Study the Platform XXXIIB of XXXII

Hi, this is Marsha from Loveheals.us
Come study the platform with me from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy in the chapter called Science of Being, page 330. We’ll take one part of the platform each day for the next 32 days. We’ll read the words Mrs. Eddy has given us. Then, I’ll share with you some ideas that have come to me and then you get to share your ideas in the blog online in the comment area below.
If you know anyone who might like to participate in this exercise, please forward this to them to have them subscribe to my website.
If you miss some, you can catch up by going to the menu at the top
called “Study the Platform“.

XXXII. (Basis of health and immortality) (Second part)

This text in the book of Ecclesiastes conveys the Christian Science thought, especially when the word duty, which is not in the original, is omitted: “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.” In other words: Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: love God and keep His commandments: for this is the whole of man in His image and likeness. Divine Love is infinite. Therefore all that really exists is in and of God, and manifests His love.   S&H 340: 4

 Marsha: The idea that comes to me on this second part of the XXXII platform, is the duty of loving God and keeping His commandments – which is natural for man to do.

Mrs. Eddy states in various writings:
‘Tis sweet to remember thee, and God’s Zion, with healing on her wings. May her walls be vocal with salvation; and her gates with praise! Misc Writings 145: 31-3
“So shall all earth’s children at last come to acknowledge God, and be one; inhabit His holy hill, the God-crowned summit of divine Science; My 133: 4  Address at Annual Mtg, June 6, 1899

 “Give us, dear God, again on earth the lost chord of Christ; solace us with the song of angels rejoicing with them that rejoice; that sweet charity which seeketh not her own but another’s good, yea, which knoweth no evil.

Finally, brethren, wait patiently on God; return blessing for cursing; be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good; be steadfast, abide and abound in faith, understanding, and good works; study the Bible and the textbook of our denomination; obey strictly the laws that be, and follow your Leader only so far as she follows Christ.  Message for 1901: 34: 16-2

Christian Science appeals loudly to those asleep upon the hill-tops of Zion. It is a clarion call to the reign of righteousness, to the kingdom of heaven within us and on earth, and Love is the way alway.  Message of 1901, 35: 6

  1. ..all that really exist in God , and manifest his Love …

    One of the meanings of manifest “..made visible “ we are made visible ,made manifest as Gods image and likeness therefore perfect -to know who we really are is revealed as we know God
