At Home

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!

    2 Cor. 5,6 – “[To be] at home in the body [is to be] absent from the Lord. [To] be absent from the body [is] to be present with the Lord.”

    After Joseph Mann’s wondrously speedy from a gunshot wound to the heart that doctors pronounced unalterably fatal, Mrs. Eddy exclaimed: “You have had a wonderful experience; you were thrown violently out of the body. Go not back into the house.” (Reminiscences of Mary Baker Eddy, Class of 1923 Notes, page 55)

    Being “at home” with the body – the 5 material senses – means being absent from the Lord, which renders the body vulnerable to sickness, accident, death. On the other hand, being “at home” with the Lord means being absent from the body, which allows the body to be governed by the spiritual senses and thereby express its true nature: invulnerability.

    “Because thou hast made the Lord thy habitation [home] there shall no evil befall him. Neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling [home].”
