    1. Paulo: More on Rebellion (Righteous Indignation; Denial)

 

 

 

 

PAULO: This is Paulo. I'm going to jump right in and continue our discussion on rebellion. I'm not going to talk throughout the entire meeting for there are others who also wish to address you today, but I will resume the discussion of rebellion, in part because of the release of the rebel midwayers from detention as a result of the adjudication and their being remanded back into action, as well as, in part, because you yourselves have been influenced by the planetary rebellion, that "war in heaven" that rendered you recalcitrant as a result of your upbringing.

PAULO: Even defiant, and to the point that you believe your illusion to the extent that you would risk extinction rather than acknowledge your wrong-doing. My, my. What an inheritance! Have we any wonder, boys and girls, why we have confusion on Urantia? How can I help to undertake to understand how deeply infused you are with these energies?

As it is, I have to confess to you that even while you profess to be interested in doing the will of God, your immaturity and your distortion renders you erroneous, often to the point of detriment, but none of your beliefs have risen to the level of betrayal such as was brought about by Lucifer's error. Thus you can all breathe easily as to the relativity of error but, in your career, your eternal career, it will forever be a point of fact that you incubated your soul in circumstances which, were you incubating a mortal fetus, could nearly guarantee you would be born with birth defects.

I will now cease my ramblings and, before I go, ask if there are questions in this context.

THOROAH: I had a bunch of questions at the beginning because it sounded like a long, long list of reasons that we should feel bad or justified or whatever. It's that innate in us. That seems a little overwhelming. And then the idea of being in a position where we can't help but produce error, no matter how good we get it, those things had me down in a dark pit there for awhile. But I understand the light at the end of the tunnel. So I guess I just had a comment.

And do we look back at Apostle Peter and suggest that he did not do the will of God? Not at all. His heart was true, in the right place. His motives were to be a deliverer of the gospel, such as he had experienced it and learned it by and through his association with the Master. His humanness is an inspiration to many. His religious zeal was a result of his personality expression in response to his faith. You who transmit, you who teach, you who are proponents of this Teaching Mission, you who wonder, question or doubt, have no cause for concern, for your enthusiasm and devotion cannot be different from Peter's who, while imperfect, was truly perfect in purpose. And he therefore lived up to all that he could be and all that he was has been handed down to you in and through his works. In Christianity. Understood?

Thus, fear not. Advance. And be of good cheer. See you next week.
