WHY THE URANTIA BOOK?. EVERYONES CONTRIBUTION IS HIGHLY WELCOMED.
-Julius- I have to admit that I find this book absolutely beautiful. I know that this isn't the bible, but the story of Jesus' childhood was so beautiful and, for the first time it reveals what I've always know about the humanity of Jesus. I feel even more connected to him now. I feel like he really can relate to me and help me in all my good and bad times. Of co All the things pertaining to the cosmos and angels and planetary systems is a bit much.
-Julius-This book answers all my questions and more. There is no other like it. It has come to mankind at the most critical time. I encourage everyone to get a personal copy and begin to learn about our planet and universes in a way as never imagined. This book allows us to relate to our Creator and to our brothers in a loving brotherhood. It has completely changed my life and I will be forever grateful.
-Julius- There is no other book I know of that so comprehensively reveals our universe, and the fact that it is vastly inhabited by other mortals similar to our own planetary people. We are evolving over a very long stretch of time, and the spiritual life is just as important as our daily life in the world. We are revealed as children of universe creators who know our struggles and foster our growth into mature cosmic citizens. It must be read. You can decide for yourself. Choose to join the great universal adventure and discover the truth.
Brother, this is an awesome personal response! And for me, including all the parts you mention and their amazingly revealed concepts and details to us, when I started to read the Jesus Papers, I FELL IN LOVE with him! I thought I loved him before from my Bible days, but I could "only go so far" in loving him, giving the shortage of information about the child, the lad, the teen (his parenting responsibilities), the young adult and THE MAN...we knew he was God, but did not get the full picture of his humanness...which is who WE are!

Answer by ChatGPT and a certain member of The Planetary Reserve Corps of Destiny

1. Unique and Comprehensive Spiritual Content: The Urantia Book presents a complex and elaborate cosmology, philosophy, and spiritual teachings.

Its comprehensive nature appeals to those seeking a deep understanding of life's purpose and spiritual truths.
2. Mystique and Origin: In the early 20th century the origin of the Urantia Book remains somewhat mysterious, contributing to its allure. The book claims to have been authored by celestial beings and was allegedly received by the serial association of mortal man, secondary midwayer, primary midwayer, morontia cherubim, mid-phase cherubim, and seraphim. And claims in the personal experience of an individual mortal these diverse levels are undoubtedly more or less unified and made personally meaningful by the unobserved and mysterious operations of what the papers describe as the divine Thought Adjuster. This intriguing narrative adds to its appeal for individuals curious about spiritual or transcendent experiences.

People who resonate with its teachings often come together to discuss, study, and share their interpretations and experiences, fostering a sense of belonging and spiritual camaraderie.

4. Seekers of Alternative Spiritual Knowledge: The book offers an alternative spiritual perspective that can resonate with individuals seeking a departure from mainstream religious or philosophical beliefs. It attracts those who are open-minded and interested in exploring different spiritual paths. In paper 155:3.8 it proclaims Jesus whole earth life was consistently devoted to the mission of thawing out the frozen forms of religion into the liquid liberties of enlightened sonship.
5. Philosophical and Intellectual Appeal: The Urantia Book contains a substantial amount of philosophical content that appeals to those with an interest in religion, politics, economics, social life, metaphysics, ontology, and cosmology. Its elaborate narrative and intricate details can be intellectually stimulating for certain readers.
