Day 192: Sin & Sickness

379-381:7

In this reading, Mary Baker Eddy works to break the barrier between the idea of healing sickness and the idea of healing sin. Or maybe she takes it one step further in applying the concept of prevention to both. Anyway, the point is that they are, in Christian Science, indistinguishable and just errors of mind.

Half way through the first sentence, I mentally finished it although not from memory but just working it out myself:

If disease can attack and control the body without the consent of mortals, sin can do the same, for both are errors, announced as partners in the beginning.

Then some fuzzy editing at the bottom of page 379:

Fevers are errors of various types…drawn on the body by a mortal mind.

Then the instructions from MBE that I need to follow better:

Be no more willing so suffer the illusion that you are sick or that some disease is developing in the system, than you are to yield to a sinful temptation on the ground that sin has its necessities.
