God Refined: A Proposal for Peace

(Same as below.) Religions have brought parts of humanity together, but they have also kept the whole divided: we have yet to learn that different forms of worship can reside as equals under the umbrella of a single sovereign Creator. Ancient scripture based in fear and superstition is expected to take precedence over modern science and the hindsight offered by recorded history. While we have grown in many ways, we still lack our saving grace – knowledge that we are all children of the same loving God. Drawing on the Urantia Revelation, God Refined describes an expanded view of Deity, one founded in truth, beauty, and goodness. We are offered hope and a path through the chaos consuming today’s world. Extending theory into practice, Part 4 applies the principles discussed to the Arab-Israeli conflict showing how non-violence can only result from an environment conditioned by love. Our task is to evolve: the goal, a higher order of existence from where peace will have it first true chance.
