The Twelve Apostles of Jesus of Nazareth—Part III

We continue with the third episode in our four-part series on the Cosmic Citizen on the 12 apostles of Jesus of Nazareth.  After exploring the first four apostles, we turn to Philip "the Curious," Matthew Levi—the "tax collector," "Honest" Nathaniel, and Thomas Didymus.  These four knew not Jesus of Nazareth as well as the first four.  So what attracted them to Jesus? Our intention is then to study the fifth through seventh or eighth apostles this week.  You may want to know that Thomas was actually more of a courageous analyst and scientist than "doubter." Our hosts, Paula Thompson, Christilyn Biek-Larson and Andre Radatus explore the remarkable profiles of these three or four 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 more common these men were than holy and how wonderfully representative they were of the gamut 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 toward God.
