	Urantia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 2001, the Urantia Foundation lost a court decision concerning the book's U.S. copyright, and the text of the original English version is in the public domain.
		The Urantia Book states that Jesus' crucifixion was not an atonement for the sins of humanity...instead his death is described as a human outcome of the fears of the religious authorities of the day.
		The main Urantia symbol is three concentric blue circles on a white background (described as the "banner of Michael" in the Urantia Book — as opposed to the "Lucifer emblem" of a fl disk within a red circle on a white background).

	01-6347 -- Michael Foundation Inc. v. Urantia Foundation -- 03/11/2003
		Urantia Foundation is the proprietor of the copyright in The Urantia Book and, under the governing statute, the proprietor of a copyright in a composite work may renew its copyright in both the compilation and the individual underlying works.
		Urantia Foundation argues, as a preliminary matter, that the question of initial classification of works for copyright purposes is a question of law for the court and that the district court therefore erred when it submitted the question to the jury.
		Urantia Foundation does not request reversal; rather, it incorporates its challenge to the jury instruction into its argument that initial classification is a matter of law for the court.

	Urantia
		Urantia is one of many esoteric New Age religious efforts to create spirituality within the context of the philosophic naturalism and modernism that pervades Western culture.
		The Urantia can be classified as a cult largely due to their ex-biblical revelation and the fact that according to their teachings, the Lord Jesus Christ is considered a created spirit being, rather than the preexistent, second person of the Trinity, God the Son.
		As the savage mind evolved to that point where it envisaged both good and bad spirits, and when the taboo received the solemn sanction of evolving religion, the stage was all set for the appearance of the new conception of sin.

	Identifying and Dealing with Cults: Urantia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		But in reality, the Urantia book is in direct conflict with the Bible on many important doctrines, including the most important one which is the issue of salvation from eternal damnation in Hell through faith in Jesus Christ.
		Most of the Urantia book flies in the face of God's statement to us in Deuteronomy 29:29, which says, "The secret [things belong] unto the LORD our God: but those [things which are] revealed [belong] unto us and to our children for ever, that [we] may do all the words of this law".
		Satan plays on our fears in the Urantia book by soothing us with lying reassurances that Hell does not exist, and by focusing on God's love and mercy while distracting us away from God's judgment and wrath against those who do not accept Jesus as their savior.

		The UB Fellowship was founded in 1955 as the Urantia Brotherhood and is an association of people who say they have been inspired by the "transformative teachings" of the UB.
		The UB also reveals that the "Universe is literally teeming with inhabited planets, evolving life, civilizations in various states of development, celestial spheres, and spirit personalities." In short, the UB is over 2,000 pages of "revelations" from superhuman beings which "correct" the errors and omissions of the Bible.
		Originally, he says, the UB was the "Bible" of a cult of separatist Seventh Day Adventists, allegedly channeled by Wilfred Kellogg and edited by founder William Sadler, a Chicago psychiatrist.

		The Urantia Book makes it very clear in many places that understanding the duality of the nature of God is indigenous to understanding the treasures in our revelationbut this duality extends into the superuniverses and has absolutely nothing to do with the "gender" of God.

		The records show that shortly before The URANTIA Book was published, the CIA began an extensive search for, and development of exceptionally-gifted persons exhibiting perfect esp performance (1952), and the following year MKULTRA planted at least one “very specialized observer” at seances, seeking a “broad surveillance of all individuals attending meetings”.
		And that was also the same year that then-future Urantia movement official, General (then Major) Duane Faw, was poised just over the horizon from the Dominican Republic with his combat-ready Marine amphibious unit, ready to go ashore and seize its government if need be during the CIA operation there.
		Vern was, as may be surmised from events, used by NSA to divide the Urantia movement, to take out Waldrop's potential competition, and to provide a stepping stone for Waldrop to attain his URANTIA Foundation Trusteeship.
