TRUTH.

- Section 1 -
( - Tenets -) 1. As adherents of Truth, we take the inspired Word of the Bible as our sufficient guide to eternal Life. 5. We acknowledge that the crucifixion of Jesus and his resurrection served to uplift faith to understand eternal Life, even the allness of Soul, Spirit, and the nothingness of matter. 492:29-2 Chapter 14: Recapitulation Question 21. - Do the five corporeal senses constitute man? ADAM = Life's counterfeit, which ultimates in death. + (Victory for Truth) The conservative theory, long believed, is that there are two factors, matter and mind, uniting on some impossible basis. This theory would keep truth and error always at war. Victory would perch on neither banner. On the other hand, Christian Science speedily shows Truth to be triumphant. 142:28 Chapter 6: Science, Theology, Medicine
(Question of precedence) God being All-in-all, He made medicine; but that medicine was Mind. It could not have been matter, which departs from the nature and character of Mind, God. Truth is God's remedy for error of every kind, and Truth destroys only what is untrue. Hence the fact that, to-day, as yesterday, Christ casts out evils and heals the sick. 21:1-5 Chapter 2: Atonement and Eucharist
(Moral victory) If Truth is overcoming error in your daily walk and conversation, you can finally say, "I have fought a good fight . . . I have kept the faith," because you are a better man. This is having our part in the at-one-ment with Truth and Love. | ||||||||||||
