"The gift of God to this enlightened age is the knowledge of the oneness of mankind and of the fundamental oneness of religion. War shall cease between nations, and by the will of God the Most Great Peace shall come; the world will be seen as a new world, and all men will live as brothers."
Abdu'l-Baha1

"O my God! O my God! Unite the hearts of Thy servants, and reveal to them Thy great purpose. May they follow Thy commandments and abide in Thy law. Help them, O God, in their endeavor, and grant them strength to serve Thee. O God! Leave them not to themselves, but guide their steps by the light of Thy knowledge, and cheer their hearts by Thy love. Verily, Thou art their Helper and their Lord."
Bahá’u’lláh2

In "Writing in Snow" Open in new Window. " Poem, Gratitude List, Aricle Series to Read" Open in new Window., I listed four article series, on BahaiTeachings.crg  Open in new Window., that I started and want to finish. Last night, before going to sleep, I went to the beginning of the series Indigenous Messengers of God  Open in new Window., and read the first two articles. I read Native American Messengers of God  Open in new Window. and Quetzalcoatl, the “Plumed Serpent”  Open in new Window. both by Christopher Buck. Today I read article 41 Why Baha’is Respect Indigenous Sacred Traditions  Open in new Window. by Christopher Buck and Kevin Locke. It's possible that I should have begun with the first article and read them in the order they were written. However, that isn't the way I beg reading them, so I will continue reading them in this way.


The series of articles on BahaiTeachings.crg  Open in new Window. I'm reading.

*BulletB* The Existence of the Human Soul  Open in new Window.
*BulletB* The Baha'i Model of Penology  Open in new Window.
*BulletB* Indigenous Messengers of God  Open in new Window.
*Bulletb*God Speaks Again  Open in new Window.

As a Baha'i I accept the common foundation of all religions, and that each religion was sent by God through a series of Divine Messengers or Manifestations. Some of the Manifestations of God that were known to me before beginning Indigenous Messengers of God  Open in new Window. are Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Krishna, Zoroaster, Jesus, Muhammad, The Bab, and Baha'u'llah. Since starting to read this series I have discovered White Buffalo Calf Woman, Deganawida, Sweet Medicine, Lone Man, Breathmaker, Quetzalcoatl, and Viracocha. I'm looking forward to discovering other Indigenous Messengers of God.

"O God, Who art the Author of all Manifestations, the Source of all Sources, the Fountainhead of all Revelations, and the Wellspring of all Lights! I testify that by Thy Name the heaven of understanding hath been adorned, and the ocean of utterance hath surged, and the dispensations of Thy providence have been promulgated unto the followers of all religions."
Baha’u’llah3

In a passage from Gleanings From the Writings of Baha'u'llah (page 145), Baha'ullah tells us the God has sent Messengers to every nation and city on Earth. I take this includes the Indigenous Messengers of God. This is joyful news because it answers a question I ask when I was a child in a Southern Baptist Sunday School. I ask, "What about the people who were born before Christ? Will they go to heaven?" The teach never did give me a satisfying answer. I had to wait until I was an adult and discovered the scriptures revealed by Baha'u'llah to get the answer.
