| On a world as [[confused]] as [[Urantia]] it becomes less clear the finality of such a decision to become wholly detached from the [[divine]], from [[righteousness]], [[goodness]]. The lack of [[guidance]] upon your world has caused great [[confusion]], and some indulge themselves in such [[rebellious]] actions without the [[awareness]] that there are truly [[eternal]] [[consequences]], that the world upon which you live is not one of [[random]] [[actions]], of non-consequential [[decisions]]. To some the world is merely a playground in which to revel it up and then cease to be. The [[behavior]] of such [[individuals]] may appear to be [[iniquitous]] while the [[soul]] has yet to reject [[spirit]], for it does not know what spirit is that it could reject it. | | On a world as [[confused]] as [[Urantia]] it becomes less clear the finality of such a decision to become wholly detached from the [[divine]], from [[righteousness]], [[goodness]].

This commission, the second commission, is functioning to [[diversify]] the [[statements]], not in [[meaning]], but in its asimil-ability to the various peoples of [[Urantia]], for as you have indicated, it is western in its initial presentation.

When he stood upon the world he spoke great [[truths]], many recorded and many in [[existence]] today, but when he left and the [[Spirit of Truth]] was bestowed every [[individual]] could pursue the way of the master, could follow him. This created great [[diversity]] in the [[gospel]] of [[Jesus]].
