Having Done All, Stand on the Statutes

The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

    SH 148 – “Truth, Life, and Love are the only legitimate and eternal demands on man, and they are spiritual lawgivers, enforcing obedience through divine statutes.” STATUTE is derived from the Latin word stare meaning “to stand, make or be firm”. Furthermore, Webster defines “statute” as “an act of the legislature of a state that extends its binding force to all the citizens or subjects of that state, as distinguished from an act which extends only to an individual or company…” Thus, the “divine statutes” provide me with an indestructible foundation upon which to “stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.” The statutes of Science also give me legal standing to pursue error, expose its perjuries in spite of its incessant, roaring testimony in the lower court of consciousness (mortal mind), “I am telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth!”

    The chapter heading of SH 379 reads “Jurisdiction of Mind,” and JURISDICTION is derived from the Greek: “a place marked off.” Mrs. Eddy’s allegory of the trial (SH 430) begins in apparent hopelessness, as if the patient’s mind is in a jurisdiction off-limits to God Himself, but at last, in the higher court of awakened consciousness, “the plea of Christian Science heals the sick,” because mortal mind, satan, has absolutely no jurisdiction to which it could possibly lay claim, anywhere in the universe. The jurisdiction of Mind is omnipresent.
