Location of the original "Garden of Eden" according to the UB 38,000 BC
3. The Garden Site
(823.1) 73:3.1 The committee on location was absent for almost three years. It reported favorably concerning three possible locations: The first was an island in the Persian Gulf; the second, the river location subsequently occupied as the second garden; the third, a long narrow peninsula — almost an island — projecting westward from the eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea.
(823.2) 73:3.2 The committee almost unanimously favored the third selection. This site was chosen, and two years were occupied in transferring the world’s cultural headquarters, including the tree of life, to this Mediterranean peninsula. All but a single group of the peninsula dwellers peaceably vacated when Van and his company arrived.
(823.3) 73:3.3 This Mediterranean peninsula had a salubrious climate and an equable temperature; this stabilized weather was due to the encircling mountains and to the fact that this area was virtually an island in an inland sea. While it rained copiously on the surrounding highlands, it seldom rained in Eden proper. But each night, from the extensive network of artificial irrigation channels, a “mist would go up” to refresh the vegetation of the Garden.
(823.4) 73:3.4 The coast line of this land mass was considerably elevated, and the neck connecting with the mainland was only twenty-seven miles wide at the narrowest point. The great river that watered the Garden came down from the higher lands of the peninsula and flowed east through the peninsular neck to the mainland and thence across the lowlands of Mesopotamia to the sea beyond. It was fed by four tributaries which took origin in the coastal hills of the Edenic peninsula, and these are the “four heads” of the river which “went out of Eden,” and which later became confused with the branches of the rivers surrounding the second garden.
(823.5) 73:3.5 The mountains surrounding the Garden abounded in precious stones and metals, though these received very little attention. The dominant idea was to be the glorification of horticulture and the exaltation of agriculture.
(823.6) 73:3.6 The site chosen for the Garden was probably the most beautiful spot of its kind in all the world, and the climate was then ideal. Nowhere else was there a location which could have lent itself so perfectly to becoming such a paradise of botanic expression. In this rendezvous the cream of the civilization of Urantia was forgathering. Without and beyond, the world lay in darkness, ignorance, and savagery. Eden was the one bright spot on Urantia; it was naturally a dream of loveliness, and it soon became a poem of exquisite and perfected landscape glory.

I'll give you this much; religion is both subjective, and up to personal
interpretation! Everyone has, not only the ability but the right to
believe what they choose! If one chooses to involve themselves in
a cult, a philosophy or a particular church or denomination, that's
their right! However, we have to be willing to withstand the attacks
on those same beliefs! Some are good at that, some are not!

Temper, temper! You didn't admit to reading the entire Bible, and
yet, you implore me to do a "deep study" of your material! How do
you justify your expectations?

Freelight, I could say the same of you! You haven't read the entire Bible
therefore, you're not qualified to debate the issues either?

Your quotation of Freelight is a total and intentional misrepresentation.
That's called false witnessing in case you didn't know.
What quotation?
Again, you'll have to excuse Lev's ludicrous comments!

The one in post #2664
Reads like this:
Done to give the impression that Freelight said "No" to the question of if he had read the bible.
Glad you asked so that someone just now coming into the thread will know.

I wonder if the Pilgrims gave a hoot about the Native Americans religion when they were starving to death, I bet they were thankful for the help from a fellow human being.
I don't see "your" problem? Freelight has not stated that he/she has
read the entire Bible cover to cover!
When I try to cut the post down so the quotation isn't extensive, I
may miss a letter or two! This is totally unintentional! Therefore, I
still say that Freelight has yet admitted to reading the entire Bible!

Of all the people that I have met on this site, Freelight is the most stable, calm, graceful, and Christ like of the bunch, I gave him what for when I was still spewing the party line, but now I consider him a friend.
What your saying, makes no sense?

You've just admitted what you are denying, if you could but see it.
That's because you don't see it. Observe what is highlighted in yellow.
He stated that he has "ALSO READ" the UB, right after speaking of reading the bible.
That means yes, he has read the bible too.

He appears to me to be someone who has seen God.
1 John 4:12 states: "No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us."
Freelight isn't a Christian, so if he's seen God (Not possible) it's not true!
Also, you have no discernment Lev!
Wit isn't your thing!
