Respecting the subject..............
I don't 'assume' anything, much less act presumptuously. He also created evil. He isn't in the center of it, though. He hasn't multiplied it. He has never committed any evil. He doesn't support evil or condone it.I don't pre-suppose anything. I study, inquire and meditate. No, it's not. He doesn't work like that. Never did. He dwells in men's hearts. Our spirit. His Spirit comes to live inside of those who are born again. He gives us His Heart. He doesn't 'adjust' thoughts for anyone. He reasons together with us, so that we can get rid of our 'stinkin' thinkin' that is common in un-regenerate men. He doesn't adjust our thoughts. That would just be creepy. He leads us with His Word by His Spirit. He guides us into all Truth. He is Truth. His Word is Truth. The UB is NOT Truth. It is 100% lies. His prompting of our conscience doesn't adjust our thinking. He changes our hearts, so that we are, by nature, like Him. We want to do His Will because He lives in us. We don't have our brains re-wired. We have our heart completely changed. He creates in us a clean heart. He doesn't 'adjust' anyone's thoughts. That would be puppetry. That's Satan's methods. You're his puppet. It's quite clear.It is the god of this world (Satan) imitating The Father God, not The One True God. His Word shows us that the Urantia nonsense is a pack of lies, obviously.No, it is the indwelling presence of His Spirit that helps us to work out our salvation and to become conformed to His Image and Likeness. We grow every day. If we don't: we become stagnant and start stinking again. That whole book stinks (Urantia).
As shared previously, and by a study of the subject from the paper(s) on 'thought-adjusters' (beginning
here up to paper 111. (learn therein). You're talking the term too 'literally',...and by doing that,
missing the forest for a tree. 4 entire papers are given by the revelators to expound upon the nature and mission of 'thought-adjusters', the divine gift of the Father to all mortals of normal-mind capacity and immortality-potential. These divine gifts of 'God' himself are the
'mystery of mysteries', that presence of 'God' himself in man, in a unique and special way, being of the Universal Father himself. - hence they are sometimes called 'Father-fragments'. Mortals also engage with and converge with other divine spirits of 'God'...but these are the special gifts of the Father, of his own Spirit and infinity.
The rest of your response even from page 1 here in this thread is typical hoc-apologetics, misrespresentation, polemics & ad homenims that come with a fundamentalist mindset (which is 'locked'), and your own presdisposed judgments which miss the mark, since their target, bias and conclusion is
already presumed. One happy with truth, has no reason to attack, defend or demean anything, since he is one with God & Nature,...and abides in the truth that is ommipresent as well as transcendental.
My work here has always been as an expositor or expounder, on this and other threads (on a variety of topics) since my forte' is
'creative dialogue',
expanding and exploring consciousness, -
our discussion here is on the papers, and that is how I engage and
respect the discussion. If you want to discuss TAs, then you have the material given to investigate, as well as those knowledgable to engage with. That's the purpose of the thread.
I can respect truth without having to resort to say your 'book' or 'thinking' STINKS. Obviously I don't limit 'God' to only one 'book', since that is impossible and ridiculous to assume. That's because truth is universal, although typified, symbolized and expressed in different language-terms, concepts and archetypes. Each religious text has its own terms, meanings and values, special to that system, encompassing the whole, so all must be respected. This is a given for anyone interested in religious truths, concepts and principles.
