Welcome back everyone! This is Daniel Kenan and this is; what, when, where why and how
The Urantia Book came to be.
This is the Urantia Book
and it is what I call a Big Blue Book.
It has about 2100 pages but I assure you that is content is worth the read.
Look up to the night-sky
and presence those millions of stars, systems,
galaxies
.. and that is exactly what the word Urantia mean
our place in heaven..
Our place in this huge vast space
that forms the Universe that we know of
..and what we call Earth.
The book teaches that every Religion is important
and that it is a great addition to our Human Experience.
And this this because all Religions accomplish a huge and very important concept
which is bringing man
closer to God.
Wether your God is one or another
The Urantia Book doesn't discriminate because there is no real penalty for calling
any of these gods by a specific name or by giving them a different story.
The Urantia Book names and details many of these concepts and always with
an accepting approach.
and this is because that when we die
we will be given this information and knowledge either ways. So really there is not
an immediate need for you to know this content unless like me
you are very curious and you want to expand
your knowledge and your mind.
One thing is faith and another is a feeling of void and emptiness that is telling you that
what you believe or some of the things that you believe
don't really talk to you
The Urantia Book has four parts. It starts by talking about the major outlook of our Grand Universe
coming down to our place in that Universe. Then moving on to the history of
our planet, Earth.
And finally, it talks about the life..
..Full life and Teachings of Jesus.
The Urantia Book was written in the 1930's
and its author decided to remain anonymous
so that nobody will idolize him or her
The book was also left on the public domain so that no one would profit from it.
You can read the book for free at urantia.org
This facts give The Urantia Book
a great level of credibility
and instills a great base and motivation to read the book.
I mean, who writes 2100 pages for nothing!?
Where was The Urantia Book written?
right here in the United States and it was written in English..
probably not with my accent
but it was written in English.
Even though this isn't very important, many people ask me on how the book
was written and well in a nutshell
this person
who decided to remain anonymous, as I said before..
went to sleep
and got up on its sleep
and wrote the contents of the book over a period of time
at the following morning, he had no recollection of what had happened.
Later on the content was published
..and thats pretty much it.
Now, contrary to popular belief
I will tell you that the best way to read the book
is to go from front to back
many people will tell you to begin on the Jesus papers, but I don't think
that is a good
way at all.
my recommendation for you is read
page one
and two of the Foreword
that's that and move on the part one
read part one
part two
then, once you are done with part two
feel free to go back to the Foreword and I assure you that it will make so much more sense.
This is because the Foreword is a very complex summary of
what all of this book is about.
so of course is you start right here you will be completely lost.
So, I really recommend to read the book part one , part two, and then
I guess right about half through the book go back and start reading and I assure you the Foreword definitively will make more sense.
so why was The Urantia Book written?
The first two or three sentences of the Foreword covers it pretty well.
even though those talk about the Foreword itself.
It says: in the minds of all mortals
exists great confusion
about the meanings of such terms as God, divinity,
and even more confused about why are we here
and the relationship between divine personalities
that we hear and talking about.
I sometimes go around asking my Christian friends and colleagues about what
the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost really is
what does it do and why
and to my surprise, most of them
don't really know
and that's exactly why this book was written
To give us a guide and understanding to many of these things that we've been learning for years
but we don't really grasp
an understanding towards it.
so that's why The Urantia Book serves as a guide
to expand your knowledge
about what you think you know.
It is a challenging and fascinating journey. And I hope you accompany me in many
future videos
where we will go over many other concepts and lessons of The Urantia Book.
And remember; It is not about changing your personal concept of God
it's about expanding it and understanding it.
peace and love
Was the Holy Spirit a Man? -Exactly that's my point right there!
