"One infinite God, good..."

The last passage in S&H (340: 16-29) is one of my favorites. This time reading it, though, I spent a bit more time with the latter part and expanded it:

One infinite God, good, unifies men and nations

One infinite God, good, constitutes the brotherhood of man

One infinite God, good, ends wars

One infinite God, good, fulfill the Scripture, "Love thy neighbor as thyself"

One infinite God, good, annihilates pagan and Christian idolatry

One infinite God, good, annihilates whatever is wrong in social, civil, criminal, political, and religious codes

One infinite God, good, equalizes the sexes

One infinite God, good, annuls the curse on man and leaves nothing that can sin, suffer, be punished or destroyed.

"The First Commandment is my favorite text. It demonstrates Christian Science." Mrs. Eddy says. This gives much food for thought!

Re: 'One infinite God, good...'

Thank you Susanne, it is good to see the tremendous results of obeying the 1st Commandment listed one by one and to realize how powerful and all-inclusive it is!
