Discussion Questions
for a study of
The Urantia Book
by Dr. Meredith J. Sprunger
Paper 10: The Paradise Trinity1. Why does the Universal Censor consider the Trinity an "inescapable inevitability in universe affairs?"
2. Explain: "The Father, Son and Spirit can collaborate in a non-Trinity manner, but not as three Deities." Can the Father, Son, and Spirit function as persons and not as Deities?
3. Does the concept of justice and judgment as a nonpersonal function of the Trinity change our attitude toward these universe actions?
4. Contrast the Christian view of the Trinity with The Urantia Book description.
5, Since divine judgment conforms to the justice of the Trinity and at the same time fulfills the love of God, how do we understand its nature? Is this the meaning of "tough love?"
6. We experience many forms of suffering, yet all things work out for the welfare and progress of the universes. Is this because of suffering or in spite of suffering?
7. Knowing that justice cannot be achieved by any personal, individual attitude or decision, but must always be a group function, where should we alter industrial, educational, and parental policies?
8. What implications does the Father's policy of self-distribution and delegation of power have for us as supervisors, teachers, and parents?
9. Is the existence of the Trinity a modification of the concept of monotheism as the followers of Islam maintain?
10. Since the potential of groups transcends the potential of individuals, should a religion seek to establish as many groups as possible?
11. Does the totality of universe justice modify our concept of the problem of suffering with its seeming injustice?
