Hi Larry,
If you were to interpret His words in such a literalistic manner, I
suppose that would be true, but it misses Baha'u'llah's point. He is
not talking about those who have never even had a chance to become
acquainted with Him or His Message. What He is saying is that a person
who truly loves the light will recognize it in whatever lamp it
appears. Otherwise they are wor****pping the lamp, not the light and
that is idolatry.
