THE LOGIC OF MONOTHEISM

From the September 1944 issue of The Christian Science Journal


A human philosopher opines that when A meets B there are six concepts of man present. First, there is A's concept of himself; secondly, B's concept of A; thirdly, God's concept of A. Add three similar concepts of B, and you have six. So do mortals reason.

A student of Christian Science once said to me: "When I first heard of Christian Science, I believed there was but one creation, and that it was material. As I studied Christian Science, I began to believe there were two creations, one material and one spiritual. Now after years of study and gaining a better understanding of this Science, I know there is one creation, and that one is spiritual."

Fortunately mankind, in large part, has come to believe there is only one God, one cause. Monotheism is accepted, in theory, by most of the religious adherents on this planet. But humanity is yet far from accepting the logical outcome of one God, namely, one Godlike creation and man. Most men believe that their one God is responsible for such opposite effects as immortal and mortal life, health and sickness, life and death, good and evil.
