over faith in words. Its ideas are expressed only in "new
tongues;" and these are interpreted by the translation of
the spiritual original into the language which human
thought can comprehend.
Jesus' disregard of matter
210:5
The Principle and proof of Christianity are discerned
The Principle and proof of Christianity are discerned
by spiritual sense. They are set forth in Jesus' demon-
strations, which show – by his healing the
sick, casting out evils, and destroying death,
"the last enemy that shall be destroyed," –
his disregard of matter and its so-called laws.
210:11
Knowing that Soul and its attributes were forever
Knowing that Soul and its attributes were forever
manifested through man, the Master healed the sick,
gave sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, feet to the

healed sickness and sin by one and the same metaphysical

The expression mortal mind is really a solecism, for
Mind is immortal, and Truth pierces the error of mortality
as a sunbeam penetrates the cloud. Because,

called mortal mind which voices this and ap-
pears to itself to make good its claim. To
mortal sense, sin and suffering are real, but immortal
sense includes no evil nor pestilence. Because immortal
sense has no error of sense, it has no sense of error; there-
fore it is without a destructive element.
