No variableness

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!

    “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.” (James 1:17,18) I love thinking about God as the “Father Of lights” shining in us. “Ordinary heavenly lights produce shadows, they wax and wane, shift and fade, even the sun is occasionally eclipsed. God’s light is unchanging, it is not subject to variation. God’s light cannot be overshadowed.” (A Pilgrims Theology WordPress.com) How comforting to know that God is a constant, immutable, ever present source of all good, life, wisdom, purity, happiness, and that this Truth has always been, is now, and forever will be. This can never change.

    Thank you for your post!
    I love this, “Truth IS, falsehoods are not!” (Bluebook p.282) It is this established distinction between what is Truth and what is false that makes Truth always the victor.

    This scientific fact is enlightening and encouraging. As man is really the manifestation of our unchanging Father-Mother God, we can know that the appearances of discord of any kind is only transient, “they appear to disappear.” Physical claims, emotional turmoil, any form of discord, unrest or discontent, has no permanency if we do not give them any life by making them “something.” Whether likened to the eclipse of the sun (the moon’s shadow blocking the sun) or to the thick clouds of false beliefs and negative thinking, these do not change the spiritual substance of true being. They do not have the capacity to alter what is eternally true. When the passing eclipse is over, or the clouds move away, we see that wonderful light again shinning so bright.

    As when the brightness of our true being is seen again shinning even brighter when those clouding false beliefs are gone.
