The Truth About Urantia

The Book of Urantia was a surprise visitor to my neck of the woods the other day. By the time you're done reading this I pray that you'll be amazed by the power of the Holy Spirit who took this uninvited guest and used it to show us some important truths.

Simply put, you'll won't believe just how insidious this plan towards a Great Deception has been all along and since the very beginning.

I came across mention of it on another blog and had a brief flashback of sorts. As crazy as it sounds, I actually purchased my own copy of The Urantia Book back in roughly 1997 or 1998 soon after I started college and well before I really knew who Jesus Christ was and became saved.

I'll never forget the experience. I remember that back then I was slowly being drawn into the occult world without even realizing it. Sure, I believed in a god, but it wasn't anything like the God of the Holy Bible. No, my god was what I wanted him to be as I picked what I liked from various belief systems and discarded the rest.

At the same time, I was an avid researcher into the whole Roswell Incident and the so-called "Alien/UFO" phenomenon. I can look back now and see God's divine hand involved in all of that and get why He put that desire into my heart for so long before He found me and I responded to His call.

Anyway, I'll never forget how excited I was to learn that there was this "ancient" book filled with "long lost secrets" about the universe and makind's role in it. I was particularly intrigued by the fact that such a book also contained knowledge about the "extraterrestrial" phenomenon so that was a big plus too.

The day I went to Barnes&Noble to purchase it I was with my girlfriend at the time. We headed straight for the "New Age" section (well, I did at least) and I knew how to find it fast because the book stood out amongst all the others. From what I had read, not only was it a very thick book, but it was emblazoned with an Azure Blue cover.



"Jackpot!" I thought as I picked up the one and only copy. My girlfriend was a little confused, surprised, and I think scared. Her comment, "What the hell is this? Are you planning on starting a cult?" Little did I know back then that this was one of the first times in my young adult life when the Holy Spirit was trying to get my attention and speak to me through someone close to me. Looking back I laugh at the irony of the words "hell" and "cult" that she used in the only thing she ever said about my purchase that day.

Upon returning home, I couldn't wait to read it from cover-to-cover despite it being something like1,000-2,000 pages if my memory serves me correctly. A funny thing happened though. Whenever I tried to sit down and read that book, I found myself overcome with a deep sense of guilt and shame. Again, I didn't realize it at the time, but this too was the Holy Spirit convicting me and trying to get my attention. I couldn't understand, but I kept thinking how I should at least read the Holy Bible from cover-to-cover first before I took the time to read The Urantia Book.

But once I saw that The Urantia Book included so many references to Jesus and the Archangels and such I was ok with moving forward just as I had planned. So, I did just that. I didn't get far because there was just so much info and a lot of it without any real frame of reference. The feelings of guilt and shame continued and I put The Urantia Book in a bottom drawer of a dresser I had where it sat until just after 9/11.

Many of you are familiar with my testimony and how 9/11 was a catalyst -- the defining moment -- that ultimately put me in God's beautiful hands once and for all. Well, soon after that horrible day, I went back to that drawer and took out The Urantia Book desperate to find some answers about what had just happened. Yet, for reasons I can't quite explain even to this day, I read portions of it side-by-side with the Book of Revelation, which was the very first time I ever opened up a Bible to read a specific Book (aside from reading a few Proverbs in school here and there).

I stuck with the Book of Revelation, found the answers I was looking for, and tossed The Urantia Book in the trash. The rest, as they say, is history! I needed to share that anecdote because I believe it supports what I'm going to assert in this next section. Remember, I wasn't a Christian at all when I experienced the Holy Spirit convicting me for having The Urantia Book in my life and for attempting to make it play a big role in it too. That can't be lost on us here.

At this point, I want to share an excellent study on why we need to be wary of this religion, their Bible, and those who defend and promote it. Dare I suggest that this could one day serve as the foundation for the New World Order's One World Religion with a guy like Maitreya at the head?


THE TRUTH ABOUT URANTIA AND THE URANTIA BOOK



It doesn't take a lot of discernment even from those new to the Christian faith to realize that this is not something they want to play around with.

The most glaring example of unsettling "truth" positions taken is that The Urantia Book separates Lucifer from both Satan and the Devil. Don't ask me how they try to sell this one, but they do.

The Urantia Book is a massive book, 2,097 pages long. It originated in Chicago, IL sometime between 1924 and 1955 (Obama wasn't born until 1961 so there goes that first thought). As early as 1911, William S. Sadler and his wife Lena Sadler, Physicians in Chicago and well known in the community, were approached by a neighbor who was concerned because she would occasionally find her husband in a deep sleep and breathing abnormally. She reported that she was unable to wake him at these times. The Sadlers came to observe the episodes, and over time, the individual produced verbal communications that claimed to be from "student visitor" spiritual beings. Hmmm, sounds an awful lot like "channeling" and like what that occultic psychic medium Blossom Goodchild and her ilk are always up to.

This changed in early 1925 with a "voluminous handwritten document", which from then on became the regular method of purported communication. The Sadlers were both respected Physicians, and William Sadler was a debunker of paranormal claims, who is portrayed as not believing in the supernatural. In 1929, he published a book called The Mind At Mischief, in which he explained the fraudulent methods of mediums and how self-deception leads to psychic claims.

In 1924, a group of Sadler's friends, former patients, and colleagues began meeting for Sunday intellectual discussions, but became interested in the strange communications when Sadler mentioned the case and read samples at their request. Shortly afterwards, a communication reportedly was received that this group would be allowed to devise questions and that answers would be given by celestial beings through the "contact personality". Sadler presented this development to the group, and they generated hundreds of questions without full seriousness, but their claim is that it resulted in the appearance of answers in the form of fully written papers. They became more impressed with the quality of the answers and continued to ask questions, until all papers now collected together as The Urantia Book were obtained.

There has been much debate and speculation on how the papers were produced and who the authors were. No one knows where this material originally came from, but the general explanation is that it was brought here to Earth by Angelic Beings to speed up the enlightenment of mankind.

According to these Angelic Beings, people on Earth are very confused about who God is and about the spiritual realms in general, and this material was brought here to bring order to this confusion. The Urantia Book was brought to us by spirits from our "local astral realm" and not from God directly. In that case, to a Christian, this book makes it inferior to the Bible.

Ah yes! See, so even from the very beginning there's just enough truth contained in their story to whet one's appetite (especially the appetite of those seeking real answers) and tickle the senses. What a maneuver by the Subtle Serpent!

The writers introduce the word "Urantia" as the name of the planet Earth, and state their intent is to "present enlarged concepts and advanced truth" in an "endeavor to expand cosmic consciousness and enhance spiritual perception". Among many other topics, it expounds on the origin and meaning of life, describes humankind's place in the universe, discusses the relationship between God and people, and presents a detailed biography of Jesus during those "missing years".

Published in 1955, The Urantia Book says that Lucifer is a brilliant spirit personality, a "son of God", who at one time ruled this constellation of 607 inhabited planets. He fell into an iniquitous rebellion against the ordained universe governmental regime in a denial of God’s existence saying he was God. "There was war in Heaven" but, according to The Urantia Book, the story has become convoluted over time.

Lucifer recruited Satan, another brilliant being of the same order, to represent his cause to the universe authorities on Earth. The then "Planetary Prince of Earth", Caligastia -- one and the same as "the devil", believed Lucifer’s cause and subsequently aligned himself, along with 37 other Planetary Princes in the system, with the rebels. They all attempted to take their entire populations of their planets under the assertion of a false doctrine, a "Declaration of Liberty" which would have driven them to darkness, evil, sin and iniquity.

When Jesus of Nazareth went up to Mount Hermon for the "temptation", it was really to settle this iniquitous rebellion for the triumph of the entire system. "Said Jesus of Caligastia: 'Now is the judgment of this world; now shall the prince of this world be cast down.'" Subsequently, Lucifer, Satan, Caligastia and all the personalities who followed them, figuratively "fell from Heaven". They were actually and literally all "dethroned and shorn of their governing powers" by the appropriate universe authorities and most have been replaced. Subsequent to their efforts to corrupt Jesus while incarnated in the flesh on Earth, any and all sympathy for them or their cause, outside the worlds of sin and rebellion, has ceased. [Source]

At this point, I think we've seen enough to know that there is nothing "Christian" about this Book except for the fact that it uses Biblical names for similar figures in its stories. In the event that you can't see what the big deal is, or if you perhaps feel as though it's ok to believe The Book of Urantia because it somehow "complements" or "fills in the blanks that the Bible leaves", I wouls STRONGLY urge you to consider these notable comparisons:


KEY DIFFERENCES WITH CHRISTIANITY

> Jesus' crucifixion is not considered an atonement for the sins of humanity. The crucifixion is taught to be an outcome of the fears of religious leaders of the day, who regarded his teachings as a threat to their positions of authority.

> God is never wrathful or angry. He is a personality entirely motivated by Father-like love.
> Jesus is the human incarnation of "Michael of Nebadon" (strangely close to the name "Abaddon"), one of more than 700,000 "Paradise Sons" of God, or "Creator Sons".

> Jesus is not considered the second person of the Trinity as he is in Christianity. The book refers to the Eternal Son as the second person of the Trinity.

> Jesus was born on Earth through natural means of conception instead of a virgin birth.

> Jesus did not walk on water or perform some of the miracles that are attributed to him in the Bible.

> Jesus commissioned 12 women (and later more) as religious teachers, who traveled about with him and his apostles on their preaching missions.

> Jesus rose from the dead in a "more glorified form", reflective of a transitional state between material and spiritual existence known as "morontia". As with all mortals, his physical body was subject to decomposition, but celestial beings removed his body from the tomb for the dissolution of his remains through a process of "accelerated time".

> The emergence of humans is presented as having occurred about a million years ago from a branch of superior primates originating from a lemur ancestor. Really? This was being promoted by The Book of Urantia since 1955, huh? That's odd. Boy, they must feel like they're following the script brilliantly then because I seem to recall some big news from May 2009 to this point with "Ida".

> The book states that Jesus may return to the world many times. This contrasts with traditional Christian eschatology, in which Jesus returns only once.



Is that evidence clear enough for you? I'm sorry, but there's no way anyone will ever convince me of the merits of The Book of Urantia when I can see with my own two eyes how such lies contradict the fundamental tenets of the Christian faith.

Please my dear brothers and sisters in Christ, if you are someone who's caught up in the lies offered by The Book of Urantia and/or you know somehow who has a twisted theology because of this false doctrine then please pray to the real Jesus Christ as described to us in the Holy Bible for deliverance right now whether it's for you or for them (or for both of you).

Bottom line? Urantia ain't the truth. The real truth will set you free!

Jeff, This is the first time that I heard of the book of Urantia. Thanks for enlightening us.

Yes Jeff, thanks for enlightening everyone to the knowledge of the existence of The Urantia Book. Many might not know of it if not for you exposing it as you do.

It's a wonderful book. I've had one since 1959 when my grandmother in Chicago sent me one. She was involved with the reception of the book. She was a certified public accountant and a smart woman, nobody's fool.

It's not an "ancient" book at all. Why is that word in quote marks in your sentence? And it does not contain knowledge about the "extraterrestrial phenomenon."

***For Jeff,

Sorry, not on FB right now, but wanted to get this to you. It's not about blue or that, but ties into how plans are "out in open" under guises of games, etc.

Today at McDonald's with kids, guy in next booth had a t-shirt that caught my eye. Why? on the back was a partial quote...

"I am actually an ancient babylonian god awoken from a terrible sleep..."

So, after discreetly trying to figure out what else was on his shirt, I couldn't, other than the front which was "How to be a villain" On the back it said something about "ensemble" and had names.

Of course, now I couldn't let it go. Came home and search-engined it. I couldn't find any plays by that name, but did come across the following

First of all, the full quote is "I am actually an ancient Babylonian god awoken from a terrible sleep and destined to destroy all mankind."

(From Forces of Darkness..website: http://evil-guide.tripod.com/forces.html - NOTE: it appears to be in a quiz of some sort as it also came up as answer on other sites/blogs).

So, searched out the "How to be a Villain" and it came up as a book. Interestingly enough, the above quote is no where in connection with this book (at least not evident) on any of the book seller sites I looked at.

The book title is "How to Be a Villain: Evil Laughs, Secret Lairs, Master Plans, and More!!! and was written by Neil Zawaki and is in the humor category. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0811846660/qid=1047952642/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/104-7770834-6402301?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

While it may be listed in humor, it's very serious business that people are messing with and don't even realize it.

Another interesting thing is that when I pulled this book up there is the phrase "This book is in a Controlled Release!" (on bookcrossings.com, not sure if it's that way in Amazon).

I tried to find out more about that, but couldn't (maybe just too tired to really look) but it struck me that "controlled release" usually deals with pharma, foods, vet supplies...

Again, this is all supposed to be "in fun" but a quick visit to the website that is a companion with the book (also by Neil), it talks about unholy army of the night. It also talks about construction of weather machines. And that's ONE brief paragraph on home page.

Is this more "hidden in front of your face" type psy ops? (Yes, that was rhetorical).

The website is the same one mentioned above
http://evil-guide.tripod.com/

Did not go any further than the home page because I did not feel led to. Anyway, it just really popped out at me and this is a quick topical search (not more than 5 minutes), but what a search...babylonian gods, mankind's destruction, "controlled release" tie to pharma, world domination, weather machines, unholy armies of night and more.

I can't imagine what would have come up if I had kept going. Wanted to share it with you since I know you look out for these types of things.

Get a load of this...more mass condiioning from a new video game. This is the end of the game. Nice demon/alien woman explaining how they created us, etc.

The Urantia Book (which is not the "Book of Urantia") explicitly presents itself as "revelation", but just as explictly acknowledges the impossibility of expressing much of the truth of God and the universe in a way comprehensible to the minds of mortals.

This is a perspective worth considering - especially when tempted to declaim in absolute fashion about what is and is not - even what "can" and "cannot" be - the case with God.

The Urantia Book can be a real mind-opener - at least for those who go in for that sort of thing.
