What Jesus Accomplished

[Jim Spencer]

Rev. Moon says what he says--through his speeches.By what mechanism can one determine if what he says is accurate or not? This is a very big question----and it can only be answered by each individual person, weighed out against the backdrop of their own personal life of faith. Some, such as yourself BELIEVE his words to be completely accurate. That is your own decision, and you are entitled to it. A truly wise man, will recognize that they have the freedom and the responsibility to search out all of the information available, measure it against their own life experience and understanding--and come to a decision about how they should do God's Will. Have you really examined everything you can, before you discard other sources of truth? Really? Or, are you just examining other sources of spiritual knowledge through your own tinted reality glasses? This is what Urantia says about Jesus overcoming Lucifer. Whether it scares you or not--it's a good read. I read the Biblical accounts of the Fall, the DP account of the Fall, and this account of the Rebellion. I like this one better. Does that make me a bad guy Jim? Does that make me a liar? Evil? Again, that is your 5% responsibility to determine. When I found this account to be more plausible---and how can anyone know invisible truth except through their own mind and heart?----it had to change my perception of Rev. Moon---no other way around it. That was my 5% responsibility---I am required to be completely sincere and honest with myself, rather than to feel that I am forced to accept that which---deep in my heart---does not hold true.

If you are strong in your belief, and believe that God guides you, then no harm can come by thinking about what constitutes truth to you. How could it be any other way? You might say, "oh, but we are fallen, and we cannot know the truth and must rely on a prophet or another Christ to show us the way--even against our inner soul". That's a personal choice, everyone must make their own. But is God is a just God---how could he condemn a person for using the tools he was given in order to determine what is truth and what is not? Anyways---this is another viewpoint:

"Near the end of the mountain sojourn Jesus asked his Father if he might be permitted to hold conference with his Satania enemies as the Son of Man, as  Joshua Ben Joesph. This request was granted. During the last week on Mt. Hermon the great temptation, the universe trial, occurred. Satan (representing Lucifer and the rebellious Planetary Prince, Caligastia, were present with Jesus and were made fully visible to him. And this “temptation,” this final trial of human loyalty, in the face of the misrepresentations of rebel personalities, had not to do with food, temple pinnacles, or presumptuous acts. It had not to do with the kingdoms of this world but with the sovereignty of a mighty and glorious universe. The symbolism of your records was intended for the backward ages of the world’s childlike thought. And subsequent generations should understand what a great struggle the Son of Man passed through that eventful day on Mount Hermon.

To the many proposals and counterproposals of the emissaries of Lucifer,  Jesus only made reply: “May the will of my Paradise Father prevail, and you, my rebellious son, may the Ancients of Days judge you divinely. I am your Creator-father; I can hardly judge you justly, and my mercy you have already spurned. I commit you to the adjudication of the Judges of a greater universe.”

To all the Lucifer-suggested compromises and makeshifts, to all such specious proposals about the incarnation bestowal, Jesus only made reply, “The will of my Father in Paradise be done.” And when the trying ordeal was finished, the detached guardian seraphim returned to Jesus’ side and ministered to him.

On an afternoon in late summer, amid the trees and in the silence of nature, Michael of Nebadon, won the unquestioned sovereignty of his universe. On that day he completed the task set for Creator Sons to live to the full the incarnated life in the likeness of mortal flesh on the evolutionary worlds of time and space. The universe announcement of this momentous achievement was not made until the day of his baptism, months afterward, but it all really took place that day on the mountain. And when Jesus came down from his sojourn on Mt. Hermon, the Lucifer Rebellion in Satania and the Caligastia secession on Urantia were virtually settled. Jesus had paid the last price required of him to attain the sovereignty of his universe, which in itself regulates the status of all rebels and determines that all such future upheavals (if they ever occur) may be dealt with summarily and effectively. Accordingly, it may be seen that the so-called “great temptation” of Jesus took place sometime before his baptism and not just after that event. At the end of this sojourn on the mountain, as Jesus was making his descent, he met Tiglath coming up to the rendezvous with food. Turning him back, he said only: “The period of rest is over; I must return to my Father’s business.” He was a silent and much changed man as they journeyed back to Dan, where he took leave of the lad, giving him the donkey. He then proceeded south by the same way he had come, to Capernaum.
