Spiritual Advice and Guidance Blog: Urantia Book

Q: Where was Jesus during the period before he re-entered public life at 30? And what was he doing? It is rumoured that he went to India?!

A: Jesus is such an outstanding historical figure that he has inspired countless imaginations over the past two thousand years and if you search diligently you'll be able to find some author somewhere who has given voice to Jesus having said everything, done everything, or gone everywhere so you're correct in saying that it's rumored that Jesus went to India.

You've brought up an issue which is the cause for so many people turning to The Urantia Book to learn the truth as it is most fully disclosed today -- the account of Jesus' life and teachings given in The Urantia Book claims to be extracted from the records of the recording angels. Is it reallY? There's only one way to find out and to know with certainty, and that's to read the book and to determine the truth or falsity of such a claim for oneself.

It is interesting to note, hoever, that in The Urantia Book, an account is given of a two-year trip that Jesus took with an Indian merchant and his young son, to whom Jesus served as tutor. He also served as interpreter for both father and son on this tour of the Mediterranean world.

The Urantia Book contains over 700 pages of detailed day by day description of Jesus' existence before birth, his birth, childhood, young adulthood, maturity, ministry, teachings, death, resurrection and beyond. If you want to know who Jesus really was and what Jesus really did you will want to read The Urantia Book.
