeply"?

[strict9mind]

it all sounded great until you got #12...skeptical at this point at best

[jeffmichaud999]

Do you mean the 12th Principal? This concept does not originate with the Baha'is, rather the Old Testament prophet Isaiah 1st mentions this as God intent for man; "the house of the LORD shall be established...and all the nations shall flow to it [World Government that's spiritual]...For out of Zion [place of David's throne] shall go forth the law" (Isaiah 2). He further states the throne of David is "an ensign to peoples"(11). uhj dot net has lots more on this.

[adamjacob9]

strict9,

Skepticism is a good thing, as there must always be room for the negative in independent investigation of the truth (1st principle). I would encourage you to study in more depth the origins in prophecy such as Jeff has recommended at uhj dot net and bupc dot org. The purpose for the descendant of King David being the president of the UHJ is to distinguish God's Plan & government from all fakes, frauds & imitations (such as the NWO of Bush & the UN)

[adamjacob9]

goodfella,

The current state of affairs throughout the world is indeed sad. But God has a Plan! Did you know that the 2nd Christ has come? His name is Baha'u'llah, Prince of Peace seated upon the throne of King David, who has brought God's Plan for the Kingdom of God on earth. bupc dot org. "It is not his to boast who loveth his country, but it is his who loveth the world."

[adamjacob9]

goodfella,

It is quite sad. The good news is that God has a Plan! bupc dot org and uhj dot net.

[adamjacob9]

Mixail,

I enjoy this video as well. For more information of this nature, check out bupc dot org & uhj dot net.

The king is unseen which does not make men kings..

And every human being is a seed and has the knowledge within.

Quotes.

Buddha

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

Buddha

Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.

Bahá'u'lláh O Thou kind Lord! Thou has created all humanity from the same stock. Thou hast decreed that all shall belong to the same household.

[jeffmichaud999]

TNR, ideas like every "human has the knowledge inside" shroud within them the idea that religions are for the spiritually feeble; for what do we need an outward religion when the answers are within? Baha'u'llah said this indeed, and also volumes about organizing humanity under a one world government with a descendant of David at it's head, and much more. He agrees that you can't teach or organize spirituality; but stops short of your obvious opposition to religion.

[jeffmichaud999]

TNR, I could be reading you wrong, so please forgive me if I have, but your comments and esp. your questions have a subtle way of giving off an heir of superiority, while not outwardly opposing anything specific. Do you have any comments about the content of these videos? See, you make statements and ask questions as if you disagree with something we stand for, yet never do it outright. We don't actually disagree with you on anything, so what's your deal with these comments?

[SchattenKreuz]

The same davidic king who said that sacrifing new born child and virgins? Hello, ever heard of Molech at the Bohemian Grove?

The Jews believe in guilt, the catholics believe in forgiveness. One world goverment to me..hello anti-christ. Do you believe the anti-christ is a single man and not a whole race of people? Or even the human race as a whole?

[adamjacob9]

schatt,

The Bible is only in support of one World Order, & that is the Kingdom of God on earth, which the Bible says is recognized by the throne & lineage of King David as its executive branch. Watch my video "Christ & Antichrist" for what the Bible says about antichrist. Most people have a non-Biblical understanding about that concept.

[adamjacob9]

schatt,

The Baha'i Faith and the Davidic Kingship have nothing to do with Molech & the Bohemian Grove. The Bible says that there were many antichrist already alive at the time of the apostles, that the antichrists were once Christians that now didn't accept Jesus in the flesh as the male-sperm descendent of David through his father Joseph.

[ADONAI888HASHEM]

IT IS WRITTEN

[7x5Blunt]

Global Government with a Davidic King?

...

[josephmorfin]

adam you are a cool guy, i have no beef with you, but this is just to fun = Baha'u'llah calls all people "people of God" in the Kitab-i-Ahd, "Say: All are created by God" = Thank you Baha'u'llah

[josephmorfin]

Glory to Bahá'u'lláh

[josephmorfin]

and you call yourselves people of God

[adamjacob9]

joseph,

Actually, Baha'u'llah calls all people "people of God" in the Kitab-i-Ahd, "Say: All are created by God"

[josephmorfin]

get a life, and then we will talk

[adamjacob9]

joseph,

Are you doing ok? Problems with the video?

[jeffmichaud999]

joseph, you spend your time and energy listening to the babblings of Ram Dass, wannabe gurus, and metaphysical witch doctors serving ital, and are telling others to get a life? What do guruwannabes like yourself and your "teachers" have to offer but the thoughts of other men? This video is presenting the very thoughts of God Almighty. Please elaborate on what your issue with the teachings from God Himself might be.

shout,

Welcome back. Good to see you. Did you enjoy the video?

[adamjacob9]

Sativa,

Heaven is nearness to God. So when someone comes into contact with God's Messengers, being the 9 Divine Manifestations of the Tree of Life, they begin to take on the spiritual qualities & attributes of God such as love, harmony, peace, justice... The kingdom of God on earth is an actual government which Baha'u'llah has brought to bring peace & justice to this planet. Heaven is both in this world & the next for those that want to draw near to God.

[adamjacob9]

evilren,

check out bupc dot org & read what you find there to start. There is also a free series of Fireside classes which are the proofs for the Baha'i Faith. Our main school is in the Rocky Mountains, but there are many schools & teachers throughout the world, depending on where you are.

[adamjacob9]

Sativa,

It's a Buddhist temple. I can't remember exactly where it's from.

[adamjacob9]

Sativa,

Yes. All are welcome in God's kingdom, which spiritually shines from the hearts & minds of all true believers & physically is recognized by the living descendent of King David as Executive Branch of the House of the Lord (UHJ) of Baha'u'llah. The gates of the Kingdom are open & the watchword is "Unity in Diversity". Education is emphasized so that we can be independent from all save God alone. The free Fireside classes are recommended for those interested to see all of the proofs.

[adamjacob9]

Evilren,

Jesus himself said that when he returns he will have a "new name" (Rev. 3:12) and gives that name in Mark 8:38 as "the glory of the Father" which in Jesus' native tongue of Aramaic is "Baha'u'llah", the prophesied "new name".

[adamjacob9]

Sativa,

Great question! Over the last 6000 years, God has sent 9 Divine Manifestations, like teachers in the grades of school, bringing the same spiritual message summed up in the golden rule, & also advancing civilization. The source of all of this is the same One True God, called by different names. This isn't taking other gods, as God is One, & has revealed Himself progressively. Baha'u'llah is the most recent Manifestation, but not the last.

[MutantKnight]

Whatever it is, you guys are Covenant Breakers. Stop interpreting things from your own imaginings. If you care so much about Baha'u'llah, start reading the Epistle of the Son of the Wolf and learn Arabic. Because I am an Arab Baha'i and I know for sure that this King David thing was NEVER mentioned in any of Baha'u'llah's writings. May God forgive you people...

[adamjacob9]

Mutant,

I'm a 4th generation Baha'i (like that matters at all) and you should open up the Proclamation of Baha'u'llah to page 89 and digest His words. Eat your own words while your at it. Shoghi Effendi clearly declares that Baha'u'llah is a descendent of both the line of Zoroaster AND Jesse the father of King David.

[trueseeker19]

"The ancient beauty [Baha'u'llah] ruleth upon the throne of David. Thus hath my pen spoken that which the histories of bygone ages have related." Proclamation of Baha'u'llah, pg. 89 "He was moreover a descendant of Jesse.." GPB, pg 94

[jojojosmart]

John 5:21- " For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will. The Father has committed all judgement to the Son that all should honor the Son just as they honor the father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the father who sent Him." John 5:38 "You do not have the father's word abiding in you , because whom He sent, Him you do not believe. " Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.

[adamjacob9]

jojo,

That's a great passage, as Jesus fulfills prophecy as the Son and Baha'u'llah fulfills all of the prophecies as the Everlasting Father (Isaiah 9:6). This shows the very high Station both of these Divine Messengers hold as Universal Manifestations of God. Jesus is indeed the Way to the Father, Baha'u'llah.

[jeffmichaud999]

Mutant, I wouldn't go bragging about being an Arab Baha'i. Shoghi was so concerned about the contemptible nature of the Oriental Baha'is that one had to get special permission to speak to one back then.

Baha'u'llah himself said he ruled upon the Throne of David on pg. 89 of His Proclamation. To confirm this Shoghi commissioned Dr. Grover Gonzales to trace the lineage of the Holy Family. His research confirms he was the King upon David's Throne. How do you not know this?

[ariyariya]

This body,which came into existence in April 1963, is elected through secret ballot and plurality vote in a three-stage election by adult Bahá'ís throughout the world. The revealed Word of Bahá'u'lláh, together with the interpretations and expositions of the Centre of the Covenant and the Guardian of the

Cause, constitute the binding terms of reference of the Universal House of Justice and are its bedrock foundation. (Baha'u'llah, The Kitab-i-Aqdas, p. 4)

[adamjacob9]

ariya,

The "body" which you refer to was not set up according to the Constitution of the UHJ as set forth by Shoghi Effendi as it did not go through the 4 stage plan outlined by him. It is also not in line with the Provisions of the Will & Testament of 'Abdu'l-Baha. It is not the UHJ of Baha'u'llah, but a fake, fraud and imitation.

[trueseeker19]

ariy,

Are you aware that the "Hands" and Ruhiyah Khanum aborted the plan of Shoghi Effendi for one of their own? "To go against him is to go against God." They attempted to take power into their own hands and convinced the majority to turn away from the true UHJ in its 1st stage as the International Baha'i Council which was set up Jan. 9, 1951 and which Shoghi Effendi called the greatest event in the Faith since the ministries of the 3 Central Figures. Must have been pretty important.

[ariyariya]

bahai. org is the best site by far!

...and the 12th on the video is not supposed to be there. Im pretty sure it is some kind of error or typo.

[adamjacob9]

ariyariya,

I saw a list once without the 12th principle. I thought that was strange. I know for sure you can see the complete 12 principles at uhj. net the official site of the Universal House of Justice.

[ariyariya]

In regards to 12 commands, to be honest, there is no such thing in the Baha'i Faith called the 12 Principles. Baha'u'llah brought forth many social laws and it's all in the holy book, Kitabe Aqdas, which is a book, not a set of commandments.

[adamjacob9]

ariya,

Nobody said anything about "commands". You must be a part of some other religion than Baha'i if you haven't heard of the 12 principles which are the fulfillment of the Biblical prophecy of the 12 foundation stones of New Jerusalem and 12 fruits of the Tree of Life.

[MutantKnight]

Oh please! Stop being a number addict. Baha'u'llah said that we should avoid having vain imaginings and focusing on Prophecies because it's pointless. Kitab-i-Aqdas is the Holy Book, and if you do not agree with it (Principle #12 is wrong), then please just wipe the Baha'i Faith from your life.

[adamjacob9]

Mutant,

Do you have ANY proof or verses showing that Baha'u'llah is not Who He claims to be on pg. 89 of the Proclamation of Baha'u'llah. The Aghsan lineage through 'Abdu'l-Baha is the continuation of the Everlasting Covenant to King David and is continued in the Executive Branch of the true UHJ as the "distinguished member for life of that body [UHJ]..." W&T pg 14

[BahaiFaithVideos]

Mutant,

Kindly provide the verse where Baha'u'llah says that we shouldn't "focus on prophecies because it's pointless". The entire Kitab'i'Iqan (Book of Certitude) is Baha'u'llah "focusing" on prophecies to Prove the validity of the Revelations of All of the Manifestations of God, including Himself.

[adamjacob9]

ariya,

You can see the complete list of 12 Principles as shown in this video in: Star of the West, Vol. 11, p. 4, Vol. 17, p. 88, & Vol. 22, p. 191. These were published as early as 1911 and 'Abdu'l-Baha expounded upon them earlier.

[ariyariya]

according to my research about the faith and life experience with the bahai's...im going with mutant!

[adamjacob9]

ariya,

That's cool. I did supply you with the citations though, and these lists called "Twelve Basic Principles of the Baha'i Faith" are taken directly from talks and writings of 'Abdu'l-Baha.

[jeffmichaud999]

ariyariya, you're going to go with mutant? You were just provided a specific source from Abdul'-Baha's writings where he delineates the 12 principles. What exactly is the issue you have with them? They are straight from the Master. Ever seen this one: "I knew that we were soon to see the Blessed face of the Prince of the House of David, the King of the whole world [referring to 'Abdu'l-Bahá]." (Lua Getsinger, cf. "Persia" by Asaac Adams, pp.478-484). Early Baha'is knew, and so should you.

[madspwn]

Rule #8 we already had that, we called them hippies, enjoyed their music and ridiculed the ones we didn't lock up for using the tree(s) of life.

You want the truth lol.

You can't handle the truth!

*mMmm* Soma!

This is the best explanation of the Tree of Life I've Ever heard. Great video!
