Questions and Answers

What is the true distinction made in Christian Science between "Jesus" and "Christ:" Are they used synonymously or not? M. C.

They are not, as a rule, used synonymously. Jesus is used to designate the human personality, or him who appeared in the flesh. He proved to mortals the fatherhood of God, by doing God's work, thereby becoming God manifest in the flesh; that is, being the manifestatin to human understanding, of Love, Life, Truth.

Christ, or the Christ,— "without beginning of years or end of days," is not used to designate the human Jesus, but the Spiritual idea, the Holy Ghost, or Comforter."
