This chapter #3 is comprised of 90 questions and answers.

  	    Do you teach that you are equal with God? 

  	    A reader of my writings would not present this ques-
12	tion. There are no such indications in the premises or
  	conclusions of Christian Science, and such a misconcep-
  	tion of Truth is not scientific. Man is not equal with
15	his Maker; that which is formed is not cause, but effect,
  	and has no power underived from its creator. It is pos-
  	sible, and it is man's duty, so to throw the weight of his
18	thoughts and acts on the side of Truth, that he be ever
  	found in the scale with his creator; not weighing
  	equally with Him, but comprehending at every point, in
21	divine Science, the full significance of what the apostle
  	meant by the declaration, "The Spirit itself beareth wit-
  	ness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: and
24	if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with
  	Christ." In Science, man represents his divine Prin-
  	ciple, — the Life and Love that are God, — even as the
27	idea of sound, in tones, represents harmony; but thought
  	has not yet wholly attained unto the Science of being,
  	wherein man is perfect even as the Father, his divine
30	Principle, is perfect.
