Infinite

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!

    “….God, the infinite, supreme, eternal Mind.”

    A while ago I decided to think more about the word infinite. From school all I could equate it to was in math when a line never ended. This did not give me the deeper sense I needed to understand God better.

    Infinite:(Webster’s 1828)

    1. Without limits; unbounded; boundless; not circumscribed; applied to time, space and qualities. God is infinite in duration, having neither beginning nor end of existence. He is also infinite in presence, or omnipresent, and his perfections are infinite.

    2. That will have no end.

    We read that God is All, omnipresent, omnipotent- many ways to express God’s infinity. One thing that has been helping me is Scientific Translations by Martha Wilcox.
    “And as we discern the spiritual fact of all things, the material accompaniments such as inanimate life, weight, density, solidity, finiteness, impermanence, insecurity, uncertainty, time and place will vanish from our consciousness and human experience.”

    -not circumscribed (limited, controlled, confined) to time and space or other material qualities

    I was trying to understand this concept of infinite through my 5 senses. Mrs Eddy tells us, “The physical senses can obtain no proof of God.” and that, “The true understanding of God is spiritual.” I am grateful for the teachings at Plainfield that cultivates spiritual sense that is replacing my old way of repeating words and memorization that did not help me feel the meaning nor help me prove this practical Science of Christ.

    Thank you for posting this. The concept of God’s infinitude is most helpful in understanding ONENESS and also appreciating more deeply the first commandment. It has helped me obey the Truth that there is NOTHING else. All His creation is included in Him!
