Any avid reader of the Urantia Papers besides myself?

I learned it's completely different from the Bible and that is good considering the lies and false info you find in e the Bible.

Have you considered the possibility UB could also contain errors and falsehood?

i have it

i've not felt the same pull to read it as the pull i felt to obtain it.

i leaf through it every now and then.

i assume it to be full of errors, lies, and fabrications. but that's not to say that i assume it to contain no truth. my judgement will be reserved until it's been read. until then, since it's at the front of my bookshelf, it's an interesting object to discuss with my friends who have never heard of it.

Good for toilet paper.

Look up user name nobody in particular.

They absolutely fucking love that book.

Like errhhmmaaagguuurrddd eeerrraanntttiiaaaa

Read em back in the mid-70s. Pretty mind blowing.

But it is channelled material, so who is to say if it is nonsense or truth?

I think the more diverse stuff people read and consider, the better.

Never heard of them- care to enlighten?

huh?

Here is the short end of it, its the alien Bible.

70s? wow! that is a while back!

huh?

Yeah, back then I read that other one of a similar genre, The Oahspe Book (or similar spelling). Equally fascinating.

I remember that one too!

I think NIP gave up her membership here not long ago.

It is not full of errors and fabrications, it is the finest book on cosmology ever given to man. Christianity has NONE in it.

This is NIP, yes I did. But the thread should be there, search under UB, but sadly since I removed my account, it will say AC.

excuse me, but i'll reserve that statement for after i've read it, thank you. i won't have you make that decision for me.

as far as truth in christianity, there is truth there that applies universally just as there is that kind of truth EVERYwhere. for you to discount the true tenets of christianity in the face of its ignorant corrupters makes you no better than they are for obscuring the true source of their religion.

it's all the same.

Go straight to the cosmology of angels and Lucifer's rebellion, and you will get hooked!

thats funny

so, you believe a bunch of channeled demonic ramblings given to an insane neocon corn flake millionare that has no verifiable proof of where it came from, that calls you to read it

vs the bible



and, yes I read it twice

good luck with that

I had a friend in the 1970s who said he got a call from an associate suggesting the Urantia Book. He was very skeptical saying to himself okay "I will read it until I find it is garbage." It turned out after a year and several readings he found absolutely nothing wrong with it. About a year later while traveling I picked up a copy of the book. I began reading then while on a bus ride from San Jose to Seattle, I really gave it a roll. My findings are that it is a bliss book, so to speak. It really was astounding. Later I joined some study groups and enjoyed being with people who read it out loud.

There is always someone who will tell you it is not a good book, but they will not even read it and discover a walk with Jesus on his ministry in great detail.

Later in the 1970s COINTELPRO infiltrated the study groups, spreading dissension. Even on the street people talked bible talk disliking the Urantia Book, but they were put up to it by that operation. Any possibility of reasonable social change gets quashed by these idiots. These monsters cannot stand anything like the Universal Presence of a Universal Father in everyone, and a Brotherhood of all.

My friend, you will soon find out that you have opened a can of worms GLP has taken a couple years to put away.

What's worse than a bible thumper? Oh yes, a Urantia thumper & you've just invited them to come out & play......

Like I said COINTELPRO. I would not thump a Urantia Book, it is just a book and it is all up to you and not anyone else. Just read it.

HAHAHAHA!! So Urantia readers are more self-righteous than Bible believers?!?! Say it aint so! lol

Just wait, homey. You know there are tonnes of folk on this planet, that take historical/mythological perspectives as the rule of life & go fanatic.

Somebody already mentioned: Nobody In Particular. Read her self righteous ramblings & impositions of opinion for 5 minutes- you'll want to scratch your eyes out slowly with bleach & sandpaper.

lol!

Here's our first winner. Assumes I haven't read it & don't like it. Quite the contrary- it's a great collection of stories.

I didn't come out & say: "Space Command is a Urantia thumper.", instead, he took what I said to heart so tough, he went on an automatic defensive. Without asking questions for fact.

I didn't single you out, so don't call me the names of your country's pigs.

It is up to you, as I have said before. COINTELPRO is a disinformation spreader regarding serious things like social change to help ordinary people. I do not mean to call you any names, and you are totally entitled to your opinion. I am happy you have read the book, and it is only a book, no one forces you to read it. It is not a religion that compels people to act against their free will, it does not use force. It is just a book. That is why I like it, there are no shadowy idiots like Jim Jones ruining everything. If you or anyone else does not like the book then don't read it.

wow, where does one begin.

i have the read the urantia book at least three times, but i have read entire segments at least a dozen times. right now, i am re-reading the very first paper on God.

the most important thing I think I have learned from the Urantia Book is that there is a divine purpose and a universal unfolding of events that awaits each of us if we simply believe its possible.

The distinction of the Urantia Book from every other major presentation, the thing that sets it apart,is that for the first time a universal perspective is presented that declares the entire universe is a living, vibrant, intelligently guided body - and then, rather than just saying it, goes on to explain every level, every being, every step and almost every detail of this vast universe.

It is no wonder so many people have a hard time with it - its like going from learning adding and subtraction, and then discovering algebra.

I believe that anyone who just reads the first 7 pages of Part 1, regardless if they ever read another word- will sense of deep appreciation that whoever wrote it knew what they were talking about.

Enjoy
