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!

Thanks. I appreciate the evolution of the the term “prophet” you provided. It is natural and normal for progressing students of Christian Science to reach the status of “prophet”. An earlier status is “soul-inspired”. Each student can immediately become soul-inspired. They can maintain this status through the same qualities required of a “prophet”. We should be able to recognize how and when we ” heard the voice of Truth, and talked with God as consciously as man talks with man.” (S&H: 308:14-15). If we cannot remember such events, it is an easy thing to start.
