Worship, in Great Detail, Part 6 

47 minutes, 32 seconds long

Host Brother Dave, a Jesusonian

Technical notes: I had a sinus infection, somewhat hoarse; and also I had to clean up some noises with heavy equalization and band filters. But it is usable."The shows must go on." Next, I will soon do a 15 minute mini-podcast of a key spiritual truth, then Worship, Part 7.

PAPER 92. The Later Evolution of Religion.

5. The Great Religious Leaders

92:5.16 The future of Urantia [Earth] will doubtless be characterized by the appearance of teachers of religious truth — the Fatherhood of God and the fraternity of all creatures. But it is to be hoped that the ardent and sincere efforts of these future prophets will be directed less toward the strengthening of interreligious barriers and more toward the augmentation of the religious brotherhood of spiritual worship among the many followers of the differing intellectual theologies which so characterize Urantia ...

7. The Further Evolution of Religion

92:7.4 All these religions have arisen as a result of man’s variable intellectual response to his identical spiritual leading. They can never hope to attain a uniformity of creeds, dogmas, and rituals — these are intellectual; but they can, and some day will, realize a unity in true worship of the Father of all, for this is spiritual, and it is forever true, in the spirit all men are equal.

92:7.13 Modern man is adequately self-conscious of religion, but his worshipful customs are confused and discredited by his accelerated social metamorphosis and unprecedented scientific developments. Thinking men and women want religion redefined, and this demand will compel religion to re-evaluate itself [Thus, we have been given, circa A.D. 1935, this mighty Fifth Epochal Revelation -- the 196 Urantia Papers !] 

PAPER 93. Machiventa Melchizedek

4. The Salem Religion [Now Jerusalem]

93:4.5 And that was the whole of the creed of the Salem colony. But even such a short and simple declaration of faith was altogether too much and too advanced for the men of those days. They simply could not grasp the idea of getting divine favor for nothing — by faith. They were too deeply confirmed in the belief that man was born under forfeit to the gods. Too long and too earnestly had they sacrificed and made gifts to the priests to be able to comprehend the good news that salvation, divine favor, was a free gift to all who would believe in the Melchizedek covenant. But Abraham did believe halfheartedly, and even that was “counted for righteousness.”

PAPER 94. The Melchizedek Teachings in the Orient

4. The Hindu Religion

94:4.5 The worship of the second and third members, Siva and Vishnu, arose in the first millennium after Christ. Siva is lord of life and death, god of fertility, and master of destruction. Vishnu is extremely popular due to the belief that he periodically incarnates in human form. In this way, Vishnu becomes real and living in the imaginations of the Indians. Siva and Vishnu are each regarded by some as supreme over all. [God has never been revealed by name in the space-time universes, but by nature in Jesus Christ. He is omnipresent here as the Spirit of Truth upon all humans and within all truth-seekers and Living Truth-finders !]

PAPER 96. Yahweh—God of the Hebrews

4. The Proclamation of Yahweh

96:4.5 It does not appear that Moses would ever have succeeded in the establishment of his somewhat advanced ceremonial worship and in keeping his followers intact for a quarter of a century had it not been for the violent eruption of Horeb during the third week of their worshipful sojourn at its base. “The mountain of Yahweh was consumed in fire, and the smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.” In view of this cataclysm it is not surprising that Moses could impress upon his brethren the teaching that their God was “mighty, terrible, a devouring fire, fearful, and all-powerful.” [Why is that blasphemy allowed in the so-called "Christian Bible - the Word of God" ? God never changes; HE IS always just as all-loving and lavishly merciful and Fatherly Friendly as Our Savior Jesus Christ Michael IS !!! They are One in Spirit and Will Union !!!]
