It's faith-based, since we don't actually drink blood or eat flesh. The symbols are sanctified by our faith in God's Word, without which no one can come to Him.We have to be child-like to come to Him...<-----Gods Word is living, it is not a book idol, a golden calf, it is now present and available to these who sincerely desire to be lead by God.
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. <----like the trust of an unspoiled child in a parent, not the adoption of simple mindedness.
We have to sit under His Holy Word as a child without leaning to our own understanding but in all our ways acknowledging Him as our teacher, otherwise we just follow our own thoughts. It's when we listen to His Holy Word that faith comes alive in us.<------thats what the Jews told the people, using the false authority of their own written Word they rejected Jesus. It's when we subject ourselves to His Teaching as if we were little children that we have the right attitude (humility which is the currency of Heaven) that we come to Him as our Heavenly Father and learn from His Presence and His Might that we are His Beloved. When we exalt ourselves and our knowledge, we put that before Him and He doesn't want us to have any false gods before Him. He wants us all to Himself. Urantia teaches Jebus: a false god. The Holy Bible teaches us to come to The Lord and how to have a One-on-one relationship with Him. Urantia teaches that we are our own god. <-----bold face lie by one who obviously hasn't read the book... It brings The Bible down to less than nothing .<-----the UB exalts God above all else (including books about him written by racially biased holy men.)
