Blending with God

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!

    “Christ presents the indestructible man, whom Spirit creates, constitutes and governs. Christ illustrates that blending with God, his divine Principle, which gives man dominion over all the earth.”S&H p. 316

    The word “blending” stood out to me and gave such an image of being so inextricably united with God! How then could we be separate from God? And the words “gives man dominion” points to Christ Jesus as our Wayshower, for this wording includes all of God’s children. This dominion is something we have to claim, and Jesus showed us the way. The question is, am I walking in his footsteps?

    “You have taken on a tremendous job when you became a Christian Scientist. You have virtually aligned yourself with God. You say to God, “I am with You for evermore; I stand with You as Your child; I promise You my allegiance.”

    Thank you for this post! In thinking about dominion that was mentioned and when looking the word up in 1828 Wester I found the following (in part)
    5. Predominance; ascendant.

    6. An order of angels.

    Whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers. Colossians 1:16.

    7. Persons governed.

    Judah was his sanctuary; Israel his dominion Psalms 114:2. Also Genesis I: 26 (p.316 SH) mentions dominion. This dominion can only be given and directed by God. For me this dominion starts with myself and comes under self-government … for instance dominion over my feelings and how I am radiating out to the world is very important and this is done by totally submitting/giving myself to God….here again is the first commandment.
