The Urantia book was authored by demonic influences, not Yahweh

I flipped through it too in a Barnes and Noble while sipping a Starbucks back when I was in University.

Read about a hundred pages before I decided to toss it in the garbage. Then I remembered I hadn't bought it.

Anyone so ignorant and asinine as to actually drink the Urantia koolaid deserves to.

I cannot even describe how delusional you have to be. It's beyond words.

I wouldn’t say demonic influences, more like Star Trek geeks with too much time on their hands.

No, it was written by Uranus.

urantia isn't a religion, its a new-age spaceship/space alien worshiping cult. IMO>. The only goal of those who push that crap is to deceive folks away from the salvation that is ONLY thru Jesus and his finished work of the cross.

YAHWEH is FICTION OP... does not exist except maybe as some shit human long ago.

Urantia book is demonic. So is YHVH. The Christ came to heal this world of YHVH, one of the demonic host.

Who is Yahweh? He doesn't exist.

It is not the name of the FATHER of the Trinity at all. The urantia book is about the cosmos and the last 3rd about the life of Jesus. I assume you never even opened it up? Or so stuck you could not see past what you "believe".

Love you anyway OP.. you make some nice posts here. You cannot comprehend WHO Jesus was... unless you read it. :Triple Hearts:

Considering that The Name which you slander holds a very deep and specific meaning in Scriptures that is co-opted by the Urantia and many other new age texts, it's clear that you do not know what of you speak. I AM THAT WHICH I AM, the Universal Self-willed Being, the source of all conciousness, knowledge, wisdom, understanding, and power; that's whom you are calling shit fiction.

Jesus is one of many ways.

Millions of people don't know him and that's no problem.

Your god is a worthless fraud

KJV John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

There are truth and lies in ALL recorded religious and indoctrinating papers.
This is not an existance of understanding, more a test of your faith and fortitude.

Can you be steered? Do you drive yourself? How far do you bend before you break?

We are in a petri dish.

Urantia book is demonic. So is YHVH. The Christ came to heal this world of YHVH, one of the demonic host.

I AM that I AM is actually translated as "ehyeh asher ehyeh" and not the made up name used by the god who calls itself yahweh. yahweh is simply the abbreviation contained in the Tetragrammaton, made up by people ..... it's not holy, it's not special, it certainly is not the name of that which is the Eternal Creator, source of all consciousness, knowledege, wisdom and understanding and power. There IS no name for the Eternal One.

For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 2 TIMOTHY 4:3-4

For me the Urantia Book's mark of "demonic" influence is its total lack of understanding regarding the Christian doctrine of sin or salvation. Other religions are constantly portrayed as "primitive" religions practiced by "primitive men."

Biblical concepts are exchanged for an evolutionary theory which is used to explain the basis for religious differences. The book quotes and paraphrases several portions of the Bible and distorts key biblical truths. For example:

As the savage mind evolved to that point where it envisaged both good and bad spirits, and when the taboo received the solemn sanction of evolving religion, the stage was all set for the appearance of the new conception of sin. p. 975

The concepts of substitutionary atonement and propitiation with blood are viewed by the Urantia as grotesque and grossly primitive. Primitive man believed that something special must be done to win the favor of the gods; only advanced civilization recognizes a consistently even-tempered and benevolent God. p.974

Similar to other cults, the Urantia book speaks of:

the Fatherhood of God and the universal brotherhood of all men. p. 1085
and

God...who dwells, by his spirit, in every sincere human soul. p. 1453.

The Urantia book is said to be written by many people but due to the extraordinary volume of detailed and complex information, it is difficult to conclude that the Urantia Book was the product of multiple imaginations. While that is not out of the realm of possibility, a more plausible explanation is some form of genuine demonic influence.

Similar to the claim for the Book of Mormon, divine revelation did not cease with the 66 canonical books of the Old and New Testaments. However, the Mormon product pales by comparison to the encyclopedic detail and complexity of the Urantia Book. The fact that the Urantia Book agrees with the Bible in certain areas confirms the fact that the author (human and/or demonic) had some level of understanding regarding spiritual themes.

Further, while select statements found in the Urantia Book are not necessarily contradictory to the Bible, a number of critical topics are diametrically in disagreement with sound, orthodox Christian teaching.

We may resort to pure revelation only when the concept of presentation has had no adequate previous expression by the human mind. p.16

...in making these presentations about God and his universe associates, we have selected as the basis of these papers more than one thousand human concepts representing the highest and most advanced planetary knowledge of spiritual values and universal meanings. Wherein these human concepts, assembled from the God-knowing mortals of the past and the present, are inadequate to portray the truth as we are directed to reveal it, we will unhesitatingly supplement them, for this purpose drawing upon our own superior knowledge of the reality and divinity of the Paradise Deities and their transcendent residential universe. p. 17

The Holy Spirit, via the Apostle Paul, instructs believers that spirit beings were capable of communicating with human beings and warned the Christians living in the providence of Galatia to beware of such apocryphal messages.

But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned [anathema]! Galatians 1:8

The proverbial "nail in the coffin" (for me at least) is found on page 1343. The source of the book clearly states that the majority book was based on already available sources.

In carrying out my commission to restate the teachings and retell the doings of Jesus of Nazareth, I have drawn freely upon all sources of record and planetary information. My ruling motive has been to prepare a record which will not only be enlightening to the generation of men now living, but which may also be helpful to all future generations. From the vast store of information made available to me, I have chosen that which is best suited to the accomplishment of this purpose. As far as possible I have derived my information from purely human sources. p.1343

So that you have it. The author (or authors) of the Urantia book readily admit that it is based on "purely human sources".

It's understandable that they'd use a third person contraction when speaking or writing a name which is essentialy IS itself. I believe this is related to not taking the LORDs name in vain, ie, do not say "I AM etc., etc." lightly as you are quite literally invoking the name of the Most High. YHWH means THE one whom "is that they are" in the truest sense. It's a tough cookie to wrap your head around but it becomes clear why it's occulted by various religious groups once you do; the truth sets people free from their bondage and leads them towards the spirit of Christ.

I was born and raised catholic, became non-denominational for the next 30 or so years, started asking questions about the inconsistencies in the bible, especially the old testament.

I can tell you I know all the tricks that christians do to jump through the hoops that they do and answer a question that doesn't HAVE an answer (in the bible anyway). They will twist, contort every which way, in the end presenting only THEIR own understanding of what they THINK is being said in the bible.

Funny thing is, christians are THE most divisive religion on the planet simply becoz they all have their own opinions and perceptions.... mostly as taught to them by their current pastor.

No answers...... just contortions.

There's no proof outside of the bible that jesus even existed. silly tards.

I didn't see a specific question that you asked? I was merely responding to your comment with my own. I found understanding to what YHWH meant and how it became twisted both before and after Babylon through deep linguistic studies with the aid of fortuitous resources and the Holy Scriptures; I don't claim it has magical powers but do think it's special in a sense that the truest most pure interpretation of it leads to a revelatory wellspring of spiritual understanding. I definitely don't think Yahweh, in the sense of speaking that name with it's original direct meaning, is some desert demon or false god which should be slandered and spit upon; although no doubt there is more than one deceiving spirit that likes to be worshipped by the color of the name, they will never be able to get anything more than sounds and confusion from the ignorant hearts they trick.

Also, I have no pastor except Christ and don't contort the Truth even though I sometimes have to contort myself to conform to it.
