In the 1955 text item 5 in the list below reads: "Absolute perfection in no direction, relative perfection in all other manifestations." The word 'other' was removed in subsequent Urantia Foundation printings. See note below.

Original Paragraph:

^{P3:6, 000:1.19} When we attempt to conceive of perfection in all phases and forms of relativity, we encounter seven conceivable types:

1. Absolute perfection in all aspects.
2. Absolute perfection in some phases and relative perfection in all other aspects.
3. Absolute, relative, and imperfect aspects in varied association.
4. Absolute perfection in some respects, imperfection in all others.
5. Absolute perfection in no direction, relative perfection in all other manifestations.
   
6. Absolute perfection in no phase, relative in some, imperfect in others.
7. Absolute perfection in no attribute, imperfection in all.

 

Webmaster's editorial note: The material believed to be the source of this section in The Urantia Book is from "Man's Vision of God" by Charles Hartshorne.

On page 8 of Hartshorne's book the seven types of perfection and relativity are listed as follows:

1. Absolute perfection in all respects.
2. Absolute perfection in some respects, relative perfection in all others.
3. Absolute perfection, relative perfection, and "imperfection" (neither absolute nor relative perfection), each in some respects.
4. Absolute perfection in some respects, imperfection in all others.
5. Absolute perfection in no respects, relative in all.
6. Absolute perfection in no respects, relative in some, imperfection in the others.
7. Absolute perfection in no respects, imperfection in all
