Of old, the Jews put to death the Galilean Prophet, the best Christian on earth, for the truth he spoke and 360:30 demonstrated, while to-day, Jew and Christian can unite in doctrine and denomination on the very basis of Jesus' words and works. The Jew believes that the Messiah or 361:1 Christ has not yet come; the Christian believes that Christ is God. Here Christian Science intervenes, ex- 361:3 plains these doctrinal points, cancels the disagreement, and settles the question. Christ, as the true spiritual idea, is the ideal of God now and forever, here and everywhere. 361:6 The Jew who believes in the First Commandment is a monotheist; he has one omnipresent God. Thus the Jew unites with the Christian's doctrine that God is come and is present now and forever. The Christian who believes in the First Commandment is a monotheist. This he virtually unites with the Jew's belief in one God, and 361:12 recognizes that Jesus Christ is not God, as Jesus himself declared, but is the Son of God. This declaration of Jesus, understood, conflicts not at all with another of his 361:15 sayings: "I and my Father are one," - that is, one in quality, not in quantity. As a drop of water is one with the ocean, a ray of light one with the, sun, even so God 361:18 and man, Father and son, are one in being. The Scrip- ture reads: "For in Him we live, and move, and have our being." 361:21 I have revised /Science and Health/ only to give a clearer and fuller expression of its original meaning. Spir- itual ideas unfold as we advance. A human perception of 361:24 divine Science, however limited, must be correct in order to be Science and subject to demonstration. A germ of in- finite Truth, though least in the kingdom of heaven is the 361:27 higher hope on earth, but it will be rejected and reviled until God prepares the soil for the seed. That which when sown bears immortal fruit, enriches mankind only 361:30 when it is understood, - hence the many readings given the Scriptures, and the requisite revisions of /Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures/. CHAPTER XII - CHRISTIAN SCIENCE PRACTICE Why art thou cast down, O my soul [sense]? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise Him, Who is the health of my countenance and my God. - PSALMS. And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name shall they cast out devils: they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. - JESUS.
