    Is Ignorance Bliss?

    I’m a 1st century Christian living in modern times. See again the parable of the talents and recall what the master will do to those wicked servants. The wicked servant should have profited from Hebrew Scriptures but didn’t. A warning in the 1st century that remains a warning in modern times...

    Is Ignorance Bliss?

    This isn’t the Messiah’s faith. This isn’t the Messiah’s theology. This isn’t the Messiah’s way. This is an abomination. A day is coming when the Messiah will remove it and those who preach and practice it from the face of the earth.

    Then the argument isn’t settled. ”The gospel is: all you need is love.” - you ”The gospel is not: all you need is love.” - me There is a brotherhood of man between us but there is no brotherhood in the faith between us. So the Baha’i tells the Christian that the Christian doesn’t understand...

    Is Ignorance Bliss?

    Chava is a daughter of Judaism. She marries outside of the faith. She is lured away by love. The fiddler tries in vain to draw her back. The father doesn’t understand how this could have happened and blames himself. There’s more to the story. I don’t want to spoil it for you.

    Then they are not written to non-Christians. The non-Christian is reading someone else’s mail. Yes. The earliest Christians are Jews who believe that a fellow Jew is the Messiah. Baha’i is drawn by the Psalms and the New Testament, just as everyone is. By all means, read our mail. To truly...

    She refused to be drawn back by the fiddler’s persuasion @Pancho Frijoles. She abandoned her faith tradition.

    That should be sufficient to put an end to an “All you need is love is the gospel” argument.

    Is Ignorance Bliss?

    That’s right. The New Testament letters aren’t written to all of mankind. They are written specifically, and only, to Christians. If someone wants them to be written to them, they must become Christian. The invitation is made. It may be accepted or declined. Both have consequences. That’s...

    This isn’t right. He was speaking about the Law, not all known Scriptures. He is talking about his disciples, not the disciples of others. If we were speaking about the Jesus, we would be in agreement. Jesus isn’t devoid of theology, nor is he amenable to all theologies. His theology...

    Is Ignorance Bliss?

    You should know why I brought it up. The gospel is more than just the primacy of love. It’s not just society. It‘s religion. It’s a spiritual battle. It strikes at the very heart of who the one and only true God is. You‘re presenting an anti-New Testament message. What you say is “just a...

    Is Ignorance Bliss?

    “Love isn’t a sin, isn’t wrong, isn’t impure, isn’t a phase. Love isn’t a disease or mental instability. Whether it’s between a man and a woman, or two women, or two men, or a woman and a non-binary person, or a man and non-binary person, or two non-binary people … or just. Any two humans...

    Is Ignorance Bliss?

    Which Jesus? Paul knew and warned about those who would come preaching “another Jesus”. He was critical of Christians who were listening to them (2 Corinthians 11:4). The real Jesus is defined by what is reported about him in the Bible - not in post-biblical creeds, not in other sacred books...

    Is Ignorance Bliss?

    Good afternoon, my friend. Love is essential but “All you need is love” isn’t the gospel message that Jesus and the Apostles preached. Disciples of Jesus aren’t made by listening to The Beatles. They were entertainers, not evangelists sent by the Messiah. Look around us. ”All you need is...
