    Do Baha'is Believe in Jesus? Yes! Of course Baha'is Believe in Jesus Do Baha'is Believe in Jesus ? "For the Faith of Baha'u'llah - if we would faithfully appraise it - can never, and in no aspect of its teachings, be at variance, much less conflict, with the purpose animating, or the authority invested in, the Faith of Jesus Christ... ...This glowing tribute which Baha'u'llah Himself has been moved to pay to the Author of the Christian Religion stands as sufficient testimony to the truth of this central principle of Baha'i belief..." -Shoghi Effendi "As to the position of Christianity, let it be stated without any hesitation or equivocation that its divine origin is unconditionally acknowledged, that the Sonship and Divinity of Jesus Christ are fearlessly asserted, that the divine inspiration of the Gospel is fully recognized... ...that the reality of the mystery of the Immaculacy of the Virgin Mary is confessed, and the primacy of Peter, the Prince of the Apostles, is upheld and defended. The Founder of the Christian Faith is designated by Baha'u'llah as the "Spirit of God," is proclaimed as the One Who "appeared out of the breath of the Holy Ghost," and is even extolled as the "Essence of the Spirit." His mother is described as "that veiled and immortal, that most beauteous, countenance," and the station of her Son eulogized as a "station which hath been exalted above the imaginings of all that dwell on earth," whilst Peter is recognized as one whom God has caused "the mysteries of wisdom and of utterance to flow out of his mouth." "Know thou," Baha'u'llah has moreover testified, "that when the Son of Man yielded up His breath to God, the whole creation wept with a great weeping. By sacrificing Himself, however, a fresh capacity was infused into all created things... ...Its evidences, as witnessed in all the peoples of the earth, are now manifest before thee. The deepest wisdom which the sages have uttered, the profoundest learning which any mind hath unfolded, the arts which the ablest hands have produced, the influence exerted by the most potent of rulers, are but manifestations of the quickening power released by His transcendent, His all-pervasive and resplendent Spirit. We testify that when He came into the world, He shed the splendor of His glory upon all created things. Through Him the leper recovered from the leprosy of perversity and ignorance. Through Him the unchaste and wayward were healed. Through His power, born of Almighty God, the eyes of the blind were opened and the soul of the sinner sanctified.... He it is Who purified the world. Blessed is the man who, with a face beaming with light, hath turned towards Him." Indeed, the essential prerequisites of admittance into the Baha'i fold of Jews, Zoroastrians, Hindus, Buddhists, and the followers of other ancient faiths, as well as of agnostics and even atheists, is the wholehearted and unqualified acceptance by them all of the divine origin of both Islam and Christianity, of the Prophetic functions of both Muhammad and Jesus Christ, of the legitimacy of the institution of the Imamate, and of the primacy of St. Peter, the Prince of the Apostles. Such are the central, the solid, the incontrovertible principles that constitute the bedrock of Baha'i belief, which the Faith of Baha'u'llah is proud to acknowledge, which its teachers proclaim, which its apologists defend, which its literature disseminates, which its summer schools expound, and which the rank and file of its followers attest by both word and deed." -Shoghi Effendi: The Promised Day is Come, pages 109-110

    Progressive Revelation Part 1 Don't forget the Jews don't believe in or even read the New Testament and neither do they believe in Jesus. They believe that he was an impostor and are still awaiting the Messiah. They have no idea who he will be but that it will be obvious when he comes. They believe in the Old Testament which is known as the Tanakh because it contains three sections (i) the Torah (ii) the Nevi'im and (iii) the Kethuvim which has the three initials T, N & K, hence Tanakh. When Abraham said 'they have Moses and the Prophets. let them hear them' he was referring to the Jewish book 'the Tanakh' not the New Testament. Jesus' audience were Jews and Lazarus was a Jew. Remember that in those days the world was teeming millions and the Christians only a handful. Just because we all know about Jesus today it doesn't mean that the Jewish populace had any idea who Jesus was. They don't even now. Converts had to be made one heart at a time so it was a very slow process apart from the way Jesus personally taught which was infinitely superior to the way his disciples preached after he was gone. If you preached and drew a crowd most likely the mob would attack you like when Paul preached. So its taken 2,000 years to get this big but its a testimony to the greatness of Christ that there's 2 billion Christians and millions of Churches and I say that as a member of the Bahá'í Faith not Christianity although we are a multi-faith religion in a multi-faith society. Part 2 May I just add that Jesus wasn't preaching what the people already knew, his message was new and difficult to recognise for the Jews and Gentiles. The Pharisees (clergy) were teaching what the people already knew ie Judaism. Today the Persian Prophet Bahá'u'lláh (1817-1892CE)is not teaching what the people already know whereas the Christian clergy are teaching what the people already know ie Christianity. Baha'i's believe that the Prophet Bahá'u'lláh is the return of Christ and he has written 100 volumes and spent 40 years in prison and exile. The Baha'i's are heavily persecuted in Iran the land of its birth. Part 3 The Father of Judaism was the Prophet Abraham (2,600 BCE approx). Later on came the Prophet Moses (1,600BCE approx) and He freed the Children of Israel from the Iron grip of the Hand of Pharaoh. Later on in the days of King David and King Solomon there was a Jewish Golden Age and Israel became a centre of great learning. Don't forget the Jews believe in the Old Testament (the Tanakh) and not the New Testament. Christianity inherited the Old Testament from the Jews. The Early Christians must have said to themselves "well Judaism is the Old Religion and Christianity is the New Religion, so we will call the Jewish book the Old Testament and the Christian book the New Testament and put it into one Book the Holy Bible." Jesus came at a time when Judaism had become old and corrupt. It was time for a new religion. Jesus sent his followers out to teach His Religion to the whole world. There was a Christian Golden Age. When Christianity came into temporal power and earthly riches it became old and corrupt so it was time for a new Prophet and a new religion so God sent Muhammad with a new religion called Islam. The Prophet Muhammad sent his followers out to teach His Religion to the whole world. Their religion grew until there was an Islamic Golden Age when they were the most advanced Nations on Earth. Eventually it became old and corrupt so it was time for a new Prophet and a new religion so God sent the Báb (the Gate) (1819-1850CE) who announced the coming of a greater One who would come after Him. The Báb announced His mission in 1844CE. He sent His followers out to teach His Religion to all mankind. In 1850CE the Báb was shot by firing squad. The One promised by the Báb was the Prophet Bahá'u'lláh (1817-1892CE) who announced his mission in 1853CE. Once again He sent out His followers to teach His religion to all mankind. He wrote 100 volumes and spent 40 years in prison and exile. His successors were his eldest Son 'Abdu'l-Bahá who wrote many books and Bahá'u'lláh's Great Grandson Shoghi Effendi who wrote many volumes. In the future there will be a Baha'i Golden Age of Peace and harmony between all of the races and religions on Earth. There will be a much more advanced Global Civilization with no more war, starvation, poverty, disease or environmental disaster. Eventually the Bahá’í Faith will become old and outworn and it will be time for a new religion. A new Prophet will come and we will start over again. He will send out his followers to teach His religion to the whole world. Bahá’u’lláh predicted this new Prophet but he said that he won’t come for a thousand years. There will be a new Religion with a new Golden Age. Eventually it will become old and outworn and yet another Prophet will be born and he will start a new Religion so we will start all over again. The Prophets will keep on coming indefinitely. Jim
