Bible Study Questions for February 9th, 2019

Saturday at 10:00am EST

“The Scriptures are very sacred. Our aim must be to have them understood spiritually, for only by this understanding can truth be gained. The true theory of the universe, including man, is not in material history but in spiritual development. Inspired thought relinquishes a material, sensual, and mortal theory of the universe, and adopts the spiritual and immortal.

“It is this spiritual perception of Scripture, which lifts humanity out of disease and death and inspires faith. … Christian Science separates error from truth, and breathes through the sacred pages the spiritual sense of life, substance, and intelligence”
