"For
a small moment
have I forsaken
thee; but with
great mercies
will I gather
thee. In a
little wrath I
hid my face
from thee for a
moment; but
with
everlasting
kindness will I
have mercy on
thee, saith the
Lord thy
Redeemer." —
Isaiah 54:7, 8.
Christian
Theism--MBE "What
appears to mortals from
their standpoint to be
the necessity for evil,
is proven by the law of
opposites to be without
necessity. Good is the
primitive Principle of
man; and evil, good's
opposite, has no
Principle, and is not,
and cannot be, the
derivative of
good."
"Enter
not into
temptation" "When
Jesus returned to his
disciples in the garden
of Gethsemane and found
them asleep, he said to
them, "Watch and pray,
that ye enter not into
temptation." This
admonition makes it
plain that temptation is
a state of thought which
mortals believe they may
enter into, as well as
one they can
avoid."
Errors
of
Temperament "The
understanding gained
from Christian Science,
that the evils commonly
associated with the
human temperament, such
as anger, jealousy,
resentment, hate, etc.,
were never created by
God, and have no place
in the true idea of man,
includes the ability to
resist their asserted
control, and eventually
erase them from
consciousness."
Effects
of an Accident
Healed "My
son was caught between
two large oil trucks.
His face and the upper
right side of his body
were caught and held
between two radiators,
one car pressing him
against the other. When
he was released the
foreman saw his
condition and had little
or no hope for his
recovery."
Abnormal
Growth
Healed "It
is over seventeen years
since I first heard of
Christian Science. At
that time I was a
physical wreck. There
was an abnormal growth
on my breast, for which
an operation was to be
performed, but I was
asked to try Christian
Science . .
."
"Christian
Unity"
From Christ and
Christmas
by Mary Baker Eddy
.
"This
is the Father's great
Love that He hath
bestowed upon us, and it
holds man in endless
Life and one eternal
round of harmonious
being. It guides him by
Truth that knows no
error, and with
supersensual, impartial,
and unquenchable
Love."

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."
