MAN IS INCORPOREAL, SPIRITUAL

John J. Selover

Human thought has long been darkened by the belief that Spirit, God, is not only infinite but also finite. From this inconsistent premise, it would follow that man, the image and likeness of God, is both material and spiritual at the same time. It would induce the conclusion that the physical person we see is spiritually physical or physically spiritual. This is a hopeless and logically insupportable view.

The intellect which believes thus is startled by these words in "the scientific statement of being" by Mary Baker Eddy (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 468): "There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter. All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all."

This statement provides the scientific premise which gives one the ability to demonstrate incorporeality. It is the basis for all effective treatment in Christian Science. It is the fundamental stand which enables the healer to cast out and destroy sin and to restore health to the body.
