The Kitáb-i-Aqdas of Bahá'u'lláh & The Will and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Bahá Are the Twin Repositories of Bahá'í Sovereignty

From The World Order of Bahá'u'lláh, by Shoghi Effendi: "I consider it my duty to warn every beginner in the Faith that the promised glories of the Sovereignty which the Bahá'í teachings foreshadow, can be revealed only in the fullness of time, that the implications of the Aqdas and the Will of 'Abdu'l-Bahá, as the twin repositories of the constituent elements of that Sovereignty, are too far-reaching for this generation to grasp and fully appreciate." p. 16.

The Violation of the Bahá'í Covenant by Leland Jensen: Dismantling His Absurd Claims

                            Leland Jensen claimed to fulfill prophecy as the ‘establisher’ of the Bahá’í Faith.   In reality, he was a cult leader who followed the pattern of all cult leaders.   Jensen was a sexual predator who served time in prison for assaulting a juvenile patient in his chiropractic office.   Instead of accepting his conviction and punishment, he turned himself into the charismatic leader of his cult.   He claimed to have a spiritual experience in prison while reading Zechariah 3 in the Old Testament.   Jensen decided that ‘the stone with seven eyes’ mentioned in Zechariah 3 was the very prison in which he was confined, as a sex offender, because it had seven watchtowers.   Instead of seeking treatment to overcome his criminal sexual impulses, he elevated himself to increasingly exalted stations l...

E.S. Yazdani, Fifth Bahá'í Guardian: A Response to “The Bahá’í Faith 1957–1988: A Survey of Contemporary Developments.” by Smith-Momen

  O THOU GLORY OF THE MOST GLORIOUS Office of Fifth Guardian of the Bahá’í Faith   When the fundamental basis of the Bahá’í Faith is interfered with , the very foundation of the Bahá’í Administration changes. Furthermore, the Cause of Bahá’u’lláh deviates from its divinely established course; the authentic Covenant of Bahá’u’lláh, as defined in The Kitáb-i-Ahd , The Kitáb-i-Aqdas , and The Will and Testament of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá , is replaced by a man-made covenant, altering the standards of the Bahá’í Faith; progress and development in the present administration in Haifa as well as in the worldwide community of believers lose their meaning and is no longer relevant. This is true regardless of any period surveyed or comparison made to another time.   This is the case in an article written by Peter Smith and Moojan Momen. The article appeared on Bahá’ì Library Online 1 , as well as on Academia 1 , under the title, “The Bahá’í Faith 1957–1988...
