"I think that it is wholly senseless. Is he/she suggesting that they gave us the Revelation to secretly keep it in a drawer?"
With permission I publish this reply from Carlos:
"Dear Soren,
Such a claim makes no sense to me. If people would do that, then Revelation would swiftly whither and be forgotten, and the next generations would rarely be in touch with it.
I chose this excerpt from The Urantia Book to close my book "Apocalypse - Your Faith Will Save You":
"What a sorry sight for successive generations of the professed followers of Jesus to say, regarding their stewardship of divine truth: “Here, Master, is the truth you committed to us a hundred or a thousand years ago. We have lost nothing; we have faithfully preserved all you gave us; we have allowed no changes to be made in that which you taught us; here is the truth you gave us.” But such a plea concerning spiritual indolence will not justify the barren steward of truth in the presence of the Master. In accordance with the truth committed to your hands will the Master of truth require a reckoning.
In the next world you will be asked to give an account of the endowments and stewardships of this world. Whether inherent talents are few or many, a just and merciful reckoning must be faced. If endowments are used only in selfish pursuits and no thought is bestowed upon the higher duty of obtaining increased yield of the fruits of the spirit, as they are manifested in the ever-expanding service of men and the worship of God, such selfish stewards must accept the consequences of their deliberate choosing."
This way we see how we must do much more than only feed our own hearts with the Revelation. If we do that we are not serving our fellow-humans to the utmost of our abilities, and surely we are not trusting their own abilities to absorb the very Truth that has set us free. The Revelation has come to all of us, and it depends on each of us deciding to send it forth for every human creature. That is the Great Commission given by Jesus to us, all of his followers and believers."
Today I received this message:
"I don’t believe it’s our assignments to spread the Urantia teachings anywhere aside from in our own hearts. "
What do you think about this opinion?
Love, Soren

The evil one, brpther...you know full well what the Revelation did for you...you wanted to share it! No one wants to become like the servant of the wealthy man who only kept his one "talent" safe...what happened to him?!
Remember:
In accordance with the truth(the UB!) committed to your hands will the Master of truth require a reckoning. (BELIEVE IT!)
176:3.8 (1918.1)In the next world you will be asked to give an account of the endowments and stewardships of this world. Whether inherent talents are few or many, a just and merciful reckoning must be faced. If endowments are used only in selfish pursuits and no thought is bestowed upon the higher duty of obtaining increased yield of the fruits of the spirit, as they are manifested in the ever-expanding service of men and the worship of God, such selfish stewards must accept the consequences of their deliberate choosing.
The evil one trying to sow seeds of doubt to the half-hearted...
We know it's hard to share Urantia Book teachings in Africa, but we trust the Spirit of Truth helps people understand spiritual values and universe meanings, leading to a personal connection with God.
Brilliant. One of our brothers just sent us this picture as we was with friends in their community trying to learn about the revelation. He was holding the book which we delivered to him a few months ago. Great works ongoing
Dear friends,
We got this picture coming on our email today, showing then truth even as Jesus said that the poor would embrace the gospel. We should recall that this gospel is for everyone, even the poor!
141:7.8 To insure the recognition of his Father in the unfolding of the plan of the kingdom, Jesus explained that he had purposely ignored the "great men of earth." He began his work with the poor, the very class which had been so neglected by most of the evolutionary religions of preceding times. He despised no man; his plan was world-wide, even universal. He was so bold and emphatic in these announcements that even Peter, James, and John were tempted to think he might possibly be beside himself.
143:1.5 "But who told you that my gospel was intended only for slaves and weaklings? Do you, my chosen apostles, resemble weaklings? Did John look like a weakling? Do you observe that I am enslaved by fear? True, the poor and oppressed of this generation have the gospel preached to them. The religions of this world have neglected the poor, but my Father is no respecter of persons. Besides, the poor of this day are the first to heed the call to repentance and acceptance of sonship. The gospel of the kingdom is to be preached to all men -- Jew and gentile, Greek and Roman, rich and poor, free and bond -- and equally to young and old, male and female.
It was the poor who came first in large numbers providing the fruit bearing religionists who brought Christianity to the world.
We are fully cognizant of the difficulties of our assignment in spreading the teachings of the Urantia Book in Africa; we recognize the impossibility of fully translating the language of the concepts of divinity and eternity into the symbols of the diverse languages and cultural frameworks present across the continent. But we know that there dwells within the human mind a fragment of God, and that there sojourns with the human soul the Spirit of Truth; and we further know that these spirit forces conspire to enable material man to grasp the reality of spiritual values and to comprehend the philosophy of universe meanings. But even more certainly we know that these spirits of the Divine Presence are able to assist man in the spiritual appropriation of all truth contributory to the enhancement of the ever-progressing reality of personal religious experience—God-consciousness.
Dear Ambassadors,
I am excited to share some exciting news with you all! We will be receiving an additional 50 URANTIA books in Kampala. The shipment order will be placed on July 31, 2024, and we expect the books to arrive between August 15 and September 1.
This is a wonderful chance for us to learn more about the URANTIA teachings. Whether you are new to the book or have been reading it for years, these new copies will allow more people to start their spiritual journey and discover the important truths within its pages. This also means we can finally meet the growing requests from many who are eager to explore the URANTIA revelations.
Thanks to the team of ambassadors in Denmark for the love they show for the revelation, for they have made this happen again.
Let's celebrate this great news together and keep searching for knowledge, truth, and spiritual growth.
Regards,
Niwamanya Benjamin Magara
CMC Kampala Coordinator
