Martin Gardener's book about the URANTIA Revelation is typical of what has kept mankind from reaching his full spirital potential for its entire history. FEAR! Using LIES and Half Truths, and twisted conclusions he's doing what the "Church" has always done keep in CONTROLL and YOU from understanding TRUE spirituality and KNOWING for themselves what it means to follow Christ's teachings.
We are in the Apocalypse people! Thats why these TRUTHs are coming out now! And what is REALLY meant by 'The Truth Shall Set You Free!' I finally can see why, when it comes to TRUTH and INDIVIDUAL SPIRITUALITY - all the nasty, negative, hateful, closed minded, judgmental and ANTI-Christ like noise, comes from so called "Christians" whenever they have anything to say about.... well ANYTHING!!
You WONT find anything Nasty, Hateful, or wrong in the Urantia Book because when reading it, it will 'ring true' like it has for almost everyone with the courage to read it for themselvs. So if your one of those people that cant see REAL TRUTH for themselves because of FEAR they learned in "CHURCH" about a Judgmental, vengeful, Retalitating and Punishing God - Then You WONT like the URANTIA book.
The Urantia book can stand on its own merits and should be read by ANYONE who yearns to fully understand what the Bible fails to do. Understand and make sense of our history as humans and to KNOW GOD/JESUS and the UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, TRUTH, COMPASSION, and the true - I repeat - TRUE CHRISTIANITY of JESUS.
For those who are seeking truth, Martin Gardner has done us a great service. He covers the history of those people who brought us the Utantia book. He makes a convincing case that this giant tome was conceived in deception. For those who believe that the Bible is true, will perceive that this possible channeled fantasy contradicts the Bible. For those who don't believe the Bible, they need to know that the creators of the Urantia book sprung forth or evolved from the Seventh day Adventist Church. A denomination with a false prophet and a history full of fanaticism. I highly recommend Martin Gardner's book, for anyone who has looked at the Urantia book or thinking of buying that ultimate grand cosmic fantasy.
