The Twelve Apostles of Jesus of Nazareth—Part 1

Quiz time cosmic citizens! Have you ever wondered about the 12 apostles?  Who were these twelve men?  What they admired so much about Jesus of Nazareth that they continued to follow him even when the multitudes dropped away?  What attracted them to Jesus? The Cosmic Citizen undertakes a four-part series on these twelve men who obeyed the injunction command of Joshua ben Joseph when he said to each of them “Follow me.” Who was the formally best educated apostle? Who were the “sons of thunder?” Who was the curious but unimaginative apostle? Who was the philosophical apostle with a droll sense of humor? Who was the impetuous apostle? Who were the least intelligent but most faithful apostles? Who was the most analytical? Our three hosts, Paula Thompson, Christilyn Biek-Larson and Andre Radatus explore the remarkable profiles of these twelve men plumbed in Paper 139 of The Urantia Book. We think you'll enjoy this study and find curious, as most all students eventually do, how much less holy these men were than human and how wonderfully representative they were of the gamet of humanity. We will invite a variety of guests on this topic throughout the series to get their perspective on these apostles. How were these men challenges for Jesus and how did they manage to grow progressively, spiritually, and faithfully despite numerous preconceived ideas about God, Jesus' mission, and what was necessary to growth in faith tward God.
