UBtheNews founder and longtime Urantia Book reader Halbert Katzen shares important insights as to the next vital step for wider acceptance of the Urantia Book. We discuss mysticism, channeling, repudiation and other distractions that undermine Urantia credibility.

To Halbert's credit, his UBAnnotated project (and UBtheNews) continues to challenge UB skeptics by providing evidentiary information that validates the Urantia Book assertions on anthrooplogy, geology, early human history, race, Adam and Eve's legacy and other fascinating subjects.

During these times it is good to reflect back at the early beginnings of man and and the first revelation gifted to us by the Sons of the Most High, and also to spend a few minutes to consider the power of prayer and worship as spiritual aids, and how connection to God is vital to our spiritual growth.

Topic of this episode is Echoes of Divine Hierarchy: A Comparative Analysis of the Sons of God in the Urantia Book and the Catholic Church Structure and The Providential Hand In Catholicism.

Perhaps at some future point the Catholic Church may welcome the Temple of the Father at St. Peter's Basilica, as described in Revelations and The Urantia Book.

We continue with our series on several of the more notable Apostles, as described in paper 139 of the Urantia Book.

We learn about the diverse backgrounda and personality of Matthew Levi, and his fellow Apostle Thomas Dydimus; what made these men tick, what was their family life like, and how did Jesus appeal to them?

Many readers relate to one or more of the Apostles, perhaps there are qualities in these two men that will touch your heart.

What About the Science in the Urantia Book? Let's ask one.

Continuing our series on the Apostle from paper 139, we now learn about Andrew and Simon Peter, brothers and friends of John and James Zebedee, whom introduced them to Jesus as candidates for Apostolic consideration.

We learn about the characters of these two young men, how they complimented each other in life, Peter's penchant for getting in trouble, and how Andrew, or " Chief" as the twelve referred to him, became the administrative head of this unique group of men who would go on to become Ambassadors of the Kingdom.

From paper 139 we explore the personalities as they are described n the Urantia Book regarding John Zebedee and Judas Iscariot, two apostles who could not be farther apart in personality, character and faith in the their faith with Jesus.

Paper 72, section 11 teaches about life on a planet and no country not unlike our own, with a similarly checkered past, and a time line commensurate with our own present advancement.
