Question: Will Christianity ever awaken to its irreconcilable doctrinal inconsistencies? How can Urantia Book readers help to prepare the way? But is it really all that important?
For many Urantia Book readers the answers have slowly and painfully evolved over many years.
For some the answer may be that it is not solely our task. We all have our own indwelling Spirit of God--our Thought Adjuster-- plus the Spirit of Truth--Jesus' Spirit--to guide us. The answers for such problems are in the hands of Divinity. The means to the answers are ours--or at least it is a shared task:
This gospel of the kingdom belongs to both Jew and gentile, to rich and poor, to free and bond, to male and female, even to the little children. And you are all to proclaim this gospel of love and truth by the lives which you live in the flesh. You shall love one another with a new and startling affection, even as I have loved you. You will serve mankind with a new and amazing devotion, even as I have served you. And when men see you so love them, and when they behold how fervently you serve them, they will perceive that you have become faith-fellows of the kingdom of heaven, and they will follow after the Spirit of Truth which they see in your lives, to the finding of eternal salvation. (TUB 191: 6.2)
Salvation is the free gift of God, but those who are born of the spirit will immediately begin to show forth the fruits of the spirit in loving service to their fellow creatures. And the fruits of the divine spirit which are yielded in the lives of spirit-born and God-knowing mortals are: loving service, unselfish devotion, courageous loyalty, sincere fairness, enlightened honesty, undying hope, confiding trust, merciful ministry, unfailing goodness, forgiving tolerance, and enduring peace. (TUB 193: 2.2)
