Two more essential beliefs characterize the consciousness of the Baha'i. First, that no essential difference exists between these divine messengers: "There is no distinction whatsoever among the Bearers of My Message". Abraham, Moses, Krishna, Buddha, Christ and Muhammad, all came with the same mission: the education of the human race. Secondly, the claim that today, when all the old religions have consumed their life force and are being questioned, and when, following the philosophers, even the theologians now proclaim the death of God and see in Him nothing more than a symbol for "a particular form of love for others" (Herbert Braun), God, through Baha'u'llah, has once again spoken to mankind.
(21:3)
