Christian Ex-Baha'i

I was a Baha'i for many years. Now I'm a Christian. 

I am here to encourage Baha'is to read the Bible. As a Baha'i, I was never encouraged to read the Bible. I was told that the Baha'i Writings were better. After twenty-five years in the Baha'i Faith I decided to read the Bible on my own. It healed me and changed my life.

Baha'is point to prophecies from the Bible to try to prove the validity of Baha'u'llah's claim to "Return of Christ" . . . yet they minimize, marginalize, or explain as "symbolic" most of Christianity: the virgin birth, baptism, miracles, the trinity, communion, the resurrection, atonement, salvation, the rapture, heaven and hell, and the personification of Satan.

How can those prophecies be valid if you believe that so much of what Christ was and taught was not valid? Why choose to believe one tiny part of the Bible but marginalize and minimize so many important issues? Is this hypocritical?

I am here to encourage you to read the Bible.
