A Clearer Understanding of Jesus
From the Book of Urantia
Posted by aplecompte on July 15th, 2009
I grew up mocking Jesus as a pious loser. So recently I was pleased to read in the Book of Urantia, Part IV, The Life and Teachings of Jesus, that “Self-conscious piety had no place in his philosophy.”
He was a man, certainly more intelligent and more friendly than most, who “by faith achieved the knowing and the doing of the will of God.” I highly recommend reading Part IV, which explains why Jesus did what he did and how Christianity misunderstood him. It is available online at http://www.urantia.org/papers/paper122.html I have also uploaded my own ten-page summary of Part IV.
