For those of us too old to fast, it’s still good to say this particular prayer, among some other fasting prayers, for those who are fasting, and it’s making me feel more a part of it.

It was posted, of course. People are free to express themselves here. Just curious, if you’re still around, do you think those who believed in Lord Jesus in the midst of His ministry before the crucifixion were not saved since they didn’t believe He had been raised from the physically dead? Did you know Jesus Himself gave us the key to know the true from false prophets: we would know them by their fruits. You might try to taste the fruits of the Spirit of Bahá’u’lláh before you decide to ignore Him. Millions believe in Jesus because of Him, and we also believe He was the return of the Christ Spirit with a new name that Jesus promised. It couldn’t hurt to look at this with an open mind. Just saying…

The Word of God, the Holy Bible says, “It is appoints appointed to man ONCE to die, and then the judgement”. Believe me, you want to get this right the first time because you don’t get a second chance. The Bible also says, “if thou will confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in thy heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” I know this will never be posted, but maybe one of the deleters will see it and look it up…
