Mary Baker Eddy quotes
Mary Baker Eddy was an American religious leader and the founder of Christian Science. Her teachings emphasized the power of prayer and spiritual healing. She inspired generations by advocating the unity of faith, health, and mind. Here are 35 of her quotes:
It is plain that God does not employ drugs or hygiene, nor provide them for human use; else Jesus would have recommended and employed them in his healing. The sick are more deplorably lost than the sinning, if the sick cannot rely on God for help and the sinning can. ... The universal belief in physics weighs against the high and mighty truths of Christian metaphysics. This erroneous general belief, which sustains medicine and produces all medical results, works against Christian Science[. ] ... If we would heal by the Spirit, we must not hide the talent of spiritual healing under the napkin of its form[. ] ... The tender word and Christian encouragement of an invalid, pitiful patience with his fears and the removal of them, are better than hecatombs of gushing theories, stereotyped borrowed speeches, and the doling of arguments, which are but so many parodies on legitimate Christian Science, aflame with divine Love.
Mary Baker Eddy
One sacrifice, however great, is insufficient to pay the debt of sin. The atonement requires constant self-immolation on the sinner's part. That God's wrath should be vented upon His beloved Son, is divinely unnatural. Such a theory is man-made. ... The material blood of Jesus was no more efficacious to cleanse from sin when it was shed upon ‘the accursed tree,' than when it was flowing in his veins as he went daily about his Father's business. ... His disciples believed Jesus to be dead while he was hidden in the sepulchre, whereas he was alive.
