1. How do Baha'is regard Jesus Christ? common: He was a Manifestation like Moses, Muhammad and Baha'u'llah better: Baha'is believe in "the Sonship and Divinity" of the Lord Jesus the Christ (pdc 109)
(28:2)
2. Do you accept the Bible as the Word of God? common: Well, we know that it's inspired but it's been corrupted and edited with additions and deletions. But we believe it's a Holy Book for a past age. Baha'is follow the Baha'i Writings which are for this day. better: Baha'is fully recognize the divine inspiration of the Gospel and understand it to be the Bible of Salvation. (pdc 109)
(28:3)
3. How do you know you are not following a false prophet from the Devil? common: Oh, Baha'is don't believe in the devil. We believe that evil is just the absence of good. better: The Bible tells us that "there is no truth in him (the devil)" (joh 8:44) and all Baha'is believe in the Sonship and Divinity of Jesus, so Baha'is 'can't' be following the devil.
