    The entire faith system is not in any way reliant on 1844. 1844 confirms the faith system, which shows up the contradictions in Christian thinking, not Bahai thinking.

    Tell me which part is incorrect.

    1. Jesus came for humanity's salvation

    2. Salvation is reliant on faith in Jesus Christ

    3. Faith in Jesus Christ alone while I live my day to day life as a paedophile does not give me salvation.

    4. Therefore salvation requires me to live my life in accordance to teachings found in the Bible. Be a good dad, be a good husband, be a good neighbour etc etc. Don't be abusive, don't be racist, don't be sexist, don't be lustful, don't be materialistic etc etc

    5. To be good, as per point 4 above in a Christian way has given my community tremendous suffering.

    6. Are you therefore saying that the suffering caused by the apathy and neglect of the Church in my community for centuries actually does lead to salvation?

    Not caring about the suffering of my community leads to salvation?
    (and no I'm not saying this happens in EVERY community but the church has had 2000 years of practice to do it, and this happens in many many communities I have served in and observed with my own eyes)

    Now that's a contradiction.
