It doesn't have to be in the Bible. All it has to do is be taught by the Church. See 2 Thessalonians 2:15.

The Church ordered heretics tortued and burned at the stake precisely because the heretics opposed the Church's message of love and peace.

Protestant error: The Blood of Christ, and the Blood of Christ alone, saves us from.our sins.

Everybody else's error: Our conduct saves us.

Catholic truth: To save a soul, it takes BOTH the Blood of Christ, AND our own conduct in this life, that results in our salvation. Jesus made the down payment on the cross. We make the installments by responding to His grace and living a good life, the best we can.

You keep posting this, slowpoke, so I will make a comment.

Okay, slowpoke, instead of judging the world Jesus willingly laid down his life at the hands of the rejecting, mocking and murderous Jewish priests and in so doing thereby granted mankind an additional period of grace for sinners to remit their sins.

Have you been successful in this most worthy business, slow?

Do you consider blasphemy a sin, slow?

just a little beginning research on my own.....


"What is the Urantia book?"

The Urantia Book was supposedly dictated to a Chicago psychiatrist named W.S. Sadler from 1934 to 1935 by a man who spoke in his sleep on behalf of alien super-mortals called revelators. Sadler formed a group to discuss these revelations, from which the Urantia Foundation was formed in 1950. The Urantia Foundation began publishing the Urantia Book in 1955. Although there is no official religion based upon the Urantia Book, there are groups, like the Jesusonian Foundation, who teach others what is contained in the Urantia Book.

It is difficult to summarize the Urantia Book, as it encompasses many subjects and ideas, from science to politics, from philosophy to history. It is divided into four parts: Part I: The Central and Superuniverses; Part II: The Local Universe; Part III: The History of Urantia; Part IV: The Life and Teachings of Jesus. Consider a few of the teachings found in this book:

* The cosmos is divided into seven concentric rings, the center ring being the Isle of Paradise, where God resides.

* The Urantia Book supersedes the Bible as the ultimate source of truth.

* God exists in three separate trinities: the existential Paradise Trinity, the experiential Ultimate Trinity, and the experiential Absolute Trinity.

* God is known as the Universal Father and is the father of all humanity.

* Jesus Christ is one of many Creator Sons.

* Perfection is attained by continually seeking goodness over the course of many lifetimes, on many different planets.

Obviously, this book and its adherents are not representative of biblical Christianity - not by any stretch of the imagination. The Urantia Book is very similar to Mormonism and Christian Science beliefs, and little, if anything, found within its pages, is scriptural. Consider the following, in contrast to the teachings listed above: the Bible is our one authoritative source for truth (Acts 17:11; 2 Timothy 3:16-17), not writings of spirits or aliens (Galatians 1:8); Jesus is not merely an example of God, but rather is the One in whom the Godhead fully dwells, and is a part of the Trinity Himself (Colossians 2:9); man only lives once, not many times, before He faces eternal judgment from God (Hebrews 9:27); salvation does not come through anything that humans can do but is a gift from God (Romans 3:28; Ephesians 2:8-9).

I want nothing to do with it

Then you want nothing to do with spiritual enlightenment just like the self-righteous Pharisees and that's a very deplorable state.

Have you actually read the Bible? How is it you appear not to know that the Bible is rampant with God supposedly ordering the destruction of nations and the slaughter of men, women, children and infants he supposedly found displeasure with so the Israelites could prosper?

Jesus came to "bear witness upon the truth" about God and this He divinely did but you still believe about God like those who killed Jesus. Why is that, ladybug? Why do you call yourself a Christian if you believe like the Pharisees, ladybug?

The Urantia Book does not advocate the killing of anyone and its single statement about the desirability of mankind to control the reproduction of the "more markedly unfit, defective, degenerate, and antisocial stocks" of the human race is left solely in the hands of mankind to decide if and when mankind ever does.

The Urantia Book has been given to us to reveal the truth about God and the actual teachings of Jesus uncorrupted by the hand of man - and if you are not interested - God is certainly not going to make you read/study it.

And no, I have NOT read the book of evil, the Urantian Book/Papers. I know ALL I need to know about its evil from some research I've done on it and what I see posted here. It's a book NOT meant for any true Christian to read. So, you can rebuke me all you want for it will do no good. I want nothing to do with it.

I agree completely!!
