ty for your opinion, what you stated is the very reason why i have not cracked the Urantia book. A few major points stick out in my mind tho, 1) i know the bible is a corrupted work. fact 2) the world isnt what its made out to be. fact. What that real world perspective is ??? 3) a passage from ? The book of Thomas ? where Christ pulls Thomas aside for blind radical faith. 4) if there is abundant life in the universe , then by reason there would be organizational structure to existence outside of this world. 5) humanity is a babe in the eyes of the rest of life out there and it would stand to reason that we would be given a primitive "mother goose" kindergarten understanding of spirituality to start us out on our individual spiritual journeys. as for the other publications, id assume that the consensus is that they are like any other biblical reference materials, let your spirit guide you to truth.
