Humanity misled by a false personality
My reading of this week's Lesson Sermon on Soul and Body has been enlightened by the short chapter "Personal Statements" in our book Unity of Good by Mary Baker Eddy.
We read here that "humanity was misled by a false personality, - a talking snake" who "taught the opposite of Truth." Eddy refers to "human theories", "philosophy", and "human wisdom" including anatomy and physiology, as all being mistaken. The mistake, she reasons, is in believing that God made and knows evil.
Eddy logically argues the case and finally proclaims: "All that can exist is God and His idea" (p. 47). The serpent is silenced.
