Baha'ullah said that God would send a messenger and warners
for every age. So why are you just as hung up on your god,
Baha'ullah, as all the rest of the losers are hung up on thiers?
This is the HERE AND NOW!

I think you need to know this:
The Baha'i Faith is the youngest of the world’s independent monotheistic religions. Founded in Iran in 1844, it now has more than 5 million adherents in 236 countries and territories. Baha'is come from nearly every national, ethnic and religious background, making the Baha'i Faith the second-most widespread religion in the world.

Baha'is view all the world's major religions as a part of a single, progressive process through which God reveals His will to humanity. The Founder of the Baha'i Faith, Baha'u'llah (1817-1892), is recognized as the most recent in a line of Divine Messengers that stretches back beyond recorded time and includes Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Zoroaster, Christ and Muhammad. The central theme of Baha'u'llah's message is that humanity is one single race and that the day has come for humanity’s unification into one global society. While reaffirming the core ethical principles common to all religions, Baha'u'llah also revealed new laws and teachings to lay the foundations of a global civilization. “A new life,” Baha'u'llah declares, “is, in this age, stirring within all the peoples of the earth.”

The worldwide Baha'i community, composed of people from virtually every racial, ethnic and religious background, is working to give practical expression to Baha'u'llah’s vision of world unity. We invite you to learn more about the Baha'i Faith and benefit from the spirtual and practical insights found in the Revelation of Baha'u'llah, God's message for humanity in this day.

Good Luck

There are a number of Baha'is who frequent this site. Baha'u'llah is not God; He is a Manifestation, a Messenger of God. He is the Messenger and Warner for this age.

Not sure who you are calling losers, but I feel like a winner since I found Baha'u'llah! :-)

As mentioned in the previous message Baha'u'llah never claimed to be God incarnate and His own Writing testify to this fact. For example He wrote when referring to Himself "This is but a leaf which the winds of the will of thy Lord, the Almighty, the All-Praised, have stirred."

There are times when the Messengers of God appear to be claiming to be God. This is because the Messengers of God have to two-fold station - that of the mouthpiece of God and that of a Messenger of God. Baha'u'llah explains this by saying "Were any of the all-embracing Manifestations of God to declare: "I am God!" He verily speaketh the truth, and no doubt attacheth thereto. For it hath been repeatedly demonstrated that through their Revelation, their attributes and names, the Revelation of God, His name and His attributes, are made manifest in the world... And were any of them to voice the utterance: "I am the Messenger of God," He also speaketh the truth, the indubitable truth."
