Jesus' teachings at Urmia, as adapted to twentieth-century religious and political conditions:

*“If one man craves freedom -- '''liberty''' -- he must remember that all other men long for the same '''freedom'''. Groups of such liberty-loving people cannot live together in peace without following such laws, rules, and regulations as will grant each person the same degree of freedom while at the same time safeguarding an equal degree of freedom for all people. If one person is to be absolutely free, then another must become an absolute slave. And the relative nature of freedom is true socially, economically, and politically. '''Freedom is the gift of civilization made possible by the enforcement of LAW'''.

*"'''Religion makes it spiritually possible to realize the brotherhood of men''', but it will require '''mankind government''' to regulate the social, economic, and political problems associated with such a goal of human happiness and efficiency.

*"'''There will be wars and rumors of wars''' -- nation will rise against nation -- just as long as the world's political sovereignty is divided up and unjustly held by a group of nation-states. England, Scotland, and Wales were always fighting each other until they gave up their respective sovereignties, reposing them in the United Kingdom.

*"War is not man's great and terrible disease. War is a symptom, a result. '''The real disease is the virus of national sovereignty'''.

*"Urantia nations have not possessed real sovereignty. They've never had a sovereignty that could protect them from the ravages and devastations of world wars. In the creation of the global government of mankind, the nations are not giving up sovereignty so much as they are actually creating a real, bona fide, and lasting '''world sovereignty''' which will be fully able to protect them from all war. Local governments will handle local affairs. National governments will handle national affairs. Global government will administer International affairs.

*“Treaties, diplomacy, foreign policies, alliances, balances of power, or any other type of makeshift juggling with the sovereignties of nationalism cannot maintain world peace. World law must come into being and must be enforced by world government -- the '''sovereignty of all mankind'''.
