I was raised Roman Catholic, but later joined the Bahá'í Faith, a religion that teaches that all religions come from God, but also teaches that each religion progressively reveals more about the truth. Bahá'ísm considers Jesus to be one prophet among many that God has sent throughout history. However, I could not reconcile John 14.6, a claim that Jesus made which is unique to all the other men considered by Bahá'ís to be prophets, ie., Moses, Buddha, Muhammad, Bahá'u'lláh, etc., with the Bahá'í claim that there are many ways to God. Either this claim was true or it was not true, but if it was true, then its truth smashed to pieces the Bahá'í doctrine of the unity of all religions. | What were you doing reading the Bible? Did they encourage you to do so since Jesus was a prophet and all?
