Norman Wood, USAF (Ret), Burke, VA 22015 For week of August 29 – September 4, 2011 SUBJECT: MAN Colvin, Charles A., “Man,” Sentinel, Vol. 22 (29 November 1919), p. 244. --MAN is the complete expression of God, or, as Mrs. Eddy so profoundly states on page 591 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" in her definition of man, "the compound idea of infinite Spirit; the spiritual image and likeness of God; the full representation of Mind." • Down through the ages mortals have been taught that the real man is a human product and that man is subject to all the ills of the flesh; subject to sickness and death. It is appalling to think of the centuries of such erroneous thinking about man,—thinking of him only as a physical product with its attending ills and limitations,—and to declare that such a product is the image and likeness of God. --When Jesus saw those who came to him for healing he looked beyond human physicality, beyond the material sense testimony to the real man. He beheld man as "idea" and instinctively knew that man, idea, the expression of God, is never absent, hence there is no place for anything expressing discord or any condition apart from God, good. • "In this perfect man the Saviour saw God's own likeness, and this correct view of man healed the sick" (Science and Health, p. 477). SECTION III: The Pharaoh fears the growth of the Israelites, and decrees the death of all male babies (Ex 1: 7-9, 22) TIME LINE AND AUTHOR: Passed down by oral traditions but attributed to Moses, 1445-1405 BC.
