Re: concerning Infallibility

Mason Remey's point was not that the 12 principles are invalid.  Rather, his
point was that the Baha'i Revelation is something far deeper than that.  The
current organization in Haifa has completely lost sight of the true verities
of the Faith.

The Baha'i Revelation is all about the establishment of a Divine Government
on Earth.  That Government is headed by the twin pillars of the living
Guardian and the Universal House of Justice.  That is the Kingdom and that
is the message of the Baha'i Faith.

Anything less than that is incapable of bringing about a spiritual world
civilization that God has promised.
