Separating the True from the False

BY EDWARD H. CARMAN.

Christian Science has come to the world as a mirror wherein man may behold his true image and reflection and learn his true relation to God. Here is the one and only scientific explanation of Jesus, and his teachings. Here he is revealed as the only perfect man who was "the only begotten of the Father."

The first lesson learned in Christian Science is that God is omnipotence (all power), omnipresence (everywhere), omniscience (all Science and Truth); that He is infinite and eternal Mind, divine Principle, Love, the one and only Power and Presence, the one Will. It also teaches that there is a counterfeit of this one infinite Mind or Will, calling itself, carnal mind, mortal mind, or human will.

Jesus the first great teacher and demonstrator of scientific Christianity knew that thoughts came to his consciousness from the father Mind or God, to guide him in his good works and deeds of love; or they came as mental suggestions from the carnal mind, or human will to tempt him to believe in evil or commit evil deeds. Having the desire to do good and be good only, he was enabled to separate quickly for himself the true from the false, as well as to discern whether truth or error was influencing the thoughts and words of those with whom he came in contact.
