The Urantia Book

Paper 194 -- Bestowal of the Spirit of Truth
1. How is the Spirit of Truth restating the message of Jesus in our generation?
2. Is Jesus’ gospel of the fatherhood of God and the brother/sisterhood of all people compatible with all of the religions of the world?
3. Why did the Spirit of Truth result in more spiritual growth in the apostles in one month than in the four years of personal association with Jesus?
4. How does knowledge of the threefold and sevenfold spirit ministry change our view of God’s loving care for us?
5. Is there evidence that “the spiritual forward urge is the most powerful driving force present in our world?”
6. Is religion free from the custody of priests and all sacred classes?
7. If the Spirit of Truth “is a tonic for health, a stimulus for the mind, and an unfailing energy for the soul,” how is this spirit ministry related to the various helping services in our society?
8. To what extent do you think our “spiritual joy, security, and confidence” is the result of influence from the Spirit of Truth?
9. What would it be like not to have the Spirit of Truth?
10. Do you think the Fifth Epochal Revelation will focus us on the truth of the gospel and lessen our celebration of facts associated with it, such as the crucifixion and the celebration of Easter?
11. Do we still have examples of “rampant emotionalism” in religion today?
12. How can we keep religion free from the influences of culture?
13. How can we be active and positive in ministry without using coercion?
14. What can we learn from the reasons for organizing the Christian Church?
