Because you state something or subscribe to a viewpoint doesn't make it Truth.

I don't think I ever claimed it did. All sharings are subject to investigation. What I write is free for anyone to accept or reject, or interpret as they like. That's kinda how information works ;)

God doesn't fragment Himself.

You apparently don't understand what is meant by a 'fragment' of 'Deity' indwelling the mind of mortals. That's why the resource-links were provided you. Until you learn the terms, meaning and context of what a 'thought-adjuster' is, you're in the dark, and can only continue to presume and misrepresent.

We Christians do too, but it seems we are more precise.

Sorry, that blanket statement for 'christians' is a bit presumptuous, as I've taken on many a traditional Christian in my time :) More 'precise'? ah, I guess you can tell that to every 'christian' of the many dozens of 'denominations' out there, in the potpourri of theology out there,...yea....pretty 'percise' :noid:

No, I'm not ignoring Satan, I just recognize when he shows up.

That's according your religious imagination,....this 'satan' character which has NOTHING to do however with your education on the function and role of a 'thought-adjuster'. Try again. - (u know ole slewfoot gets blamed for too much as it is eh?)

In the Urantia book it's every word.

Another ridiculous claim, which you'd have to offer proof for,...as much as you'd need to offer proof that the Bible alone is somehow the inerrant, infallible, perfect and final 'word of God'. Again, that puts you back in 'subjectivity-ville' :p

Since you fail to meet the requirements for an at least elementary discussion on the subject here,...you are rendered inept that much,...but that could be remedied with a better education on matters. So,...looks like a stale-mate,...and your 'stuck' in your same 'positioning' from the very first of this thread,....which is going around in the very same circle.....over and over and over.


So it goes...

THE PARADISE TRINITY


THE PARADISE TRINITY of eternal Deities facilitates the Father’s escape from personality absolutism. The Trinity perfectly associates the limitless expression of God’s infinite personal will with the absoluteness of Deity. The Eternal Son and the various Sons of divine origin, together with the Conjoint Actor and his universe children, effectively provide for the Father’s liberation from the limitations otherwise inherent in primacy, perfection, changelessness, eternity, universality, absoluteness, and infinity......

Other than trolls, people who are allowed to think, people who are searching for truth.

Narrow is the bullseye, its sharp and hits the target of truth right in dead center. The broad path is like a bad golfer driving a ball

Jesus of the UB:

" “You have been taught that only the children of Abraham will be saved; that only the gentiles of adoption can hope for salvation. Some of you have reasoned that, since the Scripture record that only Caleb and Joshua from among all the hosts that went out of Egypt lived to enter the promised land, only a comparatively few of those who seek the kingdom of heaven shall find entrance thereto.

166:3.3 “You also have another saying among you, and one that contains much truth: That the way which leads to eternal life is straight and narrow, that the door which leads thereto is likewise narrow so that, of those who seek salvation, few can find entrance through this door. You also have a teaching that the way which leads to destruction is broad, that the entrance thereto is wide, and that there are many who choose to go this way. And this proverb is not without its meaning. But I declare that salvation is first a matter of your personal choosing. Even if the door to the way of life is narrow, it is wide enough to admit all who sincerely seek to enter, for I am that door. And the Son will never refuse entrance to any child of the universe who, by faith, seeks to find the Father through the Son.

166:3.4 “But herein is the danger to all who would postpone their entrance into the kingdom while they continue to pursue the pleasures of immaturity and indulge the satisfactions of selfishness: Having refused to enter the kingdom as a spiritual experience, they may subsequently seek entrance thereto when the glory of the better way becomes revealed in the age to come. And when, therefore, those who spurned the kingdom when I came in the likeness of humanity seek to find an entrance when it is revealed in the likeness of divinity, then will I say to all such selfish ones: I know not whence you are. You had your chance to prepare for this heavenly citizenship, but you refused all such proffers of mercy; you rejected all invitations to come while the door was open. Now, to you who have refused salvation, the door is shut. This door is not open to those who would enter the kingdom for selfish glory. Salvation is not for those who are unwilling to pay the price of wholehearted dedication to doing my Father's will. When in spirit and soul you have turned your backs upon the Father's kingdom, it is useless in mind and body to stand before this door and knock, saying, `Lord, open to us; we would also be great in the kingdom.' Then will I declare that you are not of my fold. I will not receive you to be among those who have fought the good fight of faith and won the reward of unselfish service in the kingdom on earth. And when you say, `Did we not eat and drink with you, and did you not teach in our streets?' then shall I again declare that you are spiritual strangers; that we were not fellow servants in the Father's ministry of mercy on earth; that I do not know you; and then shall the Judge of all the earth say to you: `Depart from us, all you who have taken delight in the works of iniquity.'

166:3.5 “But fear not; every one who sincerely desires to find eternal life by entrance into the kingdom of God shall certainly find such everlasting salvation. But you who refuse this salvation will some day see the prophets of the seed of Abraham sit down with the believers of the gentile nations in this glorified kingdom to partake of the bread of life and to refresh themselves with the water thereof. And they who shall thus take the kingdom in spiritual power and by the persistent assaults of living faith will come from the north and the south and from the east and the west. And, behold, many who are first will be last, and those who are last will many times be first.”

From where you're standing, theres a tight rope that is attached at the truth target. You clamp yourself on that rope so you can stray off to read what you posted above but with you being attached to that rope, you return back to the path of the target of pure truth, the scriptures. I'm not saying you can't read all those extra things but you use the scriptures to confirm the truths of the extra writings. I read lots of extras but at some points you have to cut the rope to wonder off. You may never find thst white rope in the blizzard. If you find something the scriptures can't confirm then you have no insurance that the extra are the truth.
You have already wondered off by cutting yourself away from the rope. The rope is nowhere to be found. You read the Scriptures like fairy tales not being sure of any truths anywhere. The truths are in the scriptures. You see errors in the original scripture and truths in the extras

A PERFECT analogy... Caino and Freelight are just like my golf game: every time I hit the ball it's further from the hole than when I swung at it. :chuckle:

While Truths of Scripture are subject to interpretation, they are not cherries, to be picked over and some tossed aside. You've tossed aside your whole Bible, I'll bet.
You apparently don't understand what is meant by a 'fragment' of 'Deity' indwelling the mind of mortals. That's why the resource-links were provided you.

Except you're born again, you cannot see The Kingdom, so: touché.

It would be ridiculous for anyone calling themselves: "Christian," to even look at the first chapter of the Urantia nonsense. It isn't from God, obviously.

I don't worship the scripture and I don't trust the people who killed Jesus.

I don't see how Jesus paraphrasing a passage attributed to him, expounding more on it, indicates straying from some concept of a 'truth-rope' you describe,...since I don't see a different meaning being explained here from the NT gospel accounts, only an expanded commentary on such. If you see something wrong or diabolical with the UB account, show where specifically.

You have no proof anyhow that the 4 gospels canonized in the NT are a complete, perfect or final record of Jesus teachings, you only assume such. There are many non-canonical works that have sayings ascribed to Jesus,...these like any other are to be examined upon their own merits. The extensive gospel teachings of Jesus in the UB stands among these extra-biblical texts, their value being recognized by those who study them. Truth is truth wherever it is found,....and the Spirit of truth is not limited to one culture or dispensation anywhere, as there is ever 'progressive revelation'.

Serious YES....if wer're talking about education of the material.....

Serious people?

UB theology is astonishingly very consistent, with its own terms, values, meanings, cosmology, etc. Just looking at one passage without having familiarized yourself with the terms and their meanings (the over contextual overlay of the theology/cosmology) and all its inner-workings and dynamics, is insufficient in giving an informed understanding of what is being communicated,...which is why first learning the 'terms' from the presentations themselves is essential (i.e. reading the papers).

The Foreword however concise and complex,..gives a summation of the entire theological system and cosmological whole. Each paper then expounds its own title-subject in great detail, so its available for anyone interested in such. No one is forcing anyone to read anything, but this is a discussion on the UB, so its only fair, logical and consistent to familiarize oneself with the material. If one is not interested, they can find another thread to engage.

Because you choose ignorance, presumption and idiocy over facts.

See: Here

As least such buffoonery, is helping to spread further corrections of your misrepresentations. So troll away,...you only expose yourself.
