How many here have read this book?

I know theres at least a few
Lets try to keep this thread alive for general information and spreading awareness about the book

"the Bible on steroids"
"most powerful book on the planet"
"supernatural authorship"
"advanced writing style"

It's drier than sand, it keeps alive the horrendous notion that heaven is a bloated bureaucracy, and most of its physics has been disproved by subsequent science. I find it interesting only for its automatic writing authorship.

>It's drier than sand
For example? I guess its a matter of opinion and some papers and sections are as it were, pleb filters; but a lot of it is very juicy stuff.

I've seen several of these threads and no one has even attempted to explain what it is.

It purports to be a revelation written by supernatural or celestial beings/angels.
No one knows who wrote it.

It deals with the nature of God and religion,
the history of Earth (Urantia)
the life and teachings of Jesus (1/3 of this 2000 page book)

>Successive planetary revelations of divine truth invariably embrace the highest existing concepts of spiritual values as a part of the new and enhanced co-ordination of planetary knowledge. Accordingly, in making these presentations about God and his universe associates, we have selected as the basis of these papers more than one thousand human concepts representing the highest and most advanced planetary knowledge of spiritual values and universe meanings. Wherein these human concepts, assembled from the God-knowing mortals of the past and the present, are inadequate to portray the truth as we are directed to reveal it, we will unhesitatingly supplement them, for this purpose drawing upon our own superior knowledge of the reality and divinity of the Paradise Deities and their transcendent residential universe.

ok but like, what does it say

[Anonymous No.13737824]

>>13737321
Regarding what? Anything specific?
It says God exists, spiritual realities are real, there is an afterlife..

99:5.2.Always keep in mind: True religion is to know God as your Father and man as your brother. Religion is not a slavish belief in threats of punishment or magical promises of future mystical rewards.

99:5.3.The religion of Jesus is the most dynamic influence ever to activate the human race. Jesus shattered tradition, destroyed dogma, and called mankind to the achievement of its highest ideals in time and eternity—to be perfect, even as the Father in heaven is perfect.

101:4.2.Mankind should understand that we who participate in the revelation of truth are very rigorously limited by the instructions of our superiors. We are not at liberty to anticipate the scientific discoveries of a thousand years. Revelators must act in accordance with the instructions which form a part of the revelation mandate. We see no way of overcoming this difficulty, either now or at any future time. We full well know that, while the historic facts and religious truths of this series of revelatory presentations will stand on the records of the ages to come, within a few short years many of our statements regarding the physical sciences will stand in need of revision in consequence of additional scientific developments and new discoveries. These new developments we even now foresee, but we are forbidden to include such humanly undiscovered facts in the revelatory records. Let it be made clear that revelations are not necessarily inspired. The cosmology of these revelations is not inspired. It is limited by our permission for the co-ordination and sorting of present-day knowledge. While divine or spiritual insight is a gift, human wisdom must evolve.
