Pornography: A Lie About God and Man

JACK EDWARD FOSS

A social climate that permits and produces pornography can be purified by the spiritual understanding that man's true nature reflects God's nature and that it does not include a prurient appetite. Christian Science shows us that there is no reality in any impure concept, because an impure concept could not proceed from God, good.

God is Mind, the source of every real and good thought. An understanding of the reality—the allness—of divine Mind enables us to perceive the falsity and powerlessness of sinful concepts that seem to originate in some lesser mind or intelligence.

Christian Science is the systematization for this age of the spiritual, scientific method of healing employed by Christ Jesus in freeing mankind from sin and disease. It is the reappearing of primitive Christianity, radical in its reliance on spiritual means for regenerating and healing. Awakened to the allness and immanence of God, divine Mind, we are able to assert and prove the unreality, the nothingness, of any impure or debased concept.
