SAVED C on tinued the belief of these Bible teachers. I could not believe that Jesus was God. I was taught that He was a good Man, the Way-shower, the Exemplar. When I completed this study and analyzed what I had found, I was astonished. Jesus Christ claimed to be God. I could hardly believe this. I went over the Scriptures again. I could not honestly draw any other conclusion. My interest now extend ed to the rest of the New Testa ment. What did the disciples believe about Him? At this point I analyzed my feel ings. I had no desire to condemn Mary Baker Eddy for her teachings. I did not want to deny what she wrote, but I could not defend what she declared to be the truth. The healings I had witnessed were no criterion because I was now dealing in eternal values. The teachings of Christian Science and the teachings of the Bible could not both be true. There was on extremely important difference and this had to be re solved. I read again Mary Baker Eddy’s definition of God (page 587: 5-8): “ God: The Great I AM: the all-knowing, all-seeing, all-wise, all- loving, and eternal; Principle; Mind; Soul; Spirit; Life; Truth; Love; all substance; intelligence.” To my ut ter amazement the personal claims Jesus Christ made for Himself and the declaration of the disciples as to who Jesus Christ was completely fulfilled Mary Baker Eddy’s defini tion of God. By her own definition Jesus Christ qualified to be God! Now my heart and mind were pre pared to ask God to reveal to me what He would have me to know concerning Jesus Christ. (Continued on page UO)
