A Baha'i author named Michael Sours wrote an incredible book called _The
Prophecies of Jesus_ where he goes through the entire book of Matt. 24 and
does a verse-by-verse analysis of what it means from the Baha'i perspective.
I recommend it highly. You'll learn a lot about Islam from this book, as
well as what happened in the last century with the most intense expectations
for the Advent in the history of Christianity.

You sound VERY open minded. :)

Well, no one's perfect. We see our lives as a process of striving for more
and more perfections. Baha'is can always be "fuller" of love. :) We have the
examples of the lives of the central figures of the Faith to inspire us in
this, as well as the examples of all the Holy Ones in religious history,
including Jesus.

Love and peace, Wendy---{-@
