The Urantia Book
by Dr. Meredith J. Sprunger
Paper 188: The Time of the Tomb
1. Why are the Midwayers largely ignorant of what transpired while the body of Jesus was in the tomb?
2. Why do you suppose that Joseph believed that Jesus would rise from the dead while Nicodemus was very doubtful?
3. How do you suppose Rebecca’s love for Jesus expressed as a young woman and in being present at his crucifixion and burial was handled in the Mansion Worlds?
4. Do the assumptions of the Midwayers regarding the human and divine consciousness of Jesus while his body was in the tomb seem reasonable?
5. Will the Fifth Epochal Revelation finally terminate belief in the atonement doctrine?
6. Because of the Jewish leaders mistake in evaluating Jesus, might they become among the most ardent followers of Michael in our local universe?
7. How does the love of Jesus on the cross inspire us to face the “crosses” in our experience?
8. Does the fact that four men carried the body of Jesus suggest that he was a large man?
9. Why did the women think that Jesus’ body was not properly embalmed?
10. How will the love of Jesus on the cross for the Jewish leaders destroy their hate?
