The Religio-Medical Masquerade: A Complete Exposure of Christian Science
Peabody, Frederick William
Christian Science -- Controversial literature
“I know of no better counsel than Jesus gave to His disciples
when He sent them forth to cast out devils and heal the sick,
and thus in practice to preach the Truth, ‘Be ye wise as
serpents and harmless as doves.’ Never get into a passion, but
in patience possess ye your soul, and at length you weary out
the discord and produce harmony by your _Truth destroying
error_. Then it is you get the case. Now if you are not afraid
to face the error and argue it down, then you can heal the
sick.”
Eddy:
“When we come to have more faith in the Truth of Being than we
have in error, more faith in spirit than in matter, then no
material conditions can prevent us from healing the sick and
_destroying error through Truth_.”—Page 367, edition of 1898.
“We classify disease as error, which nothing but Truth or Mind
can heal.”—Page 427, edition of 1898.
“Discord is the nothingness of error. Harmony is the
somethingness of Truth.”—Page 172, edition of 1898.
Quimby:
“The patient’s disease is in his belief.”
“Error is sickness. Truth is health.”
Eddy:
“Sickness is part of the error which _Truth casts out_.”—Page
478, edition of 1898.
Quimby:
“In this science the names are given; thus God is Wisdom. This
Wisdom, not an Individuality but a _principle_, embraces every
_idea_ form, of which the idea, man, is the highest,—hence the
image of God, or the Principle.”
Eddy:
“God is the principle of man; and the principle of man
remaining perfect, its idea or reflection—man—remains perfect.”
—Page 466, edition of 1898.
“Man was and is God’s idea.”—Page 231, edition of 1898.
“Man is the idea of divine principle.”—Page 471, edition of
1898.
“What is God? Jehovah is not a person. God is principle.”—Page
169, edition of 1881.
Quimby:
“Understanding is God.”
Eddy:
“Understanding is a quality of God.”—Page 449, edition of 1898.
Quimby:
“All sciences are part of God.”
Eddy:
“All science is of God.”—Page 513, edition of 1898.
Quimby:
“Truth is God.”
“There is no other Truth but God.”
“God is Wisdom.”
“God is Principle.”
Eddy:
“Truth is God.”—Page 183, edition of 1898.
“Truth, God, is not the Father of error.”—Page 469, edition of
1898.
Quimby:
“Wisdom, Love and Truth are the Principle.”
Eddy:
“How can I most rapidly advance in the understanding of
Christian Science? Study thoroughly the letter and imbibe the
spirit. Adhere to its divine Principle, and follow its behests,
abiding steadily in Wisdom, Love, and Truth.”—Page 491, edition
of 1898.
Quimby:
“Error is matter.”
“Matter has no intelligence.”
“To give intelligence to matter is an error which is sickness.”
