This week Andre, Chuck, and Paula will be studying Urantia Paper 10, The Paradise Trinity, and we'll focus on Section 3. The Three Persons of Diety. There are three Positive and Divine Personalizations of Deity. God the Father: The First Source and Center. God the Son: The Eternal Son, who sustains an indispensable relationship to the Father. And God the Spirit: The Infinite Spirit. These three perfect and equal beings complete the existential personalization of Deity. Together, they form a unity that rests eternally upon the absolute foundations of divine oneness.  Here are two interesting paragraphs that we'll be contemplating: Notwithstanding there is only one Deity, there are three positive and divine personalizations of Deity. Regarding the endowment of man with the divine Adjusters, the Father said: "Let us make mortal man in our own image." Repeatedly throughout the Urantian writings there occurs this reference to the acts and doings of plural Deity, clearly showing recognition of the existence and working of the three Sources and Centers. (10:3.1) The Universal Father, prior to his self-willed divestment of the personality, powers, and attributes which constitute the Son and the Spirit, seems to have been (philosophically considered) an unqualified, absolute, and infinite Deity. But such a theoretical First Source and Center without a Son could not in any sense of the word be considered the Universal Father; fatherhood is not real without sonship. Furthermore, the Father, to have been absolute in a total sense, must have existed at some eternally distant moment alone. But he never had such a solitary existence; the Son and the Spirit are both coeternal with the Father. The First Source and Center has always been, and will forever be, the eternal Father of the Original Son and, with the Son, the eternal progenitor of the Infinite Spirt. (10:3.5.) We hope you can join us!
