The DeConstruction of the New Testament

In describing what happened after the Resurrection in the Urantia Book, I must first give a short description of the Resurrection itself, because we have a unique inside view of events. Here is what the Urantia Book says: “At 2:45 Sunday morning the Paradise Incarnation Commission, consisting of seven unidentified Paradise personalities, arrived on the scene and immediately deployed themselves around the tomb. At 10 minutes before 3:00 intense vibrations of commingled material and morontia activities began to issue from Joseph’s new tomb, and, at 2 minutes past 3:00 this Sunday morning, April 9, AD 30, the resurrected morantia form and personality of Jesus of Nazareth came forth from the tomb.”

This part of the Resurrection needs clarification: * Jesus’ physical body was not part of the resurrection. His physical body was still in the tomb. Later angels would use a process of decomposition by speeding up time.**He did not emerge as a spirit or as the God of Nebadon. *** He chose to follow the path his creatures followed–to the morontia worlds, our first stop on the journey to Paradise.

The first act of Jesus after emerging from the tomb was to greet Gabriel and tell him to continue in his role of executive administrator of universe affairs under Michael’s brother Immanuel. As the situation stands now, Jesus is a morontia pilgrim, just like any human who passes to the morontia worlds. (These worlds are satellites of Jerusem, an artificial planet much larger than Earth and which serves as the HQ of the System of Satania. Satania has about 600 inhabited planets, including Earth. Also, the soldiers are still standing guard in a fugue and the seal in still intact. One wonders who opened the tomb if the women found it open. Jesus appears to a great many people, and one wonders why this wasn’t recorded in the NT. John did say Jesus helped them on their preaching tours, but that could mean anything

The UB gives evidence that Jesus rose under his own steam, nobody else was there to pull him up, not even God. In Luke Jesus does something that maybe he could have done earlier: he ” opened their minds to understand the scriptures.” Why did Jesus wait until the last minute to infuse his disciples with higher knowledge and wisdom? He also said that, “repentance for sins would be preached to all nations.” SAY WHAT? Jesus talked incessantly about the kingdom of heaven and he forgave sinners. He had compassion on them. He ate with sinners. John the Baptist yelled about repentence. Jesus saved his tough talk for the temple leaders and he even forgave them in the end. Forgiveness, not repentence was his mantra. The author of Luke is deluded. John’s Gospel ties things up in the following way: Mary meets Jesus at the tomb, who tells her not to hold on to him but to go his disciples and tell them he is going to God. Then he appears to the disciples and breathes on them, telling them: “Receive the Holy Spirit, whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.” Again, powerful words to put a civilization in lockstep.

I have just a couple of last remarks. Jesus told Mary Magdeline not to touch him because he was clothed in morontia robes that apparently cannot thrive long in Earth’s environment. This should put to rest the rumors that he was married to Mary. Especially due to the fact that he went to the Upper Room and let his disciple touch him as much as they needed in order that they might believe.

According to the UB when the women came to the grave Sunday morning, they found the stone rolled away and the tomb empty. There was only a man sitting in the gloom who didn’t address them. Mary uttered a scream of anguish, which terrified the others, and they fled. But they went back, not wanting to leave Mary alone. Then they observed the strange silent man. Mary assumed he was the caretaker of the cemetary and asked him, “Where have they taken the Master? Where have they laid him? Tell us so we may go and get him.” When the stranger didn’t answer, Mary began to weep. Jesus then spoke to them, “Whom do you seek?” Mary said, “We seek Jesus, who was laid to rest in Joseph’s tomb, but he is gone. Do you know where they have taken him?” Then said Jesus, “Did not this Jesus tell you that he would die, but that he would rise again?” The women still didn’t recognize Jesus until he spoke Mary’s name in that special way he had. The the women threw themselves at his feet, and he told them not to touch him because of his morontia clothes.
