Heb. 1:1-2: " God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds."

Whenever a Bahá'í' finds a biblical passage that clearly states that Jesus will return at the end of the age in a way contrary to Bahá'u'lláh's arrival, the Bahá'í' simply dismiss it by saying we shouldn’t take the passage literally, its spiritual. So they change the meaning of it.

As Francis Beckwith points out on this method of interpreting biblical prophecy Bahá'í''s employ circular reasoning (in which the arguer assumes what he or she is trying to prove). Because the Bahá'í' accepts Bahá'u'lláh's claim to fulfill Christ's second coming, he (or she) thinks he is justified in interpreting biblical prophecies symbolically which, if taken literally, would disprove Bahá'u'lláh's claim, but if taken nonliterally can be used to prove it (Esslemont, 222-26; `Abdu'l-Baha, 110-12). Thus, probably without even realizing it, the Baha'i is assuming the very point that he is trying to prove in his citing of biblical prophecy. ("Bahá'í'-Christian Dialogue: Some Key Issues Considered" Christian Research Journal, Winter/Spring 1989, p.15 by Francis J. Beckwith.)

Abdu'l-Baha explains the meaning of the resurrection as: "The disciples were troubled and agitated after the martyrdom of Christ. The Reality of Christ, which signifies His teachings, His bounties, His perfections and His spiritual power, was hidden and concealed for two or three days after His martyrdom, and was not resplendent and manifest. NO, rather it was lost; for the believers were few in number and were troubled and agitated. The Cause of Christ was like a lifeless body, and, when after three days the disciples became assured and steadfast, and began to serve the Cause of Christ, and resolved to spread the divine teachings, putting His counsels into practice, and arising to serve Him, … His religion found life, His teachings and admonitions became evident and visible. In other words, the Cause of Christ was like a lifeless body, until the life and the bounty of the Holy Spirit surrounded (Ferraby, p. 178.) This is what the Jesus Seminar teaches, Christians consider them enemies of the truth of God. I hope no Bahai who has respect for Jesus would agree with them.

10 of the 11 apostles died horrendous deaths for a non- literal event! Each of the disciples faced the test of torture and martyrdom for his statements and beliefs. Are we to believe all 11 and thousands afterward died for what they know is only a symbolic teaching!

The explanation for the empty tomb by the disciples means absolutely nothing since Bahá'í believes it did not really happen. If the authorities had the body in their possession or knew where it was, why, when the disciples were preaching the resurrection in Jerusalem, didn't they explain, "Wait! We have Jesus see, He didn't rise from the grave?"

Such an action would have destroyed Christianity putting it to an immediate stop. But there was a very simple solution to their problem. All they had to do was explain to the people its not literal, he didn’t rise physically and stop getting so excited. The Bahá'í's unfortunately follow their Persian predecessors view in Islam by trying to explain away the resurrection. There is no way to change a literal event to a symbolic one to find a spiritual meaning in it. From conversing with them I found that they believe like the Jesus seminar, that the resurrection  was the whole Christian community raised up in belief, that there was no literal raising a physical body of Jesus from the dead.

There were at least 11 separately recorded appearances that shocked people. One of which Paul states 500 at one time had seen a resurrected man called Jesus.1 Cor.15:1-19.

The concept of raising from the dead ( resurrection) is not foreign to Judaic teaching II King 4:31-35; Isaiah 26:19; Hosea 13:14"I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death. Job 19:25-27; Dan. 12:2. Numerous prophetic books have mention of the resurrection, it is the main teaching in Judaism and was their hope. As Mary said to Jesus when he came for Lazarus who had been dead for 4 days, "I know he will be raised up on the last day." Bahá'í’s always change the original teachings of the major religions so they can amalgamate them together to make them  as if they agree. With this they unknowingly (some not) do violence against the resurrection and make even Christ a liar. All the eyewitnesses say, Jesus said this to them previously, so there should be no questioning to the clear statements of Jesus himself.

Matt. 17:22-23 Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men, 23 "and they will kill Him, and the third day He will be raised up." And they were exceedingly sorrowful.

Mark 10:33-34 "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death and deliver Him to the Gentiles; "and they will mock Him, and scourge Him, and spit on Him, and kill Him. And the third day He will rise again." Mark 14:28 "But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee."

Luke 9:22 saying, "The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day." John 21:13-14"Jesus then came and took the bread and gave it to them, and likewise the fish. This is now the third time Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He was raised from the dead."

They laid down their lives having complete confidence in the truth of their message. But the Bahai’s want everyone to believe they went around saying it was a spiritual event.

"The resurrections of divine manifestations are not of the body…his resurrection from the interior of the earth is also symbolic… like wise his ascension to heaven is a spiritual not material ascension." (Abdul Baha Questions, pp.199-120)

But when it comes to the 2^nd coming they change their position and say it is a literal event found in their new manifestation Bahá'u'lláh, only he didn’t come from heaven like Christ said he would.
