Spiritual Advice and Guidance Blog: Urantia Book

Q: Are there any other gods besides Jesus Christ who rule non-Christians?

A: There is but one God, God the Father, who rules all of creation. Jesus is not God but he is our heavenly parent. He came to earth, not just for Christians or to establish the Christian religion, but for all people, all races, all religions to give the message that we're all spiritual brothers and sisters since God is our heavenly Father. It just ended up that Christianity decided to make Jesus their own to the exclusion of other religions. That's partly the reason we have the teachings of The Urantia Book, to help us understand history and to put religion and spirituality into perspective and to give Jesus to everyone who seeks.

Your second question was: What should be done to entrust our life in jesus and be a true believer?

That's a good question and the answer is all you need to do is at some point to sit quietly and prayerfully and talk to Jesus in your mind. Tell Jesus you want to know him better and want to entrust your life to his care. Do this meditatively and prayerfully and you will feel a connection. Trust your own understanding and reception of truth -- when Jesus left this world he left his Spirit of Truth in his place to help guide us toward truth, beauty, and goodness. Rely on that guidance, fear not, and trust Jesus.

Why did the powers that be decide to disclose this information with such detail?

Q: Why did the powers that be decide to disclose this information with such detail?

A: The Urantia Book explains that the reason for this specific epochal revelation is to provide clear and concise answers to some of life's more perplexing questions, to help clear away some of the confusion and doubt inherent in the studies of science, religion, philosophy, biology, astronomy, geology, sociology, and to provide a straight-forward depiction of the life and teachings of Jesus. This is provided with the intent to restore some of the spiritual, religious, and social guidance lost through error and default throughout the long and bumpy human history.

Being free-will creatures, most humans relish being exposed to new thoughts and ideas, new concepts, new information that offers new points of view, new decisions, new choices. Most students of The Urantia Book are gladly thankful to have discovered this exquisite source of knowledge and the sense of peace it offers by so fully disclosing our place and value in the cosmos.

If you've not already done so, may I recommend subscribing to our Quote of the Day. It offers daily inspirational and meaningful quotes from The Urantia Book along with a great picture.
