These concepts are descriptive of spiritual attributes in this world and journeys through other worlds. Your ignorance of the Baha'i writings and beliefs as a whole are a barrier from a archaic Christian perspective where these things are a literal reality.אָכֵ֕ן אַתָּ֖ה אֵ֣ל מִסְתַּתֵּ֑ר אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃

I honestly don't know how you have the patience to deal with him though, or why you bother wasting time on him. I admit that it's entertaining to watch, but years of experience at this point ought to be enough to show you that he's sort of locked into his own head, unable and unwilling to discuss anything rationally and honesty. I can only imagine that you're incredibly bored, and find him an enjoyable distraction. I'm often reminded of a cat toying with a mouse for amusement.
It also seems that he underestimates your own academic background. That your point of view on a lot of the material that the two of you go over isn't simply from a lay perspective, as he seems to believe, but from a scholastic one. It's not really relevant to this thread, but I am interested in your academic qualifications. I think I remember you saying in the past that you were trained in NT scholarship at a Catholic seminary, or that you were a monk at one point or something, but that you are no longer associated with the field of NT scholarship professionally. I can understand wanting to keep some of that private, so forgive me for prying. Just curious as I said.

All these issues have been addressed. The vindictive arrogant 10,000 monkeys on typewriters continues.
If you were an atheists arguing against the Theism of Christianity, Islam and the Baha'i Faith, then your argument would have some consistency, but at present it is a hypocritical argument of throwing stones from a glass house.
