Paper 182: In the Garden of Gethsemane
1. Why was it the Father's will that the Jewish
leaders be allowed to execute Jesus?
2. Why didn't the other apostles advance the
same reasons Nathaniel gave for not taking a sword?
3. Along with David Zebedee and John Mark, who
are the unsung heroes of Jesus' ministry?
4. Is it comforting to know that the human Jesus
wanted confirmation of the Father's will?
5. How do you think Jesus' prayer to the Father
in Gethsemane was revealed to the New Testament writers?
6. From a human point of view, does it appear
that Jesus' attempt to win his Jewish people to accept the gospel was a failure?
7. Does Jesus' mastery of his human nature give
us confidence that we can master our human nature through the power of the
Father's indwelling Spirit?
8. Do you think Christ Michael had some special
meetings with the apostles after they became morontia personalities?
9. Why is there already a lack of unity in the
Urantia movement?
10. What type of being do you think ran with
Jacob to Philadelphia?
11. What type of beings might have been "the
division commanders of these armies of heaven?"
