Discussion Questions
for a study of
The Urantia Book
by Dr. Meredith J. Sprunger
Paper 184: Before the Sanhedrin Court
1. Why were the Pharisees more favorable to Jesus than the Sadducees?
2. Since Annas clearly knew what he was doing, how might this effect his problems in the Mansion Worlds?
3. In politics is power and wealth often more important than truth and justice?
4. What were the basic factors behind Peter's denial?
5. Is Jesus magnificent behavior during his persecution a new revelation of the potential of human nature?
6. How do we escape personality isolation in the midst of solitary suffering?
7. Why did this body of normally just men abandon their own rules and draw up false charges?
8. Why did Annas, the superb politician, want to convene the Sanhedrin legally when the substance of the trial was done illegally?
9. Since Annas was more concerned about losing the temple revenues that Jesus' teaching, what does this say about his spiritual values?
10. Will the specific description of Jesus' trial in the Fifth Epochal Revelation influence contemporary Jewish leaders of its injustice?
