I think this account is worth considering (chuckles aside), since we don't know much about the tree of life as it is,....the Genesis account doesn't give much detail about it, and many take the story as metaphorical anyways, just a myth to explain why man's physical body dies or how he has the powers to know good and evil, and so on. The UB account offers a possible explanation and claims an actual physical 'tree of life' existed giving 'life' to those persons who has the required complement in their bodies to benefit from such.
Furthermore, even among some traditionalist Christians there is a theory of a pre-adamic race and that this world was ruled over by Lucifer in an earlier epoch of the Earth's history, and this correlates with some of what the papers reveal on our planet's history, since Calagastia was given the title of Planetary Prince and sojourned here with a staff of 100 materialized sons, but later joined the Lucifer Rebellion. Others sons of God that joined the rebellion were Dalagastia and Satan. The Lucifer Rebellion affected our planet's progress and evolution although since Christ-Michael (Jesus) has regained his title as Planetary Prince by triumphing over them thru his bestowal(incarnation) here, and his resurrection, the power of the fallen ones have been greatly diminished.

.....but they believe Noah's flood myth?????
Some may wonder, just like they said Jesus was beside himself. But at least I am sober unlike Noah who "When he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent." Genesis 9:21Has anyone ever mistaken you for being sane?
ERRONEOUS IDEAS OF GOD
4:5.1 "Religious tradition is the imperfectly preserved record of the experiences of the God-knowing men of past ages, but such records are untrustworthy as guides for religious living or as the source of true information about the Universal Father. Such ancient beliefs have been invariably altered by the fact that primitive man was a mythmaker.
4:5.2 One of the greatest sources of confusion on Urantia concerning the nature of God grows out of the failure of your sacred books clearly to distinguish between the personalities of the Paradise Trinity and between Paradise Deity and the local universe creators and administrators. During the past dispensations of partial understanding, your priests and prophets failed clearly to differentiate between Planetary Princes, System Sovereigns, Constellation Fathers, Creator Sons, Superuniverse Rulers, the Supreme Being, and the Universal Father. Many of the messages of subordinate personalities, such as Life Carriers and various orders of angels, have been, in your records, presented as coming from God himself. Urantian religious thought still confuses the associate personalities of Deity with the Universal Father himself, so that all are included under one appellation.

Lies? :nono: Refusing to listen? Of course. I'd bet there are less than a hundred of you UB weirdos on the planet. If there are a thousand, which would be said, you've about reached capacity. I will not tell you what I think of your brain-cell capacity here but do the math. The UB is not tenable. Never will be. Back to me: I shared an Easter message from the Bible. You scorned and rejected it. That's the end of discussion. My sandals are shaken.
Nonsense.... Tradition, and preserved records are two totally different things."Religious tradition is the imperfectly preserved record of the experiences of the God-knowing men of past ages, but such records are untrustworthy as guides for religious living or as the source of true information about the Universal Father. Such ancient beliefs have been invariably altered by the fact that primitive man was a mythmaker.
Translation: Angry Grosnick has no defense against truth which exposes the uncomfortable state of his conflicting theological claims.
Jesus didn't preach Paul's gospel, he preached his own.
Returning to his rightful place in heaven was inevitable, experiencing the final act of life that all men must pass through so that he can understand all that man is asked to do, priceless!
That's the general claim of proud religious institutions who have to much to loose by conceding the obvious errors.
Your fellow Pharisees said the same thing about Jesus. You should read that part of your Bible.
What messages have you been receiving from the UFO Mothership lately? Anything new?
