We are glad that you have brought to our attention the
questions perplexing some of the believers. It is much better for these
questions to be put freely and openly than to have them, unexpressed, burdening
the hearts of devoted believers. Once one grasps certain basic principles of
the Revelation of Bahá'u'lláh such uncertainties are easily dispelled. This is
not to say that the Cause of God contains no mysteries. Mysteries there are
indeed, but they are not of a kind to shake one's faith once the essential
tenets of the Cause and the indisputable facts of any situation are clearly
understood.
