The Cosmic Citizen

How can they find the spiritual food that will inspire and transform them? With an increasingly diverse and challenging world, how can we unify humankind for a safe and flourishing future? Many Urantia Book readers believe that the book is the answer for most sp...

This week we are back with our 7th installment of this great study. So far we have discussed the outbreak of rebellion, the Lucifer Manifesto, the theft of liberty, the mercy, justice and wisdom in the delay of adjudication, and now we will discuss "The Triumph of Love" 54:6.2 In all their dealings with intelligent beings, both the Creator Son and his Paradise Father are love dominated. It is impo...

This Planet, Urantia has endured much confusion since the ourbreak of the rebellion over 200,000 years ago. Many mortals are left asking questions as to why such evil and sin can persist for so long on our planet?

Many things on t...
