I will make this the last posting on this thread and my next post will be at a new thread, as advised. I am generally familiar with the Christian one-way story and have been for over 50 years. Some go for it and some don't. I will close this section with a beautiful prayer:
______________________________
All praise, O my God, be to Thee Who art the Source of all glory and majesty, of greatness and honor, of sovereignty and dominion, of loftiness and grace, of awe and power.  Whomsoever Thou willest Thou causest to draw nigh unto the Most Great Ocean, and on whomsoever Thou desirest Thou conferrest the honor of recognizing Thy Most Ancient Name.  Of all who are in heaven and on earth, none can withstand the operation of Thy sovereign Will. From all eternity Thou didst rule the entire creation, and Thou wilt continue for evermore to exercise Thy dominion over all created things.  There is none other God but Thee, the Almighty, the Most Exalted, the All-Powerful, the All-Wise.
     Illumine, O Lord, the faces of Thy servants, that they may behold Thee; and cleanse their hearts that they may turn unto the court of Thy heavenly favors, and recognize Him Who is the Manifestation of Thy Self and the Day-Spring of Thine Essence. Verily, Thou art the Lord of all worlds.  There is no God but Thee, the Unconstrained, the All-Subduing.
                         (Baha'u'llah:  Prayers and Meditations, Pages: 94-97)

Dear 'Sincere Heart,'

To answer briefly your two questions. Firstly, I was drawn to your site since I was raised in the Christian Faith from the years 1944 to 1959. In 1959 at the age of 15 I joined the Baha'i Faith, a Faith which accepts the virgin birth, the holiness of Christ and His redemptive role in history among a wide range of other teachings which make me in many ways a Christian, in some respects the same sort of way a Christian has a Jewish base. Feel free to find out more about the Baha'i Faith at a multitude of sites on the internet. (www.bahai.org; Planet Bahai, among other sites)

If you feel that it is inappropriate from your perspective for me not to be at your site, I am happy to exit and with no inharmony, understanding and accepting your decision. I am not at your site to cause any dissention or difficulties, just engage in dialogue with people who believe and are interested in religious questions from a Christian position.
