Discussion Questions
for a study of
The Urantia Book
by Dr. Meredith J. Sprunger
Paper 141:
Beginning the Public Work
1. Why did Jesus largely ignore the imprisonment
and death of John the Baptist?
2. How does the Father's will become our will
instead of our law?
3. Why did Jesus refuse help solve the problems
arising between the disciples of John and the newer disciples of Jesus?
4. How will the vibrant picture of Jesus in the
Urantia Papers change the traditional Christian view?
5. How can religious organizations escape the
tendency to influence people to think alike through the use of creeds and
theological positions?
6. What are the implications of Jesus' instruction
not to take things out of the hearts of people?
7. How does truth make us free and when does
freedom become license?
8. Is Jesus' depth of sadness surprising when
his family did not come to wish them well when they began their public ministry?
9. What is the place of spiritual ministry in
healing the sick in contemporary medicine?
10. Should we, like Jesus, teach and live the
will of God in our lives and not be "anxiously bothered by the evil in the
world?"
