The Joy of Christian Science

ERIC W. CARR

Christian Scientists should be the happiest and most joyous people upon earth. And why? Because they have found the key which gives them access to the treasures of the Bible and enables them to acquire many of those things which are generally considered dear to life in the way of health, peace, and freedom from fear.

All denominations of Christianity hold that there is one God and that God is good, the only cause and creator, as shown in the Bible in the first chapter of Genesis. But when it comes to considering the nature of man, whom we read of in this chapter, there is a tendency to turn to the second chapter of Genesis and to assume that Adam was the man referred to in the previous chapter.

From this misunderstanding has sprung the assumption that the troubles which seem to have been associated with Adam and his progeny were either sent or permitted by God to test and try mankind.
