The Urantia Book is believed to be a revelatory book. My opinion is that it could be the "book" that God said would be sealed up until the end as reported in the last chapter of Daniel. The Urantia book also could be one of the two witnesses noted in the book of Revelations. The Bible is the first witness and the Urantia Book is the second witness. The Uranita Books covers the life and teaching of Jesus Christ and uses many sources of information including the notes and diary maintained by the apostle Andrew. I believe the narrative of Jesus that is covered by the Urantia Book lines up with the words of Jesus as quoted in the four Gospels. This is the good news. The bad news is the Urantia Book is also a dangerous book. Because of the amount of information contained in the book, the reader's brain can be overwhelmed and short-circuited if the reader is not grounded in the knowledge that Jesus is the Son of God. Except for the pages devoted to our Master, the rest of the book is information we do not need to know. I use the book at a Bible commentary because it goes into greater detail about the events that took place in the life of Jesus. If you have other questions, please ask. | ||||||

Everyone knows that the Urantia is the text found at Pulin-Urleg, along with the Joshin-Ya scrolls. The contents are so revelatory that only a few are allowed access. | ||||||

Please tell me more. The origin of the Urantia Book that I read reportedly came from a group of people in Chicago who submitted questions to a person who responded with the answers from "out there" in the early 1900's. After 30 years of editing the information received from "out there," the first edition was published in 1955. The Urantia Foundation in Chicago is the organization that governs future editions and translations into other languages. | ||||||

Dear bobmoy, I am sorry to lead you on. I was not sure how serious you were about Urantia. I am afraid I was 'pulling your leg' and 'jesting.' All I know is that the Urantia thing seems to be more closely linked with "Chariots of the Gods" than with Jesus Christ. If you need to know more about revelation from 'out there,' you are probably on the wrong forum. | ||||||

I think that this is an excellent forum to discover truth, and to disemminate it. I don't think that we should limit our membership rolls to those who have "the correct doctrine". I do think we should have a ready defense for the hope that we have. 1 Pet 3:15 "but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence"(NAS;lockmanfoundation) |

Dear bobmoy, Of course you are free to express any opinion you like. I only meant that as this is generally considered to be a Bible-based discussion, it might be difficult to find others willing to discuss Urantia as truth. I have bothered to look into the information available on the internet, and cannot find any hard evidence that this is revelation or prophecy in accord with Scripture, except as noted by soladescriptura. I would also be interested to hear your defense of this spurious doctrine. | ||||||
