"...the beauteous robe of faith..."
I like using Wikipedia, even if parts of it are untrustworthy.
No matter what field of life you name, making personal judgements about the trustworthiness of ideas, events, and people are necessary for our spiritual growth.
Even matters of faith need the clarity of reason to fuel their fires and even Wikipedia needs to make judgements about the trustworthiness of information.
Here's the beginning of their entry on Faith:
All or part of this article may be confusing or unclear. Please help clarify the article. Suggestions may be on the talk page. (December 2007) |
To comply with Wikipedia's lead section guidelines, the introduction of this article may need to be rewritten. Please discuss this issue on the talk page and read the layout guide to make sure the section will be inclusive of all essential details. This article has been tagged since July 2007. |
This article or section is missing citations or needs footnotes. Using inline citations helps guard against copyright violations and factual inaccuracies. (August 2007) |
And, here are our quotes for today:
"Just as the conception of faith hath existed from the beginning that hath no beginning, and will endure till the end that hath no end, in like manner will the true believer eternally live and endure."Bahá’u’lláh: Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, Selection LXIII, p. 141
"Amity and rectitude of conduct, rather than dissension and mischief, are the marks of true faith."
Bahá’u’lláh: Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, Selection C, p. 205
"Arise and, armed with the power of faith, shatter to pieces the gods of your vain imaginings, the sowers of dissension amongst you."
Bahá’u’lláh: Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, Selection CXI, p. 217
"He [Muhammad] bade the erring and wayward arise and speed out of the sepulchres of their bodies, arrayed them with the beauteous robe of faith, and quickened them with the breath of a new and wondrous life."
Bahá’u’lláh: The Kitáb-i-Íqán, paragraph 123, p. 107
"....the peoples of the world are judged by their countenance. By it, their misbelief, their faith, and their iniquity are all made manifest."
