Bahaism and Its Claims: A Study of the Religion Promulgated by Baha Ullah and Abdul Baha
Wilson, Samuel Graham
Bahai Faith -- Controversial literature
Other imitations of Christ's works and words are repeated to keep up the
pretense that He is the Saviour. In Chicago and other places "the
children were on hand to receive the spiritual blessing of Abdul Baha.
He called each child to him and took him in his lap. He blessed them
all, laying his hand in blessing on each little head." At a Unity Feast
he said: "Abdul Baha is standing and waiting upon you." What is this but
a copying of the words: "I am among you as one that doth serve."
Palpable imitations of Christ's words abound in the so-called
Revelations. In the "Lawh-ul-Akdas "there is a series of beatitudes as:
"Blessed is the lowly one who holds to the rope of my might. Blessed is
the hungry one who hastens away from desire. Blessed is the thirsty one
who seeks the nectar of my benediction. Blessed is the spirit who was
stirred by my breath. Blessed is he who has suffered tribulation for my
name's sake," etc. Baha Ullah doubles the number of Christ's Beatitudes!
In the "Kitab-ul-Akdas," written many years before his death, Baha
imitates the parting words of Christ:
Christ in the Gospel says: Baha Ullah says:
"Let not your hearts be "Be not troubled."
troubled."
"Let not your heart be "Let not your trouble take
troubled; neither let possession of you."
it be afraid."
"I am with you always." "We are with you under
all conditions."
"If any man love me, he "Whoso knoweth me, will
will keep my words." rise up to serve me."
"It is expedient for you "Verily there is in my occulation
that I go away." a reason."
"I will see you again." "We shall see you."
What palpable imitations of words so dear to the Christian heart! Words
which were in the mouth of Christ Jesus the expression of deep and
sincere emotion are used for effect!
X. Bahaism is antichristian in its rites and ceremonies.
