What is astronomy?
What is astrology?
One of these helps us learn about the stars and the universe, ___________.
The other is a mask for a belief in many gods, ______________.
King Darius of Babylon believed in the one God. How did he get tricked into signing a decree meant to harm those who served the one God, especially Daniel? What happened to Daniel? Read the story in Daniel 6
Why wasn’t Daniel harmed? Dan. 6: 23-24.
Daniel felt safe in the lion/s den because he understood “the __________ which __________ held over all.” SH 514: 26
Are lions a natural enemy to man? ____ A negative mental influence called h_________
tries to make them enemies, tries to establish a__________ m___________ which is another name for m________ m________. SH 103: 18-19.
Animal magnetism // mortal mind is only a f________ belief that m_______ is in m________ and is both evil and good. God, immortal M________ protects and delivers humans and causes the lies of m________ m________ to self-destruct. SH 103: 22-28.
Maybe we could say that the lies of mortal mind are like the early morning fog. The fog ‘self-destructs’ as the sun shines brighter. ‘Sun’ is the symbol of Soul governing man.
See SH Glossary.
I say thank you to Mary Baker Eddy for exposing and naming the enemy that would destroy us as is was supposed to destroy Daniel. That enemy is a b________ in more than one M_________, more than one God. God is o____________ so there is nothing that can harm man who is in God’s care. Omni-potent means _____ ________.
To be very sure I don’t get tricked by a belief in evil, here is what I say and remember about God: II Sam. 22: 33.
How did this evil belief called mortal mind // animal magnetism try to trick Jesus when he went into the wilderness after he was baptized? Matt. 4: 1-4, 8-11.
Jesus did not get tricked by the t__________, alias the d________, because Jesus, like Daniel, trusted the protective armor of his innocence. Both were ‘innocent’ because they refused to believe in more than one power, more than one God. Jesus trusted his F_______-M________ to send a________. These are t_________ from God that protect and direct us in every situation. Does God also send angels to you? ______
What temptation do you have to resist? SH 218: 25
Evil has only the power to ________ ________. SH 186: 19-20
To ‘denounce’ something is to reject it completely and reject it with authority. Jesus denounced danger when the people in the synagogue got very angry with him. Why were they angry and how did Jesus escape? Luke 4: 14, 23-30.
One time the Apostle Paul denounced the ‘danger’ of a snake bite. What happened?
See Acts 28: 3, 5.
Man and lions are not natural enemies. Are man and snakes natural enemies? _____
Is evil a power: ______
Christian Science makes plain that “Mankind ______ ________ that evil is not power.
Its so-called ______________ is but a phase of ______________.” SH 102: 30-3
Is it safe to ignore evil and danger? ______
If you try to pretend that evil and danger are not a problem then they will seem to have more presence and more power until you denounce them as untrue because not created by Truth, God.
I am safe at all times if I am remembering that God, Good, is all p________, all p_________, all action. SH 587: 19-20.give us a definition of ________.

Do people in our world today still believe in ‘gods’? _____Today these ‘gods’ have other names, for example, mat_______, s______, dis_________, and d________.
It seems that people today do not believe in ‘immortals.’ Most people believe that every man will d_____ because s/he is a m________, and mortals die.
Mary Baker Eddy heard God telling her something very different: man is God’s reflection therefore cannot die. Is this like what God told Christ Jesus to say, “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.”_______? Matt. 5: 48. Man cannot die. Man is as alive as her Creator Mind!
Be perfect; man does not die. These are not impossible expectations. These demands illustrate ‘science’ and science is the ________ of being which includes demons_______. Not demons but demonstration!
Does demonstration mean changing the human or material situation? ______ What a surprise that the answer is ______. Demonstration is the mental action you take, mentally accepting and holding on to the truth that God is the only Creator and always in control. As I take that mental action, physical healing is the result. The human and ‘material’ problem is corrected, dismissed, healed.

But Jesus said, “Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she ________ ________.” See verse 47-48. Love is immortality.
What does this story mean for you and me? Perhaps it means this. I can do what Jesus did. “Jesus beheld in ________ the perfect man, who appeared to him where sinning mortal man appears to mortals. SH 476: 32. What is ‘Science’? _________________
Science and Health says, “the way to extract error from mortal mind is to pour in truth through flood-tides _____ ________.” SH 201: 17

You were born because God had a wonderful idea and expressed it (manifested it)
as you! Thank you Father-Mother God. John 1: 12 as, 13.
You are the son of God – immortal -- if you are led (governed) by the Spirit of God.

Christian Science asks a question which we also need to ask: “Can there be any birth or death for man, the spiritual image and likeness of God? ______ SH 206: 25-28.

Adam and Fallen Man
Adam and Fallen Man 11-8-09 Sara Lincoln
Many people over hundreds of years have written stories, ‘histories,’ of creation from their own point of view. ‘Point of view’ means ………
Mary Baker Eddy studied the Bible for many years and listened for God’s Word (Truth) about the creation and nature of man. What were her conclusions:
*God is G_____ and the only C_____
*A perfect God can make only a p______ man and universe
*God keeps on being God so God’s creations do not, cannot, fail or fall away.
For hundreds of years before Mary Baker Eddy wrote the book that helps us understand Creator and Creation, people were asking, ‘Who was the first man? Who was the first woman?’ These people already had a point of view (a belief) before they asked the question. They believed that man is mortal, material, and disobedient, with a mind of his own. The creation stories they wrote were true to these beliefs.
The Adam and Eve story was probably written about 1000 BCE. At that time, the Hebrews were a strong nation and D_______ was their King. Over the next 900 years, prophets faithful to the one God gave the Hebrew people a better understanding of God. Who were some of these prophets? Let’s look again at our Bible Time Line.
A spiritual account of creation, Genesis 1, was written about 500 BCE. In this true history, Spirit-God reveals a spiritual expression of itself, a spiritual creation where man and woman have d__________ and are declared to be g______, not fallen.
Gen. 1: 26, 27, 31. Would our good parent God let its children become ‘bad’ or ‘fallen’?__
Mortalnomind is the star of the untrue history and tries to get people to believe it.
Is it successful?______ Do many (most) people believe they are mortal? ______
Mortalnomind believes itself, but woman/man (like Abraham) looks higher for a heavenly view. Do you remember how Abraham became the first man to look for a heavenly view, to know and serve the one God? God told him to leave…………….…………...….and go to…………….…………….….. Gen. 12: 1.
In the Old Testament, Abraham, Moses, and many prophets obeyed God’s call to teach the people the truth about the One God. Who was the great teacher of this great truth in the New Testament? ______________ He received and held on to the Truth.
Now, C__________ and C___________ S_____________ receive and hold on to this truth by learning about God from the ________ and from ________________________.
The Apostle Paul explained what it means to ‘hold on’: “If we ________ in the Spirit, let us also ________ in the Spirit.” Gal. 5: 25.
This book is called Galatians because it was P______ letter to the church in G_________.
Our textbook says, “________ is the cement of civilization and progress.” SH 57: 1
‘Chastity’ means ……………
This declaration about progress is in the chapter on ___________. Does that mean that chastity applies only to married people? _______
Do you remember the story of Naaman? He was a captain in the Syrian army and he also had a skin disease called leprosy. See how much of this story you can tell in your own words, then read the story in II Kings 5: 1-4, 9-14.
Was Naaman healed by ‘dipping himself seven times’ in the Jordan River? ______
Who are the main characters in this story? Naaman; the prophet __________; A little ______; and Naaman’s servants who said “…________ and be clean.” Verse 13.
It looked like Naaman had fallen into a bad habit of pride and belief in disease.
Did God still love Naaman? _____ How do you know? ………
Why does Christian Science teach “the nothingness of sin, sickness, and death?”
SH 345: 6-13.
The Psalmist warns us: “Cease from ________, and forsake ________: fret not thyself in any wise to _____ ______.” Ps. 37: 8.
Is it OK to be angry? ______ Science and Health says (406: 19) “Resist evil – error of every sort – and it will flee from you.” How do you ‘resist evil’?.........
What do you think are very harmful attitudes and actions? For example, anger, selfishness…..
Mary Baker Eddy says many things about sin, but maybe this statement sums it up:
“It is a sin to believe that aught can overpower omnipotent and eternal Life, and this Life must be brought to light by the understanding that there is no death, as well as by other graces of Spirit.” SH 428: 32
About 800 years ago, the Christian church named seven sins which were later called the seven ‘deadly sins:’ pride, covetousness, lust anger, gluttony, envy, sloth.
The wise people writing the book of Proverbs, King Solomon and others, also listed ‘seven things the Lord hates’ (Prov. 6: 16-19): a proud _______; a lying _________; ______ that shed innocent blood; a _______{mind} that devises wicked plans; ________ that make haste to run to evil. a _______ __________ that speaketh lies;
a man who _____ _________ among brothers.
What special thing did you notice about the book of Proverbs on the Bible Time Line?
What was the name of the man who betrayed Jesus with a kiss? ______ Which of the ‘deadly sins’ influenced him?......... He had fallen into some bad habits, like gr_______ and jeal__________. Maybe he was angry that he wasn’t as pure as his Master. He did not overcome these ungodlike habits with spiritual convictions such as gen____________, gra____________, and unself____________
Was Judas a ‘fallen man’? ________
Everyone must ‘…wake to the ________ ___ ________’ so that what will cease? …..
SH 218: 32.
What is a main reason for studying this subject of Adam and Fallen Man twice a year?

Mary Baker Eddy studied the Bible for many years and listened for God’s Word (Truth) about the creation and nature of man. What were her conclusions:
