The RELIGION of Jesus is to be an INSPIRATION, not a “how to” list. So that would certainly be progress for these TUB forums, Mara, if anyone from a traditional religion other than “Christian” jump in to the conversation to contribute something other than to accuse a person that they are NOT doing what Jesus supposedly would do. As I noted before, no REAL and normal minded follower of even the glorified Christ (wrong headed Pauline church) would choke the media channels of communication with “what is torture when greed is good” as the drum beat to rationalize their greedy pre-emptive war strike in the Middle East. You do not know Jesus at all and never will if you do not know what Jesus would have to say about the shadow’s “leadership” in USA since JFK – the “catholic” president who left Urantia with a bullet in his head. No President since then has left in a “chariot of fire” because they did such a good job becoming one with their fragment of God like Jesus proved could be done…just sayin’….but, yeah, fun topic….
Word search for “inspiration” is fun:
141:7.9 (1594.3) He sought mildly to impart to these apostles the truth that he had come on this bestowal mission, not to set an example for a few earth creatures, but to establish and demonstrate a standard of human life for all peoples upon all worlds throughout his entire universe. And this standard approached the highest perfection, even the final goodness of the Universal Father. But the apostles could not grasp the meaning of his words
129:4.7 (1425.6) And this was his true and supreme purpose. He did not come down to live on Urantia as the perfect and detailed example for any child or adult, any man or woman, in that age or any other. True it is, indeed, that in his full, rich, beautiful, and noble life we may all find much that is exquisitely exemplary, divinely inspiring, but this is because he lived a true and genuinely human life. Jesus did not live his life on earth in order to set an example for all other human beings to copy. He lived this life in the flesh by the same mercy ministry that you all may live your lives on earth; and as he lived his mortal life in his day and as he was, so did he thereby set the example for all of us thus to live our lives in our day and as we are. You may not aspire to live his life, but you can resolve to live your lives even as, and by the same means that, he lived his. Jesus may not be the technical and detailed example for all the mortals of all ages on all the realms of this local universe, but he is everlastingly the inspiration and guide of all Paradise pilgrims from the worlds of initial ascension up through a universe of universes and on through Havona to Paradise. Jesus is the new and living way from man to God, from the partial to the perfect, from the earthly to the heavenly, from time to eternity.
