The Bahai perspective of "the way" pays respect to all the Spiritual Traditions of the world whose Prophets or Teachers have given beautiful and goodly fruits.
The Christian perspective of "the way" has oppressed indigenous spiritual and sacred heritage, and resulted in indigenous oppression leading to a generation upon generation loss of identity amongst the indigenous.
The Christian perspective has tried to extinguish diversity of sacred tradition.
The Christian perspective injects words such as "last of all" into verses such as Hebrews 1:1 where no translation has those words in this verse to maintain this sense of superiority.
The Christian perspective says that "full revelation was brought by His Son" knowing full well that the Spirit of Truth (not the Son) will guide us unto all truth.
How well is Christianity doing in changing humanity into Gods image?
Wafflehead shared earlier in this thread a wonderful post about how inadequate "love thy neighbour" is as a means to change humanity into Gods image.
The Gospel is the same.
The application needs to change.
God does not change, but He desires us to uncover His mysteries by uncovering the mysteries of the universe.
As we uncover and apply the complexities of the universe, our relationships and arrangements change.
The Gospel is the same
The application needs to change.
God doesn't endorse human sacrifice today, but God endorsed many strange things in the Old Testament.
Why do you not speak out to the genocide and human genital mutilation found in the Old Testament?
God communicates with us today through the Holy Spirit? .....and we have every church on earth saying it's found there.
I prefer to follow the Word of God revealed by Prophet who's given us fruits that have changed the world for the better.
Many say His impact is Christ-like.
If Gods overall redemptive plan is ongoing, then Jesus's work is not finished. And as you correctly say, affirming what I had said. The work of God extends BEYOND the work of Jesus in His first coming. As you say "....Gods overall plan isn't considered complete until future prophecied events occur"
Conclusion. Gods work extends beyond the work done by Jesus and His so called "last of all"
You are waiting for a "beyond all known reality" event for creation to reach its ultimate purpose.
The Bahai community is building creation's ultimate purpose,through the incredible and sustaining power of the Holy Spirit emanating from the Revelation of Baha'u'llah
