"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."
Intelligence means with understanding.Error is without intelligence or reality. It is dumb, a liar and isn’t real. Why do we listen to its lies? It doesn’t say anything useful or helpful. It tries to pull us down. Error doesn’t know anything!
We have the remedy. Replace these lies with the Truth and they exterminate the error. Exterminate means to destroy utterly; to drive away. It wipes out our belief in its reality. When it says, “I am sick” we can replace it with “God made man perfect.” When it says “we don’t have time,” we can replace it with “I have time to do what God wants me to do.” It is simple to wipe out the error because it is unreal and powerless! God, good, is the only Mind.
Thank God for Christian Science.

Re: Error is without intelligence or reality
Thank you Sharon for sharing your thinking on this subject. I'm sure you meant to key error (not intelligence) means without understanding.

Re: Error is without intelligence or reality
What a nice response. How useful that our posts can be edited! If I had it to do again, though, I would just let it go. Your intent was pretty clear.
