RELIGION NOTES | Christian Science Church of Whidbey addresses the ‘myth’ of Adam


November 2, 2012 · Updated 2:11 PM 

On Sunday, Nov. 4, the Christian Science church service focuses on the myth of Adam as the first human life. “The parent of all human discord was the Adam-dream, the deep sleep, in which originated the delusion that life and intelligence proceeded from and passed into matter.” (Science and Health).

The Bible advises that it’s time to wake from such delusion: “…now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.” (Romans 13:11)

Everyone is welcome at this service that analyzes the differences between the good God created and the myth (second creation) that we are separate from spiritual perfection. Services begin at 10:30 a.m. at 15910 Highway 525, just north of Bayview and across from Useless Bay Road. For more information, call 321-1630.
