Quotes from the same author

Father-Mother is the name for Deity.
 Mary Baker Eddy
Man and woman as coexistent and eternal with God forever reflect, in glorified quality, the infinite Father-Mother God.
 Mary Baker Eddy
A wicked mortal is not the idea of God. He is little else than the expression of error. To suppose that sin, lust, hatred, envy, hypocrisy, revenge, have life abiding in them, is a terrible mistake. Life and Life's idea, Truth and Truth's idea, never make men sick, sinful, or mortal.
 Mary Baker Eddy
The prayer that reforms the sinner and heals the sick is an absolute faith that all things are possible to God.
 Mary Baker Eddy
Error is a supposition that pleasure and pain, that intelligence, substance, life, are existent in matter. Error is neither Mind nor one of Mind's faculties. Error is the contradiction of Truth. Error is a belief without understanding. Error is unreal because untrue. It is that which stemma to be and is not. If error were true, its truth would be error, and we should have a self-evident absurdity -namely, erroneous truth. Thus we should continue to lose the standard of Truth.
