Urantia Paper 2— The Nature of God—Pt 1: The Infinity of God

Join us as we begin a new study this week. It's the second in our study of the first five papers of The Urantia Book, which are all about God, our Universal Father. This week we begin Paper 2. The Nature of God!

This paper teaches us that our understanding of God, and his nature, is handicapped because our minds are limited. However, it reveals that the best way to understand the nature of God is through an understanding of the life and teachings of Jesus.

God the Father unfailingly meets the ever-changing demand for himself all over the universe. He knows everything. The Universal Father sees the end from the beginning. To God, all time is present, there is no past or future. He is infinite in all of his attributes.

This paper will take us deeper into the masterful mystery, unfathomable beauty, resplendent nature, and divine attributes of God.

2:1.1."Touching the Infinite, we cannot find him out. The divine footsteps are not known." "His understanding is infinite and his greatness is unsearchable." The blinding light of the Father's presence is such that to his lowly creatures he apparently "dwells in the thick darkness." Not only are his thoughts and plans unsearchable, but "he does great and marvelous things without number." "God is great; we comprehend him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out." "Will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, the heaven (universe) and the heaven of heavens (universe of universes) cannot contain him." "How unsearchable are his judgments and his ways past finding out!"

2:1.5.No thing is new to God, and no cosmic event ever comes as a surprise; he inhabits the circle of eternity. He is without beginning or end of days. To God there is no past, present, or future; all time is present at any given moment. He is the great and only I AM.

We hope you can join us!
