Fidelity--MBE "Seeking
is not sufficient
whereby to arrive at the
results of Science: you
must strive; and the
glory of the strife
comes of honesty and
humility."
The
Ever-operative Law of
God
"All the rules of
Christian Science are
based on the divine law
which Jesus utilized
— the law of
perfect cause and
perfect effect, perfect
Mind and perfect idea,
spiritual substance and
spiritual
manifestation."
The
Final
Revelation
"Some have thought this
'man child' referred to
Jesus, and that his
mother must be Mary, the
mother of Jesus. But
Jesus could not foretell
his own birth; and the
'man child' was
described to John at
least sixty years after
Jesus’
crucifixion."
Grateful
for
Blessings "This
revelation of Truth was
indeed wonderful to me,
and it broke the dream
of the physical senses.
With this afflatus came
the realization that the
real man has never been
born, and it is
impossible for him to
die."
"The
Lord looseth the
prisoners"
"I am very interested in
Christian Science and
realize more and more
each day that there is
nothing that replaces
with hope and a true
faith the self-pity and
condemnation in a sore
heart as do the
teachings of Mary Baker
Eddy."

Mary
Baker

Teaching
"Divinity
Embracing
Humanity"

Standard

"The
more I
understand
true
humanhood,
the
more I
see it
to be
sinless,
-- as
ignorant
of sin
as is
the
perfect
Maker."

The
teaching of
"divinity
embracing
humanity" is
essential to
our salvation,
our
transfiguration,
in the endtime.
A
misunderstanding
of Mary Baker
Eddy's teaching
on this subject
impedes and
retards
individual and
collective
spiritual
growth. It
would prevent
Christian
Scientists from
understanding
and
demonstrating
the human and
divine
coincidence
which is the
way of escape
from the
material sense
of things.
In
Volume 4 we
read,
"How do drugs
and hygiene and
animal
magnetism heal?
They don't
heal. It is
only the faith
in them which
brings about a
result
which
they call healing. In
reality they only
exchange a belief in
disease for another
belief called health.
Materia medica
classifies health as the
absence of disease from
the body. Mrs. Eddy
tells us that 'Health is
the consciousness of the
unreality of pain and
disease; or, rather, the
absolute consciousness
of harmony and of
nothing else.' (Rud.
11:13-15)"
"In
this age the
earth will help
the woman; the
spiritual idea
will be
understood."

The
very real, but
unrecognized questions
agitating the world in
this endtime are not
those issues and events
reported in the press.
Rather, they are those
questions relating to
the second coming of
Christ and the place of
Mrs. Eddy in Scriptural
prophecy.
"Health
is not a condition of
matter, but of Mind; nor
can the material senses
bear reliable testimony
on the subject of
health. The Science of
Mind-healing shows it to
be impossible for aught
but Mind to testify
truly or to exhibit the
real status of man.
Therefore the divine
Principle of Science,
reversing the testimony
of the physical senses,
reveals man as
harmoniously existent in
Truth, which is the only
basis of health; and
thus Science denies all
disease, heals the sick,
overthrows false
evidence, and refutes
materialistic
logic."
— Mary Baker
Eddy
"Whatever
may be the prevailing
opinion as to the tenets
of her faith and its
lasting benefit to the
great cause of
religion,
none
can deny that Mrs. Eddy was a
remarkable personality, one of
the great characters which stand
out in bold relief in the history
of the nineteenth century in
spiritual affairs."
