Discussion Questions
for a study of
The Urantia Book
by Dr. Meredith J. Sprunger
Paper 27: Ministry of the Primary Supernaphim
1. What is the closest analogy of "divine rest" that human beings can experience? What type of rest often leads to spiritual growth?
2. Is the experience of learning how to relate fraternally with people of other races, cultures, and religions preparation for the ethics we will learn on the ascent to Paradise?
3. Why is the long process of gaining knowledge through evolutionary experience superior for us than the instantaneous knowledge God could give us?
4. How does knowledge arrive at truth and experience achieve wisdom? Why is thinking about perplexing problems enriching and satisfying?
5. We usually think of worship as losing ourselves in the admiration and love of God; why does worship on Paradise result in "supreme pleasure" and "sublime self-expression?"
6. How do we expand the spontaneity of worship in our daily lives?
7. If our becoming finaliters signalizes the celebration of the first jubilee of eternity, do you suppose we will have the same long struggle understanding God the Ultimate that we are now experiencing in the quest of God the Supreme?
8. What is the difference between ethics and folkways?
9. What philosophic questions does the Fifth Epochal Revelation raise?
10. Are the rules of decorum and the training in etiquette which we receive in our education preparing us for the Directors of Conduct we will meet on Paradise?
11. What marks the first jubilee of "mortal agreement with the Thought Adjuster?"
