THE UNREVERSIBILITY OF GOD AND HIS WORK

Paul Stark Seeley

A phase of evil which the Christian Scientist needs to see the nothingness of is the claim which sometimes suggests that while a healing of sickness, sin, lack, or inharmony has been accomplished through Christian Science, the healing can be reversed. To reverse means to undo, to turn the other way, to change completely. The claim of evil in its entirety, it is helpful to see, is a claim of reversal.

Evil claims to reverse the supremacy of God, good, with the lie that evil is more powerful than good. It would reverse the fact that man is spiritual, healthy, holy, and harmonious with the lie that he is material, often sick, sinful, and discordant. If a mortal, Mr. A, son of Mr. and Mrs. B, is sick, evil says there is a reversal of the spiritual fact that man is the immortal son of God and forever expresses health and harmony.
