Were the evangelists also disciples of Jesus?
The authors of the four New Testament gospels are collectively known as the evangelists. However, the gospels were originally anonymous and were only attributed to the apostles whose names they now bear, later in the second century. Thus, by tradition, the authors of Matthew's Gospel and John's Gospel are regarded as disciples of Jesus, while the authors of Mark and Luke, while important apostles, were not original disciples.However, scholars say that none of the evangelists could have been an eyewitness to the events described, and therefore none of the evangelists was among the disciples of Jesus. We do not know who the gospel authors were.
What is the longest sentence in the Urantia Book?
Total words: 232* "Much of my difficulty was due to the unending conflict between the two natures of my subject: the urge of ambition opposed by animal indolence; the ideals of a superior people crossed by the instincts of an inferior race; the high purposes of a great mind antagonized by the urge of a primitive inheritance; the long-distance view of a far-seeing Monitor counteracted by the nearsightedness of a creature of time; the progressive plans of an ascending being modified by the desires and longings of a material nature; the flashes of universe intelligence cancelled by the chemical-energy mandates of the evolving race; the urge of angels opposed by the emotions of an animal; the training of an intellect annulled by the tendencies of instinct; the experience of the individual opposed by the accumulated propensities of the race; the aims of the best overshadowed by the drift of the worst; the flight of genius neutralized by the gravity of mediocrity; the progress of the good retarded by the inertia of the bad; the art of the beautiful besmirched by the presence of evil; the buoyancy of health neutralized by the debility of disease; the fountain of faith polluted by the poisons of fear; the spring of joy embittered by the waters of sorrow; the gladness of anticipation disillusioned by the bitterness of realization; the joys of living ever threatened by the sorrows of death." * The Urantia Book Paper 111 - The Adjuster and the Soul Section 7.5 The Adjuster's Problem Author: a guardian seraphim (angel) [ The long sentence is preceded by this introduction of the presenter of Paper 111, a Solitary Messenger of Orvonton: "The higher human races of Urantia are complexly admixed; they are a blend of many races and stocks of different origin. This composite nature renders it exceedingly difficult for the Monitors to work efficiently during life and adds definitely to the problems of both the Adjuster and the guardian seraphim after death. Not long since I was present on Salvington and heard a guardian of destiny present a formal statement in extenuation of the difficulties of ministering to her mortal subject. This seraphim said:" (111:7.4) ]

What is the difference between the Urantia Book and the Urantia Papers?
Prior to the 1990s, before the Internet's worldwide impact on culture and commerce, "Urantia Book" referred to a published compilation of the Urantia Papers, the fifth epochal revelation to our planet (Urantia). As a printed book (first published in 1955 with a hard cover), the Urantia Book contains a Table of Contents, the Foreword, all 196 Papers, and an Index. Currently on the Internet, "Urantia Book" may refer to an exact electronic reproduction of a printed edition with its page and paragraph numbering or it may refer to alternate presentations of the Papers. These presentations of displayed or downloadable text may be identified as the "Urantia Book, Urantia Papers, Book of Urantia" or by other names which do not always include the term "Urantia". Since the English text of the Urantia Book is in the public domain, some of the Papers (or selected paragraphs of the Papers) now appear on web pages as a subset of the total set of 196 Papers. The majority of these web pages identify the Urantia Book (or Urantia Papers) as the source of the material. However, some web pages neither identify the source nor provide links to other sites which maintain the complete set of Papers. Also, paraphrased and/or abridged versions of the Papers have been published as printed books or are available online, some not including the word "Urantia" in their titles. Because the individual Papers often refer to other parts of this revelation, the fifth "Urantia Blessing" received by mankind, a home library (or computer) should maintain a complete set of the Papers for reference. Variable text search, point & click indexing from a Table of Contents and an A-Z Index are becoming popular new features of some digital editions of the Urantia Papers. In Urantia Book study groups where participants use different media to read the Papers, page numbering is losing importance since electronic books, laptop and tablet computers often provide user-selected display options. But the standardized Paper:Section.paragraph numbering of current editions of the Papers facilitates easy synchronization for all study group participants. Also, current editions of the Papers include most text corrections recommended by the joint Fellowship/Foundation Standardized Reference Text committee. However, some of the more recent text changes may not be present in much earlier versions of the printed and online Urantia Papers. In summary, "Urantia Book" refers to the human compilation of the material received as our planet's fifth epochal revelation: the Urantia Papers. A Urantia Book always includes a Table of Contents and alphabetized Index; some editions also include a Topical Index. A Urantia Book may be a printed book with a hard or soft cover or it may be a digital file which is displayed online or can be downloaded; the Urantia Papers currently appear as a digital file only, displayed online or downloadable.

Is the book of the urantia and the book of the apocrypha true?
The "book of the urantia" has also been expressed as the "Book of Urantia", but neither expression is the published title (since first publication in 1955): the Urantia Book. The "book of the apocrypha", at least in association with the Urantia Book, is not a published book and refers more to the loose collection of writings and notes (a collection not necessarily identified in its entirety) created during the reception of the Urantia Papers in the early 20th century and their later compilation into the Urantia Book. Incidentally, "apocrypha" often refers to secret or hidden writings, so how would such writings be evaluated by most truth seekers? Whether or not such a Urantia apocrypha has value - relative to the purpose and message of this revelation - might be determined in later decades. For the interim, this apocrypha is only assumed to exist as a formal collection, is mostly controversial, and is usually ignored by long-time students of the Papers. Since the entirety of the apocrypha still needs to be identified, ascertaining its truth is the challenge for later generations. As for the Book, which reveals our planet's existence amongst many other inhabited planets in an intelligent, spiritual universe of unfathomable size, its message of the brotherhood of man and fatherhood of a universal creator is key - if this is believed to be true, one can easily find truth in the Papers. The Foreword page of the online Urantia Blessing site identifies Acknowledgments by the authors/sponsors of the Papers and lists those authors/sponsors by their universe title. The Acknowledgements provide a good starting point for determining whether or not an epochal revelation (the fifth to our planet) has been received.

What is the Urantia Blessing?
A concept derived from the story of Melchizedek in the Urantia Book: About 4000 years ago, this priest of Salem declared "I am Melchizedek, priest of El Elyon, the Most High, the one and only God" (93:2.1). A decade later, Melchizedek sent an invitation to Abraham, saying "Come to Salem, where you shall hear our teachings of the truth of the eternal Creator" (93:5.5). "And this preacher of a supernal God never ceased to proclaim this God of love. 'I dwell in the high and holy place, also with him who is of contrite and humble spirit.' And once again did the fear-destroying gospel of Melchizedek shine forth for the blessing of mankind" (97:7.12). In the spirit of Melchizedek, our planet's third epochal revelation, this "Urantia Blessing" has again appeared with the arrival of our fifth epochal revelation, the Urantia Papers. The Papers were received in the early decades of the 20th century then compiled later to create the Urantia Book, first published in 1955. This new concept of "the Urantia Blessing" (theUB) includes all five epochal revelations as described in the Urantia Papers: "There have been many events of religious revelation but only five of epochal significance" (92:4.4). These five epochal revelations begin with the Dalamatian teachings (early humans) and are followed consecutively by the Edenic teachings (Adam and Eve), Melchizedek of Salem, Jesus of Nazareth and the Urantia Papers.

Who wrote the Urantia book?
The various super-human authors of the Urantia Book (the English text is now in the public domain) are named in "The Titles of the 196 Papers" in the front of the Book which may be freely perused, searched and downloaded online. Some of the details on when and how this "fifth epochal revelation" to our planet, Urantia, was indited into the English language are contained in the text of the Urantia Book. These Urantia Papers, a "composite presentation by many beings" (92:4.9), were received and compiled into the Urantia Book in the early 20th century by a small contact group of humans, led by Dr. William Sadler and his wife, Dr. Lena Sadler. No one in this group ever revealed any significant details about this process and they were never able to observe how the early handwritten material was made to appear on paper. Several books (authored by humans) were published in later decades, attempting to elaborate on the missing details but verification of any "evidence" is difficult for this reason: the celestial overseers of the project did not permit the contact group to share any significant information. And the group was required to eliminate physical evidence of this revelatory birth (extending for several decades) before the Book was first published. However, this fifth epochal "Urantia Blessing" itself identifies at least 18 universe titles and 5 personal names of non-human beings (celestial personalities) who either authored or sponsored the 196 Papers and the introductory Foreword: Archangel, Brilliant Evening Star, Chief of Archangels, Chief of Evening Stars, Chief of Midwayers, Chief of Seraphim, Divine Counselor, Life Carrier, Machiventa Melchizedek, Malavatia Melchizedek, Manovandet Melchizedek, Mantutia Melchizedek, Melchizedek, Midwayer Commission, Mighty Messenger, One High in Authority, One Without Name and Number, Perfector of Wisdom, Secondary Lanonandek, Solitary Messenger, Solonia, Universal Censor, Vorondadek Son. Who compiled the Urantia Papers into book format and which organization first published it in 1955 is known - who actually authored the Papers is unknown (according to human standards of such evidence). These revelatory Papers acknowledge that the celestial contributors were required by higher universe authorities to "give preference to the highest existing human concepts"(0:12:11). Recently, one dedicated researcher has assembled convincing evidence of the sources of many of these edited and/or paraphrased human concepts that were included in the Papers. For many truth seekers, after reading certain Sections of this revelation, the answer to the question becomes obvious: no human could have authored that text! Also, the Papers were analyzed years later and discovered to contain noticeably different writing styles. Whether human or celestial, the "composite presentation by many beings" is confirmed. The revelatory quality of this presentation can be determined only by the reader. See also on wiki.answers: "Who are the celestial authors of the Urantia Papers?"

Which is the revelation Urantia Book or Urantia Papers?
This question has long been answered by Paper 92 of the Urantia Papers. In particular, the first Urantia Book did not exist when the words of 92:4.4 were written: "There have been many events of religious revelation but only five of epochal significance": 1. The Dalamatian teachings. (early humans) 2. The Edenic teachings. (Adam and Eve) 3. Melchizedek of Salem. 4. Jesus of Nazareth. (Christ Michael) 5. The Urantia Papers. So, Urantia Book can only be "the human compilation of the Urantia Papers into book format." Seemingly, an insignificant point unless in the future the Book becomes sacred to some readers, since as "Papers" that sacredness is not easily assigned (and perhaps why the revelators chose "Papers" for 92:4.4 knowing that "Book" would be the first published format).
When was The Urantia Book created?

What is a Urantia pearl?
"Urantia Pearl" is new symbolism derived from the following quote in the Urantia Papers, our planet's Fifth Epochal Revelation. That the pearl is the only jewel made by a living creature provides the symbolic association with the continuing spiritual advancement of our planet, Urantia, in its march to light and life*. For as the planet advances by the efforts of continuous generations of living mortals so does the pearl develop by the responses of the oyster to its stimulating environment: "You were truly among the least of all creation until Michael's bestowal elevated your planet to a position of honor and great universe interest"** The Urantia Pearl geometric symbol consists of four nested circles having incremental diameters in 1,2,3,4 relationship. For example, diameters of 100, 200, 300, and 400 units reflects the diameters of one set of Urantia Pearl circles. These incremental diameters are symbolic of the purposeful and guided steps whereby mortals ascend to the many advancement plateaus in the local universe before they continue with the Paradise ascent. Also, the four nested circles are positioned to create an abstract representation of the universe circuits, representation that is reminiscent of the concentric circles symbol revealed in the Urantia Papers.*** Unlike the concentric circles symbol with its white and azure blue colors, the Urantia Pearl symbol may display the circles' geometry in any media and with the artistic embellishment and colors preferred by the artist, symbolism of universe-mandated free will. the Urantia Papers, published since 1955 as the Urantia Book: * Paper 55, Introduction, "The Spheres of Light and Life". ** Paper 41, Section 10, "Origin of Inhabited Worlds". *** Paper 93, Section 3, "Melchizedek's Teachings".
