Jezebel

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!

    The falling away of Judah from the rulership of Spirit began with Solomon, whose desire for human, political harmony caused him to take many wives from the godless nations surrounding Judah. The process of falling away accelerated with king Ahab’s marriage to the authoritarian Phoenician princess, Jezebel, in a similar attempt to create a multicultural paradise apart from God. Jezebel was steeped in Baal worship, which, along with associated gods eventually became the ruling deity in Judah. She actively pursued evangelizing Judah with the worship of her beloved Baal.
    There is no better example of the consequences of misguided “tolerance” for religious multiculturalism than this cautionary tale of Ahab’s off-centered attempt to mix matter with Spirit — his fateful marriage of convenience to Jezebel.
    “Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest [you tolerate] that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols” (Revelation 2:20).
