Our earthly experience and what our parents did not teach us.

Chapter 1: Our history on our earth

The main problem when you talk about history you have to talk about religion for without religion within history you will not have much history. For many wars, fights, fall of kingdoms, killings, are all related to religion in one form or another.

So to tell the story about the many things that went on throughout history we have to include all of the many religions that in some cases caused history to be written.

Even some whole cities were wiped out because of their religious beliefs. Even churches were started because of the teachings of religious teachers.

I am just saying without some of the great teachers and religious teachers within history there would be no history to tell.

What story would be told if all there was is this story that ever happened.

I got up and went out and feed the livestock, planted crops and harvested them and took them to market and then started all over again next spring.

Whole story, no religion, no wars, no fighting, nothing ever happened because of religion for if there was never a religion then what was there to fight over. OH I know the cow that got loose and someone found it and keep it. Then when you did find the cow, they would not give it back because they said they found it wandering on their land so it is there’s now. So what do you do? Start a war?

But this is not the case we have many different religions, beliefs, creeds, and even some people that the whole kingdom worshiped.

So when we talk about history we have to include all the history of all the religions within this world.

For most of you or even just some of you have ethics but no GOD that you worship. But no matter what we all have faith but that faith does not have to pertain to a deity like a creator. For we must have faith that when we sit down in the chair the chair will hold us. If we thought that the chair would not hold us we would not sit down.

So we all have faith about something even though sometimes we do not think about it and just do it. When we get in the car we know that the seat will hold us and if we put the key in the car will start and so on and on.

Now one thing that I want to explain is this:

For something to be created within perfection there has to be a creator, or a deity to put together anything with perfection so it will work as designed. If you have a watch you have to have a creator to create the watch.

If you have flowers you have to have a creator to create the seed with perfection so the seed will grow into a flower or whatever was created for it to become.

A deity is a being that has a personality and can create with perfection and has the ability to live someplace where there is no time as we know it. That GOD has Omnipotence means God is all-powerful. This means God has supreme power and has no limitations.

Omnipotence, Omniscience, and Omnipresence

Omnipotence means all-powerful. Monotheistic theologians regard God as having supreme power. This means God can do what he wants. It means he is not subject to physical limitations like man is. Being omnipotent, God has power over wind, water, gravity, physics, etc. God's power is infinite, and or limitless.

Omniscience means all-knowing. God is all all-knowing in the sense that he is aware of the past, present, and future. Nothing takes him by surprise. His knowledge is total. He knows all that there is to know and all that can be known.

Omnipresence means all-present. This term means that God is capable of being everywhere at the same time. It means his divine presence encompasses the whole of the universe. There is no location where he does not inhabit. This should not be confused with pantheism, which suggests that God is synonymous with the universe itself; instead, omnipresence indicates that God is distinct from the universe, but inhabits the entirety of it. He is everywhere at once.

So this means we live within GOD himself. With this in mind because we live within him he can watch over us and take care of us. Then once saved GOD can live within us.

The planet we live on GOD calls Urantia and means our heavenly place in space.

For we are human, and our bodies will die over time and we call it our soul but GOD calls it a personality. For what sets apart from all the other animals here on earth is our personality that includes speech, creativity, consciousness, spiritual awareness, ethics, morels, and other things that makes up our personality.

As we go throughout our lives, we learn many things from our parents, school, other people, our job, driving a car, taking care of a home, yard, our children. We learn 80% of everything we know from our parents that is if our parents taught us what we needed to know as we grew up.

But first: how we are, who we are, where we are and why.

Chapter 2: Our Tribal Attributes

This one thought I want you to think about that is not really thought of much when you talk about the many tribes of people out there.

Everyone has tribal physical attributes, like the color of our skin, our eye shape, our hair color, our eye color and even the way you speak and even the way you think and what you look like are all your tribal attributes.

We are born with a blank slate and what we learn from birth is from our parents. Where we live, what our parents have taught us, what we have learned in school. Even our religion if there is one, we have learned from our parents and others around us.

As time goes by we grow up and then we have many choices to make. Like the next thing is do you marry within your own tribe or do you seek a mate outside of your tribe. That is what should be thought of when you decide on who you want to marry and settle down and have children with. What culture will you raise your children in and even what religion will your children be raised in. There are many things that you will have to talk about and think about when you start dating.

NO matter what tribe you come from everyone should think of what religion the children are to be brought up in.

This is just one of the many things that is fought over is how to raise their children in what religion, what school and even where to live to raise your children in. All of this should be thought over before you start dating and who you want to be and what your children will be when you do find someone. So when you do get old you can look back and say I would have done everything all over again instead of if I could have done it all over again I would have done things different. Now is the time to change things that you can change. So live your life the way you want to and do not let everyone else try to tell you want you want and what is right for you. It is time to make your own choices in life for your life is your life.

The reason there is male, and female is:

For the DNA to be mixed there must be the male and female separate for if they were one and had children after a while the DNA would not be strong enough for the beings to survive for a very long time.

The strain would die off. So, God in all his wisdom separated them into male and female so there would be more of a broad DNA exchange. For now, with male and female there can be many tribes and they can mate and make the DNA stronger with outside DNA from all the different tribes.

Our culture within us

Our temperaments, dispositions, and personalities, regardless of genetic propensities, are developed within sets of meanings and values that we call "culture." Studies of infant and early childhood learning and behavior attest to the reality of our cultures in forming who we are.

Moreover, people of all physical variations have learned different cultural behaviors and continue to do so as modern transportation moves millions of immigrants (and or tribal members) around the world.

How people have been accepted and treated within the context of a given society or culture has a direct impact on how they perform in that society. The word "racial" within the worldview was invented to assign some groups to perpetual low status, while others were permitted access to privilege, power, and wealth. The tragedy in the United States has been that the policies and practices stemming from this worldview succeeded all too well in constructing unequal populations among Europeans, Native Americans, and all the other tribal members of all the nations.

Given what we know about the capacity of normal humans to achieve and function within any culture, we conclude that present-day inequalities between so-called "racial" groups are not consequences of their biological inheritance but products of historical and contemporary social, economic, educational, and political circumstances within each culture.

Chapter 3: Within our free will we can choose

Within the confines of our existence we live within the realm of god himself. So because GOD gives us freewill to choose within those confines we can make our own choices within our own lives. So some of the choices we make are made within the confines of our knowledge that we live in the confines of this earth that we live in. God gives us choices within the confines of the earth we live on and because there is confines within our life therefor the daily choices we make determines our own future and or future of others that is around us..

We are time will creatures and over time we will age and die and once death comes if we have listened to God our creator and got saved we then will have everlasting life. Some say because we have to make choices within our lives that our free will is taken away from us.

That is not the case we have chosen within our free will within the confines of our time line we have changed the way we live and even what we eat and where we live.

If we had followed god’s ways then within that time line we would have made the right choices and would have not been confined by the choices we had made before. Once we get saved our future, outlook on life, our fortune, even our relationships will change.

God loves us and wants the best for us and once saved we will want to follow his ways. Then within our world we will be rewarded for our faithfulness but if not many things that would have been given to us is not given to us because of our earthly choices and not spiritual choices.

Once we get saved we will want to follow GODs ways and we will sin less and less. Sin means that we rebel against GOD and what he teaches. Once saved over time we will sin less and less. For we will want to do his work for our meaning of life has changed once saved, That means our fortune, our job, even our outlook on life. We start to treat others better and just about everything within our life will change.

Chapter 4: Unmarried man

This stage of life is when we make a choice to find someone and become friends and as time goes by get married and even have children. But there is always many choices to make even if you want to have children and or even get married. Things happen over time and we seem to make a choice that later on we say if I had done this then things would have been better for me now. We have to sit and think before we make any choice in life. We have to think of the future of what we do today will a lot of times seem to determine our future and stop and think about our choices that we make from day today.

The best thing you could do as a woman for your children is to get marred so you will have his last name and the children will have their father’s last name. Then over time the children will have a sense of belonging because they all have their father’s last name. The woman is the most important person within any relationship because she is the one that takes care of the home, the children, and everything that has to do with the home.

The problem now days are that within our families the children are not well trained from their parents. For our parents did not get trained from their parents and they did not get trained from their parents. So in turn how can our mom and dad teach us about what life is all about and get the training we need to train our children about life.

Within every family there is needed one woman and one man so they can teach their children about life and what men do and what woman do from day today. When the children turn 5 the boy gets trained by his dad but until that time it is his mom that trains him all the things he will need to know, like how to wright, spell, speak, count, and take care of the house and all the other things that he will need to know before he starts learning under his dad.

Once a boy turns five he starts to learn things from his dad and his dad has to take him and show him what he does and even what life is all about and how to treat others. What he does for work and how he makes money. To guide the children and get them to understand that to do what is needed daily and then you will have something in life that you can call your own. Then help your mom and then once married help your wife when the time comes around the home. Help with the dishes, and other things she will want you to do.

The more you do with your spouse and help out the more you will stay friends like later on in life if you do a lot of things with your wife you will stay friends with her and you will be together all your lives.

For a boy to become a man he as to come to realize that no matter what you do in life instead of planning things for the family make plans with the family.

Chapter 5: Unmarred Female

Woman have to really decide when the time comes to get married first and then have children or have children out of wedlock. The best thing you could do for your children is to get marred so you will have his last name and the children will have their father’s last name. Then over time the children will have a sense of belonging because they all have their father’s last name.

The woman is the most important person within any relationship because she is the one that takes care of the home, the children, and even the spouse and everything that has to do with the home.

The problem now days are that within our families is not well trained from their parents. For our parents did not get trained from their parents and they did not get trained from their parents. So in turn how can our mom and dad teach us about what life is all about and get the training we need to train our children about life. Within every family there is need for one woman and one man so they can teach their children about life and what men do and what woman do from day today. When the children turn 5 the boy gets trained by his dad but until that time it is his mom that trainings him all the things he will need to know, like how to wright, spell, speak, count, and even how to keep the house clean, do dishes, and all the other things that he will need to know before he starts learning under his dad.

This is when the girl child starts to learn from her mom on how to take care of the home, the other children, and even how to cook. So when she gets old enough she can take over the home and provide all the things that all the children will need and even take care of her husband.

She is the most important person within the home. For she is the one that keeps the home a home and the children feed, the husband feed and all the other things that she needs to do from day today.

Once the woman does not know how to take care of the home or just does not want to do the many things that is needed then the home falls apart and then there is divorce because she gave up on the home and even the children. It is very hard for a man to take care of the home, work, and all the other things that needs to be done without her. Then if she is left with the children and he is not there then it comes a time when she is so tired that she just will stop doing the things that needs to be done from day today.

Then the family has fallen apart and then once in a while she will lose the children. All this happened because she just gave up on everything and even sometimes left him and the children behind.

The children learn many things in school but do not learn how to take care of a home, take care of children, cook, clean, and take care of her husband.

She is the one that can keep her husband in line and get him to do the things that are needed from day today once she learns how to do it from her mom. Her mom is the most important person in the life of a girl there is. For she can learn about family and life itself from her mom. But how can she learn from her mom what she needs to know if her mom does not know what to teach her children.

Chapter 6: A Friendship Starts

Stage one: Meet someone and get antiquated and spend a lot of time with each other and become somewhat friends. Then as time goes by when you spend a lot of time together then you start to become really good friends and spend as much time you can with each other. But you really do not know someone unless you live with them. Once you have got to this stage and before you even decide to get married you will want to go to step two. A lot of times we go from step one to step three and get married and then have children and sometimes not even get married and then have children. Get married so the whole family will have the same last name. SO the children will have a since of belonging to the family because they all have the same last name. Stage two is the most important stage there is for this stage is when you learn about each other, doing things together, when you want to have children, what to do within your friendship, then into a relationship and then marriage.

Once you have become friends and been seeing each other for awhile then it is time to really sit and talk about the future. For do not let your body rule over your mind for later on things could get out of hand and be a divorce or even worse get hurt and end up in the hospital. The time is now to talk about everything before you even consider getting married. SO much to talk about. Do not think that you will run them off because you want to talk about what you want out of life because they feel the same way and they will want to know what you want out of life just as they do. Things will come up over time that you both need to sit and talk about. This way when something happens that you have already talked about you both will know what to do.

So now is the time to do things together and learn more about each other.

Chapter 7 Starting a Relationship (dating)

Stage Two: is when you inter a relationship means that you are now dating.

This is the part that most try to avoid because they think it will make it so bad that they will lose their best friend but in turn if you do not do this over time it might happen anyway. But now you have children and many years later how to start over once you are single again. If you had sit down and talked about everything in the first place this would not have happened because you might not have even got married in the first place.

So it is better to talk things over now before you even decide to get married and have children. Then all ways remember one thing do not let your body over rule your mind.

That consists of sitting down and talking about what you want out of life and that means both of you really need and sit down and talk this over. How many children, what you want out of life and even what you want to do when you get old and even where you want to live what job you want, there is a website you can look up the 500 questions or more that should be asked before you even decide on marriage. For if you both do not even get to half of them and cannot agree on even half all you will do later on is fight, fight because you want to be right and have your own way. For if this happens you never talked about it before you got married. Like what religion do you want to raise your children as? Instead of say this is the way it is and then it starts a fight. So if you missed Stage two like just about everyone does because they feel if they talk about what they want the person will leave. But then you realize now that you might have married the wrong one for now you both want something different out of life and now there are children. So you break up and get divorced all because you missed Stage 2. Really talking over everything even which way the Toilet Paper goes. It goes down the back because if you have children or cats they will unroll it if it goes over the front. Hit it and see what I mean. If it is over it goes all over the floor if not it just goes around and around. So make sure you sit and really get to know someone and the only way is to ask questions. Do not be afraid of talking to them it is better to find out now before you get marred if you can get along and want the same things out of life now. And not fight about all the things you did not talk about and then later on ending up getting a divorce

Now if they do not want to talk to you about everything then nothing will work and they will fight about everything for they will want their own way no matter what you want.

This is the stage you go from being acquaintances to become good friends. You see more of each other and do many things together. Best friends do not lie, cheat, steal, and spend more time with others then the best friend you have at home once married.

Stage one: find someone and become friends

Stage two: Talk about the future and all the things that pertain to the things you want and the 500 questions that everyone should talk about. Now with this understanding that you have now between you and you each know what has to be done you enter stage two with now a relationship that will last a life time. Even when something’s that come up you know then to sit and talk about them and what needs to be done to solve the problem.

Now I really have to explain something that no many can comprehend is that sisters and brothers might get curious to see if they could have been the one that there brother or sister married. So sometimes they will see out to find out. Then that is what happens when one of you I call jump the fence and spend time with one of the sisters or brothers that each of you have. So from the start if you talk about this and have things talked about this when it will happen in the future or sooner or later each one of you will know how to deal with family and what they seek. For them I think that they really do not know the full story of what their intentions is they are just curious about the sister or brother in-law to see if they could have been the one that married them. Now once you talk about this all you have to do is tell them that I married the right one and we would have never worked out and most of the time it will solve the problem. If not then what is going on within the family has to bring out so everyone knows what is going on and why. This should put a stop to it. This is why sometimes the many times others have asked you out was not because they wanted to date you they wanted to find out what you are like and how good of a spouse you are and if they seem they are really interested in you they are not it is just something they are curious about why your marriage as lasted so long.

Most of the time they seek out someone that married to find out what they are like and this way then can find someone like you but you are already taken so that means you are just someone with information they need and that is all. So this is why when you leave your spouse they tell you to leave for it was not you but the thought of you and what you represent. Not you personality for they do not seek marriage they seek information only.

So it is just better to talk to them at work but never outside of work for they seek things that you will not understand for you already have someone and they do not.

Many people do things for different reasons but it always comes down to how much you love your spouse, children, and the way of life that you have found within your life time. Some things cannot be replaced but found.

Chapter 8: Marred life

Stage three: getting married and settling down and raise a family. Then the best thing is when something does come up you have already talked about it so you both know where each one of you stand. If something new comes up then sit and talk it over.

I tell my wife everything that goes on with everyone so when someone tells her something she knows the real truth.

Then what ever it is she can take care of it. Just because of one of your sisters or brothers get curious and put a stop to it before anything happened and got too far.

Then the worst part was you even might encounter this within your marriage too. So just do the same thing tell them that it would have never worked out. Problem solved.

The real reason you get marred is so the kids will have their father’s last name and for the spouse will have the last name so as the kids get older they will have the last name of their father and mother. This why they have a sense of belonging to a family with the entire family has the same last name.

When two people get married they go someplace and tell each other vows and sign the paper work and now they are married. Now what it means is you signed a contract to stay, be faithful, to help raise your children, and to love your spouse for the rest of your life until death do you part.

Now for many women they do not realize that they are the ones that keep the family together and it is her responsibility to be the glue that holds everything together. The man’s job it to make the money to provide the many things that the family needs. Then he should also help around the home and you both should have date night three nights a week even if it is to go and eat someplace.

Have mom baby sit for even for two hours so both of you can get away from the home together and do things like when you were dating.

This over time will keep you close and talking to either other about all the things that happen from day to day and then you both will know what is going on within the family and others.

The main one is the woman that makes the home, keeps the home clean, and makes sure the kids get what they need from day to day and for her she is really important to the husband for if she is a good wife to him and makes sure that he gets what he needs he will be a good husband to her. But when you get a woman that will not do what needs to be done she mainly is the one that can destroy the family in a very short time. All of a sudden he has left and she is left to raise the children all on her own.

She is the one that could have been the one to drive him away for if she does not do what has to be done with in the relationship and the family then mainly she is the one that has destroyed the marriage and the relationship between them. Most of the time it was not all her for if the spouse does not help around the home and does things that is not right.

They both have a part within the home to do the things that has to be done from day today but if it is not then chaos sets in and soon they leave and seek another place to live without so much chaos.

What are you going to tell your children that what really happened was that all you did was complain all the time your spouse was home and did not feed him or even wash his cloths? And then you wonder why he left and stopped paying all the bills.

So why should he pay for something he never got to use in the first place. What we seek out of life most of the time knows what we really wanted was different on what we got. So we tend to run when times get tough and most of them we do not go back to the old ways and even the old places we used to go to. Then the worse thing is because of divorce it was both of your faults in the first place for if you never sit and talked about the future and what you want out life and then when things went wrong your point of views was so different and then you started to fight and then divorce.

IT WAS BOTH OF YOUR FAULTS. Even though now she has children they would not have been yours if you had of sorted things out before you got married.

Our choices within our lives really determine where we live, work, children we have, the spouse we married, the car we drive, the house we live in. Even our parents on how they brought us up and even their faith and all the rest that goes along with our upbringing determines our outlook on life and how we treat others.

When we get to our upbringing we have to talk about our tribal attributes within the culture that we was brought up in. Now that is another sermon. Look for the sermon tribal attributes.

Chapter 9: Married life without children

When you get married and start to settle in with each other and the many things that both of you do that sometimes you do that your spouse does not really like to see you do.

Like whatever goes on in the bathroom for all of us pretty much do the same things in the bathroom. But this really does not mean you have to advertise that perspective of your life with anyone but yourself.

This is the time to enjoy each other’s company and do things together as much as you can. This is the time to setup a routine so when you do have children the routine will still be in place and just stick with it. So if you setup your routine with children in mind later on it will work out just fine.

The main thing is no matter what setup Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday to have date night even if it just to go out someplace and eat and just talk. It has to be away from the home for just about everything that goes on there has to pertain to keeping the house clean and feeding everyone.

There are just somethings you cannot talk about within the home when later on you will have children that will listen in.

For now is the time to enjoy each other and spend as much time together for later on once you have children there will be little time to spend with each other out side of date night.

I say this for this is the time that most couples will grow apart and seem like friends but not married. So it is very important to have date night no matter what. Get a baby sitter and just go out only with each other. To spend some time just the both of you. Sit and talk and even get something to eat and just spend time together. Sometimes one of your parents can watch the children on date night and even pay them to do it. It would be good for them to see their grandchildren and then also help you out so you can go out.

Now remember one thing no matter what your spouse is your best friend and you do not lie, cheat, steal, or anything to do against your best friend.

For when you get old your money will be gone, your children will move out, and even your hair will fall out.

The only thing you will have left is your best friend that helped and stayed with you no matter what had happened throughout your lives together.

Now if you can look back and say I would have done it all over again then you had a good life. Now if you cannot say that then it is time for a change. So when you do look back you can say that you would have done it all over again. MJR

Our job when we get out on our own. Your boss hires you to do a job and that is what you have to do and do the job the best way you can for that is what they pay you for. For some day your job might be done by a robot and then you will not even have a job.

Making a cake: Our job is to get them saved not to judge them for how they live, even what they do for work, where they live. Our job is not to judge them for what they do with their earthly body. Our job is spiritual and to get them saved and let God do his job to change them from within.

We have to learn: to separate earthly things from spiritual things.

Before the time of Jesus the fragment of God we call the Holy Spirit would talk to us in that still small voice we call our inner voice.

After Jesus we now have what God calls the spirit of truth we still call the Holy Spirit. The difference is now God can live within us once we have asked God to come into our soul and dwell there.

So this means that for God to take care of us we have to live within him this is why we cannot find him for we live within him. And now once saved God will live within us.

Chapter 10: Married life with Children

So it is very important to have date night no matter what. Get a baby sitter and just go out only with each other. To spend some time just the both of you. Sit and talk and even get something to eat and just spend time together. Sometimes one of your parents can watch the children on date night and even pay them to do it. It would be good for them to see their grandchildren and then also help you out so you can go out. Right now is when you will find out how much the phone means to them when things come up will they turn their phone off or will they just turn the sound down when you really need to talk about the many things that needs to be talk about. So what is more important than your spouse? When things needs to be talked about? Right now you will find out.

Take time and sit at that kitchen table, or some place you can both sit and shut the phones off and just sit and talk. You know unless you are a doctor or someone that really needs the phone on. This is time for just you two. Time to sit and talk about all the things that has been going on from day today and talk about the kids and your moms and dads to see how they are doing. The tv, phone, and all the other things that have to be done or want to watch can wait. For your best friend needs this time to just talk and catch up with all the things that is going on with family, friends, and moms and dads. I say this more than once for the more time you spend with each other just talking and doing things together the longer you will stay friends and do things together.

For sometimes when the family had children the parents seem to have so much to do that they forget each other’s needs and wants. So no matter what take care of each other first within the home and then the children for one day the children will move out and your best friend will still be there when you get old. Like I said before your looks will be gone, your money, and children will all be gone but you will still have each other if you took the time to have date night to spend the time with just each other. So many things to talk about and catch up on.

Once in a while just go up and hug each other just to do it and say you are my best friend and I love you. Just for the sake of doing it.

What children need to know

Learning: basics of your religion, mathematics, science, social studies, music, crafts, physical education, and home economics (to learn simple cooking and sewing skills). From your parents before you start school? Even then teach things that they will not learn in school like how to deal with life itself.

All morality consists of relationships between persons; that its three concerns are therefore, self, others and the relationship between them; and that the heart of morality is therefore respect for persons. [The child’s concept of a person] does not have to be learned as such, [but] it does have to be built up by moral education in terms of knowledge, habits and attitudes.

Because the three core values of sustainability are universal to all people of all cultures, ethnic groups, religions, and racial composition, the synergism of the three core values and the Schematic for Sustainability can empower local teams anywhere in the world to design social institutions according to their particular culture. No central authority or control or overarching organization is needed to begin this process. Co-Creative Design Teams in any community can begin the spontaneous global development of locally designed sustainable social institutions. Sharing results between Teams, globally, will empower constructive change of older systems of social institutions and policies in all cultures and nations.

Developing designs of sustainability forms an ideal that requires progressive stages of designing and planning the programs that lead to sustainability. Once the plans are formed, then another team, the Co-Creative Working Team, must devise developmental steps for implementing those plans in a progression that leads to greater and greater sustainability, and social stability.

Caveat — History demonstrates that it takes many decades, even centuries, to build a civilization, but only years or decades to decline and then collapse. Building a sustainable global civilization will require conscious and deliberate intention and may take decades to begin, and centuries and millennia to complete — that and a precious awareness that social change will be a constant annoyance until then.

Chapter 11: Basic Information

Things we need to know that our parents did not teach us.

There are many things in life that our parents did not teach them because their parents did not know what to teach their children and so on.

Our parents should have taught us about life outside of our parents’ home really is and how to deal with life on our own.

School will never teach you about what life is really like. For what you learn in school is just basic things that you will need to know about history, math, English, and science. That is all school really is just to teach you the basics of education.

What you need in real life and when you get out on your own your parents are the ones that has to teach you about real life outside the home. If they do not do this then as time goes by and even when you get out on your own there is a real shocker. No place to live, no food, and how to do I provided the many things that is needed from day to day. Then you look for a job and as time goes by you cause problems within your job and get fired because you was never taught about how to get a job and even how to keep a job.

Everything within life you have to learn. We are all born with a blank slate and have to learn everything. God did that so no matter where we are born we can adjust to where we live. The way we look all depends on where we are born.

You cannot teach something that you did not learn when you were growing up. I know my mom and dad did not teach us anything we had to learn everything on our own. About life, marriage, friendships, relationships, housekeeping, cooking, money, jobs, religion and all the other things that our parents should have taught us as we were growing up but never did for you have to be taught to what to teach your children.

If you were not taught then how would you learn those things?

The most important learning years of all the children are from the age of 3 to 8 years old. They have learned 80% of everything they will learn within those years. So it is the job of all the parents to teach their children about the many things that goes on within the school, the home and what stays at home and what can be told outside of the home. Then if you let a baby sitter take care of your children the education of the baby sitter is who the children will learn from. For the children will learn from those that take of them. So think really hard before you hire a baby sitter to take care of your kids for any length of time. For do you want the baby sitter to teach them what the sitter knows about life or you to teach them what is right and what is wrong and all the other things the children need to learn from you for you are the only one that can teach them what they really need to know.

Now if you have a school book that you can give the baby sitter to teach the children then that is the way to go if that is the only the way it can be done. Like this book. This would be the one to give the baby sitter to teach from. And even for them to read to learn themselves.

Chapter 12 Age 0-2 What we should teach them at this age.

This is the time of life that once you have your first child you will come to understand what your parents went through with you when you was that young.

You bring home the baby and know nothing on how to take care of your first child unless you learned from your mom on how to do this. If not then you will want to take a class on now to take care of a new born.

If the hospital did not teach you then you will have to call your mom for help that is if you do not already know. For your mom raised you and went through what you are going through now so she is one of the best ones to ask for help even if you think you do not need help you will. What I have learned helps is when the baby sleeps you sleep but never in the same bed. Always put the baby in the crib never in your bed when you sleep. You can roll over and kill the baby. Then you will want to make sure never to over feed the baby. It is better to under feed a little because if you feed them too much they will barf all over you.

You will find out if you have feed the baby too much and then you tell how to feed the baby.

Change the baby about every two hours and feed them some. When you have a new born the baby will sleep a lot. So if you can sleep when the baby sleeps unless you have your mom stay with you some so you can get some sleep. Time will go by and before you know the baby is starting to move around and before you know the baby is walking. Time to lock all the cabinets and put all the cleaners up high. What we used to do is where you keep the pots and pans under the counter clean it out and put the toys there. So when they do get into the cabinet they will find toys instead of all your pots and pans and or cleaners.

This is the time you enjoy them when they are young have mom and dad over on both sides and take lots of pictures. The year will go by so fast and before you know it they will be walking. I really like those years for they never talked back and I know where they were all the time. Then they started talking and all over the house. Now if you own your own home you can cut the doors in-between the rooms and put up a shelf on the bottom part of the door and cut as much of the top of the door as thick as the shelf. Then put the door back on with the lock on the out side of the room the children will be in. you can see in but they cannot get out. We have tried the room dividers but they are low and after a while the kids will just go over them but with the half door you can cut it as high as you want so the kids just not go over it.

That is what one looks like and you can buy them that way too or make your own.

When they get over a year old you can start to show them things like put on their shirt, pants, and if they cannot do it right away just help them like you always do but let them do more of them getting dressed by themselves.

Once they start to talk then someone will say words that you do not want them to say so I started telling them that they were a fuzz ball, crackers and I think that was the best of I like to say. For when I said it I would go and get some. and there are other things so they would not say other words that others have said and learned real easy. Like sponge bob says tartar sauce. You can learn to say other words, like hot dog, ice cream, just say OH ice cream want some?

All of sudden they started to say that when things went wrong. Do not tell them they did wrong change the way they think. Like when you go to the store and the kids starts to cry I want that and when you walk away they start to scream. I always have a toy or something in my pocket to give them because there memory is not very long and soon they will take the toy or whatever you have and forget about what they were crying about. Do not yell at them for it will do nothing change their mind on what they were doing. Give them something to do differently than what they were doing. You can use this at any time anywhere.

You can even train the kids with candy bars too. If they do good they get a candy bar. If they do badly they do not get one. You can use other things too not only candy bars. Then the worst part is sometimes you can even get the grow ups to do things for candy bars too. LOL

The thing is not to tell them they did wrong or yell at them but to change the way they think so they will start to do the right things because they will want the reward that you will give them for doing the right things.

One you change the mind you change their outlook on life. Our job is to guide them to do the right things and then over time they will want to do the right things.

Then keep in mind the kids will do what you do so watch what you do around them for you can even say do as I say and do not do what I do but what I say. All they see is what you do not what you say.

Then remember that the boys and girls think differently once they get over 12 years old. MJR

Chapter 13: Age 3-5 What we should teach them at this age.

Now is this is the age of potty training

The only way you can train any child is get a small potty and put it in the bathroom so every time you go you take the child with you and put them on the pot and you sit on the big pot and go.

Once you are done say see I go in the big one and you can go in the little one because you are not big enough to use the big pot yet but when you get bigger you can use the big potty.

They learn by what you do but most of the time on not what you say but what you do. Soon they will get the idea that you use the potty and do not wet your pants so they will want to do the same thing. Every time they go in the potty give them a candy bar or something they like.

Then do not say anything if they do go in their pants say when you have to go let me know and we can go together ok. No candy bar you this time only when you go in the potty. Yelling gets you nowhere. Then over time they even go in their own without you. They will I went all by myself and that is a good thing. Then give them a candy bar or?

Then pretty much at the same time get them to dress themselves. If you started when they were about 2 then it will not take them long for they can dress themselves. They might have a hard time to tie their shoes so get Velcro instead.

Now even bath time you can get them to wash themselves and then take them out of the tub and let them towel off dry. Then say once you get a little dryer you can get dressed easier so wrap the towel around them and take them to their bedroom to get dressed. This way if someone else needs the bathroom they will not use the bathroom to get dressed in once they get older! Plus it is easier to get dressed in the bedroom anyway.

About when they get 4 you can start to get them to do things around the house. They can do little things like make sure all the toys are taken care of and the dirty clothes are in the hamper. Work with them once in a while to read, write, and math. This should be done at least three times a week. Spelling, and learning to write, and read is one of the things that the children should already have learned at home for it will get them a head start in school. That I why most schools have Kindergarten for the kids to learn to read and right, spell and learn some math before they start first grade. Things their parents should have taught them before they even started school.

So this is the most important time for the children to learn as much as they can before they even go to school and keep learning from their parents about life in general is all about.

So when they do grow up they will know what to do when they get out into the real world and start working to make their own way in life.

Memo:

Now what is important within this age is to find out what age your children can go to school without paying for them to go. Each state has its own rules on when the children have to go to school. Before that age you will have to pay for them to go. Like the state I live in is Indiana. The children do not have to go to school until they are 7 and then it cost nothing for them to go at that age. Now if you want to send them to preschool or anything before the age of 7 you will have to pay for school and even the bus ride back and forth to school.

So you will want to check your start that you live in for what age they can go to school so it will be paid for.

Chapter 14: Age 6-7 What we should teach them at this age.

This is the age to continue their school work, and ad in the many things they will need to learn when they get out on their own. Teach them about house work, yard work, how things work. Then have show and kind of tell.

Where you can setup somethings that they can learn from. Like setup a little store and show them how money works and how they can make money. Within the store they can use money to buy things and then have them go to a job to make money at. Setup a table with things for them to put together like a factory would have. And then pay them and let them go to the store and buy things with the money they made. Even setup a place to pay rent, lights, food, gas for the car, car payment, and other things. To pay for with the money they made. Then get them to realize what has to be paid first and then toys after the main bills are paid for.

How to take care of the home, boys and girls. Just have to show them about what life is really like and even take them to work with you one day to see what you do at work. Set it up with your boss so it will be fine to do this one day.

Then even take them shopping to see what things cost to buy food and then come home and take care of everything. Then make dinner and clean up after.

All this training will stick with them even when they get old for a lot of things that you will show them they will never learn in school. So if they learn it now then later on in life they will remember what you taught them and they will know what to do when the time comes.

Memo:

Now if you want to send them to preschool or anything before the age of 7 you will have to pay for school and even the bus ride back and forth to school.

So you will want to check your start that you live in for what age they can go to school so it will be paid for.

Chapter 15: Age 8-10 What we should teach them at this age

Continue with the things they will need to learn once they get out on their own.

Learn more about money, how to dress, wash their cloths, keep their room clean. Even help them with their homework but do not do it for them help them if you can for some point in time things will get way beyond what we learned in school and they will be pretty much on their own unless you learned that in school.

Help with the house work and even have them cook dinner and clean up afterword’s. If they ask for help then go and help them for at least they are trying to do what you have asked

Later on the school will let them have a tablet or a laptop to do their homework on and it might not log on to the home network for it is only for school but some do and they can search the net to find what they need to know.

Once they start using a tablet no matter what age you can show them that not only you can play games but you can learn many things from others on the net. So if ever need to know something you can look it up on the net.

Even www.youtube.com now you can learn how to do just about everything with video and sometimes that is so good that once you watch the video you can do the job with ease.

There is just so much information out there to learn. One day school as we know it will be replaced by the internet. I think it is getting very close even now. For they have school now for anyone that wants to sign up and do their school work and even sometime interact with the teacher right over the net.

If you have a garden teach them about how to plant and take care of the garden. For maybe one day they will have to grow their own food and with what you taught them they can keep a garden and so they can eat later on in life or just have their own garden when they get out on their own.

Teach them how to take care of animals even if you do not have any. For maybe one day they will want their own cat or dog and or? So if you show them and teach them how to take care of animals then they will know how to do it.

Even take them to a store and show them all the animals they have there and they can learn from what they have seen.

They can learn from videos on the net too and even from www.youtube.com too. There is just so much stuff they can learn now wow.

Just think if we need to know anything we had to go to the library and read about it. Now we can just watch it on our phone.

If you have not the children a tablet now is the time to get them one and help then to understand how it works. That is if they need help with. They might have learned somethings about computers and tablets in school now.

Once a year take them to work with you and let them watch you on what you do for work. Over time they will come to learn that where you go every day is to come here and work to make the money to buy the things that they get and everyone gets because you have a job to make money.

Chapter 16 Age 11-13 What we should teach them at this age

This is the stage that the hormones are starting to rage and from then on the body will change from being a child into a teen ager. The teen years are ruff for either the girls or the boys but more for the girls. When she will start to be a woman and her body will start to change and become for the shape of a woman then a boy. She even will start to see things differently they she did before and start to notice the boys more now. Even become interested in them. The boys will start to notice the girls more now and they both will get to the point they might even start to date a little.

Exploring the friendship with each other and other small things that will happen over time once they get to the point where they think they will be together for ever. And they will see it that way for they with be blind with love and will not see many things that goes on until one day they wake up and say who are you and why did you do that. Then things will change between them.

You still have to have them do the chores around the house and even cook once in a while. Do the dishes, wash cloths and pick up the house and even vac the floors once in a while. No matter if it one of the boys or the girls they both should learn to do the many things that needs to be done around the home.

For one day they might be on their own and all that learn now comes in handy so they can take care of themselves.

When we was growing up we did not have much interaction with our parents for they both worked full time and we did not see them much. Even after when they were home a lot they still would not sit and teach us anything. My dad said if you want to learn anything go back to school. But I said the stuff I need to know I cannot learn in school. He still said go back to school. So I learn things elsewhere and did not ask him again.

What makes good educated kids is good parents that have taught them Well. So get them to understand that what you are teaching them now they will need when they get out on their own. So this way if they want then can learn from you and if they do then you can teach them what they need to know about everyday life.

Chapter 17: Age 14-16 What we should teach them at this age

Most of the time they will start to date and not much will come of it for they have more things that they are more interested in than dating some times.

Computer games, cell phone, or other things that they are interested in other than seeing someone all the time.

Now this is the time for them to have one day a week that they are in charge of the home and do everything that day. Like Saturday all day. They get up and make breakfast, clean up and clean the house, then make lunch, clean up and then make dinner and clean up. Then they will know what it takes when they get out on their own and have children of their own they will know what life is all about.

This is the time when you have them take care of small children in dippers. Let them baby sit and learn about taking care of babies and other children.

This is the time they really need to know if for soon they will want children of their own and really will not know what child care really is until they really have done it. If you can find one of the relatives that have small children have them come over for the day and let the children take care of them and help them out so they will know how to take care of small children.

Let them see how much it takes to take care of small children and see if they will want some anytime soon.

It is kind of eye opener once you have taken care of small children at that age. It is the right age for them to do it too. Really a good time just before they get into the real dating now.

See if they would want the kids to take care of theirs once a week for them so they can go out and do things. They might even take you up on it. And then the kids can really learn on what it takes to take care of small children at any age.

Get them interested in a hobby, you will just have to find something they are interested in and get them something that goes along with it and let them learn all about it. It might be music. Play something and learn it will. So good that they could go out and make a living at it.

So many things to learn at this age. Just have to find what they are interested in. can do this at a younger age but at any time is a good time to start playing music.

Chapter 18: Age 17-20 What we should teach them at this age

These are the years that dating has been become almost a wedding. But if they have been taking care of small children some they will come to realize that do they really want children right now or wait until later when they at least have a job and their own place.

Once they wait until then things seem to be easier for them because they have their own income and own place to raise the children. This should be there last year of school and soon they will be out of school and then looking for a job. For they will want to get out on their own and provide the many things that they will need if they want to start a family. That is if they turned 18 and got married right away. Just hope they have a job and get their own place. I think once they have taken care of small children they might wait for a while to have their own.

Have them still help around the house and teach them more about keeping everything clean like the beds, cloths, and even the floors clean. If something has a spot show them how to get it out.

Spot removing is one thing all the kids need to know.

How to keep the bottom of the pans clean and to use Aluminum Foil inside of the pans to keep them clean. When you are done cooking you can toss the foil and the pan is clean. You can even wrap things in foil and put it in the oven too. Look it up and there are just so many uses for aluminum foil.

Little things like make somethings ahead of time and just warm them up on the foil. Learning to cook is a really good thing for everyone to learn to do. It is cheaper to eat at home then it is to go out and eat all the time. It might be faster, cleaner and easer but it cost 3 to 4 times more than eating at home.

Home cooking is better for you too.

Remember one thing if you do not remember anything else I have said:

Eat one item foods more than many different ingredients within any food. A baked potato is better for you than a loaded one at a dinner. For the one at the dinner you cannot control what they put on it but at home you can control what goes on it.

One item foods would include: apples, oranges, potatoes, bananas, peaches, carrots, beans, any veggies, fruits. Not in a can. All the canned foods they use salt to preserve the contents and other things they put in to make the food last longer in the can. So buy it fresh and cook it fresh and you will not gain weight, or be sick so much for you are getting real food not chopped, smashed and put into a shape of something. With all kinds of stuff that is not good for you.

For there are things that is in our food that our body cannot use so all it does is store it. So that is why we gain weight. We keep putting things down there that the body cannot use so all it does is store it.

Meat is the big one for chicken patty’s, fish sticks, anything with a smashed, crushed and chopped and put into a shape has more stuff in that our bodies just cannot process so our body stores it. Then we wonder why we gained all that weight and look what we ate for dinner over and over again.

French fries, chicken patties, fish sticks, anything with breading. And then why all that fried foods, process foods, and soda we ate and drank and then we look in the mirror and wonder how we got this big.

If we had of stayed home and ate we could have had smashed potatoes, gravy, corn, and even backed fish. All cheaper than what you went out and paid big money for all of that and all it did was make you poor.

I am telling you this now for I hope you have read this far and learn the many things you need to know and to teach your children about the many things they need to know when they get out on their own. About food should have been way back when they were young.

This good to learn at any age about food and or even how to prepare it. MJR

Chapter 19: Age 21-22 What we should teach them at this age

They should read this book for the beginning so they can learn about life once they get out on their own. There are just so many things to learn about friendship, relationships, engagement, and then marriage and then children. That this is the time they should learn all about this.

Now if you have taught them about his as they were growing up then at this point in time they have some what of the knowledge on what is going on.

Now the knowledge of how to get a job and keep a job and what to within that job.

It really is very simple to get a job just go and put an application in and OH how do you fill out an application?

There are many websites that can show you how to make a resume and print it out.

But even though you have one does not mean you will not have to fill out there application when you apply for a job. It will be good to have your resume with you so if there is any dates you need you will have them with you. Then you can add the resume right along with the application.

Now within any job they pay you to do a job and do the job like a robot and do not complain, do the job the best you can, show up on time and leave on the time they say you can go home.

They pay you to do a job, not to complain, cause problems with others. Remember one thing they pay you to do a job and they pay you do that job.

Now if you have problems within your job you go to the boss and ask for help so you can do your job better. That is why the boss is there to help the employees to do the job better and to make the products better and faster.

For some day the job you do might be done by a robot?

Now I want you to think about this one thing.

You can work for money or you can have money work for you.

The concept would be you go to work for a company and get a pay check and make money for the company you are working for. For they make money off you because you make or do something that makes them money. So you work for money and have to pay taxes on that money because you make money. Does not make since does it.

Now to make money work for you: you start a business and hire employees and the do a job for you and you make money off them. Now did you work for that money or did you make money work for you.

For if it is your company you did not work for the money you made money work for you. Your employees worked for you money not you.

When you go and pay your taxes the government say we will give you a tax break because you hired more people this year and only pay have the taxes. You can take that money and use it to make more money.

SO start a company buying and sell products, rentals, provide a service. Like cleaning houses and or businesses. Then make money work for you. So never again work for money always make money work for you.

Find the book rich dad poor dad and read it, it is a good book.

You do not need to go to college to be a millionaire all you need is some money to start a business. So work and put your money in the bank and then get enough to start your own business.

Mainly all you have to do is read the book ok. MJR

Chapter 20: Age 23-30 What we should learn within this age

This is the age where most women and men get married and start a family. Within 10 years they are divorced and start over only to do the same things over and over. Within 3 to 7 years they are single again. Who can we blame for what is going on within the marriage?

If you had of read this book then you will know why there marriage did not work for their foundation was not good to start with.

That means there friendship was not that good to start with so over time even though they have love for each other there is no friendship between them. You love your children but not always friends with them. For you know some day they will grow up and leave home to see out their own spouse and start their own family.

If they had good parents that taught them well they would have found the right one and settled down and started a family and they would still be together today. What is important is your foundation within your marriage, is your friendship before your marriage.

Going from stage one to stage three within two months and really never talked about anything but the bedroom. For when we get old things start to fade, like our looks, money, and then your kids move out. Then who are you living with? Your best friend or someone that just lives there with you. That is if they are still there at this time.

Everyone seems to skip stage 2 the most important time within any friendship is to stop at this level and learn about each other so when the time does come when there are problems you know what to do about what happened because you have already talked about it. If not sit and talk about and agree on what to do about it.

Learn to do things together and learn about all the things that can happen within your life time.

One last thing: if you can look back and say I would have done it all over again then you have had a good time thought out your life time. If not you say you would have done things differently than it is now the time to make changes. MJR

Chapter 21: Age 31-62 What we should learn about within this age.

When you reach this age of 31 and are still married and the children are about ten now they are starting to get a hand full but this is the time to do as much with the children as you can and teach them as much as you can. You can look back and see all the stuff that needs to be done at this age.

The main thing is keep date night no matter what. For this is the only time you will really have the time to spend with each other and just sit and enjoy each other’s company and sit and eat and talk. If you both work full time and one of you are home when the kids are home then it works out fine.

It is very hard to find a baby sitter that will teach your children what you want them to know. You know unless you have this book for the baby sitter to read and teach.

When you are about 40 the kids are about 20 now and out of school and then will find a job and then find someone and they will be out on their own. But it also depends on how many children you have. Most of the time before you hit 62 all the kids by then have moved out.

At this age you have lost all your money, your hair, your looks, and the only thing you have left is your best friend if you have not lost that along the way.

You just home soon maybe you will have grand children to do things with for the parents will be so busy making money to provide all the things that is needed that sometimes they will not have time for their children. So if you have the time you can help with the grandchildren and teach them what they need to know like you taught your children for what they needed to know. So they can teach their children.

This is the time that most families have aging parents that need to be taken care of so you sell their home and have them stay with you now that all the children have moved out you have plenty of room. The best part now is when the grand children come over they can see their grandparents and there great grandparents all at the same time.

Now is the time to take care of your parents like they took care of you all those years. When it really gets to the point where you cannot take care of them. Talk to the doctor and have them send a nurse to help out and or housekeeping can show up twice a week to clean house and do things for them. Like help them take a bath or other things you just cannot do any longer.

The doc and get beds, walkers, and other things that you will need. All you have to do is ask. Even bed sheets, pads, whatever you will need to help take care of your mom and dad.

We have to learn: to separate earthly things from spiritual things.

Before the time of Jesus the fragment of God we call the Holy Spirit would talk to us in that still small voice we call our inner voice.

After Jesus we now have what God calls the spirit of truth we still call the Holy Spirit. The difference is now God can live within us once we have asked God to come into our soul and dwell there.

So this means that for God to take care of us we have to live within him this is why we cannot find him for we live within him. And now once saved God will live within us.

Chapter 22 Age 63- What we should learn about within this age.

This the time within your life that most of the time all the children have moved out and mom and dad have moved in. it would be kind of interesting if both parents moved in. your mom and dad and his mom and dad all at the same time. You will have to charge them rent and make them pay it. If not they would have to be someplace and pay rent anyways.

This way you can afford to provide the many things they will need as time goes by. Like I said before our doc and help you get some of the many things you will need.

Like a hospital bed, walker and even an electric wheel chair. Lift chair, and whatever else you might need. Even like bed pads, and other things. Then a lot of things can be sent to your home too.

Now for the fun part is when the grandchildren come over and all you can see them all at once. You could even have a little party when they come over like pizza, ice cream, not to much soda. You can play games with them and it will help get your mom and dad to interact with the grandchildren. Play music and get up and just dance, dance, dance the day away.

You could invite all the kids over on Saturday and have a big cook out once a month. Or more if you want. This way everyone can see everyone all at the same time.

This is the time to start a business. It is really easy now to setup one. Go to letgo and sign up and you can take a pic of anything and put a price on it and sell it. Then you can find more stuff around the house to sell. Even go to yard sales and find stuff and put on and sell it for more than what you paid for it. Make money work for do not work for money at this age.

I do this once in while I put stuff on there to sell and it does not take long sometimes to sell it. Big stuff and small stuff for they will come right to your home and get it. Or you can meet them some place and sell it to them.

Little stuff you can do that but the bigger stuff like dressers, beds, and other big things they have to come to your house to pick up.

Find a mall that you can walk around in to keep in shape. Take mom and dad with you can have them walk too, no matter how slow as long as they walk. Even if they have to use there walkers. If they get tired they can sit on the walkers. Get the ones with the seat and wheels. At least three times a week. Even go sightseeing in the stores too.

If they do have extra money they can get something. Some malls have a place to eat lunch. You can make afternoon of it and go for lunch and walk around after wards. You can use the mall year round for it cool in the summer and heated in the winter. It is the best place to go and just walk around and sightsee and sit and have dinner.

Have your parents do things around house do not do everything for them. They need to get up and do things for if they do not soon they will not be able too.

So it will really help if you go to the mall three times a week. So they can get out of the house and walk around. It will be good for all of you.

Remember little things matter now. Like a special desert, big cake, pie. Anything that is not normal is good for them now. Even for you surprise is good. What is inside of us comes out our mouth. So every time we say something everyone knows what is inside. It is bad or good what we say. Next time Liston to what you say.

Chapter 23: Things We Should Know

"I would rather live my life as if there is a God, and die to find out there isn't, Than to live my life as if there isn't, and die to find out there is."

“Practice what you preach so your Pastor doesn’t have to stretch the truth at your funeral!”

If your religion does not change you change your religion.

Once we understand that we live within the confines of God himself we then realize once saved God can now live within us.

SALVATION PRAYER

To anyone that reads this page, these prayers are the secret prayers to God for salivation from Satan's world and Hell. Satan wants these prayers never to be heard of or seen. So don't tell Satan we put the secret prayers here.

To become Saved. Read below.

Prayer of Salivation

SAY THIS OUT LOUD.

God, I believe with all my heart and confess with my mouth that God is real, and I make Jesus lord of my life right now, and I repent of all disobedience and turn from it. God I have been disobedient against your teachings that you taught so many years ago. I open the door of my heart and let you in. Jesus you are lord of my life and I will only serve you. I have been disobedient and perverted that which you taught and it profited me not. Lord I give myself completely to you. I need your power to live for you. Fill me with over flowing with your Holy Spirit. I receive your fullness right now. I will be and I will do what you want me to do from here on. My will is now is that your will be done. In the name of the creator father, your son Jesus and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Religion in Law

I had no idea how critical religion is in the functioning of democracy. The reason why democracy works it's not just the government on earth to oversee what everybody does. The reason democracy works is because everyone volunteers to choose to follow the laws.

Our whole society is built on religion because most Americans attended church and learned what was taught by someone they respected.

Everyone starting to follow the laws because they found out that they were not accountable to mankind but to God for their actions.

Where are the institutions that are going to teach the next generation where to choose to obey the law is because you take away religion you can't hire enough police?

Chapter 24: Things we did not know

I believe that when we are born we are given a personality so no matter who we are born to no matter where we are born we are given the personality that God wants us to have. For everyone is special within our own life time. Our tribal attributes comes from where we live and who are our parents.

Our culture is learned by our parents. Our outlook on life comes from our parents. There are many things happening by chance and some things do not. We are given free will to choose, for every choice we make throughout our life time does not mean everything leads us to have predestination for our future. With all the choices we made day by day over time our future will change if we change the way we think, the things we do from day today. Like move to a different town and get a job and if not married get married and have children. And then even move to a different town. You make your own future. We live in two worlds, we live here on earth and we are spiritual beings having an earthly experience. We have to try to separate earthly things with spiritual things. For we live within GOD himself that is why he can take care of us and once saved GOD will live within us.

Let us pray: Father of all living we come to you today to ask that you guide everyone here that they will come to know you better. We thank those that have prepared the food and we give thinks for everyone here. Let us have a safe journey home and everyone said: Amen

Chapter 25: Your Mind Set

Going to church does not mean you are saved. Standing in a garage does not make you a car. Standing in the middle of a church does not make you a member. Going into a store does not mean you work there. Having money in your pocket does not mean you have a job. The word sin means to be disobedient against GOD. You also have to understand that we have to separate earthly things from spiritual things. Everything we do here on earth that most call sin most do not get caught doing wrong against the state, or government, or other people but it does not make them sinless. IF we do something wrong here on earth we will pay for with our body and our money. If we do something wrong against GOD he says next time do this instead of what you did. God will guide you when you do something wrong. He will not yell at you or do something against you that will go against your free will of choice. He will just give you more choices next time to choose from. Here on earth if we do something wrong we will pay for it no matter why we did it we pay for what we have done wrong. GOD just looks at why we did it and then give us more choices to choose from next time. Everyone’s path is different as we all go throughout our lives. When you change your mind you change your religion, your future, and sometimes even friends and family that you see a lot. You even change your future from all the new things that you will do. So when change of mind happens, change of doing things will not only change your future but your whole outlook on life.

Chapter 26: Your Candle

The table is full of candles with names on them. For we do not know what the names say for within our life time we will light the candles around the big white tall candle within the middle of the table. Unless we can find the right way to light the big candle all we will light is the small ones around the big candle.

OH there is one lit and let us go and see what is on that candle? It says drugs and a little while later the candle went out. OH there is a another one that just lit and this one says drunk. A little while later that candle has gone out. But all this time the big candle in the middle of the table has not even had a little spark all this time. Over time the candles light one by one and then go out.

How can we light the big candle in the middle of the table does anyone know?

(Look out and see if anyone knows how to light the big candle in the middle of the table.) If they do or not say this:

Now for the big Candle in the middle of the table. Once this candle is lit then and only then we will have eternal life.

For the big Candle in the middle of the table is the most important one that will determine if we will live on when we die when we get to heaven. Remember when Jesus said there shall be two time you will die, one here on earth and the final one when we get to heaven if we do not except that God is real and follow him we shall cease to exist.

There is no what we call HELL anywhere. It is an earthy term for a never ending burning dump. It was so hot and the interpretation becomes the word HELL. There is so much Jewish tradition within the bible that for some of us we do not know what Jewish tradition is so we over look what is said and it means something different to us than what was really said. For in Jesus’s time the only way he could teach them is through there Jewish background and their tradition.

Now for the hard part for you to come to understand what Jesus was really trying to teach them?

For he tried to teach them about the trinity, sin, disobedience, everyone is equal and that means for woman and men are equal within all the earth. That woman are the most important person within any marriage. For if she does not do her job and do it will the family will fall apart and the children will not get what they need as they get older. The woman has to be the guide within the family to make sure the children and the husband do what needs to be done. The woman can make a family or complete destroy the family and even divorce if she does not take care of the family the way it needs to be taken care of.

How can you teach if you have not learned what to teach?

Like the old pastor said for we know so little about what is really out there and we ask a question but most of the time we cannot answer your question without giving you all the back ground that will lead up to the right answer for the question that you have asked.

Ok Now what will it take to light the big white candle on the big table and keep it lit? The word is Salvation….. Salvation means to be saved from something. For God does not see us a sinner but as disobedient children and from cause of our disobedience is called sin. No matter what we did if we were not disobedient to GOD we would not sin. So salvation means that we are saved through our repentance from our disobedience to GOD and in return we are forgiven and then the big candle in the middle of the room with light and never goes out. Our Soul has received immortality.

Now for something interesting that I want you to think about. We have to come to the understanding that we have to separate our earthly existence with our spiritual existence.

For what is earthly is from this earth. Here is an example. We can talk about what Jesus did here on earth and where he went, what he did, and even who he healed. That is and was his earthly existence. What he taught about his heavenly father and what he taught was spiritual. What he did here on earth is different than what he taught.

So we have to separate what he did with what he taught.

Now we have to learn that what we do here on earth with our bodies has nothing to do with our spiritual growth. Our bodies require many things to keep us alive and feed, warm, clean cloths, and if we have children to raise them the best way we know how.

For how can we teach our children things we never learned ourselves. So now is the time to us to learn a new way of life within a new understanding of the change we have to make so our children will grow up and change the way we live and even the way we do things. For the only way we can change the way the world is, is through our children.

The way to get to heaven is to say this prayer out loud with me and once you have your candle will be lit for eternity. GOTO next page

Chapter 27: Our culture within us

At the end of the 20th century, we now understand that human cultural behavior is learned, conditioned into infants beginning at birth, and always subject to modification. No human is born with a built-in culture or language. Our temperaments, dispositions, and personalities, regardless of genetic propensities, are developed within sets of meanings and values that we call "culture." Studies of infant and early childhood learning and behavior attest to the reality of our cultures in forming who we are.

It is a basic tenet of anthropological knowledge that all normal human beings have the capacity to learn any cultural behavior. The American experience with immigrants from hundreds of different language and cultural backgrounds who have acquired some version of American culture traits and behavior is the clearest evidence of this fact. Moreover, people of all physical variations have learned different cultural behaviors and continue to do so as modern transportation moves millions of immigrants (and or tribal members) around the world.

The tragedy in the United States has been that the policies and practices stemming from this worldview succeeded all too well in constructing unequal populations among Europeans, Native Americans, and all the other tribal members of all the nations.

"I would rather live my life as if there is a God, and die to find out there isn't, Than to live my life as if there isn't, and die to find out there is."

“Practice what you preach so your Pastor doesn’t have to stretch the truth at your funeral!”

If your religion does not change you change your religion.

Once we understand that we live within the confines of God himself we then realize once saved God can now live within us.

Salvation

The Certainty of Salvation

Jesus lived and died for a whole universe, not just for the races of this one world. While the mortals of the realms had salvation even before Jesus lived and died on Urantia, it is nevertheless a fact that his bestowal on this world greatly illuminated the way of salvation; his death did much to make forever plain the certainty of mortal survival after death in the flesh.

Though it is hardly proper to speak of Jesus as a sacrificer, a ransomer, or a redeemer, it is wholly correct to refer to him as a savior. He forever made the way of salvation (survival) more clear and certain; he did better and more surely show the way of salvation for all the mortals of all the worlds of the universe of Nebadon. ~ The Urantia Book, (188:4.6)

This entire idea of the ransom of the atonement places salvation upon a plane of unreality; such a concept is purely philosophic. Human salvation is real; it is based on two realities which may be grasped by the creature's faith and thereby become incorporated into individual human experience: the fact of the fatherhood of God and its correlated truth, the brotherhood of man. It is true, after all, that you are to be "forgiven your debts, even as you forgive your debtors." ~ The Urantia Book, (188:4.13)

The cross forever shows that the attitude of Jesus toward sinners was neither condemnation nor condonation, but rather eternal and loving salvation. Jesus is truly a savior in the sense that his life and death do win men over to goodness and righteous survival. Jesus loves men so much that his love awakens the response of love in the human heart. Love is truly contagious and eternally creative. Jesus' death on the cross exemplifies a love which is sufficiently strong and divine to forgive sin and swallow up all evil-doing. Jesus disclosed to this world a higher quality of righteousness than justice — mere technical right and wrong. Divine love does not merely forgive wrongs; it absorbs and actually destroys them. The forgiveness of love utterly transcends the forgiveness of mercy. Mercy sets the guilt of evil-doing to one side; but love destroys forever the sin and all weakness resulting therefrom. Jesus brought a new method of living to Urantia. He taught us not to resist evil but to find through him a goodness which effectually destroys evil. The forgiveness of Jesus is not condonation; it is salvation from condemnation. Salvation does not slight wrongs; it makes them right. True love does not compromise nor condone hate; it destroys it. The love of Jesus is never satisfied with mere forgiveness. The Master's love implies rehabilitation, eternal survival. It is altogether proper to speak of salvation as redemption if you mean this eternal rehabilitation. ~ The Urantia Book, (188:5.2)

Faith and Salvation

The salvation of God for the mortals of Urantia would have been just as effective and unerringly certain if Jesus had not been put to death by the cruel hands of ignorant mortals. If the Master had been favorably received by the mortals of earth and had departed from Urantia by the voluntary relinquishment of his life in the flesh, the fact of the love of God and the mercy of the Son — the fact of sonship with God — would have in no wise been affected. You mortals are the sons of God, and only one thing is required to make such a truth factual in your personal experience, and that is your spirit-born faith ~ The Urantia Book, (186:5.9)

Reason, Science and Salvation

Reason, through the study of science, may lead back through nature to a First Cause, but it requires religious faith to transform the First Cause of science into a God of salvation; and revelation is further required for the validation of such a faith, such spiritual insight. ~ The Urantia Book, (101:2.3)

Science ends its reason-search in the hypothesis of a First Cause. Religion does not stop in its flight of faith until it is sure of a God of salvation. The discriminating study of science logically suggests the reality and existence of an Absolute. Religion believes unreservedly in the existence and reality of a God who fosters personality survival. What metaphysics fails utterly in doing, and what even philosophy fails partially in doing, revelation does; that is, affirms that this First Cause of science and religion's God of salvation are one and the same Deity. ~ The Urantia Book, (101:2.7)

Religion and Salvation

Your deepest nature — the divine Adjuster — creates within you a hunger and thirst for righteousness, a certain craving for divine perfection. Religion is the faith act of the recognition of this inner urge to divine attainment; and thus is brought about that soul trust and assurance of which you become conscious as the way of salvation, the technique of the survival of personality and all those values which you have come to look upon as being true and good. ~ The Urantia Book, (101:2.14)

The teachings of Jesus constituted the first Urantian religion which so fully embraced a harmonious co-ordination of knowledge, wisdom, faith, truth, and love as completely and simultaneously to provide temporal tranquillity, intellectual certainty, moral enlightenment, philosophic stability, ethical sensitivity, God-consciousness, and the positive assurance of personal survival. The faith of Jesus pointed the way to finality of human salvation, to the ultimate of mortal universe attainment, since it provided for:

Salvation from material fetters in the personal realization of sonship with God, who is spirit.

Salvation from intellectual bondage: man shall know the truth, and the truth shall set him free.

Salvation from spiritual blindness, the human realization of the fraternity of mortal beings and the morontian awareness of the brotherhood of all universe creatures; the service-discovery of spiritual reality and the ministry-revelation of the goodness of spirit values.

Salvation from incompleteness of self through the attainment of the spirit levels of the universe and through the eventual realization of the harmony of Havona and the perfection of Paradise.

Salvation from self, deliverance from the limitations of self-consciousness through the attainment of the cosmic levels of the Supreme mind and by co-ordination with the attainments of all other self-conscious beings.

Salvation from time, the achievement of an eternal life of unending progression in God-recognition and God-service.

Salvation from the finite, the perfected oneness with Deity in and through the Supreme by which the creature attempts the transcendental discovery of the Ultimate on the postfinaliter levels of the absonite.

Such a sevenfold salvation is the equivalent of the completeness and perfection of the realization of the ultimate experience of the Universal Father. And all this, in potential, is contained within the reality of the faith of the human experience of religion. And it can be so contained since the faith of Jesus was nourished by, and was revelatory of, even realities beyond the ultimate; the faith of Jesus approached the status of a universe absolute in so far as such is possible of manifestation in the evolving cosmos of time and space. ~ The Urantia Book, (101:6.8)

Faith becomes the connection between moral consciousness and the spiritual concept of enduring reality. Religion becomes the avenue of man's escape from the material limitations of the temporal and natural world to the supernal realities of the eternal and spiritual world by and through the technique of salvation, the progressive morontia transformation. ~ The Urantia Book, (101:9.9)

True salvation is the technique of the divine evolution of the mortal mind from matter identification through the realms of morontia liaison to the high universe status of spiritual correlation. ~ The Urantia Book, (103:7.2)

Christianity presented a religion which grappled with final solutions of the human problem, for it not only offered salvation from sorrow and even from death, but it also promised deliverance from sin followed by the endowment of a righteous character of eternal survival qualities. ~ The Urantia Book, (121:5.15)

Revealed truth, personally discovered truth, is the supreme delight of the human soul; it is the joint creation of the material mind and the indwelling spirit. The eternal salvation of this truth-discerning and beauty-loving soul is assured by that hunger and thirst for goodness which leads this mortal to develop a singleness of purpose to do the Father's will, to find God and to become like him. There is never conflict between true knowledge and truth. There may be conflict between knowledge and human beliefs, beliefs colored with prejudice, distorted by fear, and dominated by the dread of facing new facts of material discovery or spiritual progress. ~ The Urantia Book, (132:3.4)

Ancient man only attained consciousness of favor with God through sacrifice. Modern man must develop new techniques of achieving the self- consciousness of salvation. The consciousness of sin persists in the mortal mind, but the thought patterns of salvation therefrom have become outworn and antiquated. The reality of the spiritual need persists, but intellectual progress has destroyed the olden ways of securing peace and consolation for mind and soul. ~ The Urantia Book, (89:10.1)

All Religions Teach Salvation

All religions teach the worship of Deity and some doctrine of human salvation. The Buddhist religion promises salvation from suffering, unending peace; the Jewish religion promises salvation from difficulties, prosperity predicated on righteousness; the Greek religion promised salvation from disharmony, ugliness, by the realization of beauty; Christianity promises salvation from sin, sanctity; Mohammedanism provides deliverance from the rigorous moral standards of Judaism and Christianity. The religion of Jesus is salvation from self, deliverance from the evils of creature isolation in time and in eternity. ~ The Urantia Book, (5:4.5)

The Salem Religion (Melchizedek)

The ceremonies of the Salem worship were very simple. Every person who signed or marked the clay-tablet rolls of the Melchizedek church committed to memory, and subscribed to, the following belief:

I believe in El Elyon, the Most High God, the only Universal Father and Creator of all things.

I accept the Melchizedek covenant with the Most High, which bestows the favor of God on my faith, not on sacrifices and burnt offerings.

I promise to obey the seven commandments of Melchizedek and to tell the good news of this covenant with the Most High to all men.

And that was the whole of the creed of the Salem colony. But even such a short and simple declaration of faith was altogether too much and too advanced for the men of those days. They simply could not grasp the idea of getting divine favor for nothing — by faith. They were too deeply confirmed in the belief that man was born under forfeit to the gods. Too long and too earnestly had they sacrificed and made gifts to the priests to be able to comprehend the good news that salvation, divine favor, was a free gift to all who would believe in the Melchizedek covenant. But Abraham did believe halfheartedly, and even that was "counted for righteousness."

The seven commandments promulgated by Melchizedek were patterned along the lines of the ancient Dalamatian supreme law and very much resembled the seven commands taught in the first and second Edens. These commands of the Salem religion were:

You shall not serve any God but the Most High Creator of heaven and earth.

You shall not doubt that faith is the only requirement for eternal salvation.

You shall not bear false witness.

You shall not kill.

You shall not steal.

You shall not commit adultery.

You shall not show disrespect for your parents and elders. ~ The Urantia Book, (93:4.1)

Salvation and The Melchizedek Teachings

This covenant of Melchizedek with Abraham represents the great Urantian agreement between divinity and humanity whereby God agrees to do everything; man only agrees to believe God's promises and follow his instructions. Heretofore it had been believed that salvation could be secured only by works — sacrifices and offerings; now, Melchizedek again brought to Urantia the good news that salvation, favor with God, is to be had by faith. But this gospel of simple faith in God was too advanced; the Semitic tribesmen subsequently preferred to go back to the older sacrifices and atonement for sin by the shedding of blood. ~ The Urantia Book, (93:6.4)

The Salem missionaries preached the one God of Melchizedek, the Most High of heaven. This portrayal was not altogether disharmonious with the emerging concept of the Father-Brahma as the source of all gods, but the Salem doctrine was nonritualistic and hence ran directly counter to the dogmas, traditions, and teachings of the Brahman priesthood. Never would the Brahman priests accept the Salem teaching of salvation through faith, favor with God apart from ritualistic observances and sacrificial ceremonials.

The rejection of the Melchizedek gospel of trust in God and salvation through faith marked a vital turning point for India. The Salem missionaries had contributed much to the loss of faith in all the ancient Vedic gods, but the leaders, the priests of Vedism, refused to accept the Melchizedek teaching of one God and one simple faith. ~ The Urantia Book, (94:1.5)

Jesus and Salvation

The Master was always generous. He never grew weary of saying, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Said he, "Freely you have received, freely give." And yet, with all of his unbounded generosity, he was never wasteful or extravagant. He taught that you must believe to receive salvation. "For every one who seeks shall receive." ~ The Urantia Book, (100:7.10)

To the earnest leader of the Mithraic cult he said: "You do well to seek for a religion of eternal salvation, but you err to go in quest of such a glorious truth among man-made mysteries and human philosophies. Know you not that the mystery of eternal salvation dwells within your own soul? Do you not know that the God of heaven has sent his spirit to live within you, and that this spirit will lead all truth-loving and God-serving mortals out of this life and through the portals of death up to the eternal heights of light where God waits to receive his children? And never forget: You who know God are the sons of God if you truly yearn to be like him." ~ Jesus, The Urantia Book, (133:4.4)

"The saving or losing of a soul has to do with whether or not the moral consciousness attains survival status through eternal alliance with its associated immortal spirit endowment. Salvation is the spiritualization of the self-realization of the moral consciousness, which thereby becomes possessed of survival value. All forms of soul conflict consist in the lack of harmony between the moral, or spiritual, self- consciousness and the purely intellectual self-consciousness. ~ Jesus, The Urantia Book, (133:6.6)

"This new kingdom is like a seed growing in the good soil of a field. It does not attain full fruit quickly. There is an interval of time between the establishment of the kingdom in the soul of man and that hour when the kingdom ripens into the full fruit of everlasting righteousness and eternal salvation. ~ Jesus, The Urantia Book, (137:8.12)

"Entrance into the Father's kingdom waits not upon marching armies, upon overturned kingdoms of this world, nor upon the breaking of captive yokes. The kingdom of heaven is at hand, and all who enter therein shall find abundant liberty and joyous salvation. ~ Jesus, The Urantia Book, (137:8.15)

When I asked you to become as little children as the price of entering the kingdom, I referred not to ease of deception, mere willingness to believe, nor to quickness to trust pleasing strangers. What I did desire that you should gather from the illustration was the child-father relationship. You are the child, and it is your Father's kingdom you seek to enter. There is present that natural affection between every normal child and its father which insures an understanding and loving relationship, and which forever precludes all disposition to bargain for the Father's love and mercy. And the gospel you are going forth to preach has to do with a salvation growing out of the faith-realization of this very and eternal child-father relationship." ~ Jesus, The Urantia Book, (140:10.4)

John asked Jesus, "Master, what is the kingdom of heaven?" And Jesus answered: "The kingdom of heaven consists in these three essentials: first, recognition of the fact of the sovereignty of God; second, belief in the truth of sonship with God; and third, faith in the effectiveness of the supreme human desire to do the will of God — to be like God. And this is the good news of the gospel: that by faith every mortal may have all these essentials of salvation." ~ Jesus, The Urantia Book, (140:10.9)

Simon, how many times have I instructed you to refrain from all efforts to take something out of the hearts of those who seek salvation? How often have I told you to labor only to put something into these hungry souls? Lead men into the kingdom, and the great and living truths of the kingdom will presently drive out all serious error. When you have presented to mortal man the good news that God is his Father, you can the easier persuade him that he is in reality a son of God. And having done that, you have brought the light of salvation to the one who sits in darkness. ~ Jesus, The Urantia Book, (141:6.2)

Do not strive with men — always be patient. It is not your kingdom; you are only ambassadors. Simply go forth proclaiming: This is the kingdom of heaven — God is your Father and you are his sons, and this good news, if you wholeheartedly believe it, is your eternal salvation." ~ Jesus, The Urantia Book, (141:6.4)

Jesus laid great emphasis upon what he called the two truths of first import in the teachings of the kingdom, and they are: the attainment of salvation by faith, and faith alone, associated with the revolutionary teaching of the attainment of human liberty through the sincere recognition of truth, "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." ~ The Urantia Book, (141:7.6)

"Salvation is by the regeneration of the spirit and not by the self-righteous deeds of the flesh. ~ Jesus, The Urantia Book, (143:2.6)

There is a basic law of justice in the universe which mercy is powerless to circumvent. The unselfish glories of Paradise are not possible of reception by a thoroughly selfish creature of the realms of time and space. Even the infinite love of God cannot force the salvation of eternal survival upon any mortal creature who does not choose to survive. Mercy has great latitude of bestowal, but, after all, there are mandates of justice which even love combined with mercy cannot effectively abrogate. ~ The Urantia Book, (146:2.5)

"When men and women ask what shall we do to be saved, you shall answer, Believe this gospel of the kingdom; accept divine forgiveness. By faith recognize the indwelling spirit of God, whose acceptance makes you a son of God. Have you not read in the Scriptures where it says, `In the Lord have I righteousness and strength.' Also where the Father says, `My righteousness is near; my salvation has gone forth, and my arms shall enfold my people.' `My soul shall be joyful in the love of my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation and has covered me with the robe of his righteousness.'

"Salvation is the gift of the Father and is revealed by his Sons. Acceptance by faith on your part makes you a partaker of the divine nature, a son or a daughter of God. By faith you are justified; by faith are you saved; and by this same faith are you eternally advanced in the way of progressive and divine perfection. By faith was Abraham justified and made aware of salvation by the teachings of Melchizedek. All down through the ages has this same faith saved the sons of men, but now has a Son come forth from the Father to make salvation more real and acceptable." ~ Jesus, The Urantia Book, (150:5.2)

"You cannot buy salvation; you cannot earn righteousness. Salvation is the gift of God, and righteousness is the natural fruit of the spirit-born life of sonship in the kingdom. You are not to be saved because you live a righteous life; rather is it that you live a righteous life because you have already been saved, have recognized sonship as the gift of God and service in the kingdom as the supreme delight of life on earth. When men believe this gospel, which is a revelation of the goodness of God, they will be led to voluntary repentance of all known sin. Realization of sonship is incompatible with the desire to sin. Kingdom believers hunger for righteousness and thirst for divine perfection." ~ Jesus, The Urantia Book, (150:5.5)

Salvation and the Kingdom

Kingdom believers should possess an implicit faith, a whole-souled belief, in the certain triumph of righteousness. Kingdom builders must be undoubting of the truth of the gospel of eternal salvation. Believers must increasingly learn how to step aside from the rush of lif — escape the harassments of material existenc — while they refresh the soul, inspire the mind, and renew the spirit by worshipful communion. ~ The Urantia Book, (156:5.12)

Are your ideals sufficiently high to insure your eternal salvation while your ideas are so practical as to render you a useful citizen to function on earth in association with your mortal fellows? In the spirit, your citizenship is in heaven; in the flesh, you are still citizens of the earth kingdoms. Render to the Caesars the things which are material and to God those which are spiritual. ~ The Urantia Book, (156:5.16)

The God-conscious mortal is certain of salvation; he is unafraid of life; he is honest and consistent. He knows how bravely to endure unavoidable suffering; he is uncomplaining when faced by inescapable hardship. ~ The Urantia Book, (156:5.20)

Salvation and the Narrow Door

"You also have another saying among you, and one that contains much truth: That the way which leads to eternal life is straight and narrow, that the door which leads thereto is likewise narrow so that, of those who seek salvation, few can find entrance through this door. You also have a teaching that the way which leads to destruction is broad, that the entrance thereto is wide, and that there are many who choose to go this way. And this proverb is not without its meaning. But I declare that salvation is first a matter of your personal choosing. Even if the door to the way of life is narrow, it is wide enough to admit all who sincerely seek to enter, for I am that door. And the Son will never refuse entrance to any child of the universe who, by faith, seeks to find the Father through the Son.

"But herein is the danger to all who would postpone their entrance into the kingdom while they continue to pursue the pleasures of immaturity and indulge the satisfactions of selfishness: Having refused to enter the kingdom as a spiritual experience, they may subsequently seek entrance thereto when the glory of the better way becomes revealed in the age to come. And when, therefore, those who spurned the kingdom when I came in the likeness of humanity seek to find an entrance when it is revealed in the likeness of divinity, then will I say to all such selfish ones: I know not whence you are. You had your chance to prepare for this heavenly citizenship, but you refused all such proffers of mercy; you rejected all invitations to come while the door was open. Now, to you who have refused salvation, the door is shut. This door is not open to those who would enter the kingdom for selfish glory. Salvation is not for those who are unwilling to pay the price of wholehearted dedication to doing my Father's will. When in spirit and soul you have turned your backs upon the Father's kingdom, it is useless in mind and body to stand before this door and knock, saying, `Lord, open to us; we would also be great in the kingdom.' Then will I declare that you are not of my fold. I will not receive you to be among those who have fought the good fight of faith and won the reward of unselfish service in the kingdom on earth. And when you say, `Did we not eat and drink with you, and did you not teach in our streets?' then shall I again declare that you are spiritual strangers; that we were not fellow servants in the Father's ministry of mercy on earth; that I do not know you; and then shall the Judge of all the earth say to you: `Depart from us, all you who have taken delight in the works of iniquity.'

"But fear not; every one who sincerely desires to find eternal life by entrance into the kingdom of God shall certainly find such everlasting salvation. But you who refuse this salvation will some day see the prophets of the seed of Abraham sit down with the believers of the gentile nations in this glorified kingdom to partake of the bread of life and to refresh themselves with the water thereof. And they who shall thus take the kingdom in spiritual power and by the persistent assaults of living faith will come from the north and the south and from the east and the west. And, behold, many who are first will be last, and those who are last will many times be first." ~ Jesus, The Urantia Book, (166:3.3)

The Publican and the Pharisee

On the way to Judea Jesus was followed by a company of almost fifty of his friends and enemies. At their noon lunchtime, on Wednesday, he talked to his apostles and this group of followers on the "Terms of Salvation," and at the end of this lesson told the parable of the Pharisee and the publican (a tax collector). Said Jesus: "You see, then, that the Father gives salvation to the children of men, and this salvation is a free gift to all who have the faith to receive sonship in the divine family. There is nothing man can do to earn this salvation. Works of self-righteousness cannot buy the favor of God, and much praying in public will not atone for lack of living faith in the heart. Men you may deceive by your outward service, but God looks into your souls. What I am telling you is well illustrated by two men who went into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself: `O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men, extortioners, unlearned, unjust, adulterers, or even like this publican. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.' But the publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift his eyes to heaven but smote his breast, saying, `God be merciful to me a sinner.' I tell you that the publican went home with God's approval rather than the Pharisee, for every one who exalts himself shall be humbled, but he who humbles himself shall be exalted." ~ Jesus, The Urantia Book, (167:5.1)

Three Parables of Jesus Illustrating The Father's Salvation

On Thursday afternoon Jesus talked to the multitude about the "Grace of Salvation." In the course of this sermon he retold the story of the lost sheep and the lost coin and then added his favorite parable of the prodigal son. Said Jesus:

The Good Shepherd by William Dyce"You have been admonished by the prophets from Samuel to John that you should seek for God — search for truth. Always have they said, `Seek the Lord while he may be found.' And all such teaching should be taken to heart. But I have come to show you that, while you are seeking to find God, God is likewise seeking to find you. Many times have I told you the story of the good shepherd who left the ninety and nine sheep in the fold while he went forth searching for the one that was lost, and how, when he had found the straying sheep, he laid it over his shoulder and tenderly carried it back to the fold. And when the lost sheep had been restored to the fold, you remember that the good shepherd called in his friends and bade them rejoice with him over the finding of the sheep that had been lost. Again I say there is more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over the ninety and nine just persons who need no repentance. The fact that souls are lost only increases the interest of the heavenly Father. I have come to this world to do my Father's bidding, and it has truly been said of the Son of Man that he is a friend of publicans and sinners.

"You have been taught that divine acceptance comes after your repentance and as a result of all your works of sacrifice and penitence, but I assure you that the Father accepts you even before you have repented and sends the Son and his associates to find you and bring you, with rejoicing, back to the fold, the kingdom of sonship and spiritual progress. You are all like sheep which have gone astray, and I have come to seek and to save those who are lost.

"And you should also remember the story of the woman who, having had ten pieces of silver made into a necklace of adornment, lost one piece, and how she lit the lamp and diligently swept the house and kept up the search until she found the lost piece of silver. And as soon as she found the coin that was lost, she called together her friends and neighbors, saying, `Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece that was lost.' So again I say, there is always joy in the presence of the angels of heaven over one sinner who repents and returns to the Father's fold. And I tell you this story to impress upon you that the Father and his Son go forth to search for those who are lost, and in this search we employ all influences capable of rendering assistance in our diligent efforts to find those who are lost, those who stand in need of salvation. And so, while the Son of Man goes out in the wilderness to seek for the sheep gone astray, he also searches for the coin which is lost in the house. The sheep wanders away, unintentionally; the coin is covered by the dust of time and obscured by the accumulation of the things of men.

"And now I would like to tell you the story of a thoughtless son of a well-to-do farmer who deliberately left his father's house and went off into a foreign land, where he fell into much tribulation. You recall that the sheep strayed away without intention, but this youth left his home with premeditation. It was like this:

"A certain man had two sons; one, the younger, was lighthearted and carefree, always seeking for a good time and shirking responsibility, while his older brother was serious, sober, hard-working, and willing to bear responsibility. Now these two brothers did not get along well together; they were always quarreling and bickering. The younger lad was cheerful and vivacious, but indolent and unreliable; the older son was steady and industrious, at the same time self-centered, surly, and conceited. The younger son enjoyed play but shunned work; the older devoted himself to work but seldom played. This association became so disagreeable that the younger son came to his father and said: `Father, give me the third portion of your possessions which would fall to me and allow me to go out into the world to seek my own fortune.' And when the father heard this request, knowing how unhappy the young man was at home and with his older brother, he divided his property, giving the youth his share.

"Within a few weeks the young man gathered together all his funds and set out upon a journey to a far country, and finding nothing profitable to do which was also pleasurable, he soon wasted all his inheritance in riotous living. And when he had spent all, there arose a prolonged famine in that country, and he found himself in want. And so, when he suffered hunger and his distress was great, he found employment with one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into the fields to feed swine. And the young man would fain have filled himself with the husks which the swine ate, but no one would give him anything.

"One day, when he was very hungry, he came to himself and said: `How many hired servants of my father have bread enough and to spare while I perish with hunger, feeding swine off here in a foreign country! I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no more worthy to be called your son; only be willing to make me one of your hired servants.' And when the young man had reached this decision, he arose and started out for his father's house.

"Now this father had grieved much for his son; he had missed the cheerful, though thoughtless, lad. This father loved this son and was always on the lookout for his return, so that on the day he approached his home, even while he was yet afar off, the father saw him and, being moved with loving compassion, ran out to meet him, and with affectionate greeting he embraced and kissed him. And after they had thus met, the son looked up into his father's tearful face and said: `Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight; I am no more worthy to be called a son' — but the lad did not find opportunity to complete his confession because the overjoyed father said to the servants who had by this time come running up: `Bring quickly his best robe, the one I have saved, and put it on him and put the son's ring on his hand and fetch sandals for his feet.'

"And then, after the happy father had led the footsore and weary lad into the house, he called to his servants: `Bring on the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry, for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' And they all gathered about the father to rejoice with him over the restoration of his son.

"About this time, while they were celebrating, the elder son came in from his day's work in the field, and as he drew near the house, he heard the music and the dancing. And when he came up to the back door, he called out one of the servants and inquired as to the meaning of all this festivity. And then said the servant: `Your long-lost brother has come home, and your father has killed the fatted calf to rejoice over his son's safe return. Come in that you also may greet your brother and receive him back into your father's house.'

"But when the older brother heard this, he was so hurt and angry he would not go into the house. When his father heard of his resentment of the welcome of his younger brother, he went out to entreat him. But the older son would not yield to his father's persuasion. He answered his father, saying: `Here these many years have I served you, never transgressing the least of your commands, and yet you never gave me even a kid that I might make merry with my friends. I have remained here to care for you all these years, and you never made rejoicing over my faithful service, but when this your son returns, having squandered your substance with harlots, you make haste to kill the fatted calf and make merry over him.'

"Since this father truly loved both of his sons, he tried to reason with this older one: `But, my son, you have all the while been with me, and all this which I have is yours. You could have had a kid at any time you had made friends to share your merriment. But it is only proper that you should now join with me in being glad and merry because of your brother's return. Think of it, my son, your brother was lost and is found; he has returned alive to us!'"

This was one of the most touching and effective of all the parables which Jesus ever presented to impress upon his hearers the Father's willingness to receive all who seek entrance into the kingdom of heaven.

Jesus was very partial to telling these three stories at the same time. He presented the story of the lost sheep to show that, when men unintentionally stray away from the path of life, the Father is mindful of such lost ones and goes out, with his Sons, the true shepherds of the flock, to seek the lost sheep. He then would recite the story of the coin lost in the house to illustrate how thorough is the divine searching for all who are confused, confounded, or otherwise spiritually blinded by the material cares and accumulations of life. And then he would launch forth into the telling of this parable of the lost son, the reception of the returning prodigal, to show how complete is the restoration of the lost son into his Father's house and heart. ~ The Urantia Book, (169:1.1)

...when Jesus had finished his earth life, this name of the Father had been so revealed that the Master, who was the Father incarnate, could truly say:

I am the bread of life.

I am the light of the world.

I am the desire of all ages.

I am the open door to eternal salvation. ~ Jesus, The Urantia Book, (182:1.10)

SALVATION PRAYERS

To become Saved. Read below.

Prayer of Salivation

SAY THIS OUT LOUD.

God, I believe with all my heart and confess with my mouth that God is real, and I make Jesus lord of my life right now, and I repent of all disobedience and turn from it. God, I have been disobedient against your teachings that you taught so many years ago. I open the door of my heart and let you in. Jesus you are lord of my life and I will only serve you. I have been disobedient and perverted that which you taught, and it profited me not. Lord I give myself completely to you. I need your power to live for you. Fill me with overflowing with your Holy Spirit. I receive your fullness right now. I will be and I will do what you want me to do from here on. My will is now is that your will be done. In the name of the creator father, your son Jesus and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Religion in Law

I had no idea how critical religion is in the functioning of democracy

The reason why democracy works it's not just the government on earth to oversee what everybody does. The reason democracy works is because everyone volunteers to choose to follow the laws.

Our whole society is built on religion because most Americans attended church and learned what was taught by someone they respected.

Everyone starting to follow the laws because they found out that they were not accountable to mankind but to God for their actions

Where are the institutions that are going to teach the next generation where to choose to obey the law is because you take away religion you can't hire enough police?

Tribal attributes

This one thought I want you to think about that is not really thought of much when you talk about the many tribes of people out there.

Everyone has tribal attributes, like the color of your skin, your eye shape, your hair color, your eye color and even the way you speak and even how you think and even your religion is all your tribal attributes. The next thing is do you marry within your own tribe or do you seek a mate outside of your tribe. That is what should be thought of when you decide on who you want to marry and settle down and have children. What culture will you raise your children in and even what religion will your children be raised in. There are many things that you will have to think about when you start dating. NO matter what tribe you come from everyone should think of what their children look like and even the religion they are to be brought up in. This one of the many things that is fought over is how to raise their children in what religion, what school and even where to live to raise your children in. all of this should be thought over before you start dating and who you want to be and what your children will be when you do find someone. So when you do get old you can look back and say I would have done everything all over again instead of if I could have done it all over again I would have done things different. Now is the time to change things that you can change. So live your life the way you want to do not let everyone else try to tell you want you want and what is right for you. It is time to make your own choices in life for your life is your life.

"I would rather live my life as if there is a God, and die to find out there isn't, Than to live my life as if there isn't, and die to find out there is."

“Practice what you preach so your Pastor doesn’t have to stretch the truth at your funeral!”

If your religion does not change you change your religion.

Once we understand that we live within the confines of God himself we then realize once saved God can now live within us.
