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!

I doubt that anyone knows what all of it means, but I agree that it certainly is the only path worth being on. I have found that as I work to do these things, I see things more clearly, have more compassion for others, and have a clearer sense of my own life purpose. I also find that the worldly thought becomes more offensive to me, and antagonistic toward this blossoming truth.

From John 15, “If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.” Christ Jesus. I have learned not to be surprised when some of those around me become bothered when I offer Christian Science. The worldly thought hates the Christ, for it is a rebuke to it. The Christ does not seek a fight. It just is. And since it is all that is true, the worldly thought has no chance to survive, but it puts up a fight within the thought of anyone who will subscribe to its lies, until it is finally destroyed by the Christ truth.

This must be why Mrs. Eddy warns us, as did Jesus, to be minutemen and women, to be consecrated warriors, and to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. False beliefs do not go away quietly. They fight for their (false) lives. So, when you hear the dark voices, either within or from without, recognize that they are the false beliefs trying to kill your new-found inspiration. You have all the power of God to turn on the lie and tell it where to go!
