Bible Lesson 9/18/16

BIBLE, MATTER, CHRISTIAN SCIENCE


Matter:

graven images—Thou shalt not raise a false report (Exodus 23).

Daniel—Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian (Daniel 6).  The opponents of Christian Science believe substance to be matter. . . .  Christian Science takes exactly the opposite view (Eddy, 1906, pp. 349-350).

Hezekiah—The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much (James 5).  Deny the existence of matter, and you can destroy the belief in material conditions (Eddy, 1906, p. 368).

tares and wheat—God, good, being ever present, it follows in divine logic that evil, the suppositional opposite of good, is never present (Eddy, 1906, p. 72).

walking on the water—Great peace have they which love thy law (Psalms 119).

withering grass—The word of the Lord endureth forever (I Peter 1).  The conventional firm, called matter and mind, God never formed (Eddy, 1906, p. 274).
