Despite denominational differences in ritual and dogma, the omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence of God are fundamental in Christian theism. Christian Science not only teaches the omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence of God, but unreservedly practices it. Healing in Christian Science—and healing is an essential part of this new-old religion—is wrought through practical application of this fundamental truth to every problem.
The Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, illumines and makes understandable and usable the spiritual truths of the Bible. The Scriptures are clear as to the omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence of God; and this religion, based on the Bible, teaches the full import, power, comfort, healing, and peace of the Word of God. In Christian Science one learns that the all-wisdom, all-presence, and all-power of God are ever available to those who truly seek Him and that, when rightly applied, this truth heals disease.
God is omniscience. The only intelligence of the universe is the infinite divine intelligence, or divine Mind, God; and divine intelligence is with us wherever we are, imparting the infinite ideas which manifest the divine Mind, God. The ideas and thoughts emanating from the infinite good which is God are necessarily as good as their divine source, and when put into practice can bring us nothing but good. It is only when we entertain thoughts of a supposititious mortal mind—the belief in an intelligence apart from the divine Mind—that sickness, sin, lack, unhappiness, and finally death become a part of human experience.
