Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures

He's from Ashburn, Virginia.

Mary Baker Eddy wrote in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, At present, mortals progress slowly for fear of being thought ridiculous.

This truth was brought home to me forcefully years ago when I injured my lower back during a high school football game.

I wasn't able to run or even walk rapidly.

As God's offspring, we are always within our father, mother's presence, care, guidance, and love.

In Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy writes, "God is the parent mind, and man is God's spiritual offspring." There may be many times when another person isn't physically there to hold our hand or say the words we long to hear, but we are never alone.

Mrs. Eddy uses the word inseparable in Science and Health when describing our relation to God.

She says, "In divine science, God and the real man are inseparable as divine principle and idea." What power that statement has.

Yes, she wrote it all herself.

The title is Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, for she explains the scriptures.

They were not understood before, not even by the twelve disciples.

She begins thus.

January 1903.

The first reading of any book whose terminology is new and strange is nearly sure to leave the reader in a bewildered and sarcastic state of mind.

But now that during the past two months I have by diligence gained a fair acquaintanceship with science and health technicalities, I no longer find the bulk of that work hard to understand.

Mary Baker Eddy writes in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, The Christlike understanding of scientific being and divine healing includes a perfect principle and idea, perfect God and perfect man, as the basis of thought and demonstration.

I am learning that this perfect God and perfect man are found at home, right here, in divine consciousness.

Thanks for joining us today.

It reminded me of how many physical scientists confirm that under their powerful microscopes, the solidity of matter is actually a false claim.

Even more arresting is what Mary Baker Eddy, The founder of Christian Science wrote in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures when she stated, Matter disappears under the microscope of spirit.

Our proper microscope is our spiritual consciousness.

As we focus on God as spirit and creation as spiritually all in all, we proportionally put material claims of substance in their proper perspective as being nothing.

And did the lady write the book? Yes, she wrote it all herself.

The title is Science and Health with Key to the scriptures, for she explains the scriptures.

They were not understood before, not even by the 12 disciples.

She begins thus I will read it to you.

We can refute that fear as an imposition, an uninvited thought that doesn't belong in our thinking.

If any condition appears to be retrograding, there is clear guidance in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy.

If it is found necessary to treat against relapse, know that disease or its symptoms cannot change forms, nor go from one part to another, for truth destroys disease.

I experienced our right to go forward years ago when I came down with a skin condition that was ugly and uncomfortable.
