"Ye are not my people"

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!

    In Hosea 1:10, we read, “… in the place where it as said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.”

    It occurs to me that, as in the days of old, when there were distinct divisions between people, whether Jews, Gentiles, or Samaritans, etc., today we are living the same divisions under different names, be it race, religion or political persuasion! The divided political scene harbors with it the temptation to think, “Ye are not my people”. So, to see the “others” correctly: “Ye are the sons of the living God” can be a challenge, but a welcome one, and the whole point of this lesson, to be of one Mind! and to get beyond the material picture and see our fellow brethren for who they truly are, in reality, spiritual ideas of God, reflecting the same One Mind.

    In S&H:467 Mrs. Eddy states: “It should be thoroughly understood that all men have one Mind, one God and Father, one Life, Truth, and Love. Mankind will become perfect in proportion as this fact becomes apparent, war will cease and the true brotherhood of man will be established.”…”thoroughly understood”, not just “understood”. Will have to work on that!
