The Second Garden—Paper 76— Adam and Eve in "New Eden" - Part 3

This week we continue our study of Paper 76 with Adam and Eve in the Second Garden, "the land between the rivers"—the Euphrates and the Tigris.

On the last episode in this series (two weeks ago) we covered the second two sections of this paper, 3. Life in Mesopotamia. 4. The Violet Race. We had a great conversation on these sections and we were again blessed to have the keen insights of Charles Olivea as our guest caller.

 Adam and Eve migrated from the Edenic peninsula in the eastern Mediterranean to the New Eden. Even with their superior knowledge, their having been degraded in status to that of  mere humans, made the work of planetary upliftment extremely daunting. This paper recounts that struggle, but it is practical in that it shows how they courageously faced the challenges at hand. It is, after all, what we all must do in our brief and intense human experience on this most difficult planet. 

The story of Adam and Eve is timeless and it still captures the collective imagination of humankind, even after thousands of years. The Urantia Book reveals why and it brings new meaning and understanding to this epic legend.

This week we are reading of Sections 5. Death of Adam and Eve and 6. Survival of Adam and Eve. These sections will provide a fitting finale to our series of studies on Adam and Eve.

Here's a tidbit from section 6: "Adam and Eve went to their mortal rest with strong faith in the promises made to them by the Melchizedeks that they would sometime awake from the sleep of death to resume life on the mansion worlds, worlds all so familiar to them in the days preceding their mission in the material flesh of the violet race on Urantia."

We invite you to call and join us as we continue to explore the truth behind the this revealing account of the struggles of Adam and Eve.
