Bible Inspiration and Spiritual Laws

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!

    The divine Science in the original language of the Bible came through inspiration, and needs inspiration to be understood.

    I found this in Mary Baker Eddy: Her Spiritual Footsteps by Gilbert Carpenter:

    “On the surface, the Bible seems to be personal and to refer merely to the incidents significant and insignificant in the lives of those who lived many hundreds of years ago. Yet, because the histories of these patriarchs, prophets and saints can be shown to have embodied universal spiritual rules, the first step in understanding the Bible must be to begin discovering these universal laws buried beneath what seem to be experiences of individuals. The Bible is like the light from some distant star which seems small. Astronomers, however, are able, through that light, to calculate the distance and also the composition of that star. Similarly, it is possible to discover exemplified through every incident in the Bible, some universal spiritual law that is infinite in its implication and application.”

    II Timothy 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

    17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

    The Bible Studies here at Plainfield teach us the deeper meaning of the Bible and lead us to a better understanding of what the Bible is telling us. When I looked up the Biblical meaning of reproof it said that the rebuke is not always harsh, and that is exactly what I have experienced from my practitioner too. This love, is meant to guide us and guard us as God directs. We actually are the good soil that God created and our teachers keep us humble and fresh to receive the Word or seed.
