YOUR LETTERS

"Christ Jesus' innocence was his strength."

with contributions from Laura Remmerde, Nancy C. Belote, Thomas J. Verret, Henry Louis Michel, Uerla Coone

Some responses to Mr. White's letter (November 16 Sentinel)

Christ Jesus' innocence was his strength, enabling him to forgive his tormentors. How? I imagine his innocence was rather like a window through which his love could shine. It let him see that those soldiers were driven by forces they didn't understand and were propelled into such acts by their very lack of understanding.

Your healing, and your response to mindless acts, springs directly from that caring, gentle, yet strong innocence which you so beautifully expressed.

We all should question the feeling that an evil occurred "back when." I've heard Christian Scientists say, "Why, such and such never happened to me!" Appearances notwithstanding, you did go through only good. That was what God was knowing. May the evidence of Science-supported facts emerge.

I assume from your letter you are a believer in a mystical God or a believer in the Bible. Have you not heard that Jesus of the Christian religion said that all peoples of the world have sinned? We have all fallen short of the mark. Who is innocent today in 1998?

Maybe you should search in your own mind and body to find the risen Jesus. Many men believe he lives in them.

Meditation on omnipresence and the scientific reality that divine ideas exist within and reflect this omnipresence, along with the fact that we cannot be separated from Spirit, will reveal that a rejection of material cause and effect will lead to an understanding of God, good. All else is error. I rejoice because Mr. White has moved closer to Truth. My prayers go out for him in his individual struggle for Truth. I speak from experience. I have recently prevailed in a similar struggle.
