A viewer asks: “I met with a group of Baha’is recently before COVID-19 quarantine started, and they believe that their founder Baha’u’ullah was the incarnation of God on Earth. It started in Iran in the 1800s. Many so-called sacred volumes were written. It seemed very strange and unusual to me as a Christian as I learned a little bit about it in a couple of their meetings. Can you advise if it has Creator’s approval? It has 6 million followers worldwide. My own sense of discernment is that it is not fully divine, because the sacred teachings seem a bit off, and mention the recommendation of One World Government, for example. I realize you may not want to publish a repudiation of a faith, but wanted to check in with you about it.” What can we tell him?

We have no compunction about bursting bubbles if people are being misled and being harmed as a consequence. We are not here to support religion in any form, but only higher divine truth. To the extent that is embraced by religion, we will be quick to applaud those involved and encourage them to go further along those lines, but we will call out anyone who is misdirecting followers in any way. It is no different than any other human interaction where someone is telling lies and we are asked about "What is the true story?" We do not intrude in ways to cause a karmic backlash that is unwarranted but when people are being deceived actively, there will be a karmic consequence for the deceivers even though they themselves are being deceived through corruption. That is the case here, that this body of faith is a distortion and a manipulation, both. It is the same with many branches of religious believers who form offshoots of prior religious bodies to go their own way. That is often a consequence of manipulation to bring that about and is analogous to the creation of the "New Age Movement," so-called—it is a branch of spirituality that was launched in response to and in reaction to prior religious teaching but was done for nefarious purposes. That is almost always the case. Sometimes the impulse to form one’s own body of divine knowledge to follow is well-intentioned and divinely inspired but still the people do not realize they are vulnerable and then become corrupted, and their views gradually become more distorted and rendered ineffectual because they are in a process of disconnection from a true divine partnership—that is what has taken place here, so this group and its teachings can be ignored.
