Fundamental verities
From Bahai9
Letters[edit]
No absolute list of fundamental verities[edit]
"...there is no absolute list of fundamental verities and the friends should not make an issue of this matter by attempting to codify these verities."
- (On behalf of the Universal House of Justice, at https://bahai-library.com/uhj_fundamental_verities )
Fundamentals of Religions[edit]
"The fundamentals of all divinely-instituted religions cannot be rigidly classified. No definite or exhaustive list of them can be set up, as we have no means of ascertaining that what we consider to be those fundamentals are common to all such religions."
- (From a letter written on behalf of the Guardian to an individual believer, July 10, 1939, in Lights of Guidance, no. 1702)
Meaning of "Verities of the Faith"[edit]
"By 'verities of the Faith' he means the great teachings and fundamentals enshrined in our Bahá’í literature; these we can find by reading the books, studying under Bahá’í scholars at summer schools and in classes, and through the aid of study outlines."
- (From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer, April 19, 1947, in Lights of Guidance, no. 1612)
