This all sounds like it's run in the same way as any big corporation here on earth with a religious twist.
Let's see how many different kinds of "gods" there are.
Static, Potential, Associative, Creative, Evolutional, Supreme, Ultimate so am I right in calling this a polytheistic religion? It also begs the question, are these "local" gods only omniscient and omnipotent in their respective areas? If that is the case then they can't be the top authority but they must answer to a higher authority. I don't know about you but I don't want the middle man. I want to be able to go right to the top guy. You should go there and read the definitions of some of these gods. Funny stuff!
quote furch: "The Urantia Book is "God's new revelation to our world" because God and God's government authorized it." So God has to answer to someone? He has a government telling him what to do? How would that make him omnipotent? I don't want some flunky god who has to be told what to do telling me what to do.
quote furch "so too were the "Papers" in The Urantia Book authored by celestial beings, not God personally, acting on behalf of God's government. Read my comment to the quote above. It still works here.
quote fruch "The title of the thread does not say that God wrote The Urantia Book. I don't make the claim that The Urantia Book is "God's Word"
quote furch thread title: The Urantia Book: God's new revelation to our world So does that mean it's God's word but God didn't send it. Some committee and the government took it upon themselves to send it without God's permission? Did they tell God what they were going to do or is he still in the dark about that? I don't want a god that's more of a mushroom then the creator of everything.
