When Peace Should Override Truth

Rabbi Allen S. Maller

The Jewish Sages teach that: “The world stands on three things, on justice, on truth, and on peace.”[Talmud Avot 1:18] Jews are commanded to follow the ways of God. He is truthful, so too, we must strive to be truthful in all of our ways.[Torah Deuteronomy 28:9] It is good to practice being truthful because the Torah prohibits lying: “Keep far away from an untruth.”[Torah Exodus 23:7] Whoever lies in a court of law, violates one of the Ten Commandments, “You shall not bear false witness.”[Exodus 20:12] (more…)

Ramadan And Repentance

Rabbi Allen S. Maller

“We have indeed (started) revealing this (Message) in the Night of Power. What will explain to you what the Night of Power is? The Night of Power is better than a thousand (ordinary) months. Therein come down the angels and the Spirit by Allah's permission, on every errand: Peace!… This until the rise of morning.” (Quran 97:1-5)

The yearly Night of Power brings down the angels and  the Spirit to empower every action that humans engage in that empowers Peace: Peace within and between our families, our neighbors, our communities, our country and all humanity.

Culmination — Everything is Culminating on Earth

by Van / Gabriel of Urantia

I’m a reader and teacher of The URANTIA Book, and my public name is Van / Gabriel of Urantia. I had already studied and taught scripture of the Old and New Testaments in the Bible before finding The URANTIA Book. I have also been used as a vessel to bring through the continuation of The URANTIA Book, found in The Cosmic Family volumes. I consider as valid and sacred scripture:

• The Bible, given by humans, which goes back possibly 6,000 years.
• The URANTIA Book (referred to as the Fifth Epochal Revelation) and given by celestial personalities, who contacted a small group of humans as early as 1911, bringing through the actual Urantia papers in 1934 and 1935, with the book being published in 1955.
• The continuation of those papers first being published as The Cosmic Family, Volume 1 in 1993 and continuing with several additional volumes, known as the Continuing Fifth Epochal Revelation.

One God, One Planetary Family

by Van / Gabriel of Urantia

500,000 years ago the Planetary Prince Caligastia, a Primary Lanonandek Son, came to Urantia with 100 supermortals, some even from other universes, who were resident on Jerusem, the capital of Satania, our administrative local system. Monmatia is the name of our solar system. There is a huge administrative system of many sectors all the way to Paradise. I am just giving you some preliminaries. You can research the rest of this cosmology in The URANTIA Book.

Nebadon is the name of our local universe that was created by Christ Michael, who came to this planet as Jesus, a Son of God and Son of Man, whose origin was Paradise. He is known as a Michael Son, a Creator Son, and is the creator of Nebadon. It is good to know the structure of your local universe and superuniverse as you ascend on this fallen world, so that you can have a sense of place.

That place was distorted when a Primary Lanonandek Son, Lucifer, rebelled from the Divine Administration of his father, Christ Michael. Michael is not just an angel. There are tens of thousands of angels also called Michael (because they want to be named after their Father), but only one Creator Son who created all of them. (more…)

Who Out There Has The Truth? 

By Rabbi Allen S. Maller

Twelve years ago the U.N. General Assembly proclaimed the first week of February as Interfaith Harmony Week for all religions; with a resolution that recognized “the imperative need for dialogue among faiths and religions in enhancing mutual understanding, harmony, and cooperation among people.”

So this Reform Rabbi offers to the religious public this article about religious TRUTH in the Qur’an.

All wise religions praise modesty; and modesty requires that religious believers do not claim that they or their religious beliefs are the one and only TRUTH. This is why the Qur’an states: “To each of you We (God) proscribed a law and a method. Had Allah so willed, He would have made you a single people, but (God’s plan is) to test you in what He has given you: so compete in all virtues as in a race. The goal of you all is to (please) Allah who will show you (on judgment day) the truth of the matters in which you dispute.” (Qur’an 5:48)

“O Children of Adam! Indeed, We have bestowed upon you from on high [knowledge of making] garments to cover your nakedness, and [clothing] as a thing of beauty; but the garment of God-consciousness [modesty] is the best of all. Herein lies a message from God, so that man might take it to heart. (Qur’an 7:26) (more…)

Pioneer Jews of the West

By William T. Hathaway

Amazing but true: The first European settlers in what is now the USA weren’t English Puritans or French fur trappers but Sephardic Jews. Before the Mayflower sailed to America, Jews had fled the Spanish Inquisition and settled in what is now Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. Although they were eventually absorbed into the mainstream culture, they built a real Jewish life here.

Who were these first pioneers? What happened that forced them to flee? What did they encounter in this far land? These questions fascinate me, and as I read what little we know about them and imagine their lives, a story emerges: (more…)
