Prove I'm here day and night. Evidence? You're grasping for anything now, resorting to ad hominem tactics and personal jabs. My first post here still holds. This thread is actually serving the reverse of your original goal
pat yourself on the back.pj
LA, do you believe in little green men from Mars?
I'll bet Letsargue does!

fanaticism debunked
fanaticism debunked
~*~*~
It ought to be clear to those of honest inquiry, that the charge of fanaticism or cultism is a false one, at least concerning myself....since as an 'eclectic' I'm a student and investigator of many different religious traditions, spiritual paths and philosophies. One can choose to identify with or practice within the protocols of any given tradition, as well as change their orientation at any time as life leads.
The Urantia Book is as free and open a book as any other, a collection of information subject to interpretation, having meaning and value according to its own consistency, integrity and context, a work of cooperation between earthly and heavenly components. One cannot properly judge a part of the book or the whole without first reading it for themselves, to personally discover its meaning or value. Since its such a large volume, one can start with a section that interests them, and go from there. See: Index.
It's just information.
My first post here stands.
The one charching others as fanatics may be the true fanatic, unbeknownst to himself. A much more sane route would be to investigate the subject more properly, being intellectually honest with the data, then engaging an intelligent discussion of the subjects. Can GM manage that? His posts will continue to answer that question.
Enjoy,

Most people don't spend much time in investigating a pile of manure, and that's what the urantia book is. I'm willing to spend enough time to avoid stepping in it, and that's about all.
Wise decision!
Total depravity is a heinous concept denying a lot of things inherently provided by God and Nature

Men always misunderstood God when they do everyday thinking that can't stop.
I really meant:
--------------------------------
" The perfect Dao is without difficulty, save that it avoids picking
and choosing. Only when you stop liking and disliking will all be
clearly understood. A split hair's difference, and heaven and earth
are set apart! If you want to get the plain truth, be not concerned
with right and wrong. The conflict between right and wrong is the
sickness of the mind."
--------------------------
The never-learning GM is filled with LOTS of black matter.
Karma is a type of black matter that is the opposite of virtue. In Buddhism it is called sinful karma, while here we call it karma. So, we call doing bad things “producing karma.” Karma is produced by a person’s doing wrong in this life or in past lives. For instance, killing, taking advantage of others, infringing upon others’ interests, gossiping about someone behind his or her back, being unfriendly to someone, and so on can all create karma. In addition, some karma is passed on from ancestors, family and relatives, or close friends. When somebody throws punches at someone else, he also throws his white matter over to the other person, and the vacated area in his body is then filled with the black matter. Killing is the worst evildoing—it is wrong and will generate heavy karma. Karma is the primary factor that causes sickness in people. Of course, it doesn’t always manifest in the form of sickness—it can also manifest as running into problems and the like. All of these things are karma at work. So practitioners must not do anything bad. Any misconduct will result in negative influences that will seriously impact your cultivation.

Quite obviously, those who claim that they're seeking God, but fall for cultish nonsense like the UB, simply aren't doing so whole-heartedly.
"And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart."
God doesn't lie. He said that one would FIND Him, when they would seek Him with ALL of their heart.
"And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart."
God doesn't lie. He said that one would FIND Him, when they would seek Him with ALL of their heart.
Right, He didn't lie. Man did seek Him but it only last a second. They all returned to thier naturalness in a second.

The papers teach the highest principles and values of truth, goodness and beauty. Having not read the papers, your demeaning estimation of them is unfounded. To devalue a work expounding the truest and highest values of philosophy and religious living, is disingenuous.

Indwelling God.....
Indwelling God.....
Indeed, for the universal law is the karmic compensation of all thoughts, words and deeds, as each reaps what is sown.
Life is for learning.
Truth is ever present, no matter what form, context or language it is represented in.
Gratefully, the indwelling spirit of God within is a faithful guide, inner light, divine adjuster of thought ....orienting us along the true path.

Are you a part time Christian, part time cultist, and a part time oddball? Just wondering?

Did you ever consider the principles of truth, beauty and goodness being universal?
Is God an omnipresent reality?

WHAT??
GM is happy to confess that he no longer is communicating
with cultists; Freelight and Caino (banned) I have both of
those fanatics on permanent ignore! They both had an
opportunity to make good sense, and failed miserably!
