\u00a0William Miller, the American researcher, author, speaker, critic and Christian Protestant priest was born in Middlesbrough, Kentucky the U.S.A. On Dec, 12, 1892 A.D. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In 1919 A.D., he received his M.S. degree from Princeton university and received his Ph.D. degree in theology from Washington Valley. Since 1919 A.D., had was dispatched to Iran as the Christian missioner by Presbyterian Church to proselytize Christianity and resided in Mashhad city for a long time. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Due to his long residence in Iran, Mashhad<\/a>, he had social intercourse with Babis and Baha\u2019is and became familiar with Bahaism leaders\u2019 teachings, books, and thoughts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Observing the deceptive proselytizing activities of Bahaism in Europe and America, he decided to expose the realities gained by Babi and Baha\u2019i history and their teachings regarding much data which he had found in Bahaism in Iran. Having extensive data, he could display the reality of Babism and Baha\u2019ism movement and reveal Bahaism tricks for thinkers and truth-seekers.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Miller considers Babism and Bahaism<\/a> <\/span>as a cult and religious-political cult and movement. He considers the historical books published by the Baha\u2019i organization as deviated and believes that the existent Baha\u2019i books have been revised, deviated and censored regarding the day transformations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Miller believes that the real successor of Bab is Mirza Yahya Sobhi Azal entitled \u201cSobhi Azal\u201d whose brother could usurp his position using an exact planning and coup.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Miller has criticized Abdul Baha and Shoqi Effendi, the successor of Bahaullah. He believes that the Baha\u2019i leaders\u2019 teachings are the ones adapted by the previous holy books of the Iranian culture and common dialogues in the west during 19th<\/sup> and 20th<\/sup> centuries. According to him, the Baha\u2019i leaders even couldn\u2019t establish unity and friendship among the members of their nuclear families with the teachings. <\/strong>Total contrast between Bahaison and Christianity from Miller’s point of view:\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Baha\u2019is claim for Bahaullal to be the returning of the Excellency Jesus (P.H.) and Bahaism completes Christianity. Even, it is claimed that a person who is exactly acting based on Jesus Christ teachings, he\/she will be a Baha\u2019i. (Miller 1931 A.D., p. 140). This is Abdul Baha\u2019s statement repeatedly stated in America. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In his article entitled: Can a christian person be a Baha\u2019i? He writes in chapter 12 of his old book called “Bahaism, its origin historyt and teachings, 1931:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 “According to the Baha’i leaders, being a Baha’i has necessities and preconditions whose acceptance are impossible for a Christian person. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 To be a Baha’i, it is not enough to accept Bahaullah or Abdul Baha’s principles and teachings such as the universal peace, the general unique language, the equality between men and women and the like, but the person must accept all writings and teachings issued by Bab and Bahaullah and Abdul Baha without any condition and must clearly and absolutely obey Shogi Effendi and the Baha’i organization. While no Christian person can accept the conditions of being Baha’i unless he\/she makes him\/herself prepared to quit all Christian principles and beliefs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I present in brief the Babi and Baha\u2019i beliefs and teachings which a Christian person can accept and what a Christian accept person can’t:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I) In Baha\u2019i beliefs, Jesus has been substituted by Bahaullah. According to a Baha’i, the Jesus Christ\u2019s (P.H.) teachings are not decongestant for the people of the world anymore. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bahaism puts Jesus aside and says a word from Bahaullah is sweater than the collection of words a good tidings of all previous prophets. Bahaullah’s speech is the pure gold; while the teachings of previous prophets were nothing but iron and wood! (Miller, 1931 A.D. P.183). Consequently, Jesus Christ’s teachings are violated and nobody is oblidged to execute them. This Aghdas book and other Baha’i writings must be the law dominating on humane community for the next thousand ty for Years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bahaullah and Jesus Christ are equal just in one thing that like Jesus Christ Bahaullah has claimed for carrying the divine message. If Jesus’s message and claim is real and right, so Bahaullah will be one of false prophets who have been introduced in chapter 24 of the Bible and if Bahaullah’s claim is right, so Jesus will be doubtful to be right. A person who is claiming for Christianity and Bahaism as equal and the same has had slight knowledge about Bahaism and Christianity.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0II) Bahdullah confirms polygamy and he himself has had and lived with three wives at the same wives and has had kids from all of them and many Bahai’s from Iran have had more than a wife obeying and following their leader.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0III) Bahaism considers assassinating and killing its opponents allowable. None of the deceptive statements of Bahaullah can remove the indecency of this allowance; because in such cases the action language is more eloquent than tongue. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0IV) The Baha’is killed the Azalis and the followers of Abbas Effendi threatened and murdered Muhammad Ali Effendi\u2019s followers ( Abdul Baha’s brother). Such murders never happened by the Christians during the first century of the emergence of Christianity; because Jesus Christ forbade using sword. Now, how have the Baha’is behaved with their opponents differently?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Anyway, the mentioned above action is indicating the weakness in the Baha’is reasoning concerning claiming for the speech influence of the source of emergence of one of the reasons for him to be divine,<\/strong> because Bahaullah couldn’t prevent his close relatives to murder several followers of his brother Sobhi Azal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0V) Bahaism has ignored and rejected other facts, belieff and teachings of Christianity. Bahaism rejects all miracles of Jesus Christ and considers them as allegories.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It is obvious that most of Chistian teachings have been applied by the Baha’i proselytizers as the Baha\u2019i teachings in the west. Thus, it can be said that most of what is called Bahaism is in fact teaching borrowed from Chastianity.<\/strong><\/p>\n
