e, and you will discover the material origin,
growth, maturity, and death of sinners, as the history of man, disappears,
and the everlasting facts of being appear, wherein man is the reflection
of immutable good.
Reasoning from false premises,--that Life is material, that immortal Soul
is sinful, and hence that sin is eternal,--the reality of being is neither
seen, felt, heard, nor understood. Human philosophy and human reason can
never make one hair white or black, except in belief; whereas the
demonstration of God, as in Christian Science, is gained through Christ as
perfect manhood.
In pantheism the world is bereft of its God, whose place is ill supplied by
the pretentious usurpation, by matter, of the heavenly sovereignty.
_What say you of woman?_
Man is the generic term for all humanity. Woman is the highest species of
man, and this word is the generic term for all women; but not one of all
these individualities is an Eve or an Adam. They have none of them lost
their harmonious state, in the economy of God's wisdom and government.
The Ego is divine consciousness, eternally radiating throughout all space
in the idea of God, good, and not of His opposite, evil. The Ego is
revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; but the full Truth is found only
in divine Science, where we see God as Life, Truth, and Love. In the
scientific relation of man to God, man is reflected not as human soul, but
as the divine ideal, whose Soul is not in body, but is God,--the divine
Principle of man. Hence Soul is sinless and immortal, in contradistinction
to the supposition that there can be sinful souls or immortal sinners.
This Science of God and man is the Holy Ghost, which reveals and sustains
the unbroken and eternal harmony of both God and the universe. It is the
kingdom of heaven, the ever-present reign of harmony, already with us.
Hence the need that human consciousness should become divine, in the
coincidence of God and man, in contradistinction to the false consciousness
of both good and evil, God and devil,--of man separated from his Maker.
This is the precious redemption of soul, as mortal sense, through Christ's
immortal sense of Truth, which presents Truth's spiritual idea, _man_ and
_woman_.
_What say you of evil?_
God is not the so-called ego of evil; for evil, as a supposition, is the
father of itself,--of the material world, the flesh, and the devil. From
this falsehood arise the self-destroying elements of t
