Keep distinctly in thought…

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!

    “Keep distinctly in thought that man is the offspring of God, not of man; that man is spiritual, not material; that Soul is Spirit, outside of matter, never in it, never giving the body life and sensation.” (S&H, cit.#10)
    This morning I was stopped at the word “distinctly.” One definition in Webster’s 1828 dictionary is: without blending of one part with another.
    So I must not blend the truth that I am a child of God with the belief that I am a child of material parents, nor blend the truth that I am spiritual with the belief that I am also material, nor blend the truth that Soul is Spirit (God) with the belief that there is also a soul within my body. I am not two “mans”– a spiritual and a material man — but only one, an offspring of God! Such a wonderful God-given thought from Mrs. Eddy!
