I have been studying the world's major religions (Judaism, Christianity and
Islam) tonight and have realized they are all different paths to God and
were all started by messengers from God. Each messenger was foretold in the
Jewish sacred writings. When I read Bahai books they say Bahaullah was the
promised one foretold in all religions who would unite all religions. Which
verses in the Bible or Koran foretell Bahaullah?

That's easy: None.

No passage in Jewish, Christian, or Muslim scriptures provides either
a clear prediction or a coded message that specifies Baha'u'llah as a
magic man who would unite all religions. In fact, none of those
scriptures specifies unity of religion to be a worthwhile goal. The
Quran specifically rejects the idea, declaring that Islam is not for
all people.

It's time to grow up and get to work real world issues, and to cease
hoping for some magic formula that will mysteriously make all of our
troubles vanish and make everybody the same. Nobody is going to bring
the religions of the world together. They're going to have to do that
themselves.

I haven't been able to find any yet I found passages in the Bible that could
have foretold Muhammad. The idea of all religions working in harmony is
nice. I mean they worship the same God, just in different ways. Why can't
they just get over their differences? I blame the Christian dogma and Muslim
dogma.

They are all different paths indeed.

The God of the Koran is very much incompatible with the God of the New
Testament. And the God of the Old Testament does not instruct people
to kill all the Jews.

If the differences were trivial, they could.
If Moslems would accept the Trinity, they could.
If Christians could abandon the core of their religion, the
Resurrection, then maybe you could unite the religions.

But then you would no longer have any of these religions.
And if Baha'is could recant the doctrine of progressive revelation,
maybe we could all discuss what sets each religion to be unique, and
perhaps solve some differences there.
