Did you know that on February 11th of this year?
0:03
The Urantia book will have been or at least the idea of the
0:06
Rancho Revelation has been in existence for 100 years.
0:11
We're going to talk about that next.
0:13
But I want to remind you that the fellowship and the
0:16
foundation in Chicago is having a huge event on February 11th,
0:21
actually, February 10th and 11th Friday and Saturday.
0:24
And you can attend via Zoom, or you can go in person if you
0:28
like. But either way, you need to
0:29
reach out to the Foundation, email, your Rancho Chicago, and
0:34
get full details. Your Ranch a Chicago at
0:36
gmail.com and you'll get full information on this exciting.
0:42
100 year anniversary. In a moment.
0:44
We're going to talk a little about the Revelation. 100 years
0:48
later when we continue February 11th, 2023 marks. 100
1:07
years, since the Urantia Revelation was born.
1:14
It was born in Chicago at 5:33 Diversey, Parkway a building
1:19
that still stands and is home to the Urantia Foundation.
1:27
It's a lot, a lot of information online about it.
1:31
There's no shortage of information online.
1:34
So I won't give you all the details.
1:37
Except to say that this website is a, is an examination of that
1:43
revelation. And I'm just going to be upfront
1:47
and honest with you. You're looking at something that
1:51
is so revelatory. The people don't even look at
1:57
it. The Vault, the sheer volume of
2:01
the content is over, while is overwhelming.
2:08
It truly is a spectacular collection of writings that that
2:16
completely portray a vibrant and living universe.
2:24
It says it's a gift of the Gods. And I'm not a religious man.
2:33
But I'm a man of intelligence and thought and I have studied
2:38
the Rancher Revelation for 40 years.
2:41
I have had thousands of discussions with people through
2:46
that time others from around the world. we've also studied the
2:51
imagi papers and we don't sit around and Pat ourselves on the
2:55
back for For being smart enough to discover the Revelation were
3:00
humbled by it. We're humbled by it so much that
3:04
we don't understand why other people aren't shouting about it
3:10
from the rooftops. This should be headlining
3:13
headline news. This should be something that it
3:21
screams attention. But because a third of it is
3:27
dedicated to the life and teachings of Jesus, you
3:30
immediately animal eliminate Christians.
3:35
Because Christians feel threatened when anything about
3:39
Christ comes their way that didn't come from the Bible and
3:43
then you have the rest of humanity.
3:46
That doesn't like Jesus, they're not interested.
3:52
And that's the world we live in today, folks.
3:54
So, the gods have given us a revelation of Truth, the history
3:59
book of the cosmos. A detailed explanation of how we
4:05
got here. And no one wants to read it.
4:09
It reminds me of when they nailed Jesus to the Cross,
4:15
nobody wanted to hear what he had to say.
4:17
He made people uncomfortable. Made a lot of Rich powerful
4:22
people very uncomfortable because he dared to say that God
4:25
belong to everybody not just them.
4:31
And so now we have a book, 2,000 years later, the tells us that
4:34
God belongs to everybody. and only a few people here that here
4:41
the message, but it's growing, it's growing.
4:50
It's something that you cannot ignore.
4:55
You simply cannot ignore it. You know, there were some
4:59
original criticisms about the Urantia book.
5:05
And dr. William Sadler who was part of
5:08
the contact commission, who made it possible?
5:12
Although he didn't write it and he didn't have any impact impact
5:17
on its narrative. He was able to Make it possible
5:23
for the Urantia book to come into existence.
5:27
And the reason that's true is because he treated a patient who
5:33
acted as a conduit of sorts. That was able to communicate
5:38
intelligently from the other side about the goings-on of the
5:43
ranch papers. And so again, without getting
5:48
into too much detail, dr. William Sadler was part of the
5:52
process. Of bringing people together.
5:57
Who could review and study the ranch of book and the papers as
6:01
they were coming through and I use that term as they were
6:05
coming through with a specific meaning.
6:08
No one knows who wrote the Rancher papers, they were in
6:11
handwritten form. When we saw them.
6:16
Did a patient of dr. Sadler act as a channeling
6:19
conduit. We don't know dr.
6:21
Sattler is emphatic about his point that there is no automatic
6:26
writing or channeling associated with the ranch papers.
6:30
He went to his grave by the way, saying people that are involved
6:35
in the study of the Rancho book even before it was published,
6:39
Will swear on a stack of Bibles that there was no Supernatural
6:44
event connected with the appearance of these papers.
6:47
Other than the fact of the appearance themselves, Now, some
6:52
speculate that it was probably a mid where that took translation
6:56
is dr. Sadler son, Bill.
6:58
Sadler once said, if you were sitting in the room at the time,
7:02
the ranch of papers were written, which you might see is
7:06
a pencil floating in space riding on pieces of paper.
7:11
But that's all you'd see. What you wouldn't see is that
7:15
the Midway are is sitting there. Holding the pencil who's
7:17
invisible to the Mortal eyes and he's listening to detail.
7:20
Ian from the superior seraphim, who might be getting the
7:25
original message from the author of High Spirit, being who
7:29
authored the paper in question, another 196 papers so,
7:40
Criticisms. After the book was published
7:42
from members of religious circles because when they first
7:46
published the book, they started sending it out the foundation.
7:51
And one of the criticisms that bill Sadler, writes about, and
7:55
all of this is available on your Ranch it out of work.
7:58
If you look at study AIDS, criticisms number one
8:04
theologians and Seminary professors will never endorse
8:07
the Urantia book. That's the number one criticism
8:12
of the Urantia book. The Seminary professors people
8:15
of theology people who are learned people who whose
8:21
backgrounds are in Christian teachings or Judea Christian
8:26
teachings or judaic teachings. And so Sadler's response to this
8:31
criticism was once upon a time, he imprisoned John sent
8:35
Messengers to Jesus for inquiry about the certainty of his
8:38
teachings and his mission. Did Jesus send word to John
8:42
saying quote go tell John the doctors of the law and the
8:46
professor's of the rabbinic. Academies of Jerusalem are
8:50
accepting the gospel. The leaders of the Pharisees,
8:54
and the Sadducees are being baptized, even some of the chief
8:58
priests and leading, citizens of Jerusalem are flocking to our
9:02
standard know. Jesus did not send that message
9:06
to John, but he did say to John, go back and tell John He is not
9:11
forgotten. Tell him what you have seen and
9:14
heard that the poor have good tidings preached to them.
9:20
From Mark, 12:37 in the in the New Testament.
9:24
Quote, The Common People heard him, gladly So I want to bring
9:31
this point up to the fact that one of the areas of the world
9:34
were the ranch, a book and indeed Christianity, still
9:38
flourishes is Africa. Africa is the is the number one
9:46
continent and the growth of contemporary Christianity.
9:50
There are more Christians emerging every year in Africa
9:55
than in any other country. Isn't that amazing?
10:01
Africa is the poorest country on the planet, has the most
10:04
impoverished people the most starvation.
10:09
It's also the largest country ruled mostly by despots and
10:12
Marxist. People who Will kill you if you
10:17
declare yourself a Christian. And yet, Christianity thrives.
10:27
Meanwhile, in the West. a Christian Nation based on judeo
10:31
Christian Christian values, and What is it now?
10:35
35 percent people say they're Christians. 65 percent.
10:39
Say they're not. And who's having all the
10:43
problems of corruption? Well Africa, has its corruption.
10:48
Just as America has its corruption.
10:52
But the corruption in America, also filters down like a river.
10:59
And we have corruption in the streets.
11:01
We have Anarchy, we have protest against law enforcement.
11:05
We have media that is intent on dividing people with class race
11:11
gender struggles. So we're not a nation of
11:16
God-fearing god-loving, you know, citizens far from it.
11:22
We love our Liberty. So much that we want to have a
11:26
right to Do whatever we want without question, we want free
11:32
will, but we don't think about where that Free Will comes from.
11:37
And why that Free Will is there. Things are not looking good in
11:41
the west, but that's not why we do this podcast.
11:44
We don't we're not going to focus on that.
11:46
While we are going to focus on the fact is that we are in the
11:49
midst of a revelation. And you can investigate how it
11:56
got here, who wrote it, how it came to be, or you can just pick
12:00
up the damn book and start reading.
12:01
I'll give you a good place to start.
12:04
Start from part, 3 of the book, The History of our planet start
12:08
their read the whole thing all the way up to paper 119.
12:15
Read it. Because if you have a good idea
12:19
of how our planet got here, how life formed you'll begin to see
12:24
the reality that the universe is not one big giant accident.
12:31
That's the lie that you've been told.
12:35
If you're a former Christian who walked away from the church,
12:39
stop right there, I've got something to show you.
12:44
I've got something that will blow you away.
12:47
If you're an atheist who's hell-bent on proving to the
12:50
world that God doesn't exist, stop right there.
12:55
I want to challenge you. Start from part, one of the
12:59
book, just read the first five papers and then put it down and
13:04
walk away. And then in 5 days, call me up.
13:09
Send me an email. Your answer book radio at
13:12
gmail.com. And tell me that you're Angie
13:16
book, didn't change your mind and your realized all along that
13:19
you were wrong. The life isn't one big.
13:22
That life is not one big accident. and that you're an
13:27
accident about imagine, if you told your children, Oh, we
13:32
didn't want to have you. You are an accident.
13:36
Me and Mom were coming back from a party one night.
13:39
We actually said we don't want kids and then boom, 9.9 months,
13:43
later your porn. Imagine if you told a child, how
13:46
they would feel to know that they're an accident of nature.
13:53
There's no purpose. Well that's basically what
13:56
science tells us. So you want to go ahead.
14:02
Believe that believe that you're just an accident of nature.
14:05
There's no purpose or what you're doing.
14:07
No, meaning in your life. How's that working out for you?
14:13
You know, that what is it? 4/10?
14:16
Forty percent of American adults now are taking some form of
14:20
antidepressant. Isn't that something?
14:24
How's that working out for you? Not working out very good.
14:27
Easy is it? You know I point out the fact
14:32
that the if you want to jump on Christianity or if you want to
14:38
say that religion is bad because it excludes people.
14:42
I'm going to tell you to stop right there.
14:44
That's not what we're talking about here.
14:47
Talking about an idea. And the idea is that you are
14:53
here for a purpose. They are endowed with the spirit
14:56
and that is where that Free Will comes from.
15:00
No other. No, other animal has free, will.
15:04
They have Instinct and they want to eat.
15:08
And everything is about the preservation but that's not free
15:11
will. Free Will is when you can
15:14
decide, for example, not to steal something from somebody.
15:21
Free Will is choosing to treat someone with respect. or helping
15:27
someone out, who is in danger, you could choose not to But that
15:33
Free Will is motivated by whatever motivates you if you're
15:37
motivated by goodness and a desire to serve other that
15:41
you're putting your free will. In the best possible light.
15:48
But if your free will is about stealing and taking and just
15:52
grabbing whatever you can get to better your own life at the
15:55
expense of others. Then that Free Will is being
15:58
abused. That's when animals do. so,
16:05
depending on the kind of world you want to live in, I would
16:10
argue that there's a lot of wonderful things that await and
16:17
all of it is described in the Rancho book.
16:20
So if your life is miserable, Or religion has failed you or your
16:25
marriage has failed. You or your life is failed to
16:29
pick up the ranch of a it's free.
16:31

16:35

16:36
Book or just search and the app store for your Rancho Del you
