What Do Urantia Book Readers Believe? What Are The Tenets of The Urantia Book?

In summing up our series on a Urantia based religion, we thought it would be great to actually talk about what readers and believers in the teachings of The Urantia revelation believe. The Urantia Book definitely calls those who read it to believe certain things and this week we want to explore what those tenets are. A tenet is defined as a principle or belief, especially one of the main principles of a religion or philosophy. We know that The Urantia Book provides abundant teachings for both religion and philosophy. Consider these words of Jesus, "But you who have been called out of darkness into the light are expected to believe with a whole heart; your faith shall dominate the combined attitudes of body, mind, and spirit." The Urantia Book has a lot to say about belief. After all, just reading the book is a faith adventure. It asks us to believe that there are angels and other high spiritual beings. Beings from other parts of the Universe of Universes, that could present us with a book containing amazing spiritual truths and teachings. It asks us to believe in a friendly and well-ordered universe and a benevolent and loving Father God. Some of the things it teaches us to believe are completely unique, like the fact that Adam and Eve were imported here from another world. Some of them are fairly common, like the fact that Jesus resurrected from the dead. Urantia Book students often characterize ourselves as "believers" and the book often characterizes us that way as well. So what do Urantia Book readers commonly believe? Give us a call and let's talk about it. Are there some things that the book teaches that you don't believe?  We can talk about that too. It should be a lively and interesting conversation and we hope you'll join us. "Fear not; only believe."
