CHRISTIAN SCIENCE UNCOVERS AND DESTROYS MORTAL BELIEFS

From the February 1957 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Christian Science makes it very clear that God is All. Since He is All, He must be one and therefore individual. And since God is infinite, His individuality is infinitely manifested by man and the universe. Man has perpetual individuality, and his consciousness includes no evil, for it reflects Mind; and there is no evil in the unlimited Mind, God.

We read in Genesis (2:6), "There went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground." Christian Science uncovers the fallacy of the mist or mystification, showing that it is simply mortal belief. This mortal belief results in a so-called creation of matter, of minds many, of material personality, the exact opposite of the one true, spiritual creation as presented in the first chapter of Genesis. Christian Science shows that mortal belief has no real origin. Christ Jesus said of the devil, or false belief (John 8:44), "He is a liar, and the father of it." To accept the material sense of things as real is to be in bondage to all material so-called forces and laws.

Prior to the year 1875, in which the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," was given to the world by Mary Baker Eddy, the individual had no rule at his disposal to challenge the authority of the wholly mythical Adam creation. But Mrs. Eddy proved false the theological belief that this material creation, admittedly fragile and wholly temporal, was and is God constituted and God-blessed. Through spiritual healing, she fully proved that Christian Science reveals the spiritual laws of God's universe, the same laws utilized by Christ Jesus in his healing ministry.
