IN the article in April Journal entitled "The Measure we mete," is a statement that seems very misleading, and one that has caused some disturbance amongst students, because it does not seem to be in accord with the teachings of Christian Science. However, the writer's thought may be right, and the error in the manner of expression only.
The statement is this: "Jesus knew the heart of man, having been tempted on all points; that is, having found in his human heart everything that is in the heart of each one of us."
Now this statement, if accepted as it reads, does away with the immaculate conception wholly, and would thus make Jesus the Christ as much a sinner at some time as each one of us to-day. I do not understand this to be the case, according to the teachings of the Bible and Science and Health. Read from Science and Health, page 211, four lines, beginning with line 19. This clearly implies that he could only in a very slight degree have manifested what is in each mortal.
