Sin"So, are you saying that as a Religious Scientist one first conceives of sin and then one feels this sin, or... ?" I sought to understand how sin came into the picture. Dr. Hornaday, at this point, added: "Dr. Holmes always believed that a sin was a missing of the mark, which was the actual Anglo-Saxon meaning, used in archery when an arrow missed its target. Dr. Holmes stated, ‘There is no sin, but there is a mistake; and there is no punishment, but a consequence.'" "And these consequences are given from out of this one universal love, which guides and teaches us through our mistakes?" I questioned. "Dr. Holmes said, ‘God neither punishes nor rewards. Life is a blessing or a curse according to the use we make of it. We believe in a law that governs all things and all people. If we make mistakes, we suffer."’ |
