1 | Have you ever looked at Urantia Book? | Rev 19:4 | kalos | 761 | ||
Just give us the who, what, where, when. Who wrote the book? Who endorses it? What is the book about in general? Where did the book have its origin? When did the book come into being? Also, if there are organized followers of the book, you may want to tell us something about them. I hope my answer is of some help to you. Again, thanks for sharing with us. | ||||||
2 | Have you ever looked at Urantia Book? | Rev 19:4 | bobmoy | 830 | ||
I have been asked to share some information about a revelation-type of document called The Urantia Book. The 2000-plus page publication was published by The Urantia Foundation in 1955. Printings are in quantities of 50,000. About 1,000000 copies have been sold by only word-of-mouth advertising from Urantia readers. According to reports, the book was produced by more than 400 experts who were told to prepare questions for God regarding the need for additional knowledge and understanding in their fields of expertise. These questions were submitted. The answers came from "out there." About half of the book is devoted to the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. I have found this half of the book to be accurate and it lines up completely with the words of Jesus that he spoke in The Bible. I use this half of the book as a commentary that helps me with my own Bible study and teaching. That's the good news. The bad news is that Satan is a master counterfeiter. Unless the believer is grounded on his belief that Jesis is the Son of God and that we are hear to love without conditions, the Urantia reader can be led astray with the information contained in the rest of the book. Thus the book can be used for both good and evil. If you decide to look at the book, please do not read it completely. Let the holy spirit lead you to one of the 196 chapters. Read that chapter. Meditate on that chapter. If the holy spirit says go ahead, select another chapter. If you have additional questions about The Urantia Book, please e-mail me at bobmoy@wcnet.org. | ||||||

I ask because 20 years or so ago there was a book store here in Austin, Texas called The Urantia Book Store. It advertised on television, I remember the commercials. | ||||||
