TEACHING BAHA’I FAITH IS MY REGULAR SERVICE TO THE ONE TRUE GOD

What have you done for God today?

Answer by Tu Nga

I can do nothing for the One True God. I am doing His Will by glorifying His Name before the netzens. I do it to other people at other occasions. The teachings in various Holy Books say that guiding people to the Law of God is the most meritorious of all acts.

Baha’u’llah says:

“Teach ye the Cause of God, O people of Baha, for God hath prescribed unto every one the duty of proclaiming His Message, and regardeth it as the most meritorious of all deeds. Such a deed is acceptable only when he that teacheth the Cause is already a firm believer in God, the Supreme Protector, the Gracious, the Almighty. He hath, moreover, ordained that His Cause be taught through the power of men’s utterance, and not through resort to violence. Thus hath His ordinance been sent down from the Kingdom of Him Who is the Most Exalted, the All-Wise.  279  Beware lest ye contend with any one, nay, strive to make him aware of the truth with kindly manner and most convincing exhortation. If your hearer respond, he will have responded to his own behoof, and if not, turn ye away from him, and set your faces towards God’s sacred Court, the seat of resplendent holiness.” (Baha’u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u'llah, p. 278)

LIFE OF FAITH IS LIFE DEATH OF DISBELIEF IS DEATH DESPITE ALL STATUS

Is it better to die on your feet or to live on your knees?

Answer by Tu Nga

In the love of the One True God, glory on the feet and shame on the knees are equally good.
Without this divine love, standing reverently and kneeling patiently are equally bad.

Baha’u’llah says:

“Thus God turneth iniquity into righteousness, were ye to explore the realms of divine knowledge, and fathom the mysteries of His wisdom. In like manner, whosoever partook of the cup of love, obtained his portion of the ocean of eternal grace and of the showers of everlasting mercy, and entered into the life of faith — the heavenly and everlasting life. But he that turned away from that cup was condemned to eternal death. By the terms “life” and “death,” spoken of in the scriptures, is intended the life of faith and the death of unbelief. The generality of the people, owing to their failure to grasp the meaning of these words, rejected and despised the person of the Manifestation, deprived themselves of the light of His divine guidance, and refused to follow the example of that immortal Beauty. “(Baha’u'llah, The Kitab-i-Iqan, p. 113)

WE NEED TO KNOW AND TO DO THE WILL OF GOD WITH OUR RATIONAL SENSE

If we control our fate/destiny…?

why things don´t fall in the right places no matter how careful we plan our actions? do you believe that you are not the one who has the final say in your future?

Answer by Tu Nga

Definitely yes, because we all possess the rational sense to make wise decision.
With the amazingly new means of communications, we can learn common values in the human life, and we can make collective progress on the right direction. If we create opportunities for our children to enjoy physical, intellectual, spiritual education, they will attain better achievements than us. Due to lack of understanding, mankind in the past were not aware of each other, therefore the levels of development differ greatlly among various individuals and communities. This is the time we are entering the new phase of globalization, we will really learn to love and to assist each other in building a world civilization for all the human race.

Baha’u’llah says:

“These are verses We sent down previously, soon after Our arrival in the prison-city of ‘Akká, and We have sent them unto thee, that thou mayest be acquainted with what their lying tongues have spoken, when Our Cause came unto them with might and sovereignty. The foundations of idle fancies have trembled, and the heaven of vain imaginings hath been cleft asunder, and yet the people are in doubt and in contention with Him. They have denied the testimony of God and His proof, after He came from the heaven of power with the kingdom of His  135  signs. They have cast away what had been prescribed, and perpetrated what had been forbidden them in the Book. They have abandoned their God, and clung unto their desires. They truly have strayed and are in error. They read the verses and deny them. They behold the clear tokens and turn aside. They truly are lost in strange doubt.” (Baha’u'llah, Epistle to the Son of the Wolf, p. 134)

WHY WE’RE ALL SORELY SEEKING FOR EARTHLY PLEASURES WHILE BEASTS GET FREELY?

Will you still follow your religion if proof were found that there is no afterlife?

I couldn’t find any similar, previously asked questions, so forgive me if this has been settled earlier, elsewhere. The question is; will you still follow your religion if conclusive proof were discovered that there is no afterlife. This will just about nullify each and every religion out there. It seems as if the basic formula for all religion to gain power and authority is the same: Tell people, even though it can not be proved, that there is an afterlife, you have a soul, you will be judged based on what you do on earth and, voila, the hard drive is formatted! Add any version of software you like! Now I can just hear people say, “It is so, cause the bible said so!” On that I can just say that from where I’m standing, there seems to be a lot of contradiction and lies in the bible, and as communications and our scientific knowledge grows, the contradiction and lies seem to grow with it.

Additional Details

From this I can only conclude that the bible was written by man [minus the divine intervention] and no man alive knows what happens when you die.
Point being, religion not only ask of me to gamble my soul on an uncertain afterlife, but expects me to follow their rules in this life [at least I’m certain of this life, got proof].
Isn’t it time people open their minds to the facts on the table. We are here, something had to put us here and there seems to be rules of physics laid down by something. Should we not consider rethinking religion? Should a new world religion not be created based on the solid scientific facts?

Answer by Tu Nga

I don’t have to wait for any new proofs to confirm my faith.
Science and religion clearly prove that composed elements will be decomposed into dust; spiritual entities will continue to exist spiritually. 
Our body of dust will return to dust, our soul of spiritual reality will continue to exist in the spiritual world of the One True God under His eternal mercy. Humanity will inevitably enjoy the physical, intellectual and spititual education to attain greater hope, not to fall back as mere dust. If everything is dust, then man is really more miserable than the animals, because animals are indulging into all physical pleasures with no worry about the future, and they don’t have to labor and to bear suffering for the education of their children.

Baha’u’llah says:

“God, the True One, testifieth and the Revealers of His names and attributes bear witness that Our sole purpose in raising the Call and in proclaiming His sublime Word is that the ear of the entire creation may, through the living waters of divine utterance, be purged from lying tales and become attuned to the holy, the glorious and exalted Word which hath issued forth from the repository of the knowledge of the Maker of the Heavens and the Creator of Names. Happy are they that judge with fairness.” (Baha’u'llah, Tablets of Baha’u'llah, p. 17)
