(King James Commentary) "There is not a speck of untruth in Scripture." (MacArthur Commentary) Gilmore, Dr. Albert F. (CSB; Editor; President; CSPS Trustee; and Lecturer), "'Thy word is truth,'" EDITORIAL, Christian Science Sentinel (21 September 1921), p. 50. --The mandate or Word of Truth, which is infinite and possessed of all the deific attributes, must be true. • Since God is conscious only of reality, of spiritual, perfect ideas, true and eternal, all that exists likewise partakes of the nature of Truth, is the expression of the divine. ---The Master, under varied circumstances, proved how potent is this fact. • That Truth has lost none of its potency as the agency which regenerates human consciousness and heals mankind, Christian Science is proving hour by hour. ---Christian Scientists do not forget that the possibilities of gaining command of this divine agency are unlimited. Lewis, Harold C., "'How excellent is thy lovingkindness,'" Christian Science Sentinel (7 December 1940), p. 264. --"Lovingkindness" is one of the most beautiful terms in the Bible. • Christian Science teaches that men must learn to understand God's loving-kindness, to have more faith in it, and to depend on it for guidance, in order to overcome the evil which confronts them today.
