Welp, this thread has officially jumped the shark.
Ever notice that religion doesn't seem concerned with being credible or logically explainable? For instance, if the apostles and authors of the gospels were trying to perpetuate a fraud they didn't stick with a believable story if they were appealing simply to logical, skeptical minds.

In my theology Macaventia Melchizedek was an incarnate, full grown adult who appeared on earth at a time of crisis, a low point in spiritual evolution. The Melchizedeks are an order of celestial beings who perform special functions. At the time of the default of Adam and Eve our world went into receivership under the supervision of the Melchizedeks.

Macavnetia founded a colony of disciples in Salem, now known as Jerusalem. He was actually the visible representative of God who made the covenant with Abraham but hundreds of years later the Hebrew redactors had God himself coming down and dealing directly with Abraham.

After roughly 90 years Mechizedek retired to his tent one evening and vanished just as he had appeared but not before imparting a monotheistic religion and missionaries who went out to the 4 corners of the earth carrying the message.

Ooh, spooky!



ORIGIN AND NATURE OF THOUGHT ADJUSTER


"
Universal Father is personally resident on Paradise, at the very center of the universes, he is also actually present on the worlds of space in the minds of his countless children of time, for he indwells them as the Mystery Monitors. The eternal Father is at one and the same time farthest removed from, and most intimately associated with, his planetary mortal sons.

souls of men; they are the veritable promise of man’s eternal career imprisoned within the mortal mind; they are the essence of man’s perfected finaliter personality, which he can foretaste in time as he progressively masters the divine technique of achieving the living of the Father’s will, step by step, through the ascension of universe upon universe until he actually attains the divine presence of his Paradise Father.

107:0.3 God, having commanded man to be perfect, even as he is perfect, has descended as the Adjuster to become man’s experiential partner in the achievement of the supernal destiny which has been thus ordained. The fragment of God which indwells the mind of man is the absolute and unqualified assurance that man can find the Universal Father in association with this divine Adjuster, which came forth from God to find man and sonship him even in the days of the flesh."

Not hardly. I'm sorry, but you've chosen to accept an anonymous, fictitious book, as some universal truth - and you probably feel special because of it? I'm sorry, but it's no more/less "special" than any other work of fiction. In fact, you could probably glean more "truths" about life from reading Stephen King or Shakespeare.

You are no expert on truth or especially the content of the UB, you never read it. So your opinion of it is from ignorance. I don't feel "special" as much as I feel feel grateful. But the conceited Atheist heart knows not grace nor respectful gratitude for God.

I'm no expert on truth, which is why I attempt to use methods that are. Unfortunately for you (and the other 153 followers of UB) choosing some anonymous book as your arbiter for things true, is well, laughable.
