The Urantia Book
by Dr. Meredith J. Sprunger
Paper 3: The Attributes of God1. Is the prologue of the Gospel of John designating Christ as the creator of our universe compatible with the idea of God the Father as creator?
2. How do we harmonize the concept of an all-good, all-wise, all-powerful God with the evil and suffering in the world?
3. What comfort do some people get from believing in the doctrine of foreordination-God determines everything?
4. If our "nearest and dearest approach to God is by and through love," how do we help people who are angry & bitter about life?
5. Are the "inevitabilities" of evil necessary in our world?
6. What do you think of the distinction between evil (mistaken judgment) and sin (knowingly disobeying the will of God)?
7. What are the advantages of beings who grow toward perfection by conscious choice over those who are created perfect?
8. How knowledgeable are Christians of the unique ministries of each member of the Paradise Trinity?
9. Evaluate the degree of God's presence in our world by the condition of our civilization and culture.
10. What do you perceive as the principle agenda of God's contemporary purpose on our world?
11. Why do some Christians emphasize the judgment of God more than God's love?
12. Knowing that the eternal purpose of wisdom and love will triumph on our world, how do we face the negative and devastating experiences of life.
