Investigate all................. Investigate all................. Investigating 'Non-duality' is an even more simple direct path to reality, especially via 'Self-inquiry' as taught by Ramana Maharshi Here. Other religious varities, cultures, traditions and theological structures have their...

Just like other organizations or denominations,....all designed by men. God can work thru men, after all....what other channels does He have? Yes, a spiritual community of Spirit-born and awakened souls. Such souls may belong to any number of denominations or even religious traditions. Isn't...

always more to learn...... always more to learn...... I was speaking above from the context and view of non-duality, where there is only the allness and omnipresence of 'God'. What is 'omnipresent' is everywhere present, nowhere absent. Consider the allness of God. All means 'all'. This...

The enhancing value of the UB The enhancing value of the UB Your 'equations' above do not apply to the UB...unless you can provide specific examples beyond a general assumption based on religious bias and/or ignorance, or a good mix thereof. The UB stands for light, truth, and life,....in...

inspired creativity............ inspired creativity............ Imagination is a 'key' I think that opens one's creative vision or receptivity to the Spirit-world, the dimensions beyond...since it facilitates creation wherein inspiration flows or expands one's awareness. What is 'God' but the...

Enlightenment can be yours........ Enlightenment can be yours........ Indeed, " we have met the enemy and he is us". "We are our own worse enemy" could also apply - with this in mind, it might be more wise to pluck the weeds from our own garden, conquer the false-concepts and idols of truth...

There is something about 'timing' which is interesting, - spiritual receptivity, true yearning, real desire,...which must coordinate with the soul's rhythm and divine inspiration. pj

be of good cheer..... be of good cheer..... All you do is demonize and denigrate. Until you read and understand the what the UB is all about, you might be better suited to judge it, but that would also take lots of religious deprogramming first. Oh btw.....Merry Christmas! pj

brass tacks brass tacks Note: 'according to Paul' ;) I dont see an attempt to water anything down but to present a more 'reasonable' portrayal of God the Father, the God of Jesus. Earlier concepts of men of 'God', did not quite meet the mark. What do you find unreasonable in Jesus'...

The words of Jesus as paraphrased in the UB and corraborated by the gospels, will indeed stand,....as any true religious principles in any other volumes of inspired writings as well. Continuing to denigrate the UB from your ignorance of its teachings does not discount the work, but your learning...

You apparently forgot to read the text of what Jesus was saying about the OT. Review again. Pretty important. Also did you forget that Jesus taught the crowds with parables, and then in 'private' revealed their meaning to his disciples, as it was given to them to know the mysteries of the...

the rock of revelation....... the rock of revelation....... Of course the issue of Petrine supremacy or authority has been challenged elsewhere, and that Jesus was referring to the 'spiritual revelation' and 'Presence' of the Father could be easily assumed, in the context. The recognition...

quintessential being quintessential being I see 'God' as the common denominator of all, as 'God' is the original, primal and universal reality, the source-potential of all conditions of existence, in time and eternity. The UB has its own wonderful terms and sub-structuring of all levels of...

holy concern...... holy concern...... All the points are pertinent and quite appropriate :Patrol: The UB stands on its own (reject it or accept it, parts or whole), and its cosmology is quite wonderful, on its own merits, associative values and universe-meanings. I find most interest in its...

important points...... important points...... God is the Father of all. This is part of the goodnews of the kingdom from a Jesusonian (UB) perspective....which heralds the 'Fatherhood of God and brotherhood of Man'. Every soul is a child of God, and the title of 'God' as the 'Universal...

One Love Eternal..... One Love Eternal..... No worries DR :) Its a massive volume with many wonderful parts, some parts dont really interest me, but others certainly hold their own, on a cosmological/philosophical scale. Its a fascinating work. I may be more eclectic than Caino in my...

truth is truth............. truth is truth............. This is more than a matter of which book is better or more accurate. Truth is truth, no matter what venue, language or religious clothing it wears. We look to the eternal germ, value or meaning within the teaching, its principle. - this...

Yes, and the NT books have had their share of 'reformatting' in the canonization process, not to mention some books being 'pseudographical' with ommissions, interpolations and an uncertainty if some words were even spoken by Jesus(or other apostles) or might be atributed by tradition or heresay...

personal research..... personal research..... Have you read any significant part of the Urantia Papers to make an honest analysis of it? I recommend the first 12 papers for its foundational cosmology, then you can move onto parts that interest you...expanding on its theology, soteriology...

The Universal Father...... The Universal Father...... The Spirit of the Lord is available to all who are open to receive from that universal Spirit. The Urantia Book or any other inspired writings from our planets religious traditions to modern day transmissions may be more or less inspired...
