Thanks for your thoughts, al, and angels. I don't consider myself a Christian because my beliefs don't fit their requirements for membership. I try to be a Jesusonian. When partisans of any side add their politics for Christian membership my reply is to quote Gandhi and attribute him, "If not f... |

Someone dear to me lost her dad unexpectedly. She was sitting in her home when a police car pulled up. Two people got out and walked to her door. One was in uniform, the other wasn't. She answered and was told her father had died. After she was given more information she asked who the plain-clothed ... |

Somehow I can't help but think Larry Watkins is writing code to connect the broadcasts to Facebook or some other social platform just around the corner. I thoroughly enjoyed his personality and thoughtfulness. |

Will there be a slumber period for the Urantia Book? When will the world be ready to accept we have a revelation in our presence? Revelation as an epochal phenomenon [the Urantia Book] is periodic; as a personal human experience it is continuous. I think the book is in a slumber period because for ... |

So then pg 1349 complements (1344.4) 122:1.1 with its description of Joseph's appearance. Ditto for Mary. I don't see conflict? |

I Must Speak: Here is the Urantian lineage for Joseph and Mary. What's yours? 1. Joseph and Mary (1344.4) 122:1.1 Joseph, the human father of Jesus (Joshua ben Joseph), was a Hebrew of the Hebrews, albeit he carried many non-Jewish racial strains which had been added to his ancestral tree from time ... |

I think we agree in sum. But the sources I'm basing my posit are American Indian not white. It is not unusual for a prophet to have no honor among his own. Over time we can gain better understanding of history and personalities and if so then Tenskawata may be properly recognized for his service. |

Determine to listen to nothing that is bad; do not take up the tomahawk …. Do not meddle with anything that does not belong to you, but mind your own business and cultivate the ground … Tenskawata 1808 at Ft. Vincennes.

Interesting discussion. A repercussion of a growing sect of secularism that's just short of a war on God is the disengagement from public service by our most able youth leaders. Being free will beings that dilemma kind of limits the choices for the Most Highs to work with as far as a talent pool for... |
