Clarification: temporal and eternal

I posted recently on the caution in part four of the Urantia revelation that in these days the greatest threat to believers will be holding to their faith, and reminded people that in the end all that really matters in this brief life is dying with our belief in the fatherhood of God and knowing that we have progressively grown in our ability to show others the fruits of the spirit and in turn draw them to God the father.

I should have said “all that really matters in an eternal sense,” so it did not appear that temporal matters were unimportant, which was pointed out in one of my posts.

To be clear, and more than I care to share, tattooed on my back in Latin is “Defend liberty, Protect the innocents, and Serve man for God.” I live this, and if I ever have a chance to serve again in the effort to end the harm now being done to children, I will and God have mercy on the bad guys because I will be stretched to offer it.

Our duty on Earth is to become the best we can be so we can in turn better serve humanity for the sake of God. That said, at the point of death—no matter what did or did not happen in your brief life—ALL that matters is your faith in God and knowing you showed some level, no matter how small, of progress in your life. If not, it ends. Your choice.

Please, everyone, time is short. Put parts 1-3 of the revelation aside for a time and study as best you can the life and teachings of Jesus. Anyone can memorize static information and pet their ego and run around feeling like they know something “special.” But few people can engage material that puts them immediately in front of the mirror and challenges them to become better people for the sake of God. Part 4 of the revelation has the information needed to transform ourselves and hence the world, but it cannot be told to people it has to be shown. The more we can speak less and instead draw people to us through our conduct the better we serve the kingdom of heaven.

Nicodemus' Moment of Faith
Excerpt: Chap. 21, The Passover in Jerusalem
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.

Eventually, Nicodemus did manage enough faith to enter the kingdom. When his colleagues in the Sanhedrin wanted to condemn Jesus without a hearing, he only gave a half-hearted protest. But later, with Joseph of Arimathea, he boldly stated his faith when they claimed Jesus' body, even though most of the disciples had run away in fear from their master's final suffering.

Call for Spiritual Maturity
Excerpt: Chap. 21, The Passover in Jerusalem
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.

These are the concerns of the people in the world. You have been called as spiritual ambassadors of a spiritual kingdom to represent me in the world, even as I am here to represent our Father. Do I have to speak to you like children forever? By this time, I should be able to teach you like adults of the spirit kingdom. When are you going to grow up and be able to see the spirit? Regardless, I love you and I will bear with you for long, for as long as we are together on earth. And after I have left my spirit, will go before you into all the world.

Excerpt: Ch. 2, Jesus’ Early Childhood 3/7
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.

Michael incarnated as the mortal Jesus on Earth for several reasons. His purpose was to clarify that God is an actual spiritual presence in our minds, and that when possible God guides us toward perfection—toward oneness with him, the First Source and Center. After Adam and Eve failed in their mission to uplift humanity and the Earth became one of planets quarantined from the rest of the universe, our world fell into spiritual confusion; we lost the knowledge that the spirit of God is inside every person’s mind: the saving grace that there is no separation between us and God and that the brotherhood of humanity is united through that presence became hidden.

Excerpt: Ch. 2, Jesus’ Early Childhood 2/7
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.

Early the morning of April 2nd, 3 B.C. Mary had her second child, James. This was the first of Jesus’ siblings and he was excited to be an older brother. A couple of months later Joseph built a small carpenter shop in town so he could take work from the caravans that stopped at Nazareth for repairs after crisscrossing the desert. His brothers were his partners, and while Joseph would work in the shop making yokes and plows his brothers took their tools and worked around town. Watching his father and then later working with him was how Jesus learned his trade working with wood.

Excerpt: Chapter 2, Jesus’ Early Childhood 1/7
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.

After the family arrived in Alexandria they stayed with Joseph’s relatives. Mary was a diligent mother, and Jesus was healthy and had large group of friends. Because of all that had occurred Mary was at first over protective, but with some urging from Joseph she finally relaxed. For the most part everyone kept quiet about Jesus being a special child, but eventually the word leaked out. Before the family left to return to Palestine a group of people tried to convince Mary and Joseph that if Jesus really was special they should raise him right there in Alexandria. They argued that he would have more influence as a spiritual leader in that grand city than in some small town in Palestine. Mary and Joseph were not convinced, and after the group finally gave up trying to change their minds they instead gifted Jesus with a complete copy of the Jewish scriptures that had been translated into Greek. Mary, Joseph, and Jesus left Alexandria for Palestine in August, 4 B.C. By the beginning of October they were back in Nazareth: they arrived with a new donkey and five relatives who had insisted on walking along with them for their safety.

The Significance of Spiritual Unity
Excerpt: Chapter 20, Beginning the Public Work
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.

Everyone who sees this spiritual unity among you will know that you have been with me and have learned how to do the will of the Father in Heaven. Each of you can and will use your own original endowments of mind, body, and soul when joining in service of God. Spiritual unity in a group harmonizes to imply two things between the people involved. One, that all of the people have a common motive in doing the will of the Father over all other things. And two, each person in the group has the same reason for existence, finding the Father in heaven and proving to the universe that we have become like Him.
