Hi Mel, I respond to your question with this question: To a God-knowing kingdom believer, what does it matter if all things earthly crash? Jesus asked this as well 2000 years ago. There is a matching verse in the Bible, which I have attempted to locate, but I have been unsuccessful. I think that you...

Hello everyone, I haven't been able to post on the open forum in the last few days because I have been quite busy. I just got home from San Francisco (beautiful town!). Before I get to the main content of my post, I'd just like go off on my own little tangent. Philosophies of any kind are simply way...

Hey Bart, thanks for your response. The following reply is directed towards you but also to the community as a whole. I gathered from your brief reply that you believe that the Fifth Epochal Revelation will pick up its own steam in due time. See, I also once shared this view (and to a large extent I...

Greetings everyone, It's been a long time since I posted in the open forum, so forgive me if my internet vernacular is a little off and my points don't get presented completely coherently :smile: We live in a wonderful age of scientific and societal achievement; with the advent of Facebook and Myspa...

I've been away from home the last few days, so I just got a chance to pop online today. 23 emails later, here I am :smile: Yes Maryjo, this is my son. Biologically, no. Yet to me it makes no difference. I love him as if he were my own flesh and blood. I never knew that this kind of love could exist,...

I've come to realize that, no matter what may befall me on this world, I will always have faith in the triumph of ultimate good over, as the Urantia Book puts it, the most malignant evil. Perhaps that wasn't always the case. I will be the first to admit that in my life there have been periods where ...

Joe is a beautiful soul...I'm deeply saddened by his passing. Yet, with the faith we have we all know that he is not dead. He has just graduated. I don't think I've ever heard Joe speak ill to anyone, even those who were unwilling to return his kindness. His life was an inspiration. He truly showed ...

There aren't enough words to describe the beauty inside Joe's soul. He's the kindest person I have had the privilege of meeting. He is filled with the love of God, and he unselfishly gives that love to all he meets. How can you not love him? Who can fail to feel uplifted by his words? He is our brot...

The Math works like this: 46:1.2... The Satania day equals three days of Urantia time, less one hour, four minutes, and fifteen seconds , that being the time of the axial revolution of Jerusem. The system year consists of one hundred Jerusem days. 3 Urantia Days(60seconds x 60minutes x 24hours)= 259...

Hi everybody, First off, we all need to settle down. I checked this thread two days ago and there were about five replies, and now there are over thirty and the majority of them seem to be negative. So, I'm going to put on a pot of coffee and collect my thoughts and see if I can think of an intellig...

So far there are some great ideas bouncing around, and it seems like this University could become a real possibility. However, there are some problems that need to be solved if this is to become a reality. The first issue is potentially the greatest hindrance to the founding of the school: Money. Un...

Good afternoon NAB, You know, it's moments like these where I smack my head and think "Good golly, why didn't I think of that!" It's a brilliant and original idea. Obviously this idea has much weightier benefits than a "church", the most obvious being a greater degree of intellec...

I attend a Catholic church every Sunday. Not out of habit; I stopped going for 4 years after finding the Urantia Book. A friend brought me to the church, and I have been going for about 8 months. Truth be told, I go because I feel closer to God there. Two years ago I think i would have taken everyth...
