I think that was the main reason why the very most Prophets (<-- just a term for: "Receiving truth from the spirit of God directly")
were always in trouble with the most "scribes".
Specially with those who had no inner contact to the spirit... but only were able to interpret existings scipture literally... claiming at the same time to be "the official authority".
The conflict between "the scribes" of the religious authority 2000 Years ago and Jesus... is a very typical example.
Resulted in the crucifixion of Jesus... persecution and stoning his followers (ie. Stephan).
The same principle also in the case of Bahāʾullāh.
Bahāʾullāh was in direct contact with the spirit of truth... and of course this living-truth was in contradiction with the death-truth of the many literally interpretations of "the scribes" in his culture and society.
