Reply To: Remnant

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!

From Strong’s KJV Bible Concordance

Zephaniah 3:13 remnant 3499 (From 3498) an overhanging, an excess, superiority, remainder
3498 to jut over or exceed, by implication to excel, to remain or be left, cause to abound, preserve
1 Kings 18:22 “even I only remain a prophet”
this usage remain is the same as remnant 3498 !!

I was wondering who would be considered a member of the remnant. Checking into the definitions from Strong’s Concordance it appears that there is a very high standard. As related above honesty is an important part of it so anyone who partakes in their efforts without that attribute evidently wouldn’t be a part of the ‘remnant.’
