Part IV The life and teachings of Jesus including the missing years. AND MUCH MORE



Excerpts



God , God is the source and destiny of all that is good and beautiful and true. (p. 1431) If you truly want to find God, that desire is in itself evidence that you have already found him. (p. 1440) When man goes in partnership with God, great things may, and do, happen. (p. 1467)



The Origin of Human Life , The universe is not an accident (p. 53) The universe of universes is the work of God and the dwelling place of his diverse creatures. (p. 21) The evolutionary planets are the spheres of human origin Urantia [Earth] is your starting point. (p. 1225) In God, man lives, moves, and has his being. (p. 22)



The Purpose of Life , There is in the mind of God a plan which embraces every creature of all his vast domains, and this plan is an eternal purpose of boundless opportunity, unlimited progress, and endless life. (p. 365) This new gospel of the kingdom presents a new and exalted goal of destiny, a supreme life purpose. (p. 1778)



Jesus , The religion of Jesus is the most dynamic influence ever to activate the human race. (p. 1091) What an awakening the world would experience if it could only see Jesus as he really lived on earth and know, firsthand, his life-giving teachings! (p. 2083)



Science , Science, guided by wisdom, may become man's great social liberator. (p. 909) Mortal man is not an evolutionary accident. There is a precise system, a universal law, which determines the unfolding of the planetary life plan on the spheres of space. (p. 560)



Life after Death, God's love is universal He is 'not willing that any should perish.' (p. 39) Your short sojourn on Urantia [Earth] is only a single link, the very first in the long chain that is to stretch across universes and through the eternal ages. (p. 435) Death is only the beginning of an endless career of adventure, an everlasting life of anticipation, an eternal voyage of discovery. (p. 159)

From the Inside Flap

Love
Love is truly contagious and eternally creative. (p. 2018) "Devote your life to proving that love is the greatest thing in the world." (p. 2047) "Love is the ancestor of all spiritual goodness, the essence of the true and the beautiful." (p. 2047) The Father's love can become real to mortal man only by passing through that man's personality as he in turn bestows this love upon his fellows. (p. 1289) The secret of a better civilization is bound up in the Master's teachings of the brotherhood of man, the good will of love and mutual trust. (p. 2065)

Prayer
Prayer is not a technique of escape from conflict but rather a stimulus to growth in the very face of conflict. (p. 1002) The sincerity of any prayer is the assurance of its being heard. ... (p. 1639) God answers man's prayer by giving him an increased revelation of truth, an enhanced appreciation of beauty, and an augmented concept of goodness. (p. 1002) ...Never forget that the sincere prayer of faith is a mighty force for the promotion of personal happiness, individual self-control, social harmony, moral progress, and spiritual attainment. (p. 999)

Suffering
There is a great and glorious purpose in the march of the universes through space. All of your mortal struggling is not in vain. (p. 364) Mortals only learn wisdom by experiencing tribulation. (p. 556)

Angels
The angels of all orders are distinct personalities and are highly individualized. (p. 285) Angels....are fully cognizant of your moral struggles and spiritual difficulties. They love human beings, and only good can result from your efforts to understand and love them. (p. 419)

Our Divine Destiny
If you are a willing learner, if you want to attain spirit levels and reach divine heights, if you sincerely desire to reach the eternal goal, then the divine Spirit will gently and lovingly lead you along the pathway of sonship and spiritual progress. (p. 381) ...They who know that God is enthroned in the human heart are destined to become like him--immortal. (p. 1449) God is not only the determiner of destiny; he is man's eternal destination. (p. 67)

Family
Almost everything of lasting value in civilization has its roots in the family. (p. 765) The family is man's greatest purely human achievement. ... (p. 939)

Faith
...Faith will expand the mind, ennoble the soul, reinforce the personality, augment the happiness, deepen the spirit perception, and enhance the power to love and be loved. (p. 1766) "Now, mistake not, my Father will ever respond to the faintest flicker of faith." (p. 1733)

History/Science
The story of man's ascent from seaweed to the lordship of earthly creation is indeed a romance of biologic struggle and mind survival. (p. 731) 2,500,000,000 years ago... Urantia was a well developed sphere about one tenth its present mass. ... (p. 658) 1,000,000,000 years ago is the date of the actual beginning of Urantia [Earth] history. (p. 660) 450,000,000 years ago the transition from vegetable to animal life occurred. (p. 669) From the year A.D. 1934 back to the birth of the first two human beings is just 993,419 years. (p. 707) About five hundred thousand years ago...there were almost one-half billion primitive human beings on earth. ... (p. 741) Adam and Eve arrived on Urantia, from the year A.D. 1934, 37,848 years ago. (p. 828)

C'est une histoire extraordinaire. Une version de ce qu'est notre Univers, notre origine, etc. Ça explique bien des choses. Très logique! Bien que plutôt difficile à comprendre. C'est un livre que l'on doit lire sans trop d'intellect sinon, on manque le bateau. C'est un livre dont le message nous est inspiré, et c'est de cette façon qu'on peut bien le comprendre. C'est un livre qui ouvre l'esprit sur tout un nouvel univers, une nouvelle vie. Je le recommande sans hésitation!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Divine and Spiritual Revelation Ever on Earth (Named Urantia) in all Our Human History!!!!!
Reviewed in Mexico on May 4, 2024
Verified Purchase
Hey, friends !!! :

I've read many many many books, including divine/spiritual books (also called spiritual channelings), and other human books on spiritual growth, psychology, philosophy, ethics etc. None, none at all whatsoever, is like this divine revelation in book format. Urantia is our own world's name!

‘The Urantia Papers’ (its own formal name) aka ‘The Urantia Book’ is the self-proclaimed fifth epochal divine and spiritual revelation to and for us Humanity (there are other mortal, evolutionary humanities in other inhabited planets, according to this book authored by invisible (to us) celestial, spiritual and divine beings/personalities), and currently there are five epochal revelations so far.

The book is all about GOD, Love, Divinity, Spirituality, our Universe of universes, our own World’s general History, JESUS, and Ourselves…

It has new and so very many Revelations of the Truth, Reality, Values, Meanings, and Facts etc.

It’s about the revelation of GOD our Universal Father, their nature, attributes, their relationship with the Universe and Ourselves, the COSMIC TRINITY, and GOD and their Creatures being a cosmic universal real FAMILY…

The nature and relationships of the Trinity and PARADISE… The genesis and nature of Reality… Introduction of several new words and concepts.

The relative origin, nature, history, and destiny of the Universe of universes, and the same for many entities/beings/creatures/personalities, the Universe being personal mainly…

The family, administration, government, functions, agency, and personnel of our Universe.

The nature and partial history of the central and eternal Universe named Havona (like in Heaven).

The Rebellion of Lucifer in our local system and the planetary Rebellion of the Devil (named Caligastia, according to the book), their history and consequences for our wayward and relatively dark planet.

Of course the origin, history, nature, and destiny of Humanity. The partial origin and properties of our solar system… A general revelation of the inhabited planets and their features.

It reveals so very much and deeply about our afterlife, the places and persons we will meet in the high, celestial spheres of the Universe (we will meet our loved ones and friends). The nature of our creature life and our living features and functions…

It reveals so much about energy, mind, and spirit realities; also why we cannot see directly personal beings such as angels etc. It reveals who the angels are, also. Something about archangels, Melchizedeks, and so forth.

It affirms and reveals who JESUS is: his origin, nature, and the Part IV (of 4 Parts in total of the Urantia Revelation) is about the Life and Teachings of JESUS, Son of GOD and Son of Man. In fact it's a year-by-year account of His life and character and destiny!!!!!

Urantia's revelators say this about itself, among other things in other passages of the book (pages 1007-1008)!:

‘ 92:4.4 (1007.4) There have been many events of religious revelation but only five of epochal significance. These were as follows:

92:4.5 (1007.5) 1. The Dalamatian teachings. The true concept of the First Source and Center was first promulgated on Urantia by the one hundred corporeal members of Prince Caligastia’s staff. This expanding revelation of Deity went on for more than three hundred thousand years until it was suddenly terminated by the planetary secession and the disruption of the teaching regime. Except for the work of Van, the influence of the Dalamatian revelation was practically lost to the whole world. Even the Nodites had forgotten this truth by the time of Adam’s arrival. Of all who received the teachings of the one hundred, the red men held them longest, but the idea of the Great Spirit was but a hazy concept in Amerindian religion when contact with Christianity greatly clarified and strengthened it.

92:4.6 (1007.6) 2. The Edenic teachings. Adam and Eve again portrayed the concept of the Father of all to the evolutionary peoples. The disruption of the first Eden halted the course of the Adamic revelation before it had ever fully started. But the aborted teachings of Adam were carried on by the Sethite priests, and some of these truths have never been entirely lost to the world. The entire trend of Levantine religious evolution was modified by the teachings of the Sethites. But by 2500 b.c. mankind had largely lost sight of the revelation sponsored in the days of Eden.

92:4.7 (1007.7) 3. Melchizedek of Salem. This emergency Son of Nebadon inaugurated the third revelation of truth on Urantia. The cardinal precepts of his teachings were trust and faith. He taught trust in the omnipotent beneficence of God and proclaimed that faith was the act by which men earned God’s favor. His teachings gradually commingled with the beliefs and practices of various evolutionary religions and finally developed into those theologic systems present on Urantia at the opening of the first millennium after Christ.

92:4.8 (1008.1) 4. Jesus of Nazareth. Christ Michael presented for the fourth time to Urantia the concept of God as the Universal Father, and this teaching has generally persisted ever since. The essence of his teaching was love and service, the loving worship which a creature son voluntarily gives in recognition of, and response to, the loving ministry of God his Father; the freewill service which such creature sons bestow upon their brethren in the joyous realization that in this service they are likewise serving God the Father.

92:4.9 (1008.2) 5. The Urantia Papers. The papers, of which this is one, constitute the most recent presentation of truth to the mortals of Urantia. These papers differ from all previous revelations, for they are not the work of a single universe personality but a composite presentation by many beings. But no revelation short of the attainment of the Universal Father can ever be complete. All other celestial ministrations are no more than partial, transient, and practically adapted to local conditions in time and space. While such admissions as this may possibly detract from the immediate force and authority of all revelations, the time has arrived on Urantia when it is advisable to make such frank statements, even at the risk of weakening the future influence and authority of this, the most recent of the revelations of truth to the mortal races of Urantia. ‘
