    The Late Great Urantia Revelation

    Do you suppose that one might replace the "bible idol" with a different idol of book form? One might have a "bible idol", while another has a different "book idol", and both be in the same 'boat'? Kinda like the pot calling the kettle black? There is an awful big selection of "idol bibles" out...

    The Late Great Urantia Revelation

    Hi, I did read it, and concerning"ringing true", I have some assumptions and/or notions which cause me to question. Firstly, how do I know Jesus ever said those things; and by what authority? 155:6.5 What's his measurement to determine truth vs untruth? Is there an absolute definition of...

    The Late Great Urantia Revelation

    So then what relevance does the Bible have for me today? Since we can't accept it as truth, does it serve any purpose beyond the New York Times or the civil war books? Is there any way to know truth?

    The Late Great Urantia Revelation

    Why did Jesus refer to Moses' writings as scripture and then say that they testified of him? Jesus says if we don't believe Moses, how shall we believe him. Is he saying we should believe Moses because Moses writes about him? John 5:39-47
