Yea, Not Yea and Nay

Evelyn F. Heywood

The human mind believing itself to be constituted of positive and negative elements, has accepted the reality of both. Not until a spiritually scientific outlook is attained do men learn that in the whole of Mind's creation there is no negative thought.

In his vision and demonstration of the Christ, Paul had recognized this, and he set it forth in his own way to the Corinthians. In speaking of what he had taught them, he asked: "The things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea and nay nay? But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay." And he went on to explain to them why this was so: because he had learned that in Christ Jesus "all the promises of God in him are yea and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us."

Out of the negative, the destructive, the hateful and hating, out of strife and bitter controversy, Paul had come into the understanding that all the Christ-promises are affirmative, that man may express God's glory.
