I Was Overwhelmed...
(Anonymous)
I am a technical manager in one of the largest govt companies in India
with nearly three decades of professional work experience in this
company in various capacities. By education and training, I
am chemical engineer, with work experience and interest in
water and waste water engineering.
I have been born and brought up in a Syrian Christian family of Kerala
and have always been maintaining the relationship as a member of my
church. During my youth days some atheistic view points had entered in
my mind, but later my intelligent mind discarded those thoughts and I
have been a firm believer of a super intelligent God behind everything.
I had got the opportunity to understand the religious concepts of
Hinduism, Islam and others, though not very deeply, in addition to
those of my own religion-Christianity. Of all these,
Christianity appealed to me as comparatively more logical and
acceptable to an intelligent mind.
But, even on a casual approach, I could see that there were many
contradictions in the Bible and I was a bit confused with the stand
taken by many of the Christian teachers and
believers about the verbatim truthfulness of Bible as a whole and that
it is the true word of God.
The Bible presented the concept that God is Love, but
there existed long depictions of God inspired violence, war
and God as the God of Armies.
But at the same time the teachings of Jesus Christ as given in the
Bible gave a different picture.
So in the recent past, I have been using my spare time to surf the
internet to find out what the net savvy people say on these.
Then quite unexpectedly, the Truthbook site and The Urantia Book came
to my vision.
It is just a month ago.
I was overwhelmed as I glanced at these presentations- I have not yet read
all the papers, but only a few. Every word of those
I read, was logical and acceptable to my
intelligence, though my limited brain could not comprehend the vast
knowledge it presented, with one reading.
No one in this part of the world, to my knowledge, has known the
existence of this marvellous revelation of truth, yet.
I wonder whether there could be similar ones like me who could be in
fellowship to study this book and enhance our lives by true knowledge
under the everloving presence of the UNIVERSAL FATHER, guidance of
Jesus Christ and the hosts of the spiritual worlds.
Yours with Love,
