Science of Christianity

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!

    In this week’s Lesson, it says in citation 14. 473:26 (to ,), 28 (He)-31:
    “Jesus established what he said by demonstration, …He proved what he taught. This is the Science of Christianity. Jesus proved the Principle, which heals the sick and casts out error, to be divine.”

    And in the April 30th Watch, Bicknell Young’s statement from “Idea” really struck me:
    “No church in the world can give proof of its utility as long as there is no scientific Christianity.”

    To really get a grasp on this, I looked up “science” and “scientific.”
    In Webster’s 1981:
    “science” is defined: “a possession of knowledge as distinguished from ignorance or misunderstanding. Knowledge attained through study or practice.”
    “scientific”: “exhibiting the methods or principles of science.”

    In Webster’s 1828:
    “science”: “In a general sense, knowledge, or certain knowledge; the comprehension or understanding of truth or facts by the mind. The science of God must be perfect.”
    “scientific”: “producing certain knowledge or demonstration; as scientific evidence.”

    Thank goodness that Jesus proved the Truth and set an example; and Mary Baker Eddy explained that through spiritual sense we can all understand and do the works!
