Our True Substance

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!

    As God is substance and man is the divine image and likeness, man should wish for, and in reality has, only the substance of good, the substance of Spirit, not matter. The belief that man has any other substance, or mind, is not spiritual and breaks the First Commandment, Thou shalt have one God, one Mind.
    The Readings on Wednesday called THE RIGHTEOUS PRAYER OF FAITH IN THE ALLNESS OF GOD, really struck me. In Hebrews 11 The faith of Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Rahab, Daniel etc. teach us about how faith brings understanding to our true substance which is Spirit not matter. This enlightenment helps me to cling to the First Commandment in a different way. When I pray for myself I have been asking God for faith because I know this will lead to understanding and a greater obedience to Him.
