From Jesus's lectures /talks in Urmia

SOVEREIGNTY—DIVINE AND HUMAN A.D. 24(age30)

Lake Urmia—in the Caspian Sea region

On an island in Lake Urmia, Cymboyton maintained a temple of philosophy and religion.

, Jesus delivered a course of lectures.

The brotherhood of men is founded on the fatherhood of a loving God.

The spiritual kingdom is founded on the fact of divine sovereignty. Religious peace—brotherhood—derives from all religions equally recognizing the sovereignty of God.

Peace among religions depends on recognition of this divine sovereignty.

Persecutions and intolerance grow out of one religion assuming superiority over all other religions.

Religious wars will persist unless all religions transfer sovereignty to God. When losing sight of the sovereignty of God, one religion will assert superiority over all other religions, thus jeopardizing peace on earth and good will among men. The net result, religious conflicts and wars.

Religious unity (not uniformity) results from the transfer of supreme ecclesiastical authority to the sovereignty of God.

God's indwelling spirit makes all men spiritually equal. We are all brethren.

The concept of equality never brings peace except in the presence of the mutual recognition of the supersovereignty of God.

The Urmia religionists lived together in peace because they had surrendered all their ideas of religious sovereignty—God was their sovereign.

Lasting religious peace will come on Urantia only

when all religions surrender their notions of divine favor, "chosen people," and superiority to the sovereignty of God the Father.

POLITICAL SOVEREIGNTY A.D. 24 (Age30)

Urmia

political sovereignty are difficult owing to the vast changes in nation life during nineteen hundred years of political evolution.

War on Urantia will never end so long as nations cling to the illusive notions of unlimited national sovereignty.

There are only

two levels of actual sovereignty—the free will of the individual and the collective sovereignty of all mankind.

There is no "chosen people."

spiritual sovereignty overrides all spiritual loyalties,

the Most Highs rule in the kingdoms of men.

The rule of the Most Highs is for the greatest good to the greatest number for the greatest length of time.

The growth of political power creates increasing problems at all stages between the family group and the government of all mankind.

Minor wars are lessened as sovereignty passes from smaller to larger groups.

But as nations become larger and larger the danger of greater wars is increased.

A few strong and powerful nations predispose to world wars.

Group loyalties are hard to change as they range from the family to the government of all mankind When mankind government controls the world's land, air, and naval forces —then peace on earth and good will among men will prevail.
