Reconcilation in a new light......... Reconcilation in a new light......... Here we see that 'sacrifice' includes olden forms of 'blood sacrifice', or 'atonement' by such means. As we learn later,....'loyalty relations' are what matter, as one's heart and will are 'loyal' to 'God'...or not...

Its your 'choosing'.......... Its your 'choosing'.......... Summary-points: In the Papers we find a definitive teaching on the sovereignty of free will, as it regards the condition and destiny of the individual soul as it exercises its 'free agency' within the liberties given by divine...

rising above religious bigotry rising above religious bigotry The Westboro Baptist Church is disgusting. That goes without saying. Lets focus on more positive values and principles that make for our enlightenment, peace and progress. Focusing on insanity is not the cure, recognizing it for...

Love is the healer....... Love is the healer....... I would think the Westborow folks really need Jesus. Love this! This agrees in some aspects with my own sentiments consonant with the 'Perennial Philosophy' :) There is One Ultimate Supreme Universal Truth at the Heart of all religious...

Hardly. What I've shared here stands. When have I ever claimed to have a 'religious belief', 'philosophy', or 'point of view 'better than anyone elses? A belief, or 'point of view' is just that. It may be fundamentally sound or subject to change. This is not a 'competition'. pj

kingdom of heaven kingdom of heaven Caino is just tired of the usual pop-Christianity that is stuck within a dogmatic-format and belief-system that assumes its the one and only 'truth' with no added progressive revelation....which your sentiment represents. Continually demeaning the UB as...

Progressive Revelation..... Progressive Revelation..... Readers here can investigate the dialogue and resource links to see what the Urantia Papers are all about for themselves. That's the beauty of free enterprise. The universal truths, ideals and principles expounded upon in the papers ever...

recap..... recap..... The UB agrees and upholds Jesus as the way, truth and life, after all He is the Creator-Son, and Sovereign Lord of this very universe. Jesus is wholly proclaimed with Part 4 being a most complete record of the life, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus. One has to...

The Tree of Life...... The Tree of Life...... Of interest to traditionalists, the UB teaches the 'tree of life' was 'real',...being transported from the higher worlds to Urantia for the purposes of sustaining the life-force and vitality of the ministers and sons of God sent here to serve and...

seasoned wisdom...... seasoned wisdom...... "Taste and see that the LORD is good" pj

The greater vision...... The greater vision...... This paraphrase above depicts the dialogue between Jesus and Peter well, for it was the 'mind' of Peter that was being 'satanic' for he was not minding the will of God, even though his sentiments were well-intended. It was this 'adversarial'...

the crux of the matter..... the crux of the matter..... What boggles me is how anyone cannot see the truth, principle and value of the above, which is the central theme and teaching of the UB, and reject it. - especially those who claim to be believers in this 'Jesus'. Furthermore are those...

Learning the teaching....... Learning the teaching....... Wrong. The Bible does NOT contain all the words, inspirations or totality of what God has revealed to his children, for the unfolding ministry of the Spirit of truth is never-ending, neither is all the truth of 'God' ONLY within one...
