My Class

LarryK32 · 12-09-2010, 02:34 PM

I have a History and Literature of the Old and New Testament class as an elective. I know for a fact that 4 out of maybe 16 people are non-Christian, so it's not just me.

We just finished the Old Testament and will start the New Testament after the holidays.

What verses point towards the coming of Muhammed, the Bab, and Baha'u'llah. I know John 10:16 refers to Baha'u'llah. What else is there?

I suggest you examine this web site:

Click on one of the following to navigate further down this page Religious Unity

Also, get onto the "Book" section of:

Bahá'í Library Online

and read Riggs' The Apocalypse: An Exegesis and (though it's a bit late for this one) I, Daniel.

Please be forewarned that the former especially uses a LOT of symbolism from astrology not because Baha'is are into astrology but because, like it or not, John employed a lot of such symbolism in what he wrote in Revelation.

I wish you good huinting! :-)

Thank you VERY much, Bruce.
I will definitely look into it.

And I feel I must reveal my full intentions. I do want to point out how the last 3 Manifestations have fulfilled prophesies, yes.
But I also want to show the people in my class how not all nonChristians are evil and 'of satan'. I live in the Bible Belt so almost anything I say will offend them. But I feel I must open their eyes to tolerance and attempt to get them to stop hating.
