Bible Lesson 5/21/17

BIBLE, IDENTITY, CHRISTIAN SCIENCE


Soul and Body:

We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord (II Corinthians 5).

Principle--Soul or Spirit signifies Deity and nothing else (Eddy, 1906, p. 466).

idea--Man is the expression of Soul (Eddy, 1906, p. 477).

meekness--Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up (James 4).

holiness--And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And . . . put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness (Ephesians 4).

Science--Jesus patiently persisted in teaching and demonstrating the truth of being. . . .  Christ illustrates the coincidence, or spiritual agreement, between God and man in His image (Eddy, 1906, pp. 136, 302).

secret--Christians rejoice in secret beauty and bounty, hidden from the world, but known to God. . . .  Man is the reflection of Soul (Eddy, 1906, pp. 15, 249).
