Proof? Readers can research and read the Urantia Papers for themselves and make their own minds on the truth, substance and validity of the content. If indeed it is a revelation to mankind, being the 5th Epochal Revelation to the planet, then consideration ought to at least be given to its...

Divine questioning.............. Divine questioning.............. Jesus prayed that he did not have to endure such a death, but he did in behalf of being true to his message of God's kingdom, whatever happened to him within divine providence. It still holds true as well that one must repent...

Jesus / Mechizedek connection Jesus / Mechizedek connection Hi Caino :) Interesting parallels for sure betweeen Jesus and Melchizedek, and in some ways Melchizedek was the Messiah of his dispensation, as Jesus was of his, they both being 'anointed' priests and kings in their own right and...

Hi Caino,...how goes it? Havnet been coming on TOL much, once in awhile, any new insights or subjects in the UB you studying or exploring? :)

Different opinions and beliefs about Jesus........ Different opinions and beliefs about Jesus........ Hi Guyver, I was just addressing the claim or belief that Jesus has nothing to do with the UB, which is a rather bold claim, since the gospels are anonymous and no one can prove they were...

'versions' of Jesus....... 'versions' of Jesus....... Those open to investigate can see if you have any proof of that claim, since its only your 'opinion'. You've chosen to worship your own 'version' or 'concept' of Jesus packaged by a particular cult-ure and traditional canon. I'd propose...

Moving beyond primitive belief systems...... Moving beyond primitive belief systems...... All symbolic. You've been quoting that since way back in this thread, and been responded to, so its pretty 'circular' at this point. The fact remains they remain symbols only, mere tokens, taken by...

You might not be laughing in the future........ You might not be laughing in the future........ What makes you think the Bible is anything less than a product of its time, written for its own religious purposes, aims and agendas, having it own share of contradictions, mistakes, errors...

Hi, well God bless you too :) - I'm doing just fine here :thumb:

From one nut to another....... From one nut to another....... Plenty of 'nutjobs' in your field and catagory of 'Christianity' as well, besides dozens of different denominations and 'versions' of Jesus, so I'd be careful before pointing the finger since you'd find yourself in a hall of...

Birth, death, rebirth......................... Birth, death, rebirth......................... Hi zeke, I addressed one who referred to you as a 'Urantia loon' in another thread here and will not let that kind of marginalizing or name-callling be gotten away with, not while freelight is...

a trinity of qualities...... a trinity of qualities...... Yes, a synthesis of the qualities of goodness, truth and beauty are integral to a true and living religion, a more holistic theology. :thumb: I believe 'art' is a part of this integrative expression of Spirit, and may express thru...

The evolving Supreme Being in its expanding total....... The evolving Supreme Being in its expanding total....... ~*~*~ Hi Caino and any following, Would like to engage in dialogue/discusison on any points in the text, and will do so when I have time. The UB's concept of 'The Supreme Being'...

Which shows as the papers articulate that man advances forward by both evolution and revelation, via natural and spiritual channels.

Discourse on the above commentary....... Discourse on the above commentary....... ~*~*~ Some critics have seen the contradictions in the OT as proof of human invention, fallibility or creative fiction, however we note here the revelators point to changes in texts indicating an advancement of...

Soul ascension in the Spirit......... Soul ascension in the Spirit......... [/spoiler] The previous is from Paper 30, 'Personalities of the Grand Universe'. Such carries on a very detailed systematic depiction of the soul's adventure of ascension and spirit-perfection, among the various...

Updates........ Updates........ ~*~*~ Hi all, I revived an older thread discussing the historical reality of Jesus here :) - I openly share Im exploring a more secular, agnostic, mythicist and allegorical interpretation of the 'Christ-story' reviewing the works of scholar-writers such as...

Learning from the "story"........ Learning from the "story"........ Note the gospels that got chosen by the church-state that assumed power were written at least 30 - 40 years after purported events and are by anonymous authors (not eyewitnesses). Only the 4th gospel hints at its author being...
