'Abdu'l-Bahá: All Will Perish Through The Spiritual Disease of Violation of the Bahá'í Covenant

 

..The brothers of His Holiness Christ came to Him and it was said, “These are your brothers.”  He answered that His brothers were those who believed in God, and refused to associate with His own brothers… His Holiness Christ did not exercise despotism in the case of Judas Iscariot and His own brothers, but they separated themselves.  In short, the point is this: ‘Abdu’l-Bahá is extremely kind, but when the disease is leprosy, what am I to do? …One must protect and safeguard the blessed souls from the breaths and fatal spiritual diseases, otherwise violation, like the plague, will become a contagion and all will perish.                                                                                                                                                                                                  Star of the West XIII.  pp. 24-25.

The Covenant Trilogy by Charles Gaines, 1960

  The GUARDIANSHIP AND ADMINISTRATION FIRST INTRODUCTION             In the face of such trials and tests as these times are likely to lay upon the entire Baha'i World, it is imperative that we take a second look at Baha'i and see what it is that this beloved Faith of ours teaches, stands for and requires, if it is to be triumphant over the sinister forces of nature and of an unregenerate humanity.  It is clearly evident how “humanity is languishing upon a bed of sickness, sore-tried and disillusioned.” and it behooves all men to examine anew the remedy that has been prescribed by the Divine Physician, which alone can “deliver mankind from this desolating affliction” and “fuse its discordant, elements” into one organic, indivisible whole; to ponder dispassionately and penetrate, to depths unparalleled, the “wholesome medicine”, the “Elixir” that can “cleanse and revive” a humanity sick unto death; to st...

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...

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...
