The different religious communities have failed to unite in the past, because the adherents of each have regarded the Founder of their own community as the one supreme authority, and His law as the divine law. Any Prophet Who proclaimed a different message was, therefore, regarded as an enemy of the truth. The different sects of each community have separated for similar reasons. The adherents of each have accepted some subordinate authority and regarded some particular version or interpretation of the Founder's Message as the One True Faith, and all others as wrong.. Baha'u'llah.. teaches that all the Prophets were bearers of authentic messages from God; that each in His day gave the highest teachings that the people could then receive.. He calls on the adherents of each religion, not to deny.. their own Prophets, but to acknowledge the Divine Inspiration of all the other Prophets..
(121:2)
