Hello Yaakov,
You fit in with all people who have struggled between a new revelation and their inherited faith. Similar struggles occurred when Galileo learned that Earth was not the center of the universe. These struggles also occurred when science proved that evolution was a fact, and the geological record showed the planet we reside on was billions of years old. They occur on a daily basis when a man tries to reconcile God's infinite love and goodness with the disasters of time. In the end, truth is truth and it cannot be refuted except by those who choose to ignore reality.
Let it be clear that I am not proposing you are ignoring reality. You are seeking to learn the truth, and you are blessed by an honest heart and circumstances which led you to develop an open mind. I applaud your bravery.
Yes, it is possible to be of two minds about the book. I would hope that a sincere soul would regard any piece of spiritual literature with a sense of caution. Without this caution, what is to prevent you from believing just about anything?
I understand your problem in regards to human history in the Urantia Book. I, personally, believe every word at this time. Yet one of the most difficult questions I ever had to answer came from my girlfriend: How could I believe the Urantia Book's depiction of human history, given what I know about the archaeological record? Her honesty is one of the reasons I love her so much. At first, I had difficulty answering this, and was actually a little offended. Then my better sense took hold. I gave her this answer, in summation:
IF it is proven without a shadow of a doubt that the history in the Urantia Book is flawed, then it would not change my opinion of it as Revelation. The reason is because the Revelators told us that if we lacked a mental universe frame with which to operate in, we would invariably create one. Similar to the way certain fantastic stories in the Bible could not have happened given the scientific understanding we now have, that does not detract from their moral and spiritual value; that the Revelators, with their superior wisdom, deemed it wise to provide searching souls with the best answer they could give us without giving us unearned or premature knowledge. Maybe something very similar to what they describe happened, and this is the closest approximation they can give us while still retaining as much spiritual truth as possible. All those things are small compared to the great truths the Urantia Book has revealed.
There are various quotes I could give to support this claim, and I am sure others will disagree with me. That is ok, as I do not agree with that opinion myself. Yet the Urantia Book asks for unity, not uniformity. Yes, it is possible to be of two minds about the Book, as I have just demonstrated by the fact that I am of two minds about the literalness of the Book itself!
In all your decisions regarding the book, be brave. If God is for you, who can be against you? If you are for God, He will honor your faithfulness. I hope that, regardless of the answers you finally settle upon, your soul is satisfied with what you have found. May God guide you brother.
