Be careful with the MONEY MAKERS, those scams are using sacred books to swindle people. You just need to read with you spirit mind and you don't need false teachers or prophets for profit.
Feeling you people. when i read the last part of the Spirit of Truth that remained i got a cell phone call from a number that didnt exist. Iam pretty positive my midway friend has been sending me messages that come true. They led me to this book through a journey of years.Blows my mind after stepping back and putting the pieces together.Glory to the Christ. If only they knew.
Giving a realistic approach to the reality of time, pertaining to historical events on this planet has been a factor in showing me the truth of this book as fact and dependable, never before has a book taken me to a higher level of consciousness and self realization that God is in me.
"Mr. Boston's Mixed Drink Guide" could be a religious text, if you put it at the center of your religion. The UB was NOT meant to be the center of a religion, that's why I say it is not a religious text. It is NOT a "Word of God". Just the fact that it talks about God doesn't make it religious. With the username: "thinkjesus" it is likely you will argue against what I'm saying. That's ok.
the correct gospel of Jesus is contained in the urantia book. if it is the "essence" and "hope" of "all religions".. then how can it not be a religion itself?
The Urantia Book refers to itself as an "Epochal Revelation." The UB sites four previous revelations. For example, the life of Jesus was the fourth epochal revelation according to TUB. The book itself is purportedly the Fifth Epochal Revelation (FER) and students of the Urantia Papers sometimes use this term. But to the best of my knowledge, the book does not claim to be the "correct gospel."
Definitely not "better". But, it is an profound expansion of the information contained in the Bible. There is even a 'paramony' that tells the similarities between the two books. Also, the UB is not a religious text. You can think of it as 'cosmic philosophy'.
What organization is there other than the one that published it? lol...
And what ideas differ from one to another? Its a book with all the ideas written, and with no need for interpretation, except into simpler vocabulary.
Several publishers have printed the UB. The Urantia Foundation and Uversa Press are two. There are other electronically published versions. They are also identical textually, as you suggest.
I don't think that I indicated in any way that their were different VERSIONS of the UB.
Oh yes! It would be hard to comb through such complexity here. There is also a very interesting history behind the reason WHY there are so many publishers now. I suggest reading "A History of the Urantia Papers: Books: Larry Mullins and Meredith Justin Sprunger," at Amazon. Bear in mind that the Uranita Foundation DID edit the book over several editions. Some say this changed the meaning in certain sections.
I must say, I'm not really part of a Urantia group. I choose to read and interpret the book. I also rely strongly on my intuition to tell me what is true and not true throughout the book. I have very strong gut feelings telling me that the parts about Jesus are true. Where I don't feel a whole lot is in the sciences section, though beautifully written, I don't feel it from there.
I'm also not affiliated with any organization. I can related to your intuitions. Just finished the audio version of the UB, nice alternate way to study--especially the Jesus Papers--POWERFUL.
Also not with a group. But after years of study in many different areas, my gut tells me this book is ALL true. Frankly, an epochal revelation as it claims.
I do happen to know that the book was edited by PEOPLE, therefore I MUST rely on intuition to tell what is true and what isn't. My intuition tells me its definitely not 100% true, though I beleve around 90-95% is true.
My perspective is similar to yours, hellomate639. I have read the Urantia Book from cover to cover twice and nearly so a third time. There is much, especially in the science related material which doesn't quite add up. Indeed, TUB doesn't even follow it's own stated limitations of revelation very well when it comes to the science related material. Of course, the science and cosmology aspect of TUB is "uninspired" and subject to change according to the book itself.
Excellent point about the science. There are some devoted readers who believe that non-UB science is still "catching up" to the UB. I do NOT agree. Sometimes I feel that I am in the minority with that opinion.
@rhermen I Agree. I've been amazed at many instances of science catching up to TUB but it would be much easier to establish it's authenticity if it were infallible. So is there any way it may be authentic even if it contains errors? Well, maybe. One possiblility may be that the revelators used accurate science only when it had already found human expression, even when that correct view was contrary to prevalent theory. That might be the metric to which they had to adhere. Just a thought.
Thanks for posting such a positive message. Unity isn't the same as uniformity, thank God. When we put the Father's will first, we can find unity with all who seek God, regardless if we accept everything they believe or not. Everything we don't get here will be remedied in the next world we live in. (or in the next, or however many it takes (-;)
UBRON allows its site to be used as a podium for hate speech against all Arabs, Muslims, and Islam under the specious argument that all those who post should moderate themselves. Kind of like allowing someone to come into your home and call your neighbor that is there too by some racial slur and to attack them with hate speech and then turn to one's poor guest and say, "Sorry, it is up to your attacker to govern himself, I can't do anything."
Nice anagram! I have a question. Anyone can pick a book up and read it. Take for example Gabriel of Sedona example. He has a cult forming around the Urantia Book. Do you think that Urantia Book readers should seek unity (whaterver that means) with Gabriel of Sedona?
Personally my hope is for the Urantia Foundation and Urantia Fellowship to come back together (as they seem to be). Gabe--I'm not behind his participation but would welcome seeing any of his followers leave and join in the more general UB community. Good question.
what do you guys think? that the whole jesus thing was just a made up thing pertaining to ancient egyptian sun worship... and forget about what we think,all religions hold the the same philosophy,and it's all about the sun,and that's where all religion is born from?
Nice music (who is it?). Interesting illustrations. I am going to visit ubron dot org now in the hopes of finding some clearer samples of the visuals.
The Urantia Book was "transmitted" via a number of different techniques by various types of beings--non were "aliens". These beings were SUPERMORTAL (like "angels").
The book is extremely well-written, logical and multi-layered. The concepts can be difficult to comprehend sometimes, but the writing is fairly straight forward.
For a good objective history you can read "A History of the Urantia Papers" by Larry Mullins. Thanks for watching!
