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 once again for sharing your insightful exploration:)! I never thought of it in this specific way so this is great fun!! In the past I’ve tried to correlate specific days to specific Synonyms of God. I have my thoughts on it but conclude at this point they all correlate with each others in their own special ways.

Here is another definition from the Glossary;
DAY. The irradiance of Life; light, the spiritual idea of Truth and Love. “And the evening and the morning were the first day.” (Genesis i. 5.) The objects of time and sense disappear in the illumination of spiritual understanding, and Mind time according to the good that is unfolded. This unfolding is God’s day, and “there shall be no night there.”

From the 1883, 3rd Edition of S&H p63;
Mrs. Eddy in her explanation of Genesis 1 ‘firmament,’ uses the phrase “Understanding forms line of demonstration whereby to determine the real from the unreal.” in place of “line of demarcation” which appears in the current edition of S&H. Makes so much sense; if one can demonstrate in healing sickness and sin one certainly can tell the difference between the real and the unreal/lie/illusion:)
