Urantia Speaks~Ep 213: Last Paper 196/The Faith of Jesus
February 10, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 70.4 MB“Jesus enjoyed a sublime and wholehearted faith in God. He experienced the ordinary ups and downs of mortal existence, but he never religiously doubted the certainty of God’s watchcare and guidance.

His faith was neither traditional nor merely intellectual; it was wholly personal and purely spiritual.” (2087.1) [196:0.1] Urantia Speaks is a virtual assembly of Urantia Book partic...

February 03, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 60.1 MB“Paradise values of eternity and infinity, of truth, beauty, and goodness, are concealed within the facts of the phenomena of the universes of time and space. But it requires the eye of faith in a spirit-born mortal to detect and discern these spiritual values. The realities and values of spiritual progress are not a “psychologic projection”—a mere glorified daydream of the material mind. Such things are the spiritual forecasts of the indwelling Adjuster, the spirit of God living in the min...

December 30, 2018 06:00 - 1 hour - 51.8 MB“The Master put off the first morontia appearance to the apostles for a number of reasons.

December 23, 2018 06:00 - 1 hour - 52 MB“The resurrected Jesus now prepares to spend a short period on Urantia for the purpose of experiencing the ascending morontia career of a mortal of the realms.
