Choosing life..................... Choosing life..................... It is interesting however where current streams of 'progressive Christianity' may go, perhaps more towards the 'Jesusonian' path? ;) Indeed,....and how could it be otherwise, since God is a loving, forgiving Heavenly...

Its all an adventure of consciousness........ Its all an adventure of consciousness........ Very profound with the extended vocabulary.... ;) I would gather you might encourage that 'full potential of exploring the furthest reaches of consciousness' within your own soul, by which you may...

Indeed,.....living one's own religion is 'natural', as its led and guided by Spirit, for such is the way of life. The Spirit itself is life; wherever the Spirit of God is (abides)....there is liberty. pj

Again, we have a sound, logical, reasonable observation and proposition concerning a spiritual renewal of authentic 'Christianity', which the entirety of the papers, especially Part 4 on the life and teachings of Jesus clearly presents and encourages, with every human and divine resource at hand...

Comprehend first, then you can criticize....... Comprehend first, then you can criticize....... Jumping the gun again I see. See my former posts to you. If you will read the article you 'spammed' again here, you'll get a better insight in how the papers portray Jesus, with emphasis on the...

open to consider possibilities..... open to consider possibilities..... Caino appears to be more exclusively devoted to the Fifth Epochal Revelation, fundamentally....rather then a more eclectic approach that I take, for it is clear he believes its presentation of Jesus gospel as the most...

expanding consciousness........ expanding consciousness........ I've been sharing an intelligent, informed and relatively accurate portrayal of the contents in the Urantia papers here in the thread so far,....relating such to other religious ideals, principles and correlating mythologies. I...

Divine truth and beauty............... Divine truth and beauty............... Your dilemma is a frozen preconception or assumption of what 'truth' is, a 'belief' you've accepted, by tradition or indoctrination. Taking chances on that 'assumption' isn't very responsible as far as researching...

The divine will...... The divine will...... Interesting to see an emphasis upon one's will....being God's will, they being essentially one or united as one. This inspiring will motivates the soul to fulfill that very will, in thought, word and deed. Another emphasis of the papers is Jesus...

Open to explore................ Open to explore................ People 'cherry pick' the Bible 24-7, each 'denomination' or 'person' using it to support their own differing 'theories', 'doctrines', etc. I said that 'tongue in cheek', since I was considering the more fundamental teachings as...

Addressing ................. Addressing ................. Ah, cherry picking I see. I suggested GM read Part 4 to see what Jesus is recorded to have taught (mostly about the kingdom of God and salvation), how much of it agrees with the gospels, while expanding on much more. His teachings...

the kingdom...... the kingdom...... If you'd like to learn and consider what Jesus teaches concerning the kingdom of God from the papers, go here. Read and learn, then you can engage a proper discussion on the subject. Are you willing to do that much, for the sake of a genuine dialogue? pj

Truth omnipresent................ Truth omnipresent................ Its a beautiful thing that the religion of the spirit leaves you forever free to follow the truth wherever the leadings of the spirit may take you. This 'truth' is not limited to only one 'book', 'cult', 'religious tradition'...

really......... really......... They say if you stick your fingers in your ears, and repeat the same mantra over and over again, you'll start believing that mantra. Such is the case. The burden of proof that you have yet to prove, is showing that the UB is a 'work of fiction', and that its...

This statement shows you haven't a clue what the papers teach, and are just a troll here. That's what your posts prove so far. pj

Read with understanding, spiritual insight, desire to learn...... Read with understanding, spiritual insight, desire to learn...... Have you ever read the gospels, NT, etc.? The concept of the kingdom of God which includes the theme of the 'Fatherhood of God and brotherhood of Man', is it...

reality checks...... reality checks...... You cant judge something you haven't read and honestly considered, - a reading of at least the first 12 papers is essential to laying down a fundamental cosmology of the nature of God, existence, creation and the plan of eternal progression and...

claims of fiction.............. claims of fiction.............. Can you share what exactly is fictional within the UB? Carefully consider all 2,000 pages (near abouts), its a large and extensive work. Also look up 'fiction' in the dictionary....its a tall order to claim the entire work is a...

Moving along...... Moving along...... We might also note that the pastorals are pseudographical anyways,...later installments into the canon reflecting church developments in the 2nd century. Beyond a 'thus saith the Lord' in the OT, or an otherwise overt 'claim' of divine inspiration of a...

opening our consciousness Godward....... opening our consciousness Godward....... Hi GM, Can you prove that all that God had/has to say is only contained in a canonized book (last codified in the 3rd/4th century as an 'approved collection' by the church-state)? Can you limit or qualify what...
