The scientific statement of being
There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter. All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all. Spirit is immortal Truth; matter is mortal error. Spirit is the real and eternal; matter is the unreal and temporal. Spirit is God, and man is His image and likeness. Therefore man is not material; he is spiritual.
From Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures
by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 468:9–15
They deny
1. existence of matter
2. redefine all theological terms
3. Sin is not real
From Science and Health
ADAM. Error; a falsity; the belief in “original sin,”sickness, and death; evil; the opposite of good, — of Godand His creation; a curse; a belief in intelligent matter,
DAN (Jacob’s son). Animal magnetism; so-called mortal mind controlling mortal mind; error, working outthe designs of error; one belief preying upon another.
DEATH. An illusion, the lie of life in matter; the unreal and untrue; the opposite of Life.Matter has no life, hence it has no real existence. Mindis immortal. The flesh, warring against Spirit; thatwhich frets itself free from one belief only to be fetteredby another, until every belief of life where Life is notyields to eternal Life. Any material evidence of death isfalse, for it contradicts the spiritual facts of being.
Jesus. The highest human corporeal concept of thedivine idea, rebuking and destroying error and bringingto light man’s immortality.
MortTAL MIND. Nothing claiming to be something,for Mind is immortal; mythology; error creating othererrors; a suppositional material sense, alias the belief that sensation is in matter, which is sensationless; a belief that life, substance, and intelligence are in and ofmatter; the opposite of Spirit, and therefore the oppositeof God, or good; the belief that life has a beginningand therefore an end; the belief that man is the offspring of mortals; the belief that there can be more thanone creator; idolatry; the subjective states of error;material senses; that which neither exists in Science norcan be recognized by the spiritual sense; sin; sickness;death.
