Jesus' 14th and 15th Years
Dr. Roger Paul led a discussion on the crucial years of Jesus' life, specifically his 14th and 15th years. He emphasized that these years were the most challenging for Jesus, as he transitioned from childhood to young adulthood and grappled with self-consciousness of his divinity and destiny. Dr. Paul also highlighted that Jesus faced more significant challenges than typical adolescents due to his dual personality. The conversation ended with Gary restarting the discussion from the beginning.
Jesus's Life in Nazareth Discussed
In the meeting, Gary discussed the importance of a particular period in Jesus's life, focusing on his return to Nazareth and his relationship with his parents. Dr. Paul added that this period was significant as Jesus's father died, and he had to take over the family. Rodney highlighted Jesus's growing love for the Jewish people and his respect for sincere Pharisees, but his contempt for hypocritical ones. Dr. Paul also mentioned that Jesus's mother, Mary, believed he was destined to be the Jewish Messiah, while his father had a different view. The group also discussed the expectations of the people in Nazareth, who looked forward to Jesus reading the Scriptures in the synagogue at the age of 15.
Jesus' Life and Divine Nature
The group discusses Jesus' life at age 14, including his developing skills as a carpenter and his growing self-awareness of his divine nature. It then describes the tragic death of Joseph, Jesus' father, in a work accident. This event forces Jesus to take on the responsibility of supporting his family, including his mother and seven siblings, with another child on the way. The discussion emphasizes that divine intervention did not prevent this tragedy, allowing natural events to shape Jesus' life experiences, including the opportunity to raise children without having his own.
Jesus' Family Responsibilities and Divine Mission
The summary discusses Jesus' life and responsibilities after his father Joseph's death. Jesus takes on the role of family provider and caretaker, managing the family's finances and caring for his siblings, especially his youngest sister Ruth. He develops the prayer that later becomes known as the Lord's Prayer through his efforts to teach his siblings individual prayer. Jesus struggles with balancing his family obligations and his divine mission, ultimately recognizing that caring for his family is part of his Father's business. This experience proves valuable for his future ministry and helps him avoid potential criticism from religious leaders.
Jesus and the Book of Enoch
In the meeting, Lech discussed how Jesus found the term "Son of Man" in the Book of Enoch, which influenced his mission on Urantia. Jesus was not expected to be the Jewish Messiah, but he longed to help his father's people. He was certain he would not sit on the throne of David at Jerusalem or appear as the Son of Man depicted by the prophet Daniel. Dr. Paul shared that the Book of Enoch is not in the Bible but can be found on YouTube, and it contains stories about the Calagastia, 100, the nephilim, and the giants. Dr. Paul also mentioned that Jesus spent time reading the Book of Enoch to educate himself on what happened before he came to the planet. Gary and Rodney expressed their unfamiliarity with the Book of Enoch.
Religious Text Discussion and Prayer
The group concludes their discussion of a religious text, with Dr. Paul mentioning he's been called a heretic for his teachings. They decide to end the meeting earlier than usual, stopping at Paper 126, section 3:37. Rodney leads the group in a prayer of acceptance.
