On a few occasions I've had the opportunity to discuss the Baha'i faith with
followers of Baha'ulla and have experienced the interpretive gymnastics
needed to make Bible prophecy fit Baha'i writings and Baha'ulla's claims.
Of the many different faiths I've dealt with, I must say Baha'i is the most
exasperating of them all. Most frustrating is the Baha'is ability to ignore
any proof you provide and continue a line of thinking even when clear
evidence is given that it can't be true, even to the point of starting a
conversation over and completely ignoring what even they have said
themselves. If you ever get into a discussion with a Baha'i you should also
be prepared for condescension and an arrogant view of Christians. It is a
common trait throughout the Baha'i community to feel they are more
intellectual than other faiths, and indeed study and memorization are a big
part of their religion. This self image of being enlightened while the rest
of us are clueless is part of the reason they are so deceived. Satan has
always used pride as an effective tool for making people unable and
unwilling to see the error in their ways. Seeing oneself as far superior
intellectually makes it harder to accept facts presented by a supposedly
less enlightened Christian. This article is the first in a series intended
to expose you to the line of thinking and the kind of logic you will
encounter should you share your faith with a Baha'i. It also presents some
of the inaccuracies in their reinterpretation of Bible prophecy used to
support Baha'ulla's claim to have fulfilled the second coming of Christ. It
is by no means an exhaustive critique, and will be continued in the future.

Why do you persist in spamming so many irrelevent newsgroups, asshole?
Fucking spammers; you should all be shot.

I thought this was at the top of the thread. Are you starting a new
thread to publicize how arrogant and condescending a few Christians can
be in their treatment of the BF?
