The Gospel of the Grace of God is in the Holy Bible - not the fabricated urantia cult garbage written in the 1900's. The REAL GOSPEL explains why Jesus Christ willingly went to the Cross and what changed at the Cross. The urantia cult garbage denies the REAL GOSPEL.

Amen! :thumb:
As comparative religion, UB readers realize where things began to go down hill. Christ Michael sent us his life story unadulterated, we know there was a gospel that Jesus preached to the Jews, before they tragically rejected their calling, before killing Jesus became the new gospel.
The Urantia Book
Paper 194
Bestowal of the Spirit of Truth
(2059.1) 194:0.1 ABOUT one o’clock, as the one hundred and twenty believers were engaged in prayer, they all became aware of a strange presence in the room. At the same time these disciples all became conscious of a new and profound sense of spiritual joy, security, and confidence. This new consciousness of spiritual strength was immediately followed by a strong urge to go out and publicly proclaim the gospel of the kingdom and the good news that Jesus had risen from the dead.
(2059.2) 194:0.2 Peter stood up and declared that this must be the coming of the Spirit of Truth which the Master had promised them and proposed that they go to the temple and begin the proclamation of the good news committed to their hands. And they did just what Peter suggested.
(2059.3) 194:0.3 These men had been trained and instructed that the gospel which they should preach was the fatherhood of God and the sonship of man, but at just this moment of spiritual ecstasy and personal triumph, the best tidings, the greatest news, these men could think of was the fact of the risen Master. And so they went forth, endowed with power from on high, preaching glad tidings to the people — even salvation through Jesus — but they unintentionally stumbled into the error of substituting some of the facts associated with the gospel for the gospel message itself. Peter unwittingly led off in this mistake, and others followed after him on down to Paul, who created a new religion out of the new version of the good news.
(2059.4) 194:0.4 The gospel of the kingdom is: the fact of the fatherhood of God, coupled with the resultant truth of the sonship-brotherhood of men. Christianity, as it developed from that day, is: the fact of God as the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, in association with the experience of believer-fellowship with the risen and glorified Christ.
(2059.5) 194:0.5 It is not strange that these spirit-infused men should have seized upon this opportunity to express their feelings of triumph over the forces which had sought to destroy their Master and end the influence of his teachings. At such a time as this it was easier to remember their personal association with Jesus and to be thrilled with the assurance that the Master still lived, that their friendship had not ended, and that the spirit had indeed come upon them even as he had promised.
(2059.6) 194:0.6 These believers felt themselves suddenly translated into another world, a new existence of joy, power, and glory. The Master had told them the kingdom would come with power, and some of them thought they were beginning to discern what he meant.
(2059.7) 194:0.7 And when all of this is taken into consideration, it is not difficult to understand how these men came to preach a new gospel about Jesus in the place of their former message of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of men.
Hi Charity, as a matter of comparative religions here in the religion section on TOL we can consider some other ideas about the cross from the UB:
The Urantia Book is really far-fetched fiction, but holds no Truth, obviously.
Good for you. Problem is: Jebus (the false god of the Urantia Book) doesn't exist.The Urantia Book is much more appealing to me than the Bible...
Jesus, of Nazareth, The One Who quoted from The Old Testament? Now you're going to listen to The Words of Jesus, after claiming to follow Jebus? What's wrong with this picture. Either you follow Him or you don't. You don't get to pick-and-choose.Jesus told us not to sew the new garments onto the old causing a worse tare.
Perhaps God should have consulted with you before He set about His Plan of the Ages?Many more people might come to the original gospel of Jesus if they didn't have to contend with the stories of the people who rejected and killed Jesus.
Trying to justify trampling Jesus' Blood under your feet is what causes your confusion. You claim to hold to His Words but commit the worst sin of all: blasphemy. Sad.Connecting the original Liberal gospel of Jesus onto primitive Judaism has caused confusion and failure.
I hope to post daily thoughts from the UB to stimulate dialog as we have entered a new era of enlightenment.
I am a life long student of the book and come from a family of UB readers.

You are believing this book foolishly. Why say we are in a 'new age of enlightenment' when the mind required for understanding the 'old age' has not been appropriated for understanding by those who write such books and for those who seek another easier way, who willfully reject major parts of the scriptures that are the enablement for understanding God? Philosophies and secret messages be damned! Learn Jesus Christ for the soul purpose of knowing God as He knew Him! Why the desire to embrace the way of the agnostic except for a self-righteousness that ends in death spritual?

Every prophet of new truth or revelation has had to face persecution from the older, primitive religious beliefs. The Jews persecuted the Christians and the Christians will persecute the UB people.
The UB is defiantly not an easier, softer way. The Pharisees made all the same accusations towards Jesus that fear riddled people will make against this new revelation.
These people here have never read the UB so they teach in stupidity.
He said every single letter and stroke of the pen would not pass until all be fulfilled. Which part(s) do you believe He meant was un-true?Jesus chose true things from the Old Testament but not the untrue parts.
He's The One Who inspired every stroke of the pen. Every jot and tittle.Jesus knew that the OT was written by men, he had common sense as well as being God incarnate.
He came to explain what was meant by the Old Testament and to provide a new and even better covenant.Jesus didn't come to reform man made Judaism, he came to reveal his new religion.
Although The Lord's Words (Old and New Testament) are Life and Truth to those who find Them, we don't worship a book. :duh:To compare our religion to Bible worship:
Because you don't believe His Word you find fault with ALL of It, and try to follow your false god that doesn't even exist. Makes sense. NOT!!!So sure, Jesus used true and beautiful things from the scripture but not like talking donkey's or iron chariots that were stronger than God?
I get it... you don't have enough sense to trust God or His Word. You need the words of a demon to make your itching ears feel better.Come on people, it's just common sense, stop battling me on these silly things, don't you get it?
