Urantia Radio

How did life evolve? Was it accidental, or by deisgn? Let's look at what the Urantia Book says in Part 3 on the origin of life on our world. And an extraordinary confession from an astrophysicist who says spontaneous creation is highly unlikely, and that the arrangement of black holes throughout the universe proves the creation could not have been random.

This episide covers several different topics all related to Jesus Christ, Son of Man and Son of God to over a billion people. But what do those terms mean? and what is the real significance of this man who appeared on the scene two-thousand years ago and changed the entire world with his teachings? And who was Jesus before the bestowal? why was it so important? Today, thousands are punished and even willing to face death because of their faith in him, governments today still fear him, and more Western countries who have benefited from his teachings shun him to their own peril. Let's go deep on this, because no other subject draws such dramatic comparisons between the teachings of Christianity and the teachings of the Urantia Book, than in the story of Jesus.

Perhaps the second most important spiritual leader in history, whose influence led to Abraham, Moses, the great religious awakening of the 5th Century, and still later, preparer of the one who prepared the world for Jesus. Here is how Melchizedek saved our world. In this episode we discuss - Early Hebrew faith - The birth of Monotheism - The link between Abraham and Moses, both of whom founders of the Hebrew- and later- Christian faith, as well as Islam. - The dangers of over-teaching revealed truth.

One familiar with the Urantia Book knows the inter-lapping connection between the Urantia Book and the Bible. But Why? Why did the writers of the Urantia Book go to extra lengths to clarify Hebrew-and later, the Christian teachings to the esclsuion of th eother world religions? Why does the Urabtia Book spend over 700 pages on Jesus, and yet the UB is not considered a Christian document? That is the subject of this episode of the Urantia Book. It leads to a greater discussion to how the Urantia Book teachings could be the key to an energized modern upgrade of Christian thought. In our discussion: - The legend of Adam and Eve, and the Garden Eden explained - The Floods and NoahWho Was Katro of the Kenites? - The Story of Melchizedek, Abraham and Moses - Who were the Prophets and what made the Hebrews so special?

From Paper 114 we learn how the living universe is much like the human body. Listen as a Mighty Messenger (who are one-time ascendant mortals like ourselves) explains "the Living Universe."

In this episode we answer listeenr questions about The Supreme Being, imperfection in time and space and how to connect with our spirit within through prayer, worship and communion. Plus, current events viewed from a Urantia perspective on Islam and Christianity, and the power of prayer.

Majorie Ray, scienitist and Urantia Book student, joins us to talk about the Nov 6 and 7, 2025 Scientific Symposium (sponsored by the Urantia Foundation) We discuss current events, the growth of the revelation, her recent trip to various Urantia community events, as well as in Israel, and the future of the fifth epochal revelation. Bio on file:Marjorie Ray is a retired biochemist who was given The Urantia Book over 45 years ago. Jim Mills, also a trained scientist, was an early and profound influence upon her studies. After graduate school in Florida, Margie became a scientist at The University of Alabama Birmingham. Having participated in some of the largest science endeavors on this planet, including six NASA Space Shuttle missions, a Soyuz, and one SpaceX mission to Space Station, Margie continues to find coherence in both science and personal religious experience as revealed in The Urantia Book. Now into her seventh decade, she hopes to be of more service to the Urantia Book community.

Today, there are several examples around us that show how angels are helping humanity, from brokered peace deals, to cooperative efforts of disease prevention, and even education outreach. These sound like human endeavors, but how much are we being influenced by the presence of our "unseen friends" behind the scenes? According to the Urantia Book in Paper 114, they are everywhere and their range in human affairs is vast ,as 'The Most High Rules in the Kingdoms of men" is explained....

Let's talk about the spirit that lies within each of us. If you have a question about the Urantia Book, please ask me. Today the question is:: tell us about the seven psychic circles, and what of the Thought Adjusters? Music intro by Cristina Seaborne

In response to a listener email about Thought Adjusters and the Seven Psychic Circles (Paper 110), we delve into the purpose of this spirit fragment in us and its relationship with us throughout our lives. The email really got me thinking about the universal truth of potentials and actuals in the physical world and in the spiritual world. After all, it is not what we are, but what we strive to be that matters most in our journey.

In this episode, we discover the story of what happened with Jesus on Mt. Hermon prior to his baptism. There are lessons of fatherhood, mercy, the resolution of the Lucifer rebellion, and why this may be the most important passage you will find in the entire Urantia Book. It appears everything we know and care about in the universe came down to this one moment in time. It's the story everyone needs to hear in order to understand the profound relationship God has with his children.

In this episode, we look at what life is like on our sister sphere, a world very similar to our own as described in full detail in Paper 72 from the Urantia Book. The Urantia Book informs us special permission was required by the Melchizedek who sponsored Paper 72 depicting the living conditions and standards of a race of humans who constitute a continental nation comprised of 140 million inhabitants on a “near-distant” world. If we were given this information to achieve societal advancement, to better our conditions and to improve our estate, then perhaps we should take a deeper look at how our sister sphere is coming along, since it appears we are not so different, even from our galactic cousins who also inhabit God’s wonderful creation.

In this topical impromptu discussion, would conservative American activist Charlie Kirk, a man who dedicated his life to God and Christ, and who successfully influenced a young generation comprised of over 20 million people towards Christ-based principles, be an excellent candidate for a seat at the table of the Four and Twenty Elders described in the Bible (Revelations) and in the Urantia Book? These Elders were put in place by Christ himself, and they have continued to serve as an advisory committee of human affairs on our world, according to the Urantia papers. Among these elders council members, we are told are John the Baptist, Enoch, Adam and Eve, and other past human leaders of importance, who now sit on this heavenly council. It's worth exploring just how much influence Kirk in his short time on earth.
