The Five Foolish Virgins

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!

    Thank you for the inspiring Wednesday evening testimony meeting last night on Light. The beautiful readings, lovely music, and helpful testimonies were exactly what I needed to hear. This morning synchronicity was at play when I got out of bed to handle a false claim. Reading through 500 Watching Points, I could feel a lifting. But when I came across WATCH 79, I had to laugh.

    “79–WATCH lest you accept one of the four suggestions which handled the five foolish virgins: 1) That man’s spiritual light was once lit, but now has gone out. 2) That it is possible for it ever to go out. 3) That man’s supply of spiritual oil that comes from infinite Mind can be limited. 4) That it is possible to enter into a permanent consciousness of the Christ as the true selfhood of man, through the light that is borrowed from another.

    In reality the five foolish virgins had unlimited spiritual oil given them by God; hence it must have been mesmerism that deceived them into believing that it was limited. The solution to their problem certainly was not to borrow oil, since God’s demand is that each one fan for himself the recognition of where the oil comes from. Error can never rob anyone of his spiritual understanding. It can only suggest that he has lost it, or it has given out. Before mortal man will lose his mortality, he must learn to protect himself and stand guard against such a false belief.”

    Thanks again for the healing readings on this teaching, and for the Light of God so freely shared at Plainfield. I am learning to be thankful for the opportunities that come to demonstrate the love of God. What a relief to learn my lamp is forever full of spiritual oil.

    Joyful blessings,

    Rae
