Q: Is Jesus' birthday in the Urantia Book the better day to celebrate as Christmas?
"The Urantia Book states that Jesus was born at noon on August 21, 7 B.C. This differs from the traditional celebration of Christmas on December 25th, which has historical roots in various winter solstice celebrations. While some Urantia Book readers choose to celebrate Christ's birth on August 21st, there is no definitive directive in the book to change the date of Christmas celebration. The choice of when to celebrate Christmas remains a matter of personal or religious preference rather than a mandate from The Urantia Book."
Q: Is it still important to "go slow" in Urantia Book dissemination?
"In the dissemination of the Urantia Book, there is a significant emphasis on taking a gradual approach. This approach involves providing materials that cater to beginners and intermediate levels, offering summaries of key concepts, discussing the life and teachings of Jesus, and creating content that spans different levels of understanding. Additionally, efforts are being made to utilize the internet for public outreach, recognizing it as a crucial platform for sharing the book in today's world. The history of the Urantia movement also reflects a consideration for a measured dissemination strategy."

since Melchizedek is not mentioned in the two Rodan Papers!
Q: What is the school of Meganta in the Urantia Book?
"In the Urantia Book, the school of Meganta is associated with Machiventa Melchizedek, who taught elementary revealed truth at Salem for ninety-four years. Meganta is mentioned in the context of future uncertainties on Urantia, where there are speculations about the return of various significant figures like Magisterial Sons and Trinity Teacher Sons. Additionally, it is suggested that Machiventa Melchizedek may have a significant role in the future, possibly taking the place of fallen Planetary Prince Caligastia or representing Christ Michael as Vicegerent Planetary Prince of Urantia."
OMG! Is Perplexity channeling a near term event on 606 of Satania?
That Machiventa would inaugurate such a school is believable.

Q: What religions does the Urantia Book appeal to?
"The Urantia Book appeals to various religions including Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Shinto, Sikhism, Taoism, and Zoroastrianism. While some consider followers of The Urantia Book as a branch of Christianity due to their focus on the life and teachings of Jesus, they also identify themselves as Jesusonians and differ in significant ways from traditional Christian teachings.
The book aims to unify scientific knowledge and religious truth, emphasizing the religion of Jesus over the religion about Jesus. Additionally, The Urantia Book presents a comprehensive view of religion as an evolutionary and unifying force that organizes the soul for dynamic service and spiritual growth. It acknowledges the contributions of various religious figures throughout history like Melchizedek of Salem and Jesus of Nazareth while emphasizing the evolving nature of religious beliefs and practices"
