Has anyone heard of this?

I am getting a bunch of passages that this guy who believes in this and I have no idea what this is. I go to the webpage he gave to me and all it has is a bunch of books to sell to me.

It seems they think they are taking something from humankind from 300,000 years ago. I told them if those humans were so smart how come we haven’t found any signs of them, their writings and only something from what someone made up in this day and age? Or that the human bones we find lived in caves and maybe some buried some of their own, but we find evidence that they even ate each other (never let it be said I don’t get the dander up on folks!).

here are some of the quotes this guy has posted:

3:5.5 The uncertainties of life and the vicissitudes of existence do not in any manner contradict the concept of the universal sovereignty of God. All evolutionary creature life is beset by certain inevitabilities. Consider the following:
3:5.6 Is courage -strength of character-desirable? Then must man be reared in an environment which necessitates grappling with hardships and reacting to disappointments.
3:5.7 Is altruism -service of one’s fellows-desirable? Then must life experience provide for encountering situations of social inequality.
3:5.8 Is hope -the grandeur of trust-desirable? Then human existence must constantly be confronted with insecurities and recurrent uncertainties.
3:5.9 Is faith -the supreme assertion of human thought-desirable? Then must the mind of man find itself in that troublesome predicament where it ever knows less than it can believe.
3:5.10 Is the love of truth and the willingness to go wherever it leads, desirable? Then must man grow up in a world where error is present and falsehood always possible.

it goes on and on and what I deem from it is that a bunch of guys think they are smarter than everyone else and are trying to lay a sham on people to buy their books. It sounds like they believe in Jesus, but ? (I don’t know what to say)

Let me know if anyone has heard of this.

Thanks!

here is another post that really got me wondering what was up with this:

*3:5.17 The creatures of Havona are naturally brave, but they are not courageous in the human sense. They are innately kind and considerate, but hardly altruistic in the human way. They are expectant of a pleasant future, but not hopeful in the exquisite manner of the trusting mortal of the uncertain evolutionary spheres. They have faith in the stability of the universe, but they are utter strangers to that saving faith whereby mortal man climbs from the status of an animal up to the portals of Paradise. They love the truth, but they know nothing of its soul-saving qualities. They are idealists, but they were born that way; they are wholly ignorant of the ecstasy of becoming such by exhilarating choice. They are loyal, but they have never experienced the thrill of wholehearted and intelligent devotion to duty in the face of temptation to default. They are unselfish, but they never gained such levels of experience by the magnificent conquest of a belligerent self. They enjoy pleasure, but they do not comprehend the sweetness of the pleasure escape from the pain potential.

Thus without the experiential life we live, how do we truly learn the path to perfection? The eternal goal of being born as a mortal, completely material, being infused with a spiritual fragment of God that dwells within our mind, birthing a soul to house all the memories of value and relationships born out of love and then living and dying to new birth, as ascending children of God. When real life beg*

Well, it looks like no one here knows - as of today. And some others sent me to some websites to do further reading:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Urantia_Book

and

world-destiny.org/tocups.htm

I am reading them now - they are long.

But, if anyone has anything else - feel free to add anything. Otherwise, I am going away with the old saying: ‘if one doesn’t stand for something they will fall for anything…’ or however it goes, I probably paraphrased it.
