ABIDE IN ME. JESUS for everyone.

:. . . whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." Phillipians 4:8


KD. where is this mess of a world do we see this at least in politics.. not often The above is worthy bible statement... but not all are worthy.. which is why it is not the world of God.

ub paper 92

"Civilization, science, and advanced religions must deliver mankind from those fears born of the dread of natural phenomena. And so should greater enlightenment deliver educated mortals from all dependence on intermediaries in communion with Deity."


KD because you are indwelled by a spirit fragment of the Father who is YOUR personal God....He indwells YOUR MIND and can be accessed by MEDITATION...:Love to you 2:

"When you are tempted to doubt the sureness of your bread, consider the ravens; they sow not neither reap, they have no storehouses or barns, and yet the Father provides food for every one of them that seeks it." Jesus

he went there after surviving the cross.... settled in Kashmir actually as his base. Married... had 5 kids... and passed this world when he was about 115 years old. I just saw the video as I came here to post.. I have not watched it yet.

but it won't be in the bible.. not a case of left out of the bible... He quietly went there after leaving Damascus... after the cross... remember.. there was the Saul story in Damascus.

"It is by the ministry of the angels that one world may be kept in touch with other worlds, for have I not repeatedly told you that I have other sheep not of this fold?"


Right there people is his statement EArth is not alone for those who refuse to look.

"The faith acceptance of the truth of God enables man to escape from the circumscribed confines of material limitations and affords him a rational hope of achieving safe conduct from the material realm, whereon is death, to the spiritual realm, wherein is life eternal."
UB paper 101

This says it all.. the most simple God statement ... and its all humans.. not just Christian ones.. ALL humankind that senses and seeks faith and God of some sort. Those who seek the ETERNAL people... so stop killing those who cultural belief system is different that "yours"....God is felt in the heart when discovered and there are animals on this world living around humans that are discovering the eternal. And those that do have a human life next time.

"Man can never take the love of the Father and imprison it within his heart. The Father's love can become real to mortal man only by passing through that man's personality as he in turn bestows this love upon his fellows.
From UB paper 117.

"The experience of dynamic religious living transforms the mediocre individual into a personality of idealistic power."

UB paper 104


**************

Notice this says religious LIVING... not church boredom and feeling special for a church Jesus did not start... and it means not stuffing the fake hell down everybody you don't like.

"When both science and religion become less dogmatic and more tolerant of criticism, philosophy will then begin to achieve unity in the intelligent comprehension of the universe." 133:5.7 (1477.2)


UB paper 133.

"Economic necessities tie man up with reality, and personal religious experience brings this same man face to face with the eternal realities of an ever-expanding and progressing cosmic citizenship."


UB paper 99.

and folks progressive cosmic citizenship is the life eternal.

"Religionists are of no more value in the tasks of social reconstruction than non-religionists except in so far as their religion has conferred upon them enhanced cosmic foresight and endowed them with that superior social wisdom which is born of the sincere desire to love God supremely and to love every man as a brother in the heavenly kingdom."

UB paper 99.

"Let me assure you that victory shall eventually crown our united efforts to enlighten the world and liberate mankind."


Jesus Christ UB paper #174

:gratitude of ear:

They carried the tabernacle with them wherever they went. That is the presence. Stay inside of it. Leave it and it's a rough world.

Indeed... and few yet are aware what their tabernacle is.

"Although both science and philosophy may assume the probability of God by their reason and logic, only the personal religious experience of a spirit-led man can affirm the certainty of such a supreme and personal Deity."


UB paper 103:hugs from Father:

"I admonish you that, while you recognize temptation honestly and sincerely for just what it is, you intelligently redirect the energies of spirit, mind, and body, which are seeking expression, into higher channels and toward more idealistic goals." Jesus,


From UB paper 156

"In all the business of the kingdom I exhort you to show just judgment and keen wisdom. Present not that which is holy to dogs, neither cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample your gems under foot and turn to rend you."


KD... This one sure applies at this time and always...

[link to www.urantia.org (secure)] This paper is well worth your time to read. It is about the ordination of his apostles back then...wonderful information.

here is a bit more from the same UB paper 140 in the linky on this topic.


140:3.18 (1571.5) “Discern the truth clearly; live the righteous life fearlessly; and so shall you be my apostles and my Father’s ambassadors. You have heard it said: ‘If the blind lead the blind, they both shall fall into the pit.’ If you would guide others into the kingdom, you must yourselves walk in the clear light of living truth. In all the business of the kingdom I exhort you to show just judgment and keen wisdom. Present not that which is holy to dogs, neither cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample your gems under foot and turn to rend you.

140:3.17 (1571.4) “You are commissioned to save men, not to judge them. At the end of your earth life you will all expect mercy; therefore do I require of you during your mortal life that you show mercy to all of your brethren in the flesh. Make not the mistake of trying to pluck a mote out of your brother’s eye when there is a beam in your own eye. Having first cast the beam out of your own eye, you can the better see to cast the mote out of your brother’s eye.

140:4.4 (1572.4) “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and be led to glorify your Father who is in heaven.”

"Be patient, be gentle. Be ever obedient to the Father's will. Make yourselves ready for the call of the kingdom."

Another quote from the above link paper 137. You in Christianity would much enjoy this paper and Paper 140 in the link in the previous post.. These will warm your hearts and given insight ..

This is the entire paragraph here which includes the short quote above.

*******

137:6.5 (1533.3) Jesus instructed them to take up their regular duties until “the hour of the kingdom comes.” And to encourage them, he set an example by going back regularly to work in the boatshop. In explaining that they should spend three hours every evening in study and preparation for their future work, Jesus further said: “We will all remain hereabout until the Father bids me call you. Each of you must now return to his accustomed work just as if nothing had happened. Tell no man about me and remember that my kingdom is not to come with noise and glamor, but rather must it come through the great change which my Father will have wrought in your hearts and in the hearts of those who shall be called to join you in the councils of the kingdom. You are now my friends; I trust you and I love you; you are soon to become my personal associates. Be patient, be gentle. Be ever obedient to the Father’s will. Make yourselves ready for the call of the kingdom. While you will experience great joy in the service of my Father, you should also be prepared for trouble, for I warn you that it will be only through much tribulation that many will enter the kingdom. But those who have found the kingdom, their joy will be full, and they shall be called the blest of all the earth. But do not entertain false hope; the world will stumble at my words. Even you, my friends, do not fully perceive what I am unfolding to your confused minds. Make no mistake; we go forth to labor for a generation of sign seekers. They will demand wonder-working as the proof that I am sent by my Father, and they will be slow to recognize in the revelation of my Father’s love the credentials of my mission.”
