If god causes man to be sick, sickness must be good, and its opposite, health, must be evil, for all that he makes is good and will stand forever. if the transgression of god's law produces sickness, it is right to be sick; and we cannot if we would, and should not if we could, annul the decrees of wisdom. it is the transgression of a belief of mortal mind, not of a law of matter nor of divine mind, which causes the belief of sickness. the remedy is truth, not matter,--the truth that disease is unreal.

If God Causes Man To Be Sick,

More From Mary Baker Eddy

No degree of prosperity could justify the accumulation of large amounts of highly toxic substances which nobody knows how to make safe and which remain an incalculable danger to the whole of creation for historical or even geological ages. to do such a thing is a transgression against life itself, a transgression infinitely more serious than any crime perpetrated by man. the idea that a civilization could sustain itself on such a transgression is an ethical, spiritual, and metaphysical monstrosity. it means conducting the economical affairs of man as if people did not matter at all.
Spiritual Mean Men
No sovereign, no court, no personal loyalty, no aristocracy, no church, no clergy, no army, no diplomatic service, no country gentlemen, no palaces, no castles, nor manors, nor old country-houses, nor parsonages, nor thatched cottages nor ivied ruins no cathedrals, nor abbeys, nor little norman churches no great universities nor public schools -- no oxford, nor eton, nor harrow no literature, no novels, no museums, no pictures, no political society, no sporting class -- no epsom nor ascot some such list as that might be drawn up of the absent things in american life.
Loyalty Country School
When one has once accepted and absorbed evil, it no longer demands the unfitness of the means. the ulterior motives with which youabsorb and assimilate evil are not your own but those of evil.... evil is whatever distracts. evil knows of the good, but good does not know of evil. knowledge of oneself is something only evil has. one means that evil has is the dialogue.... one cannot pay evil in installments--and one always keeps on trying to.
Mean Evil Trying
Error is a supposition that pleasure and pain, that intelligence, substance, life, are existent in matter. error is neither mind nor one of mind's faculties. error is the contradiction of truth. error is a belief without understanding. error is unreal because untrue. it is that which stemma to be and is not. if error were true, its truth would be error, and we should have a self-evident absurdity -namely, erroneous truth. thus we should continue to lose the standard of truth.
Life Pain Mistake
I know that every difficulty we face in life, even those that come from our own negligence or even transgression, can be turned by the lord into growth experiences, a virtual ladder upward. i certainly do not recommend transgression as a path to growth. it is painful, difficult, and so totally unnecessary. it is far wiser and so much easier to move forward in righteousness. but through proper repentance, faith in the lord jesus christ, and obedience to his commandments, even the disappointment that comes from transgression can be converted into a return to happiness.
Jesus Disappointment Moving
In obedience to the feeling of reality, we shall insist that, in the analysis of propositions, nothing "unreal" is to be admitted. but, after all, if there is nothing unreal, how, it may be asked, could we admit anything unreal? the reply is that, in dealing with propositions, we are dealing in the first instance with symbols, and if we attribute significance to groups of symbols which have no significance, we shall fall into the error of admitting unrealities, in the only sense in which this is possible, namely, as objects described.
