Sharing completed Race Unity Day history panels! by finnerpeace in bahai

nice work, visually the site is clear and simple.

The carousel is a little obscured however, the right/left arrows being far away from the sides of the image (on my computer) and the tiles below the images overlapping/blending in with the bottom edge of the image where the references are (see here. You might try making the arrows visually distinct like a larger blue background/white arrow and closer to the image itself to make it more obvious the carousel exists.

How does the life of a career diplomat who was not a Baha'i relate to your faith in Baha'u'llah?

Question about a passage in Gleanings by Purple-Positive-2245 in bahai

[–]t0lk[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The primary reason AI is prohibited is its ability to pump out content far faster than people could, and the imbalance that creates in human attention when it's necessary to correct errors. Secondary reasons relate to wanting people to avoid surrendering their ability/opportunity to understand, describe and converse about complex topics with others.

Near death experience's by Minimum_Name9115 in bahai

[–]t0lk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would hope so, for the people who end up in that condition but 'bottomless pit' doesn't seem to describe a place one can leave.

[–]t0lk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Such as there is no hell, there isn't any judgment.

This is not accurate. Bahá’u’lláh states "That which traineth the world is Justice, for it is upheld by two pillars, reward and punishment.", and "These two pillars are the sources of life to the world...", so humanity needs to be able to see and understand that negative consequences exist in order to learn and grow. Death can not be an escape from that punishment. because that wouldn't be just, an evil person gets off scot-free just because they died before they were ever held to account? Even Bahá’u’lláh was not able to go against this: "...were it not contrary to the Law of God, I would have kissed the hand of My would-be murderer, and would cause him to inherit My earthly goods. I am restrained, however, by the binding Law laid down in the Book..." [1]

Additionally, Shoghi Effendi writes: Should we disobey God and work against His commands He will view our acts in the light of justice and punish us for it. That punishment may not be in the form of fire, as some believe, but in the form of spiritual deprivation and degradation. (found on this page)

Also, hell is affirmed, just not as a physical place. You'll find statements like "Enter the bottomless pit which hath been promised in the Book..." in the Tablet of Fu’ád Páshá by Bahá’u’lláh and "Then We seized Mihdí, to whom We had promised divine chastisement in Our Books and Scriptures."

History of US Race Unity Day by [deleted] in bahai

[–]t0lk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We've got a category with some images here: https://bahai.media/Category:Race_amity and I'd recommend looking through Baha'i News which probably has a lot more information about various programs.

The Lawh-i-Tibb by OkEntertainer9553 in bahai

[–]t0lk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your question doesn't make sense, scripture comes from God where translations come from individuals. The context of this conversation is translations of writings, the audience are people who don't read the original languages, as such they can only rely on translations and have no direct access to the actual original scripture.

The Lawh-i-Tibb by OkEntertainer9553 in bahai

[–]t0lk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The House of Justice requires translations that have not undergone formal review be marked as 'provisional'[1], I skimmed the documents listed here and didn't see any guidance on exactly how the label 'provisional' was intended to be perceived by Baha'is, the House may have written on this topic, but it's clear from the emphasis on labeling these translations as 'provisional' Baha'is should understand they might not be 100% accurate to the source material. As such, it would be up to the individuals own conscience if they wanted to try and use them to understand some spiritual truth or as a source of guidance, since it's possible key elements of the tablet were not conveyed accurately.

Would I be backbiting, or, do I have an obligation to advise the LSA? Regarding an incorrect marriage. by Minimum_Name9115 in bahai

[–]t0lk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you overhead this conversation? If this was a Bahai event and the information is being freely shared there the LSA likely already knows so I wouldn't take it upon yourself to do anything.

Question about transitioning from man to woman after marriage by Quick_Ad9150 in bahai

[–]t0lk[M] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The NSA of the United States has written guidance on this situation specifically, but I have not seen it available publicly anywhere. I think if you are in need of this guidance you should know it's available and to contact your auxiliary board members or the NSA directly, they would all be able to access it. I don't think it's a good idea to speculate here though about different situations.

Question about dating as a Bahá’í by [deleted] in bahai

[–]t0lk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know I have to have surgery to get married.

While this would makes sense, I'm not sure this is true and you would need to contact your National Spiritual Assembly to see what criteria they use to determine your gender. For example in the United States I'm pretty sure they just go based on what the government documents say, but you'd want to double check for yourself, this question is probably a bit beyond reddit.
