In our earlier experiences, we strive to produce harmonious matter — at ease in sense.  In Science, matter gives us no rest or harmony.  We reach our basis of harmony in Mind only.  Mary Baker Eddy

(Carpenter, Gilbert, Fragments  Gathered From Unpublished Items Ascribed To Mary Baker  Eddy, p.73)

Mortal mind is to be denied; Spirit overcomes it.  We must cease to admit in our thinking the reality and power in themselves of sin, sickness and death, of misery, pain, evil in all forms; and we must steadfastly and persistently think the Truth which stands opposite to them.  We do in this way overcome discordant conditions of consciousness now.  Everyone who persists in this course many times each day will have signs of the lessening of all evil.   Mary Baker Eddy

(Oakes, Richard, Course In Divinity and General Collectanea, p.267)

     The sweet and spiritual significance of the death on the cross, is Love laying down all of earth to instruct its enemies the way to heaven, proving what heaven is, and how obtained. We speak of the blood of Jesus as efficacious to save sinners; it is the efficacy of the Truth and Love that Jesus taught and demonstrated, which alone can destroy sin; and sinners are never saved. The blood of Christ was an offering of Spirit and not matter, a pledge of undying Love. O! highest conceptions of spiritual sense tell us, what is Love.  (Eddy, Mary Baker, Science and Health, 1st ed., 313)

The time is not far distant when our theological views of atonement will undergo as radical a change as those have already done regarding a bottomless pit, burning with fire and brimstone, and the election and fore-ordination of a portion to be saved or be lost. But for these false views regarding the forgiveness of sin, ministers and laymen would never break the commandment, “Thou shalt not commit adultery,” and then talk of their love for God, and Christian experience.  (Eddy, Mary Baker, Science and Health, 1st ed., p.312-313)

The blood of that righteous man shed by sinners, was a crime that affords no ground for further sin or a belief of its pardon, it was an injustice to humanity that the best man should be sacrificed by the worst men. Jesus taught the way of escape from sin, but that all that sinneth shall die, in other words, that sin must be destroyed. Wisdom punishes, instead of pardons, sin. The terrible effect of our false views regarding the atonement, is to make a sinner less fearful to sin, believing a tear or a prayer will secure its pardon; this heightens hypocrisy and suffocates conscience.  (Eddy, Mary Baker, Science and Health, 1st ed., p,312)

     Jesus never ransomed man, by paying the debt sin incurs; whosoever sins must suffer. This Christian martyr suffered for the Truth, that destroyed error, and while it blessed the whole world, was that for which it hated him; even the sinner must learn Truth, by the things he suffers. Love is no compromise with sin, and pays no debt of its contracting; but it can and does point out the way to escape from it and reach the harmony and science of being.  (Eddy, Mary Baker, Science and Health, 1st ed., p.312)

Your joy no man can take from you, and your peace no woman can take from you; the masculine thought (in the mortal) representing sensuality, brutality, animality, etc., etc. Jesus often spoke of his joy and peace, which also should be enjoyed by his followers, and which the world could not give, neither take away.  Mary Baker Eddy

(Oakes, Richard, Course In Divinity and General Collectanea, p.267)

And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake. — 

Luke xi. 14 – 7 

     It is of infinite importance to man’s spiritual progress, and to his demonstration of Truth in casting out error,  — sickness, sin, disease, and death, in all their forms, —  that the terms and nature of Deity and devil be understood.  (Eddy, Mary Baker, Miscellaneous Writings, 190:6-9)
