The Urantia Book
by Dr. Meredith J. Sprunger
Paper 138: Training the Kingdom's Messengers
1. Why do you think Jesus decided not have members of his family as members of the corps of apostolic directors?
2. What was the purpose of allowing the first six apostles to chose an additional apostle?
3. Are there characteristics in the new apostles chosen that is suggested by the apostle who made the selection?
4. How do you imagine the apostles went about their work of personal evangelism?
5. What outreach lessons do we learn from the fact that human beings find that accepting new or enlarged concepts very difficult?
6. Does Jesus' warning not to develop a cult about him and his teaching suggest that theology and philosophy is not to be confused with or substituted for the Gospel-the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man?
7. How do we distinguish between the "repentance of good works" and living faith?
8. In selecting his apostles, Jesus gave warnings to Peter, Thomas, and Judas. Is this because they had greater limitations than the other apostles?
9. Is there any evidence of the organization of the apostles in the New Testament?
