There you go again, your Urantia Book is the one cluless about Muhammad. All those celestial communications and thy didn't even have a clue of the spread of Islam?They didn't even mention any of the controversy of the statements in the Quran? Face it, that would be impossible from the viewpoint of celestial beings with massive amounts of knowledge to blank out on but when you put it into perspective that a Christian based group decided to write a Christian based book without having anything more than a sparse knowledge of religion in general you get the Urantia Book. Theaverage Christian does not know about Islam so the people who wrote the Urantia Book had very little knowledge about what was even in the Quran but een th Urantia Book admits Muslims WORSHIP GOD in the HIGHEST SENSE.
I know you can't understand my point but it is clear.

I know you can't understand my point but it is clear.
Jesus made no mention of the coming of Islam to replace his kingdom either…..but he did warn of false prophets.The UB explains that there Are revealed religions like Melchizedeks and evolved religions like Judaism and Islam which only contain partial truth and error.
Islam is wrong about Jesus, does not respect his office and authority and has been violently battling Christians for centuries. Even now they murder Christians and burn churches in Egypt. Like Jerusalem, if Islam persists in its oppressive and rebellious ways against Gods Son, it will share the same fate as the Israelites.
The Son has always been “the way” to the Father regardless of weather or not you understand it, agree with it or labor against the Son.

Hi BD,The term “Paradise” isn't in that verse?
And as usual you ignore other similar verses…“The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: Which
indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a

I was demonstrating allegory for you.The comment about Paradise was to say it is clearer than the analogy “Kingdom of God”

Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.” (Romans 8:9)“So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him

So according to your logic the Jews could have never been “children of the Most High” as reported here:Psalm 82:6
I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.These people did not accept the ransom sacrifice, how is it the were called “the children of the MOST HIGH”?
