Man is incapable of sin, sickness, and death.
~ Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 475
Wow! What a revelation. God’s man, God’s creation, God’s men, women and children, is incapable of sin, disease, and death.
Eddy is not talking about a mortal here. She’s referring to an immortal. To God’s spiritual creation.
Jesus Christ proved this. He was the “perfect man,” a man totally faithful to God in all ways. And he overcame all sin, disease, and death. He conquered all of them, proving that God’s man is incapable of being victimized by this triad of error.
He left his example for us to follow. “Follow me,” he said.
As we follow his ideal for living true to God, we discover our individuality in Spirit as Jesus did, incapable of sin, disease or death.
What better time to learn this, than now! And to experience its healing benefits.
Thank you, Evan for this revelation.
Thank you! It is such a wonder to see, when we demonstrate and experience this Truth.
Another loving reminder to stick & stay with the truth of God’s totally spiritual creation, & man as God’s perfect REFLECTION of all the good God is! Thank you Mrs Eddy & Evan too!
Nearly two years into the walk of being a Christian Scientist and new awarenesses abound. Just recently I embraced that I am immortal. Goodness gracious, the concept is simply stated, and Jesus came to teach, demonstrate, and PROVE this immortality, and this truth has been liberating. Thank you, God for the guidance to see thinking based on human senses is hellish, and to be one with Divine Mind is the only position.
Yes yes yes!
Beautiful John.
Yes, liberating! Thank you John B.
Thank you Evan!
Endless prayer
Evan, Thanks for bringing up this topic today! There is no consciousness of disease!
Thank you Harmony , I will mention it in the testimony meeting.
Our prayers are not to make mortality better. Rather we love our immortality.. Then the Spirit is represented in us and not the flesh.
Thank you John for that reminder
Thank you, thank you for the reminder of loving our immortality! I have been working with that all day.
How joyous to be taking in the immortality of spiritual creation, as this
family above beams, free from any dis ease. Their happy faces and just
being .. being part of the inclusion of divine Love is such a beautiful
expression of Mrs. Eddy’s … God’s spiritual creation. Oh, to be like them,
just enjoying a walkway through life/Life, being in the Now, not fretting
about anything that mortal thinking tries to throw at us.
Well said Carol, “enjoying a walkway through Life…in the Now, not fretting about anything that mortal thinking tries to throw at us.” The ‘tries’ is key, because error may try to tantalize us, but without our consent it can’t get very far, and falls away into its no-thingness. And we don’t consent, because we KNOW our divine rights as God’s own expression.
And thank you to John B and John Q for sharing wisdom. And Love and blessings to Evan and each one of you, and to me! We can bless ourselves too, in the name of God.
Thank you, Rose. It is so easy to be swayed by the
what-if’s .. or is this right, or that? what am I supposed to do?
mortal mind’s thinking is so conniving and does “try” to have
us question everything through a mortal lens. But as you so
correctly stated, the “key” is not giving erroneous thinking
our consent, but to follow through with the spiritual way of
KNOWING our divine rights as God’s expression. Lovely!!
Challenges come and go in our thinking and we are continually having to protect and prevent by Jesus’ example but the wonderful thing about being a follower of the master is that we understand that no matter what the physical senses seem to suggest to one’s thinking it does not make it true. Our true existence , health and harmony has its source in God alone There is no place for these suggestive lies to come from or lodge in our thinking. As Paul told us Cease from your imaginings. Like non existent water on the road, it only exists while you entertain the notion that it exists.
As Evan points out. We are incapable of anything that has no source in God.
Yes, Truus! Man is the manifestation. It is incapable of sin, sickness and death because man is God’s manifestation, Principle’s manifestation, Mind’s inspired thought and idea. Manifestation alone cannot think or create anything. Manifestation can only show forth what the source is. Manifestation is a reflection of all that God is, the harmonious goodness of Mind. There is no other mind to imagine, no other principle to claim to be man’s source of being. Therefore, no mortal -illusion of a false or limited manifestation. Just as Mary Baker Eddy writes in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, “Divine metaphysics, as revealed to spiritual understanding, shows clearly that all is Mind, and that Mind is God, omnipotence, omnipresence, omniscience, — that is, all power, all presence, all Science. Hence all is in reality the manifestation of Mind.”(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 275:20)
I like to see it as “Man incapable of dis—ease,” meaning any lack of ease is not possible for God’s expressions. Only Ease and Peace and Comfort.
Thank you very much, dear Rose! It’s so comforting and loving what you wrote !
Dear Evan, thank you a lot for this weekend’s uplifting and inspiring SpiritView! It contains truths which are freeing and with healing effects!♡
And thank you all for your so interesting and helpful metaphysical comments! Lots of love ❤️
The PERFECT man is
Pure | Exuberant | Reliable | Faithful | Empathic | Consecrated | Tolerant
Yes, Rose, I like to think of disease as dis ease, also … having no power.
Meaning we are in the Ease of God’s creation, so therefore incapable of
anything not expressing such loving qualities.
Thank you Evan and everyone for this message of truth.
“No man knoweth the Son, but the Father” (Matthew 11:27). How can we be anything but His expression ❣️
I like the way you interpret this verse Barbara. I can see now that it means that no one knows the real truth about us except God, who made us. Mortal mind is so narrow, dark and limited, it can’t see our true nature.
Material thinking/world thought doesn’t understand us at all, and makes constant false statements about God’s loved children (and most people accept this false view without question). I must ask only God if I want to know what’s actually true about me.
When it comes to evil/error we have a right to know that it has no cause, no creator, no giver and no receiver.
A thousand thanks, dear Rose for your comment, I agree very much with your inspired truth thoughts here!♡
Today I read this SpiritView several times as it comforts me very much and is very needed. A neighbor talked about error and aging. And this SV is very freeing and healing! The absolute Truth Eddy wrote on p. 475 of Science and Health “Man is incapable of sin, sickness and death” is indeed only Ease and Peace and Comfort, what Rose wrote here; and it is also Joy and Happiness and Health and spiritual Life!
Again, I’m deeply grateful for this weekend’s spiritual views so lovingly given us by Evan and all SpiritView friends! ❤️
Hi Uta, thanks for your additional wise thoughts. I see that we were both typing above just now at the same time — the One Mind being expressed.
I Love when One Mind is expressed, Rose and Uta. Thank you both
and Barbara, for your additional thoughts today. So Lovely and
Beautiful to hear.
Mrs. Eddy writes in S&H, ” We are all sculptors, working at various
forms, moulding and chiseling thought … Do you not hear from all
mankind of the imperfect model? The world is holding it before
your gaze continually.” It is almost like what you had written, Rose,
“No one knows the real truth about us except God, who made us and
material thinking/ world thought doesn’t understand us at all”. No
wonder we are tempted to “go along” with mortal mind thinking, as
though it has knowledge of who we are, but we need to see ourselves
as God’s perfection … as God sees us – in harmony with Truth. Our
True being shines.
We can–NOW–see and feel and know and understand and accept that there IS
no “other man” …a “messed-up mortal-man that must crawl out of the beliefs of mortality and learn and find and grasp his/her true being.” There are not two of us…that ‘s Dualism. God made ONE kind of man: us, perfect! We see and know and feel this NOW! The truth is not some far-off divine event that we must struggle mightily to someday reach! How cruel that would be! Your example, Evan, is so helpful! You GET it! You GOT it! You LIVE it and LOVE it! THANK YOU!
Thank You, God, for being ALL the truth there is or could be!
May I increasingly and humbly bow before this momentous fact !
