MELCHIZEDEK - King of Salem - Earth's Hero! Part 10: The God Concept of Buddhism

This week we continue our study of Melchizedek, King of Salem. Melchizedek is counted in the Bible, Hebrews 7:3, as one, "Without father or mother or genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God, he remains a priest for all time." 

Melchizedek lived and taught on earth for 94 years. Urantia Papers 93-98 are devoted to Melchizedek with Papers 96 and 97 treating the Hebrew religion's evolution--the world religion most heavily influenced, at least initiated, by his teachings.

The Urantia Book states that Melchizedek's visitation is a significan revelation of the truth for humanity. In our study, we've learned that Melchizedek came to earth on an emergency mission to rekindle the light of truth on earth. He thoroughly trained messengers and dispatched them to the four corners of earth from Salem, now Jerusalem. These extraordinary papers examine how his teachings spread to influence and create nearly every major religion on earth. They effectively recount the profound effect Melchizedek had on our world. We will continue our study of Paper 94, with Section 12: The God Concept of Buddhism.

UB 94:12.4.The great strength of Buddhism is that its adherents are free to choose truth from all religions; such freedom of choice has seldom characterized a Urantian faith.

95:1.3.Although the Salem teachers did much to refine and uplift the religions of Mesopotamia, they did not succeed in bringing the various peoples to the permanent recognition of one God.

We hope to finish Paper 94 this week and continue on with Paper 95. The Melchizedek Teachings in the Levant, which further explores the spread of Melchizedek's teachings in Mesopotamia.

We hope to again be joined by good friends and regular callers like Bro Joshua and Chuck Thurston, who have contributed so much to this wonderful study. Please Join us @10AM Mountain time!
