If God be for us, who can be against us?

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!

    Responsive Reading: Romans 8
    31. If God be for us, who can be against us?

    The following incomplete list of “who can be against us” has been coming to me this week:

    • The ignorant
    • The proud
    • Those mesmerized by false systems
    • Those who have been turned away from Christian Science by a parent or teacher who was weird or personal

    I was definitely in that last camp for a few decades, and I am grateful for the love that has been shown by members here which helped me to see the difference between how my mother presented Christian Science, and what Christian Science actually is.

    The unselfed love and lack of weirdness that this Church and its members present to the world goes a long way to dissolve all the ways that anyone, anywhere may feel “against us” because of our honest striving for oneness with God and desire to reflect Truth, Life, and Love in all we do. We know that no one given the option would ever actually choose to seek error, death, and hate — that would be weird! So I am grateful to be here, and to be able to help reach out to the world and break down every barrier and false belief that people may have with the Science that works for me and I know will work for them.

    Thank you for this lesson!

    In reading this Bible passage today, a quote from Mrs. Eddy came to me that can be found in the Essays and Footprints Fadeless book also referred to as the “Red Book” page 80. “I don’t care what mortal sense has done; I don’t care how it has beat me, and worked me, and insulted me, wronged me and lied to me, and tortured me. It is all past and it is a dream. I have found Love at last. I can lie down in the Father’s arms and be at peace. I love God supremely. Mortal sense has done its worst. I have passed through the Red Sea and under the rod, and been nailed to the cross, and still I am God’s own child, hid with Christ in His arms, safe in green pastures.”
