Reply To: Made Superior To Sin, Sickness and Death

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!

Thank you for pointing this out!

In the 1828 Webster dictionary, superior is defined,

“4. Being beyond the power or influence of; too great or firm to be subdued or affected by; as a man superior to revenge.
There is not on earth a spectacle more worthy than a great man superior to his sufferings.”

In a world that constantly wants to define us by labels of sin, sickness or death, it is all-important to not be ensnared in such traps but to recognize our true spiritual and immortal nature. I love how you put it: “This is something I can obey as a great law unto myself…” What an excellent reminder!
