Excerpts from my new book, a briefer narrative<\/a> of Mary Baker Eddy’s “Science and Health.”<\/p>\n

Q.<\/span><\/strong> What is error?<\/span><\/p>\n

A.<\/span> Error is a term used to describe human beliefs or <\/span>incomplete<\/span>, immature concepts. Error is the contradiction of Truth. It\u2019s a lack of understanding. Error is that which seems to be and is not. There is no such thing as erroneous truth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q.<\/span> What about sin?<\/span><\/p>\n

A.<\/span> Sin isn\u2019t a word to be used loosely. It has more to do with mental conditions rather than human lifestyles or mannerisms. Classify sin as an effect of error, or the mistaken thinking that works against God, Life.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

God is sinless and can\u2019t create or allow sin. Human beings have a difficult time grasping sinless reality <\/span>because of the awful fact that unrealities seem real to human beings. God strips off the disguises of sin.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n

As we better understand God as divine Principle, Love\u2014rather than classify human lifestyles or <\/span>behavior<\/span>s as sinful or not\u2014we can establish, by demonstration, the sinless Soul.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q.<\/span> What is person?<\/span><\/p>\n

A.<\/span> The identity of individuals must be like Spirit, unchangeable good. We aren\u2019t made up of ever-changing brain, blood, bones, and other physical elements. Person is idea, the image of perfect Love. Individuals have no mind separate from God. We have not one quality underived from Truth. Person is incapable of sin, sickness, and death. Not one element of error can penetrate spiritual individuality.<\/span><\/p>\n
