In this episode, we discover the story of what happened with Jesus on Mt. Hermon prior to his baptism. There are lessons of fatherhood, mercy, the resolution of the Lucifer rebellion, and why this may be the most important passage you will find in the entire Urantia Book.
It appears everything we know and care about in the universe came down to this one moment in time. It's the story everyone needs to hear in order to understand the profound relationship God has with his children.
In this episode, we look at what life is like on our sister sphere, a world very similar to our own as described in full detail in Paper 72 from the Urantia Book.
The Urantia Book informs us special permission was required by the Melchizedek who sponsored Paper 72 depicting the living conditions and standards of a race of humans who constitute a continental nation comprised of 140 million inhabitants on a “near-distant” world.
If we were given this information to achieve societal advancement, to better our conditions and to improve our estate, then perhaps we should take a deeper look at how our sister sphere is coming along, since it appears we are not so different, even from our galactic cousins who also inhabit God’s wonderful creation.
We were recently joined by Center for Unity co-founder Gabriel Rymberg. Among many interesting topics we discussed, including the moral and ethical need for the Urantia Book teachings, we also look one-hundred years after the Celestials delivered the revelations, and what might be healthy next steps to spreading the good news of the Urantia Book. Is it AI, is it more social networking -- or something else entirely?
Gabriel also shares news about exciting new projects coming from Center for Unity.
Gabriel was contracted to translate the Urantia Book into Hebrew, and it was through this project he came to develop a relationship with Jesus (from the Life and Teachings) during the fiver years he worked on the translation.
The world seems full of tragedy of late, how do we make sense of it?
One place to gain insight (and perhaps even some comfort), is from Paper 3 in the Urantia on the Attributes of God, is a paper dealing with the viscitiudes of living, and why there is pain and suffering in our world.Is courage important, is love desirable, are valor and altruism worthy pursuits?
Let's explore these question together n this latest episode of the Urantia Radio podcast..
Author and Urantia Book student Ryan McGuire joins us to discuss his book The Case For The Urantia Book.
McGuire lays out numerous cases for validating the Urantia Book's claim it is a divine revelation from non-human sources.
A candid conversation with long-time Urantia Book reader Joseph Morgan, who, among other things, single-handidly changed the lives of the entire State of Louisiana, and is probably the only person to ever have the opportunity to share the Urantia Book on national TV. Not to mention Joseph found the time to construct the only known Father's Temple to exist on the planet.
This is an essay that will change your life. It will really underscore the importance of revelation. It also potrays Jesus’ faith in us to recieve the whole story of God.
This episode covers two very important topics. First, the ten most important Ueantia Book teachings that could change the world.
Plus, examining how the teachings of Christianity and the Jewish faith have made the world a better place, and how the Urantia Book continues the thread of religious revelation into the future.
How does the Trinity concept help harmonize faith with science?
In Paper 104 from the Urantia Book, we learn about the Trinity Concept, and how the functionality of Trinity aids us in comprehending both a personal loving spiritual father, who, at the same time, can also be the primal energy source of an entire expanding universe.
The Urantia Book represents the fifth, and latest attempt to teach mankind the trinity concept intended to unify mind, matter and spirit as one cohesive force whose derivation is the I AM of God, the Father of creation.
In this episode we explore Paper 112:3 and the three kinds of death.
The subject of human personality is also clarified, and we learn what happens to our spirit when we pass from the human life to the next stage of existence on the Mansion worlds. The revelators offer a comprehensive explanation of the phenomena of death - but also the more important concept of survival of the human personality beyond the limitations of material life.
The Urantia Book tells us much the genesis of war and why it persists. It is also thoroighly explains why it must be abandon. It's wirht a good rview of Paper 70 and its first two sections on War.
Father's Day is an excellent opportunity to look at the spiritual value of fathers in mortal life, and how human fathers shape our view of the greatest father of all, the Creator Father.
Prayer is the method through which we can attain a connection with our father in Paradise because he has sealed within each of us a fragment of his spirit, which provides a living personal connection to and with Him during our mortal lives.
Happy Fathers Day to all of those dads who make such a profound difference to our children, in service to the Father who has made life possible.
UBtheNews founder and longtime Urantia Book reader Halbert Katzen shares important insights as to the next vital step for wider acceptance of the Urantia Book. We discuss mysticism, channeling, repudiation and other distractions that undermine Urantia credibility.
To Halbert's credit, his UBAnnotated project (and UBtheNews) continues to challenge UB skeptics by providing evidentiary information that validates the Urantia Book assertions on anthrooplogy, geology, early human history, race, Adam and Eve's legacy and other fascinating subjects.
During these times it is good to reflect back at the early beginnings of man and and the first revelation gifted to us by the Sons of the Most High, and also to spend a few minutes to consider the power of prayer and worship as spiritual aids, and how connection to God is vital to our spiritual growth.
Topic of this episode is Echoes of Divine Hierarchy: A Comparative Analysis of the Sons of God in the Urantia Book and the Catholic Church Structure and The Providential Hand In Catholicism.
Perhaps at some future point the Catholic Church may welcome the Temple of the Father at St. Peter's Basilica, as described in Revelations and The Urantia Book.
We continue with our series on several of the more notable Apostles, as described in paper 139 of the Urantia Book.
We learn about the diverse backgrounda and personality of Matthew Levi, and his fellow Apostle Thomas Dydimus; what made these men tick, what was their family life like, and how did Jesus appeal to them?
Many readers relate to one or more of the Apostles, perhaps there are qualities in these two men that will touch your heart.
What About the Science in the Urantia Book? Let's ask one.
Scientist Marjorie Ray joins us to discuss the upcoming Urantia Foundation Scientific Symposium (November 6th, 2025) in Chicago. As a scietist and experience Urantia Book raeder, Ray discusses contemporary science and the Science of the Urantia Book. We discuss genetics, (Ray is a trained bio-chemical engineer who, amongh other accomplishments was involved in the NASA space program), astronomy, paleontology and other UB-related science.
About the Guest:
Marjorie Ray's area of science was biochemistry: protein/lipid interactions and protein crystallography. I worked at the University of Alabama at Birmingham for my entire scientific career. Officially Nov. 2013 but came back as a short term consultant to finish a project we had been working on for NASA. NASA got us space of Elon Musk’s first rocket that made it up to the station. Marjorie says she had been doing missions to the Space Station for a number of years before the shuttle program shut down. During that time she decided to apply to Oxford to study philosophy and started in a program there in 2017 (part-time), and now lives in the Pacific Northwest.
Continuing our series on the Apostle from paper 139, we now learn about Andrew and Simon Peter, brothers and friends of John and James Zebedee, whom introduced them to Jesus as candidates for Apostolic consideration.
We learn about the characters of these two young men, how they complimented each other in life, Peter's penchant for getting in trouble, and how Andrew, or " Chief" as the twelve referred to him, became the administrative head of this unique group of men who would go on to become Ambassadors of the Kingdom.
From paper 139 we explore the personalities as they are described n the Urantia Book regarding John Zebedee and Judas Iscariot, two apostles who could not be farther apart in personality, character and faith in the their Master Jesus.
It is said these papers have been instrumental in convincing many readers of the Urantia Book of its authenticity as a divine revelation, including Dr. William S. Sadler, and the reverend and Dr. Meredith J. Sprunger.
You will be more than captivated learning about these two men who were part of the most important spiritual event in the history of mankind, being ambassadors of the Son of Man and Son of God.
Paper 72, section 11 teaches about life on a planet and no country not unlike our own, with a similarly checkered past, and a time line commensurate with our own present advancement.
We are also informed this other off-world nation is a constitutional Republic like the United States, coexisting alongside more hostile neighboring countrries with corrollating geo-political threats similar to our own.
Why would the Revelators share this story ?
Could the revelators foresee a dangerous trajectory for our world and thought it wise to offer solutions gleaned from another sister sphere located somehwere in our galactic neighborhood?
Nowhere else in the Urantia Book are we given such a detailed description of life of other humans beings. This should stir anyone’s imagination.
It is also self-evident that our world faces grave challenges between preserving the peace, or continue suffering from more genocidal conflict. In this context, it behooves us to consider what our unseen celestial friends have to share.
