3 Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy - (1) 568:9 11 In (1) 568:9 11 In Genesis, first the true method of creation is set forth and then the false. (2) 523:14 27 (2) 523:14 27 Distinct documents It may be worth while here to remark that, according to the best scholars, there are clear evidences of two distinct documents in the early part of the book of Genesis. One is called the Elohistic, because the Supreme Being is therein called Elohim. The other document is called the Jehovistic, because Deity therein is always called Jehovah, or Lord God, as our common version translates it. Jehovah or Elohim Throughout the first chapter of Genesis and in three verses of the second, in what we understand to be the spiritually scientific account of creation, it is Elohim (God) who creates. From the fourth verse of chapter two to chapter five, the creator is called Jehovah, or the Lord. 值 ( ) (3) 587:5 (3) 587:5 G OD. The great I AM ;; the all-knowing, all-seeing, all-acting, all-wise, all-loving, and eternal;; Principle;; Mind;; Soul;; Spirit;; Life;; Truth;; Love;; all substance;; intelligence. : (4) 590:20 1 (4) 590:20 1 L ORD G OD. Jehovah. This double term is not used in the first chapter of Genesis, the record of spiritual creation. It is introduced in the second and following chapters, when the spiritual sense of God and of infinity is disappearing from the recorder s thought, when the true scientific statements of the Scriptures become clouded through a physical sense of God as finite and corporeal. (5) 522:3 (5) 522:3 The two records The Science of the first record proves the falsity of the second. If one is true, the other is false, for they are antagonistic. The first record assigns all might and government to God, and endows man out of God s perfection and power. The second record chronicles man Adam and Fallen Man, - Chinese, traditional 3

(6) 521:5 (6) 521:5 Spiritual narrative All that is made is the work of God, and all is good. We leave this brief, glorious history of spiritual creation (as stated in the first chapter of Genesis) in the hands of God, not of man, in the keeping of Spirit, not matter, joyfully acknowledging now and forever God s supremacy, omnipotence, and omnipresence. 啟 ) ( 2 2 Bible (6) Genesis 5:1 (to.)

5 parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. 6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, 7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing. 6 7 Science and Health (7) 545:31 1 (7) 545:31 1 As in Adam [error] all die, even so in Christ [Truth] shall all be made alive.

And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. 14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field;; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 1, :? 2 :,, (19) II Corinthians 11:3 I fear (19) 11:3 3 I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 3 (20) Mark 8:27 Jesus (to :) (20) 8:27 ( ) 27 Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Cæsarea Philippi: 27 (21) Luke 10:1, (21) 10:1, After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. 1 Adam and Fallen Man, - Chinese, traditional 8

(22) 564:24 26 (22) 564:24 26 From Genesis to the Apocalypse, sin, sickness, and death, envy, hatred, and revenge, all evil, are typified by a serpent, or animal subtlety.
