The Urantia Book

Paper 191 -- Appearances to the Apostles and Other Leaders
1. What do you imagine was some of Peter’s “peculiar difficulties?”
2. Do you think it was the triumph of Peter’s faith over doubt that caused Jesus to appear to him?
3. What does the extended concern that Jesus had for Peter suggest about his mercy toward those who fail to live up to their better intentions?
4. How does information about Jesus’ progression through the morontia experience help us in our mortal experience?
5. What does it mean that we are “not to love the souls of men, but rather to love men?”
6. Why do our doubts most stubbornly assert themselves just as they are about to crumble?
7. Why do you think the story in the gospel of John that has Thomas putting his finger in Jesus’ hands and side?
8. Should Andrew’s caution regarding Peter’s report been more kind to Peter’s feelings?
