FIRST STEP TOWARDS DESTROYING ERROR

Unhesitating decision

To decide quickly as to the proper treatment of error whether error is manifested in forms of sickness, sin, or death is the first step towards destroying error.

Birth ~ Let It Come Forth

Let the new birth come forth. The limits of time & space are removed as we understand there is no life, truth, intelligence, or substance in matter. They are mental illusions.

SPIRIT. Divine substance; Mind; divine Principle; all that is good; God; that only which is perfect, ever-lasting, omnipresent, omnipotent, infinite.

Birth ~ From Awakening to Ascension

ASCENSION INVOLVES LETTING GO of the belief of life, truth, and intelligence in matter.

The false impression of birth being a material activity interferes with the true concept of birth as stated in the Bible, Genesis 1 where it states man is made in the image & likeness of God.

Jesus experienced a probationary period after resurrection which was then followed by ascension.

Christ Jesus
Radiant in Glory
Matt 17

CHRIST JESUS

For two thousand years the prophets told of the coming Messiah. Finally he appeared and began his brief ministry.
In three short years he started a revolution which was to gather momentum and sweep the West. It destroyed Greek philosophy. It replaced barbarism with civilization. It provided a basis for Western culture. It gave answers where others could only ask questions. It emphasized Spirit rather than the flesh.

THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST

In John 17:4 Jesus said, “I have glorified thee on the earth. I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.” This is a remarkable statement. In three short years Jesus had completed his mission. His work was finished.

Did this mean that all revelation was complete? Not at all. In John 16:12 he said, “I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.”

Christian Science and Christ & Christmas ~ Rolf Witzsche

Book ~ Index

This book is dedicated in honor of Mary Baker Eddy, one of the greatest scientific geniuses of her time. Her stature as a world-historic person reflects a number of pioneering achievements that she is widely honored for, which have uplifted the face of civilization in numerous respects. She is noted for her dedication to advancing the status of women; for ennobling Christianity with a scientific dimension; for reinstating its nearly lost element of Christ- healing; for her discovering and founding of Christian Science, and the writing of its textbook; for establishing a world-wide church and ordaining for it two impersonal pastors, the Bible and her textbook; and not least for her founding of the international newspaper, The Christian Science Monitor...........  However, these types of biographies rarely focus on her accomplishments as a pioneer in the scientific dimension where she was so far advanced of her time that she noted that “Future ages must declare what the pioneer has accomplished.” These words remained on the first page of the preface of her textbook on Christian Science, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, which she had constantly revised and upgraded in the course of more than 400 editions of the book, keeping the book in line with her own scientific development over the space of 35 years since its first publication. 

In celebrating the150th Anniversary of her discovery of Christian Science, it is appropriate that the historic dimension of Mary Baker Eddy be enriched with a specific focus on the scientific aspects of her work. This is the purpose of this book. She has accomplished enormously on this front, far more than what society gives her credit for, most of which remains generally unknown. 

If a historian had asked her in her time what she had most wished for in her life, she might have answered that she had labored for 44 years to give to humanity the clearest sense possible of the “acme” of Christian Science., which means that all other accomplishments where subsequent to it and reflect it. But what was her sense of the “acme” of Christian Science as she used the phrase at the end of the last chapter of her textbook? This answer was not provided. 

She gave hints of how it may be discovered, since Christian Science was a discovery from the beginning. She left the answer for future ages to declare, when society was sufficiently advanced to take note of the scientific dimensions that she had incorporated into her work, by which they would become discovered and be advanced.

Criticism ~ Dr. Francis J. Fluno

Criticism is fault-finding. It shuts you out of heaven. It will darken all your skies. It will keep you from demonstrating for yourself and others. It will bar you from progress. It leads you into all trouble. It leads you into all discord, into all unkindness, impatience, hard heartedness, unfriendliness—and finally into all evil, hatefulness envy. Just as long as that spirit of criticism remains in your thought, and you leave it there, just so long will not progress, just so long will you not be able to demonstrate, just so long will you not be able to find your way in Truth, because you will be looking for faults constantly. You are fault finding on a mortal, material plane.

You will criticize everybody and everything. You will criticize people in every way —the clothes they wear, the way they walk, the way they talk and the way they enunciate, the way they pronounce their words, the way they sing, and everything they do in every possible way; and that is all you will do.

If the spirit of criticism is abroad in your heart, it is growing. I do not say that it is there; but if it is, and it is not removed after being detected, it will, of course, remain there and grow. Then by aid by you will want to know why you do not understand and cannot demonstrate the Truth as you would like to. It is because you are finding fault with people—finding fault with what they do and say. You ae not looking for Truth and so are not finding Truth in what is done—but you are studying faults. Faults are what you are looking for, aid they are all you are thinking of.

Criticism is the worst thing that you can get into your thoughts. It is one of the keys to perdition because it leads there. It leads to all unkindness; it leads into ingratitude; it leads into everything but love for your neighbors and friends. Anyone can criticize. I never saw a person so great an idiot, if he could talk at all, but he could find fault with others. Anyone can do it, and just as soon you let it enter your thought and leave it there, it will grow until you soon will think you are an elected critic —that is your mission, that is what you are here for, that is the work you are to do.

Criticism is an awful thing. It never did any good and never will do any good. It never can, because it is all on a mortal plane, every bit of it. You are not helping others, you are not helping yourself. It does net belong to Christian Science for there is nothing Christian about it. There is not anything scientific about it, not one thing.

I have seen it all my life; I have seen it from earliest childhood, and I know everyone of you has, and it is a thing that ought to be well looked into, to see whether you have it or not, because you are a student of Christian Science; you are a student of the Science of being. If you are studying that, you will progress in everything you do.

Nothing you touch, but you will do well with it, because Christian Science leads to wisdom, love, kindness, and satisfaction. It leads the way to kindness to everyone, to helpfulness of everyone, and it will lead you to see opportunities and will open up opportunities to you that you never saw before in everything, in every walk of life, to become better in everything you do. Everything you touch will grow out of plainness before you; everything is elucidated, everything is made plain, and everything is made easy.

There are no hard roads and no hard work. In fact, you will find no such thing as hard times, and no hard work to get along, if you are studying the great facts themselves. The great trouble is to let go of mortal sense and study Truth, study the facts of being. Do you think you have to hold on with one hand to mortal law and its way of living? If you will let go, you will find your living sure, and you will a better living and an easier life than you ever had before. We lose our sense of worry; we lose the worry of business; we lose the worry of finding business; we lose the thought of our body.

You will then lose the thought of losing your life, of losing your health, because you ae growing into strength, life, health, freedom, because you are growing into true manhood a d womanhood. You ae growing to be better scholars of yourself and students of Christian Science. You are not students of the way people walk along the street, finding fault with the way they walk, with the cut of their dress, with the cut of their coat, finding faults with their habits, with their shortcomings, with their little faults and little feelings. You are students of Christian Science!Show all
