BIBLE, ADAM, CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Adam and Fallen Man:
Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace (Psalms 37).
man--Man is the family name for all ideas,—the sons and daughters of God (Eddy, 1906, p. 515).
Eden--Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it (Genesis 2).
curse--And unto Adam he said, . . . cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life (Genesis 3).
sight--Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind (John 9).
life--As in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive (I Corinthians 15).
reflection--Lift up thine eyes round about, and see (Isaiah 60). If man is the image, reflection, of God, he is neither inverted nor subverted, but upright and Godlike (Eddy, 1906, p. 200).
