Christian Science is the
pure evangelic truth. It accords with the trend and tenor of Christ's
teaching and example, while it demonstrates the power of Christ as taught
in the four Gospels. Truth, casting out evils and healing the sick; Love,
fulfilling the law and keeping man unspotted from the world,--these
practical manifestations of Christianity constitute the only evangelism,
and they need no creed.
As well expect to determine, without a telescope, the magnitude and
distance of the stars, as to expect to obtain health, harmony, and holiness
through an unspiritual and unhealing religion. Christianity reveals God as
ever-present Truth and Love, to be utilized in healing the sick, in
casting out error, in raising the dead.
Christian Science gives vitality to religion, which is no longer buried in
materiality. It raises men from a material sense into the spiritual
understanding and scientific demonstration of God.
THE HUMAN CONCEPT
Sin existed as a false claim before the human concept of sin was formed;
hence one's concept of error is not the whole of error. The human thought
does not constitute sin, but _vice versa_, sin constitutes the human or
physical concept.
Sin is both concrete and abstract. Sin was, and _is_, the lying supposition
that life, substance, and intelligence are both material and spiritual, and
yet are separate from God.
