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 Jacob for your post and thanks for how you wrote about it. Many have questions; Others wonder the same….Grateful for all responses.

As I understand it Mrs. Eddy is not condemning sexuality but says it is one of the things that fall away as we gain the reality of our spirituality. I understood that the need to seek (completion, satisfaction)in another fades away once we become aware that we are already the reflection of both male and female qualities. Eating and drinking is referenced above; all materiality will yield as we progress spirit-ward. The beautiful qualities of joy, love, are here forever.
SH 64:17-25 in this Jesus declared that in the resurrection there should be no more marrying nor giving in marriage but man would be as the angels. Matthew 22 and Luke 20 both reference this. On pg. 509 of SH God forms and peoples the universe….what does that say about human procreation? Man will awaken from the Adam dream of materiality and no longer be dominated by it.
