An Introduction to Christian
Science
THE TENETS
OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
From
"Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures,"
by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 497:3-27
1. As adherents of Truth, we take the inspired Word
of the Bible as our sufficient guide to eternal
Life.
2.
We acknowledge and adore one supreme and infinite
God. We acknowledge His Son, one Christ; the Holy
Ghost or divine Comforter; and man in Gods
image and likeness.
3.
We acknowledge Gods forgiveness of sin in the
destruction of sin and the spiritual understanding
that casts out evil as unreal. But the belief in
sin is punished so long as the belief
lasts.
4.
We acknowledge Jesus atonement as the
evidence of divine, efficacious Love, unfolding
mans unity with God through Christ Jesus the
Way-shower; and we acknowledge that man is saved
through Christ, through Truth, Life, and Love as
demonstrated by the Galilean Prophet in healing the
sick and overcoming sin and death.
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.
6.
And we solemnly promise to watch, and pray for that
Mind to be in us which was also in Christ Jesus; to
do unto others as we would have them do unto us;
and to be merciful, just, and pure.
