God Forbids Disease

Carl J. Welz

Disease can be prevented or cured if one mentally applies the truth that God is Mind and God is All. His idea, man, is entirely spiritual. God is Truth, and whatever appears to be man that is not Godlike—perfect in harmony and health—is not man. Discord and disease are errors, forbidden by the infinitude of Truth.

Christian Science explains that the physical body is a false concept which changes for better or worse according to what one believes himself to be. The carnal, or mortal, mind declares that physical sensation is the major portion of one's concept of himself. Allowed to go unchallenged, this belief governs the believer, and his body experiences the conditions included in this belief.

But one who understands something of the allness of Mind recognizes that mortal mind is a liar and that physical sensations are its lies. He is, therefore, free to challenge the concept he is entertaining of himself: to stop believing what he hears, sees, smells, tastes, and feels and to begin declaring his harmonious, timeless, infinite, sensationless being as an idea of God.
