Are Baha’is Worshiping God or The Son of God?
I was reading Baha’i prayers last night; surprisingly majority of the prayers are addressing Abdul Baha, not even Bahaullah or God. Even the prayers that has put together during Abdul Baha’s time, directly address him as a rescuer and savior.

Although Baha’is believe in:

THE WAY IS CLOSED AND SEEKING IS FORBIDDEN. (Abdul Baha Questions pg. 169)
And that is more astonishing to read Bahaullah boldly called himself God:
“Manifold and mysterious is My relationship with God I am He, Him himself, and He is I, Myself, except that I am that I am and He is that He is.â€
(p.66-67 GLEANINGS FROM THE WRITINGS OF BAHA’U’LLA’H)
