God’s sympathy is divine, not human.

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!

    “Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
    For he knoweth our frame;” (Ps 103:13-14)

    This passage from the Bible this week reminded me of a passage in No and Yes page 30 where Mrs. Eddy says “God’s law is in three words, “I am All;” and this perfect law is ever present to rebuke any claim of another law. God pities our woes with the love of a Father for his child, –not becoming human, and knowing sin or naught, but by removing our knowledge of what is not. He could not destroy our woes totally if He possessed any knowledge of them. His sympathy is divine, not human. It is Truth’s knowledge of its own infinitude which forbids the genuine existence of even a claim to error. This knowledge is light wherein there is no darkness, –not light holding darkness within itself.”

    This is such an important concept in Christian Science to understand that God doesn’t and can’t know anything about a sinful mortal. It is completely contrary to the nature of God to see or know that which Spirit, Soul could never create and that is the Truth, the rock on which
    this Science is demonstrated.

    Thank you for this beautiful lesson.
