And let's include the very last sentence of Paper 56:10.21 - Love is the desire to do good to others. Amen!!

HOW TO JUDGE SPIRITUALITY ?

The Urantia Book provides guidance on judging spirituality in Paper 100:6.1-8, which states:

1. Fruits of the Spirit: Judge a person's spirituality by the fruits of their spirit, such as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and self-control. (100:6.1)

2. Inner Life: Evaluate a person's inner life, their thoughts, feelings, and motivations, rather than just their outward actions. (100:6.2)

3. Growth and Progress: Assess a person's spiritual growth and progress over time, rather than judging them based on a single moment or action. (100:6.3)

4. Intention and Motive: Consider a person's intentions and motives, rather than just their actions. Are they motivated by love, or self-interest? (100:6.4)

5. Spiritual Experience: Recognize that spiritual experience is highly personal and subjective. Avoid judging others' experiences or comparing them to your own. (100:6.5)

6. Love and Compassion: Apply the test of love and compassion. Is the person's spirituality characterized by love, empathy, and kindness towards others? (100:6.6)

7. Wisdom and Insight: Evaluate a person's wisdom and insight, their ability to discern spiritual truth and apply it in their life. (100:6.7)

8. Consistency and Sincerity: Assess a person's consistency and sincerity in their spiritual life. Do they practice what they preach? (100:6.8)

By the above, we can gain a more comprehensive understanding of a person's spirituality and avoid superficial judgments.
Thanks

Thank you brother Paul for such an inspiration!
Also;
Paper 195:10.5:
"The kingdom of heaven is not a matter of intellectual assent or theological comprehension; it is a matter of personal experience in spirit attainment."

195:10.6:
"Jesus laid great emphasis on the rebirth of the human spirit, teaching that men must be born again, born of the spirit, to enter the kingdom of heaven."

Below is a much more understanding:

- True understanding of the kingdom of heaven comes from personal spiritual experience, not just intellectual knowledge or theological understanding.
- Spiritual rebirth is essential to enter the kingdom, indicating a profound transformation of the human spirit.
- This transformation involves being "born of the spirit," renewing one's nature and purpose.
- Jesus' teachings emphasize the need for individual spiritual growth, inner transformation, and personal experience of the spirit.
- The kingdom of heaven is about spiritual attainment, requiring a deep, personal connection with the divine.
- Intellectual understanding alone is insufficient; spiritual rebirth and personal experience are necessary to truly comprehend and enter the kingdom.

In essence, these passages highlight the importance of personal spiritual experience, transformation, and growth in understanding and entering the kingdom of heaven.
