The evolutionary soil in the mind of man in which the seed of revealed religion germinates is the moral nature that so early gives origin to a social consciousness. The first promptings of a child's moral nature have not to do with sex, guilt, or personal pride, but rather with impulses of justice, fairness, and urges to kindness —helpful ministry to one's fellows. And when such early moral awakenings are nurtured, there occurs a gradual development of the religious life which is comparatively free from conflicts, upheavals, and crises.
The first act of Jesus on arising from the tomb was to greet Gabriel and instruct him to continue in executive charge of universe affairs under Immanuel, and then he directed the chief of the Melchizedeks to convey his brotherly greetings to Immanuel. He thereupon asked the Most High of Edentia for the certification of the Ancients of Days as to his mortal transit; and turning to the assembled morontia groups of the seven mansion worlds, here gathered together to greet and welcome their Creator as a creature of their order, Jesus spoke the first words of the postmortal career. Said the morontia Jesus: “Having finished my life in the flesh, I would tarry here for a short time in transition form that I may more fully know the life of my ascendant creatures and further reveal the will of my Father in Paradise.”
189:1.11 (2022.2) After Jesus had spoken, he signaled to the Personalized Adjuster, and all universe intelligences who had been assembled on Urantia to witness the resurrection were immediately dispatched to their respective universe assignments.
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ
have you ever asked yourself how paradise look like?
Human beings are the lowest level of freewill creatures in the universe.
We are all born as children of the Paradise Father. Yet, to be resurrected, we must exercise faith and trust in our Heavenly Father.
After resurrection, we start our new life where we left off on earth.
When we awaken from the sleep of survival, we will recognize our family, friends, and acquaintances, and they will recognize us.
After checking in on the mansion worlds, our first ten days are spent on vacation. During this time, we can visit family and friends who have gone before us, explore our new home, and look over plans for the immediate future.
After we die, we are not permitted to communicate with anyone still living on earth. The spirits of the dead don't come back. There are no ghosts.
Men and women always retain their gender characteristics. Even after we have journeyed to Paradise and are full spirit beings, opposite genders will continue to fascinate and comfort one another.
On most of the heavenly worlds there are enormous circular crystal receiving stations. One of these stations was described by John in the Bible as "the sea of glass." Some measure nearly one hundred miles in circumference and thirty miles in depth. These crystals function as receiving and broadcasting stations and as landing fields. We will spend many hours around these seas of glass, listening to news, attending cultural perfomances, and worshiping the Paradise Father.
The experience of loving and serving others increases as we progress toward Paradise. The universe is dominated by love. "The more one loves, the nearer he approaches God, for God is the spirit of infinite love." ~ R. W. Trive
On the heavenly worlds we interact with resurrected mortals from many different planets. Even though all of us had different intellectual, spiritual, physical, and racial backgrounds, as former humans we shared these common features: we all stood erect, we were either male or female, we had two arms and two legs, we possessed the freewill to either accept or reject God, and we all had the opportunity for resurrection after death.
On older, more evolved worlds, the departure of a loved one is not generally met with great sorrow or grief. Death is seen as a passage or a graduation, anticipated with happy expectations of the worlds ahead.
A child who dies before having the opportunity to make a freewill faith decision to accept God will be resurrected when either parent is resurrected.
Days are much longer as we get closer to Paradise. One day of mansion world time is equal to about three earth days. One day of local universe time is equal to about eighteen earth days. One day of superuniverse time is equal to thirty earth days. One day on Paradise is equal to almost one thousand earth years.
The universe is a big school. We spend a great amount of time in education programs. When we are not working in service missions or playing, we are in training. As we progress from earth to Paradise, specialized techniques are used to communicate knowledge. One hour of training on Paradise equals ten thousand years of memory methods on earth.
Our earthly material bodies have five physical senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. Our morontia bodies have the potential of seventy senses.
If they had faith in God to do the things that He required of them, Jesus promised them that nothing will be impossible to you. God does not desire that we prove anything to Him. God desires that we trust Him. He is interested in our relationship with Him that is based on love and trust.
BE A PEACEMAKER.
It is so easy to get worked up about things; people who wrong us, family drama, church drama, etc. But resolve to be the one who brings peace. Don’t spread the rumors, don’t listen to the stories, don’t join the clique. Be the one who initiates peace and unity.
Thank you SO much for this! And the only way to do this is to TAKE THE TIME to go to our Indwelling Father Fragment to at least give pause to those mind toxins which take us away from peace and love...ih that moment of hesitation, can our Beloved Father do something with us!
Yes!, our Heavenly Father can.
As we pray with faith to feel the love we will be able to make peace even in the midst of troubles
Jesus Christ said I give you my
If anyone slaps you on your right cheek turn also the left
Stopping revenge is one way to initiate peace
Urantia Book describes an endless destiny for humankind, teaching that living faith is the key to personal spiritual progress and eternal survival.
Don’t stop reading urantia book
The more you read the more you keep on understanding
But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
So then, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm and steady. Keep busy always in your work for the Lord, since you know that nothing you do in the Lord's service is ever useless.1 Corinthians 15:57-58
For the poor in spirit, “theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Those who mourn “shall be comforted.” The gentle “shall inherit the earth.” Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness “shall be satisfied.” The merciful “shall receive mercy.” The pure in heart “shall see God.” The peacemakers “shall be called sons of God.” ...
