LTRP Note: This letter to the editor is from a long-time Lighthouse Trails reader.
Dear Lighthouse Trails Editors:
Perhaps you are aware of the big, channeled The Urantia Book, which is akin to A Course in Miracles. Urantia is incredibly dangerous and demonic. While we know who A Course in Miracles was channeled through, there is no such information with Urantia.” “Urantia” is blatantly (and frighteningly) one hundred percent not written or contrived by the human mind or imagination. It is pure evil from powerful entities in the unseen realm. It very possible could be “The Bible” the antichrist will use to deceive the nations into a “Unity” culminating into the one-world religion. What is horrifying to me is their work of translating this ungodly book into Hebrew!

Here is my personal story about this book, which took place back in the early 1980s in Everett, WA:
There was a retired Christian couple in Everett, WA who owned a Christian bookstore of sorts. They were friendly and kind, and had, as best as I can recall, spent a few years in ministry in Asia. In other words, I simply trusted them. As I approached the man to make my purchase, he looked at me and said, “There’s life on other planets you know.”
Amazed, I asked, “How did you know I wondered about that?”
He replied, “God told me.” That “bait” worked, and I was one hooked fish. Reaching under his desk, he pulled out a big, big book, and said, “This book tells you about that.” When I asked him who wrote it, he ran me around until the subject was dropped, I purchased it and couldn’t wait to get home and start reading it.
The book’s binding, print, paper, and format were very identical to a Bible. It was completely void of any credit to any human authors or writers. The mysterious nature of it and my natural curiosity kept me slowly reading it, but the more I read it, the more agitated and uneasy I felt. Within a week, I began to sense I was not alone in my house when I tried to read it and that I was being carefully watched. This escalated until I knew that about three very tall, powerful, “beings” were standing beside me; and that is when I flipped through that book to find where the Gospel, the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ was and how it was presented. Thank God, the Holy Spirit revealed it for what it was. Urantia went into the garbage can and the evil beings left my house.
Do I believe that the Laodicean church of today will fall for the false “Jesus” portrayed in this book from? YES!!! We are in the day of the “falling away” because people, not having received a love for the truth, are being sent a strong delusion from God that they should believe a lie (2 Thessalonians 2). Multitudes have already been conditioned by weak and pathetic “Christian” movies, such as The Chosen (and others) that are devoid of an understanding of the Gospel, the consequences of sin, worldliness, the need for true repentance, obedience, and holiness. The fact that millions of Christians purchased, read and loved that blasphemous book, The Shack should be evidence enough that the organized church is ready for major delusion.
God bless you,

Unaware of this book and organization. Very distressing that deception is increasing and so many are being led astray. Please continue to pray for the lost and those being deceived. Prayer changes things.

James,
Thank you for bringing that to our attention. We have decided to remove that link from the letter.

Thank you for the insight, it is very troubling to see that the new age movement has infiltrated the church to a large degree through deception and weak Christians.
I believe once a Christian has studies the Bible and is very well versed in it, then they think about reading other books.
Although I appreciate the withChrist.org site reviewing the book and exposing the horrific teaching therein, be aware that Dan and Diane Smedra are Calvinists, so the rest of the website might not be a good resource.
