I don't have to read beyond the opening post to know the person behind this so called "revelation" is someone channeling a demon; just more New Age seducing spirits spouting pseudo-spiritual, false love infected ramblings, sent to deceive those that are weak in the faith.
If you dont read beyond the first post and learn what the Urantia Papers teach or reveal as a 'whole',...you forfeit a real knowledge of it beyond your preconceived religious bias or assumptions. We also have our
'Intro. to the Urantia Papers thread' if you'd like to educate yourself further.
The Urantia Book Fellowship is a charter resource.
I recommend the introductory articles
Here. Also highly recommended is the Meredith J. Sprunger articles, many of which are made for traditional conservative christians, and sharing the significance of the UB within the Christian community
Here.
One of these spirits "trademarks" is always stressing about the supposed character of God being of an all inclusive, non-discriminatory, anything goes mentality, when in fact He is very discriminating, in that He separates the light from darkness, the wheat from the tares, the sheep from the goats, the men from demons, the clean from the unclean, the holy from the profane, the sanctified from the unsanctified.
He does not bring unity by being all inclusive/addition under this false noble motive of the betterment of the human race; He brings unity by DIVISION, and He's the only one that can do it that way.
He divided Eve from Adam and brought union, He made covenant/agreement/union by dividing a sacrifice and then walking through the two parts. And finally, He brought union by dividing the Head from the body, via the Holy Ghost being that which every joint supplieth, just as He did to the bullock in pattern on the day of ATONEMENT.
The Papers speak highly of spiritual discernment, the constitution of the soul, its inherent powers and potential, and the whole acumen of the soul's eternal progress and spiritual development. I recommend the first 12 Papers as a fundamental grounding in the theology and cosmological context of the revelation. Part 4 (the last 76 papers) is entirely on Jesus and his ministry.
This is how you test the spirits: on the day of Pentecost they all heard the Spirit speaking about the wonderful works of God among men. Principle: the Spirit always exalts the one who sent it.
The UB (
Urantia Book), first published under that 'title' in 1955...is a compendium of 196 Papers, hence it also being called 'The Urantia Papers'. It expands on the origin and history of our planet, and the role and person of Jesus the Christ, glorifying and exalting God, extoling the highest ideals of religious truth and values.
Not sure of the origin of something? Who does it exalt? If it does not exalt the Lord Jesus Christ and Him crucified, then it's not of His Spirit.
Again, the papers exalt God, the only utimate and final value, and the lordship of the one whom we know as Jesus the Christ, but gives new information concerning his role and office as Lord, Savior and he being a 'Creator Son' within the cosmology and heirarchy revealed by this groups of celestials. The Spirit of God is open to teach all receptive to truth, in whatever form or fashion it is given. Here we must consider terms, meanings, values and context.
One is free to accept or reject the UB, or see it as inspired religious fiction, however it is an interesting, incredible tome on many levels, from the simple to the profound, integrating religion, philosophy and science confirming and expanding on the planetary knowledge of man at that time (first half of the 20th century). -
alot is shared in our dialogues in our UB threads here already, if you'd like to research further.
