test we have is our feeling for truth--for it is truth alone that is self-authenticating. And that only to the individual in their partnership with the very Spirit of Truth.
We are required to make a faith decision to seek to do the Father's will, to seek to be like the Father, as the price of our entry to eternity. For "if we had reason for faith it would not be faith at all. It would be logic. Faith can only be unreasonable." (Bryan Appleyard)
The logically impossible!
"But logic can never succeed in harmonizing the findings of science and the insights of religion unless both the scientific and the religious aspects of a personality are truth dominated, sincerely desirous of following the truth wherever it may lead, regardless of the conclusions which it may reach." (1138)
Surely it would be a logical contradiction for the author of these words (and the many other similar examples to be found in the Urantia Papers) to have been a blatant liar--which is what would be required if the Papers are fakes. And if still in doubt, re-read "Favorite Places."
