Get to Know God - a 28-day Project - Epilogue

30/10/2013

This is not the end, it is just the beginning!  Keep asking questions!  Here's one more:
"Question. — What is God?
Answer. — God is incorporeal, divine, supreme, infinite Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, Love.
Question. — Are these terms synonymous?
Answer. — They are. They refer to one absolute God. They are also intended to express the nature, essence, and wholeness of Deity. The attributes of God are justice, mercy, wisdom, goodness, and so on."  (SH 465:8-15)


   We have just scratched the infinitesimal surface of a new point of view on how to Get to Know God.   We only explored 4 qualities for each synonym for God and there are a whole lot more!  If you wish to continue to your exploration of God in this way, here is a list of several more qualities organized under the seven synonyms for God.
If you really want to deepen your understanding of God in this way, I urge you to get the comprehensive work on this subject, Science and Health With Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy which can be purchased online.  Or, if you want to buy one at a bookstore and be able to chat with someone about it, check your local White or Yellow Pages listings for a Christian Science Reading Room near you.


If you just want someone to talk to about it, don't hesitate to contact me and we can continue the conversation.


Above all, have fun Getting to Know God!!

Get to Know God - a 28-day Project - Summary:  God is Mind

29/10/2013

Summary:  God is Mind
“God is wise and powerful!  Praise him forever and ever.  He controls the times and the seasons;
he makes and unmakes kings; it is he who gives wisdom and understanding.  He reveals things that are deep and secret; he knows what is hidden in darkness, and he himself is surrounded by light. (GNT, Dan 2:20-22)
Reflection:  We can be thankful that the supremely wise intelligence of the universe is in control, is the divine Truth, and is entirely separate from the discord of the human mind.  When we have but one Mind, God, this Mind forms its own likeness in us, and we can then express this soundness in our lives.

Spiritual Fact:  “When we fully understand our relation to the Divine, we can have no other Mind but His, — no other Love, wisdom, or Truth, no other sense of Life, and no consciousness of the existence of matter or error.”  (SH 205:32)

“Mind is God. The exterminator of error is the great truth that God, good, is the only Mind, and that the supposititious opposite of infinite Mind  — called devil or evil — is not Mind, is not Truth, but error, without intelligence or reality. There can be but one Mind, because there is but one God”.  (SH 469:13-18)

Tomorrow, the Epilogue
