[[Christ]] [[Michael]] presented for the fourth time to [[Urantia]] the [[concept]] of [[God]] as the [[Universal Father]], and this teaching has generally persisted ever since. The [[essence]] of his teaching was [[love]] and [[service]], the loving [[worship]] which a [[creature]] son [[voluntarily]] gives in [[recognition]] of, and [[response]] to, the loving [[ministry]] of [[God]] his [[Father]]; the [[freewill]] [[service]] which such [[creature]] sons [[bestow]] upon their brethren in the [[joyous]] [[realization]] that in this [[service]] they are likewise serving [[God]] [[the Father]].[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_92#92:4._THE_GIFT_OF_REVELATION]


*'''''The first century after Christ.'''''
As a [[religious]] [[teacher]], [[Jesus]] of [[Nazareth]] started out with the [[cult]] which had been [[established]] by [[John the Baptist]] and progressed as far as he could away from fasts and forms. Aside from [[Jesus]], [[Paul, the Apostle|Paul of Tarsus]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philo_of_Alexandria Philo of Alexandria] were the greatest [[teachers]] of this era. Their [[concepts]] of religion have played a dominant part in the [[evolution]] of that [[faith]] which bears the name of [[Christ]].
*'''''The sixth century after Christ.'''''
[[Mohammed]] founded a [[religion]] which was superior to many of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creed creed]s of his time. His was a protest against the [[social]] demands of the [[faiths]] of foreigners and against the incoherence of the [[religious]] life of his own people.
*'''''The fifteenth century after Christ.'''''
This period witnessed two [[religious]] [[movements]]: the disruption of the [[unity]] of [[Christianity]] in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occident Occident] and the [[synthesis]] of a new [[religion]] in the [[Orient]]. In Europe institutionalized [[Christianity]] had [[attained]] that degree of inelasticity which rendered further [[growth]] incompatible with [[unity]]. In the Orient the combined teachings of [[Islam]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinduism Hinduism], and [[Buddhism]] were synthesized by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanak Nanak] and his followers into [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikhism Sikhism], one of the most advanced religions of Asia.
