 Forum: General Urantia Book Discussion   Topic: Michael of Bible and Michael of Nebadon: Are they the Same?

Hi Rajan, From several extended discussions with members of Jehovah Witnesses who sought my 'conversion', I discovered that they commonly believe the "prince" Michael of the Bible and Jesus are the same individual. It seems plausible that the Daniel quote refers to Michael of Nebadon when ...

Hi Richard, I'm not willing to speculate other than it'll be a very long time ... as we judge things from this spinning orb of our origin. Couple of billion more or less, sounds like there's gonna be plenty to keep us busy so that we aren't counting :biggrin: Maybe we'll get a chance to submit that ...

38:6.3 - ...Even when Michael was born of the flesh on Urantia, there issued the superuniverse broadcast to all Nebadon which proclaimed, "And let all the angels worship him."

Is there still any question?

Wholeheartedly,

Hi Todd, What I wanted to point out is that since the sequential style of parallelism is so common , then this analysis (of style) provides no "evidence" of Dr. Sadler's authorship. Yes, I understand that (as you say) "This kind of parallelism is seen in bad student writings..."....

Hi Todd, I don't mean to be nit-picking the logic here, but if you'll humor me: You Posted: Thu Jan 16, 2014 11:56 am The simple fact that Dr. Sadler used uncited sources is not in itself so striking... What is striking is the manner in which the uncited sources are used. Matthew's parallel studies ...

Greetings TB friends, This isn't offered as a definitive or comprehensive answer to the Salvation by Faith/Action/Beliefs query, but it's one of those good quotes worth remembering: 26:4.15 ..."The acceptance of sonship (by faith? - mbm), co-operation with the indwelling Adjuster (by loving-act...

Thanks for your referral link, Jim.
What I was hoping for was a written transcript of Mo's interview with Meredith.
Probably have to transcribe it myself, if I get motivated enough...

Our lives would be no different had Caligastia been taken after the Pentecost. Our planet would still be in quarantine, the shrewd and wicked would still be in charge, and there would still be too few shepherds to do anything about it. Maybe the wolves wouldn't be quite as organized or crazed as th...

Greetings Rajan and all, I've been personally convinced of the superhuman authorship of the FER for many years, and yet, perhaps in part because of those years, I find myself less and less inclined to bother highlighting the issue. I certainly hope to avoid any witness of my faith walk being depende...

Hi Solis,

One aspect of suffering mentioned by the authors is found in Paper 48. Perhaps it does shed some light:
Quote:
Morontia Mota (48:7)
12. The greatest affliction of the cosmos is never to have been afflicted. Mortals only learn wisdom by experiencing tribulation.

Sincerely,
Michael Brent

Hi Gerdean,

Your interest is noted. If anyone has these types of problems, I ask that they please contact me via PM or email so that we can handle these mundane, and other, issues off-thread.

Thanks, and God bless,
