In this issue of Innerface, we attempt to bring to the notice of the reader, those special attributes assigned to a range of topics by the Papers.

   Hard and fast definitions are rarely possible. Good examples are "morality" and "meanings and values." Both may be described as situational. Their meaning is often unique to the particular situation being described. This will alter on every occasion, for no situation ever happens in precisely the same way again.

   Terms like beauty and goodness are, to a large extent, "in the eye of the beholder." And still others that cannot be nailed down are expressions such as "the will of God." These are concepts the meaning for which needs to be "intuited" by the reader from an examination of many examples.

   Thus exactness is often not a possibility. We may be forced to derive a subjective meaning purely from our own experience. Many situations can be pinned down more satisfactorily from the basic ideals that each individual builds up over a lifetime. Needless to say, this will be progressive, the moving sum of many separate occasions of experience.

   Sometimes a guiding principle is available. If we are intimately familiar with the life, thought, and actions of Jesus of Nazareth, we may get a lead from the question, "What do I think Jesus would do in such an instance." Our answers will change over time as the product of our experiences. That is the way of things.

   Vital information for Urantians Is what is God like, and what does God ask from us. If we are informed that God is love, or God is good, what does that information really tell us?

   Real knowledge of God can only come from divine revelation. The simple reason for that is because the lower cannot define the higher--the created cannot define its creator.

   It follows that dependable knowledge of what God is like and what he requires of us can only be derived from a divine authority.

   Many people believe that Jesus of Nazareth was the direct source of virtually all that we know about God. Unfortunately his message was distorted badly due to  gentile misunderstanding of imagery in the traditional Jewish mode of story telling--which the Gentiles interpreted literally.

   The Urantia Papers correct those errors. We let them speak for themselves.
