Discussion Questions
for a study of
The Urantia Book
by Dr. Meredith J. Sprunger
Paper 137: Tarrying Time in Galilee
1. Andrew's involvement in service resulted in his being chosen as the first apostle, while the anxiety of James and John resulted in their not being chosen first. What spiritual insights might these events bring to mind?
2. What do you think of the logic Ezra used in rejecting Jesus as the Deliverer?
3. Why do spiritual developments often not follow our logical human expectations?
4. Was the instantaneous appearance of wine a help or a hindrance in the ministry of Jesus?
5. Is it comforting as we face our problems to know that even Jesus spend an entire night thinking about the way he would conduct his ministry?
6. Are the teachings of the Urantia Papers too difficult for most people of this generation to comprehend?
7. Jesus made it very clear that the kingdom of God was not a material kingdom; why did it take so long for his followers to fully understand and accept this view?
8. Contrast the selection of the apostles in the Urantia Papers and the New Testament.
9. Was the meeting of Philip and Nathaniel with Jesus a chance meeting or were they guided by unconscious spiritual direction?
10. Do you think that Mary's problem of understanding Jesus ended when she entered the Mansion Worlds?
