This week, we think, Paula, Chuck, Marvin, and Pam continue to discuss Urantia Paper 5, God’s Relation to the Individual, §4 God in Religion, and if time allows, perhaps §5 The Consciousness of God. The morality of the religions of evolution drives men forward in the God quest by the motive power of fear. The religions of revelation allure men to seek for a God of love because they crave to become like him. But religion is not merely a passive feeling of “absolute dependence” and “surety of survival”; it is a living and dynamic experience of divinity attainment predicated on humanity service. The great and immediate service of true religion is the establishment of an enduring unity in human experience, a lasting peace and a profound assurance. 5:4.1–2 (66.5–6) Christianity has elevated the concept of anthropomorphism from the ideal of the human to the transcendent and divine concept of the person of the glorified Christ. And this is the highest anthropomorphism that man can ever conceive. The Christian concept of God is an attempt to combine three separate teachings: 1. The Hebrew concept — God as a vindicator of moral values, a righteous God. 2. The Greek concept — God as a unifier, a God of wisdom. 3. Jesus’ concept — God as a living friend, a loving Father, the divine presence. It must therefore be evident that composite Christian theology encounters great difficulty in attaining consistency. 5:4.9–14 (67.7–68.2) Please join us in discovery of our Father! http://tobtr.com/12258109
