Reply To: Human Intellect / Intellectualism vs Wisdom

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!

Yes, thank you JC. Intelligence is from God. Mrs. Eddy gives a beautiful definition of “intelligence” in the Glossary so comparing “intelligence” to “wisdom” is not a good example. It would be better to use the words “human intellect” or “intellectualism.” We were taught here “intellectualism” is the “bane of Christian Science.”
