Good morning Rick...may I add one to you wonderful thread...from today's quote...I love it :wink:

2:7.10 The religious challenge of this age is to those farseeing and forward-looking men and women of spiritual insight who will dare to construct a new and appealing philosophy of living out of the enlarged and exquisitely integrated modern concepts of cosmic truth, universe beauty, and divine goodness. Such a new and righteous vision of morality will attract all that is good in the mind of man and challenge that which is best in the human soul. Truth, beauty, and goodness are divine realities, and as man ascends the scale of spiritual living, these supreme qualities of the Eternal become increasingly co-ordinated and unified in God, who is love.

May God's divine light shine brightly on our paths today...so we do not falter...

GBH in BDA here,
That last line above the 'be you perfect stuff' should have read:
God Paradise Center way over here........A very long journey.........from the Worlds of Time and Space
We should be leaning this way.


It feels like replying to your post is a no-no :oops:

Greeting from Flyspeck Island.
I just had a whole screed of info disappear by clicking 'preview' and then 'back' I will have another go.
Yes! I love the line
Quote:
virtue is realized by the consistent choosing of good rather than evil,

Part of the problem of putting the Word of God (the UB) into action is the problem with choosing.
Even when our intentions are pure and we want to do the right thing, we screw up on the choosing paart because our information is incomplete. Look how Eve (and Adam) were not guilty of rebellion, yet commited error by mixing Good with Evil. They were trying to do the right thing in the wrong way. They did not know they were being lied to and led astray.
I am very new to all this forum stuff and have had my knuckes rapped and words censored for 'political ranting' ( I still have not had a correct definition of either). I do not wish to gratify my ego or get my rocks off.
I simply want to help my fellow Urantian as best I can.
I this day and age, commerce, industry, and corporations rule-with no or very little social concience.
Their power can be made moot by the advancing informaton age (This is it here Online).
No tree can survive with its roots cut.
Every amoral company survives or thrives because people support it by believing their pitch and buying from them.
{ political comments deleted by admin: please read the forum guidelines at http://forums.truthbook.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=519 }
Look into the intent of the entity you are buying from. What is their purpose? Do they have your interests at heart, or are they mainly focused on their financial gain.
I know this is supposed to be a forum on just the UB.
Read the China Study as an informed enlightened reader of the UB.
It is sane, not emotionally charged (no ranting), scientifically based, pertinent, appropriate reading.
It will help you save yourself, your fellow man and planet 606.
My love to all who will receive it......Greg :smile:

Complementary Quote:

Sequential Quote for March 1:

Complementary Quote:

...The recognition of goodness implies a mind of moral status, a personal mind with ability to discriminate between good and evil. But the possession of goodness, greatness, is the measure of real divinity attainment.... P.647 - §3
