The Atonement Doctrine and Hell - What to Believe?

This week on the Cosmic Citizen we will be discussing the ever pervasive belief in the doctrine of Blood Atonement, that Jesus had to shed his blood and die on the cross to atone for the sins of humankind. We will also discuss the currently controversial and very hot topic (no pun intended) of HELL. Are these teachings real or just the vestiges of the primitive religions of bygone eras?  The Urantia Book says they are... "wholly puerile and primitive, a philosophy unworthy of an enlightened age of science and truth." What do you think?  We invite you to call in and tell us your thoughts as we explore the meaning of these common religious beliefs and whether or not they have any real meaning or purpose for 21st Century humanity. Please join us for a new and thought provoking take on an ancient belief.
