My Baha’i walk from here on.

This new blog is an outlet to express my views of the Baha’i faith that I do not yet feel comfortable professing to those who knew me as a Christian.

I have been studying Ruhi Book 1 for three months, at the same time maintaining my covenant with Jesus Christ. In my heart is a burning desire for God’s presence, the warm vibrations of His Holy Spirit.

I believe that religion is necessary for every man, for without which, the soul is stressed with longing. The Christian faith place great importance in the love for God and servanthood towards His commandment, which I humbly obey. But many questions remain unanswered, and that stresses the soul.

These questions were answered to me through the Baha’i faith.

First and foremost, I must thank the Lord for designating an extinguished, knowledgeable, and most of all, God-loving young man as my dedicated Tutor whom I have come to deeply respect. My Tutor, firm in his covenant with Baha’u'llah, is high in self-esteem, not compromising to worldly norms. His passion in God’s love for the world and mankind reaches out to every man on the street regardless of race, social status, and religious background.

That is most important to me. Religion should bring us forward in social progress, not backwards. That said, our covenant with God should not limit our hearts to a specific community. Religion should never evoke fear for loyalty, or in the name of God’s commandment, banish other religious beliefs as satanic without prior investigation of truth.

Ethnocentrism should not be condoned in this progressive world. As Jesus said, “Love Thy neighbor as Thyself.” Let any differences in opinion be resolved in deep understanding, pursuant to the practical truth.

I yearn for the day when all men are united in one Cause for the betterment of his son, his cousin, his friend, his neighbor, and for every stranger who crosses his path. That, to me, is world unity which I hope will be achieved to end all strive and sufferings.

My life as a Baha’i should only deepen my love for Jesus Christ. Nothing less.
