World religions
Paragraphs Close to Many Texts
Urantia paragraphs ranked by their mean percentile across the texts, highest first. Paper 131 is left out, because it is a collection of sayings from these religions. Filter by paperId or partId.
Scores come from the nine world religions texts and the World English Bible. For each text, a paragraph’s best match becomes a percentile within that text, after an adjustment for paragraph length. The texts are not independent votes: a paragraph that sounds devotional tends to score well in all of them. These are measures of closeness in meaning by an embedding model, not claims about the teachings.
