I don't read your propaganda my friend and fellow poster.
The Urantia book mystically appeared in about 1955, on a park bench or something? There is a Kellogg (the cereal folks) connection to the book. It's a scam. Naive people fall for scams all the time.
JUNK in its purest form!
Freelight and Caino are our "Resident Kooks."
These two "Excentric" gentlemen are confined to this one area of whimsy, now. Silly Cuckoo Birds in a cage.
The Bible evolved over time, the same stories were repeated but with different explanations.
2 Samuel 24:1
Now again the anger of the Lord burned against Israel, and it incited David against them to say, “Go, number Israel and Judah.”
1 Chronicles 21:1
"Then Satan stood up against Israel and moved David to number Israel. So David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, "Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan, and bring me word that I may know their number."…
I'm not an all or nothing person when it comes to what people write. To me the Bible books that make up the current cannon list (there were others) are like the newspaper, we can get a general idea of what happened, or the exaggerations about what happened bearing in mind the bias of the reporters.
The religion that God wrote the Bible is a form of idolatry. And some of the books mentioned in the Bible disappeared, so your claim that God keeps it all together is what is really silly.
Funny, they said Jesus got his powers from demons to. Every time right wingers don't like something new they claim it came from Satan or demons. Just because the church government convinced you of that silliness doesn't mean everyone buys into it.

Lons link to Truthbook:
"On a personal note, I used to be highly intrigued by UFO sightings and tales. After discovering The Urantia Book that interest dwindled to where now I'd be interested in seeing one but other than that I pay the phenomenon little attention."
Question: What was Gabriel how did he get here? Who were the three beings that met with Abraham at Mamre and how did they get here?
You fell for the Hebrews redacted version of their history so correct, naïve people fall for scams all the time.

I've fully addressed and corrected the UFO issue in the links and many posts provided (here and beyond)....a few which are from Truthbook site as well. Note your link to this particular article does not prove the UB is a 'UFO cult', and that the writer only offers his own opinions of what UFOs might be from within a UB context, and this includes his conjecture about midway creatures using some kind of transport vehicles, or some other off-world civilization using some kind of transport vehicles who might be assisting mid-way creatures,...and note these are purely speculative. - the UB does not speak of any physical craft or technology.
Lets remind the public again,....there are no connections that the UB has with our modern conception of UFO phenomena, ET contacts and the like, since the papers came thru mysterious means thru a human channel as a kind of 'relay station' thru which various celestial personalities gave information and answered various questions about God, the universe, creation and so on. It would behoove any serious student of religion and philosophy to actually read the content of the material, since what is being communicated is what is important, not speculation or assumptions of whether UFO's or 'aliens' are somehow connected in some way.

Also, have you read the Foreward or the first 12 papers which lay down the fundamental theology of the papers, from which more is revealed. Have you done that much, to educate yourself on the material? If you want to engage a discussion intelligently or critique a book, you need to familiarize yourself with the text, and not just cherry-picking sections that you can purposely demean and ridicule. But demeaning, belittling and ridiculing seems to the M.O. of most of the critics here. They aren't interested in discussion, and their posts prove it. When they are interested in using the papers as a springboard to engage in a 'creative dialogue', an exploration and expansion of consciousness,...the exchange here will be more fruitful.
The most important thing about a religious text, is what is being communicated,....the religious/philosophical values, principles, concepts, ideals, etc. This is the core issue within the 'story-telling' of any religious book or inspired writing....whether using historically accurate facts, parables or mythology. The UB heralds an emphasis on values and meanings. This is important as one contemplates and studies a text. It might behoove you to consider that.

Using scare tactics and pseudographical proof-texts for 'this' or 'that' don't exactly impress, except from one assuming he has some 'higher truth' and hes using certain 'verses' to bolster his own belief-system and 'brow-beat' others who he assumes are beneath him.
God's love welcomes all.

'Hell' can surely be a fictional place within the religious imagination. Also, Jesus spoke more of 'Gehenna' than 'hades', which was a trash dump in the valley of Hinnom. You need to consider all the words translated into the English word 'hell' first, and determine their true meaning within any given 'context'. There is 'gehenna', 'hades', 'sheol', 'tartaroo'...then the 'lake of fire' mentioned in Rev....but they do not all refer to the same thing or place.
See: what the hell is hell?

God's Word is the highest truth. The ub is fabricated junk, so it isn't on the list of truth. Telling you that you are lost is being kind to you.

One might just do better by not understanding or thinking about UFO Cults. Know what I mean?
Caino and FL sure do cling to their "Little Green Men" friends. I wonder how many UFO trips each of them has gone on?
You "Odd types" don't believe in Hell, yet, you trust in your UFOs and little green men beliefs? I find that quite fascinating.
