★ What about the Bayán? ★

Are Baháism and Bábism the same religion?

Yes.

Are Bahá'í texts, including the Íqán [the Certainty] and the Aqdas [the Divinity] parts of the Bayán [the Exegete]?

Also yes. The Cetainty, the Divinity, and their children are all limbs of the Exegete, and to be considered direct extensions of it. For the Gate needed a successor to finish what he had started. By contrast, the Qurán was a complete revelation and ordained no inheritor.

How are they distinguished from the Qurán [the Recitation]?

By proximity.

So they are part of the same revelation?

Yes.

What about discrepancies?

What discrepancies? Who cares. Just be nice to one another, or can you not get along? Reckon without using a Book as an intercessor. Hold nothing against one another. Seperate yourself from those who harm you and leave them unto their own ends. Or defend yourself against those who harm you and become their consequences. Keep your hands and your words to yourself unless you are pressed.

So by the logic of proximity, you would say that Mandaeism and Christianity are the same religion?

Isn't this where it gets exciting? Reconciliation is an easy thing.
