The Cosmic Citizen

The " LOST YEARS" The New Testament’s  “Story of Jesus, ” has a Black Hole of time and activity, from the ages of  12 years old to approx.30 of Jesus' life.  On one page of the Gospel of Luke Jesus is 12 years old in the Temple in Jerusalem and then... nothing... nothing for 18 years until Jesus shows up at the River Jordan to be baptized by John the Baptist. A question mark continues to hang over how Jesus spent his time between the ages of roughly 4 to about 12, …and then the years between13 and 30.   From 3 perspectives * The Biblical Worldview * The Academic/Scholastic * The Urantia Book www.godsgumshoe.org On facebook:  Godss Gumshoe Twitter: @godsgumshoe ****   You may also like these other programs by God's Gumshoe:**** "SPIRITQUEST" is also on blogtalkradio at this address.: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/godsgumshoe/2013/04/27/spiritquest--gods-gumshoe-investigates-another-dimension And  GG's YouTube Channel is here:  http://www.youtube.com/user/godsgumshoe?feature=mhee A FULL Archive of this NT Bible series at: http://www.urantiabook.org/audio/gods-gumshoe/gg-index.html

This week on the Cosmic Citizen we will begin a study of Paper 113, The Seraphic Guardians of Destiny, as presented in The Urantia Book.  This paper gives an in depth overview of those beings that humankind lovingly refers to as Guardian Angels, the same beings known in the Urantia Book as The Seraphic Guardians of Destiny.  If you believe in angels, and even if you don't, this Paper will likely intrigue and inspire you. if you know angels exist and have pondered what they do, how they function, what universal laws they abide by, and how they help and serve humanity, you won't want to miss the next two shows. Perhaps you have already perused the amazing teachings on angels in The Urantia Book, and if so, this episode will no doubt serve to refresh and inspire. "Angels do not invade the sanctity of the human mind; they do not manipulate the will of mortals... The guardian of destiny influences you in every possible manner consistent with the dignity of your personality; under no circumstances do these angels interfere with the free action of the human will. Neither angels nor any other order of universe personality have power or authority to curtail or abridge the prerogatives of human choosing." "For seraphim, the surest way of achieving the Paradise Deities is by successfully guiding a soul of evolutionary origin to the portals of Paradise. Therefore is the assignment of guardian of destiny the most highly prized seraphic duty." Have you had an encounter with an angel?  Do you have some wisdom or insight to share concerning your faith in angelic help? If so, we'd like to hear about it. Give us a call at 646-716-8158 and let's talk. Please join us as we explore the ministry of Guardian Angels, our unseen, tireless and faithful servants.

This week we'll be looking at sustainability with H. Joseph Menton. Joseph grew up on a farm in the Midwest and has been working in diverse arenas of health, as well as coaching organic business innovators in one of the "seats of organic culture" in the Western US. He is an expert in this field and a management consultant. Sustainability is an area of lifelong interest, research and passion for Joseph. He is also a long term student of The Urantia Book. Today, the term “sustainability” is an oft-used buzzword across a wide spectrum of human industry and endeavor as both a measuring stick of current practices as well as a motivating influence in both design and engineering. It has been said that healthy ecosystems and environments are necessary to the survival of humans and other organisms. In ecology, sustainability refers to how biological systems remain diverse and productive. In more general terms, sustainability is the endurance of systems and processes. 80 years ago The Urantia Book stated this: And now is industry supplementing agriculture, with consequently increased urbanization and multiplication of nonagricultural groups of citizenship classes. But an industrial era cannot hope to survive if its leaders fail to recognize that even the highest social developments must ever rest upon a sound agricultural basis. (68:5.13) Please join us as we examine the definitions of sustainability and see how a purported revelation of truth, like the Urantia Book, may comment, cross-reference or enhance those definitions, perhaps providing valuable insight into discovering novel directions of inquiry.

An Investigation into The New Testament Bible From 3 perspectives * The Biblical Worldview * The Academic/Scholastic * The Urantia Book In Jesus of Nazareth God used both physical and spiritual means to bring revelation to us in the form of a person. In The Urantia Book he used high spirit personalities to bring revelation in the form of a book. God could use an infinite number of channels and manifestations to bring revelation to his mortal children. It is God's wisdom that determines the time, place, method, and form of revelation. www.godsgumshoe.org On facebook:  Godss Gumshoe Twitter: @godsgumshoe ****   You may also like these other programs by God's Gumshoe:**** "SPIRITQUEST" is also on blogtalkradio at this address.: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/godsgumshoe/2013/04/27/spiritquest--gods-gumshoe-investigates-another-dimension And  GG's YouTube Channel is here:  http://www.youtube.com/user/godsgumshoe?feature=mhee A FULL Archive of this NT Bible series at: http://www.urantiabook.org/audio/gods-gumshoe/gg-index.html
