It was in the last decade of the nineteenth cent. that the two most complete concordances were issued, but these were preceded by two smaller but valuable works, one by the distinguished Bible scholar, John Eadie (1810-1876), An Analytical Concordance to the Holy Scriptures (London, 1857).
In his own study, Chuck also uses the New American Standard Bible for its nearly word-for-word translation from the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts into English. Other translations offer a looser, more contemporary rendering, which can be helpful to clarify meaning. Both styles are helpful as you seek a fuller, more complete grasp of the Holy Scriptures in your Bible study.
Due to Strong's numbers it became possible to translate concordances from one language into another. Thus, the Russian concordance of 30,000 words from the Russian Thompson Study Bible ("Новая учебная Библия Томпсона", La Buona Novella Inc, 2010, edition made by the Christian society "The Bible for everyone" in St.Petersburg, Russia) is a translation of the English concordance from Thompson Chain-Reference Bible (The New Thompson Study Bible, La Buona Novella Inc. & B.B. Kirkbride Bible Company, Inc., 2006). In the process of compiling the Russian concordance, the Hebrew/Greek word corresponding to the English concordance word was found, and then its Russian equivalent in the Russian Synodal translation of the Bible was added to the resulting Russian concordance text.
Strongest Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible Larger Print Edition is a complete and readable concordance that allows for precise and accurate word study. Absent of all the cluttering bells-and-whistles (and the monthly fee) of a software package, this is ideal for your library.
In 1604 King James I of England commissioned a new translation of the Bible based upon the Textus Receptus because the critical text that all other modern translations are based upon had not been discovered yet. The work was done by 47 Bible scholars of the Church of England and was completed in 1611.
This study has several limitations. First, it reflects experience in one Canadian province, and the relatively small cohort of individuals may have limited the power of our analysis. Second, we examined those alive at 42 months, a portion of whom were likely living with recurrence and for whom intensive follow-up was therefore no longer appropriate. However, this is not likely to have led to an underestimation of guideline concordance, as liver imaging and CEA tests are also used in the management of metastatic disease. Guideline concordance rates of those who died during follow-up did not differ from rates among survivors, suggesting that this choice of sample did not introduce any systematic bias in our findings. Third, the follow-up period started at the end of the 6th month after diagnosis for all patients, which represented a middle ground in a cohort where not all patients received adjuvant therapies. Calculating individual completion dates for treatment would be a preferable approach for assessing CEA testing, which is not recommended during fluorouracil-based chemotherapy, but was not possible. Fourth, examining cohorts in subsequent years may show improved concordance because of more opportunity for guideline uptake, although such a pattern is not always demonstrated.34 Fifth, a certain degree on nonconcordance may reflect appropriate care of individuals considered too ill for further curative-intent surgery. Last, health services research of this sort can address neither the physician and patient beliefs and behaviors nor the systemic factors that may be at play in influencing test performance.
How would you define Christian Science? 1
AS the lawof God, the law of good, interpreting and
demonstrating the divine Principle and ruleof 3
universalharmony.
What is the Principle of ChristianScience?
It is God, the Supreme Being, infinite and immortal 6
Mind, the Soul of man and the universe. It is ourFather
which is in heaven. It is substance, Spirit, Life, Truth,
and Love, --these are the deific Principle. 9
Do you mean by this that God is aperson?
The word person affords a large margin for misappre-
hension, aswell as definition. In French the equivalent 12
wordis personne. In Spanish, Italian, and Latin, itis
persona. The Latin verb personare is compounded of
theprefix per (through) and sonare (to sound). 15
In law, Blackstone applies the wordpersonal to bodily
presence, in distinction from one's appearance (incourt,
for example) by deputy or proxy. 18
Otherdefinitions of person, as give by Webster, are 1
"a living soul; a self-conscious being; a moral agent;
especially, aliving human being, a corporeal man, woman, 3
or child; anindividual of the human race." He adds,
that among Trinitarian Christians the wordstands for one
of the three subjects, or agents, constituting the Godhead. 6
In Christian Science we learn that God is definitely indi-
vidual and not a person, as that word is used by the best
authorities, ifour lexicographers are right in defining 9
person asespecially a finite human being; but God is
personal, if by person ismeant infinite Spirit.
We do not conceive rightly of God, if we think of Him 12
as less than infinite. The human person isfinite; and
therefore I prefer to retain the proper sense of Diety by
using thephrase an individual God rather than a per- 15
sonal God; for there is and can be but on infinite indi-
vidual spirit, who mortals have named God.
Science defines the individualityof God as supreme 18
good, Life, Truth,Love. This term enlarges our sense
of Diety, takes away the trammels assigned toGod by
finite though, and introduces us to higher definitions. 21
Is healing the sick the whole ofScience?
Healing physical sickness is the smallest part of Chris-
tianScience. It is only the bugle-call to thought and 24
action, in the higher range of infinite goodness. The
emphatic purpose ofChristian Science is the healing of
sin; and this task, sometimes, may be harder thanthe 27
cure of disease; because, while mortalslove to sin, they 1
do not love to be sick. Hencetheir comparative acqui-
escence in your endeavors to heal them of bodily ills,and 3
their obstinate resistance to all efforts to save themfrom
sin through Christ, spiritual Truth and Love, which
redeem them, and becometheir Saviour, through the 6
flesh,from the flesh, -- the material world and evil.
This Life, Truth, and Love -- thistrinity of good -- was
individualized, to the perception of mortal sense, in the 9
man Jesus. His history is emphatic in our hearts, andit
lives more because of his spiritual than his physical healing.
His example is,to Christian Scientists, what the models 12
of the mastersin music and painting are to artists.
Genuine Christian Scientists will no moredeviate mor-
ally from that divine digest of Science called the Sermon 15
on the Mount, than they will manipulate invalids, prescribe
drugs,or deny God. Jesus' healing was spiritual in its
nature, method, anddesign. He wrought the cure of 18
disease through the divine Mind, which gives all true
volition, impulse, andaction; and destroys the mental
error made manifest physically, and establishes theoppo- 21
site manifestation of Truth upon the body inharmony
and health.
By the individuality of God, do you meanthat God has 24
a finiteform?
No. I mean the infinite and divine Principle of all
being, theever-present I AM, filling all space, including 27
in itself allMind, the one Father-Mother God. Life, 1
Truth, and Love are this trinity in unity, and their uni-
verse is spiritual,peopled with perfect beings, harmonious 3
and eternal, of which ourmaterial universe and men are
the counterfeits.
Is God thePrinciple of all science, or only of Divine or 6
Christian Science?
Science is Mind manifested. It is notmaterial; neither
is it of human origin. 9
All true Science represents a moral and spiritualforce,
which holds the earth in its orbit. This force is Spirit,
that can"bind the sweet influences of the Pleiades," and 12
"loosethe bands of Orion."
There is no material science, if by that term youmean
material intelligence. God is infinite Mind, hence there 15
is no other Mind. Good is Mind, but evil is not Mind.
Good isnot in evil, but in God only. Spirit is not in matter,
but in Spirit only. Law is notin matter, but in Mind only. 18
Is there nomatter?
All is Mind. According to the Scriptures andChristian
Science, all is God, and there is naught beside Him. "God 21
is Spirit;" and we can only learn and love Him through
His spirit, whichbrings out the fruits of Spirit and ex-
tinguishes forever the works of darkness byHis marvel- 24
lous light.
The five materialsenses testify to the existence of
matter. The spiritual senses afford no suchevidence, 1
but deny the testimony of the materialsenses. Which
testimony is correct? The Bible says: "Let God be 3
true, and every man a liar." If, asthe Scriptures imply,
God is All-in-all, then all must be Mind, since Godis
Mind. Therefore in divine Science there is no material 6
mortal man, for man is spiritual and eternal, he being
made in theimage of Spirit, or God.
There is no material sense. Matter is inert,inanimate, 9
and sensationless, -- considered apart fromMind. Lives
there a man who has ever found Soul in the body or in
matter, whohas ever seen spiritual substance with the 12
eye,who has found sight in matter, hearing in the material
ear, or intelligence in non-intelligence? If there is any
such thing as matter, it must be either mind whichis 15
called matter, or matter withoutMind.
Matter without Mind is a moral impossibility. Mind
in matter ispantheism. Soul is the only real conscious- 18
nesswhich cognizes being. The body does not see, hear,
smell, or taste. Humanbelief says that it does; but
destroy this belief of seeing with the eye, and wecould 21
not see materially; and so it is with each of thephysical
senses.
Accepting the verdict of these material senses, weshould 24
believe man and the universe to be the football ofchance
and sinking into oblivion. Destroy the five senses as
organizedmatter, and you must either become non-exist- 27
ent,or exist in Mind only; and this latter conclusion is
the simple solution of theproblem of being, and leads to 1
the equal inference thatthere is no matter.
The sweet sounds and glories of earth andsky, assum- 3
ing manifold forms andcolors, -- are they not tangible and
material?
As Mind they arereal, but not as matter. All beauty 6
and goodness are in and of Mind, emanating from God;
but when we change thenature of beauty and goodness
from Mind to matter, the beauty is marred, througha 9
false conception, and, to the materialsenses, evil takes
the place of good.
Has not the truth in Christian Sciencemet a response 12
from Prof. S. P. Langley,the young American astronomer?
He says that "color is in us," not "in therose;" and he
adds that this is not "any metaphysical subtlety," but a 15
fact "almost universally accepted, within the lastfew
years, by physicists."
Is not the basis ofMind-healing a destruction of the evi- 18
dence of thematerial senses, and restoration of the true
evidence of spiritualsense?
It is, so far as you perceive and understand this predi- 21
cate and postulate of Mind-healing; but the Science of
Mind-healing is best understood in practical demonstra-
tion. The proof of what youapprehend, in the simplest 24
definite and absoluteform of healing, can alone answer
this question of how much you understand ofChristian
Science Mind-healing. Not that all healing is Science, 1
by any means; but that the simplest case, healed inScience,
is as demonstrably scientific, in a small degree, as the most 3
difficult case so treated.
The infinite and subtler conceptions andconsistencies
of Christian Science are set forth in my work Science and 6
Health.
Is man material orspiritual?
In Science, man is the manifest reflection of God, per- 9
feet and immortal Mind. He is the likeness of God;and
His likeness would be lost if inverted or perverted.
According to theevidence of the so-called physical 12
senses, man is material, fallen, sick, depraved, mortal.
Science and spiritualsense contradict this, and they afford
the only true evidence of the being of God andman, the 15
material evidence being whollyfalse.
Jesus said of personal evil, that "the truth abode not
in him," becausethere is no material sense. Matter, as 18
matter, hasneither sensation nor personal intelligence.
As a pretension to be Mind, matter is alie, and "the
father of lies;" Mind is not in matter, and Spirit cannot 21
originate its opposite, named matter.
According to divineScience, Spirit no more changes its
species, by evolving matter from Spirit, thannatural 24
science, so-called, or materiallaws, bring about altera-
tion of species by transforming minerals intovegetables
or plants into animals, -- thus confusing and confounding 27
the three great kingdoms. No rock brings forth an apple; 1
no pine-tree produces a mammal or provides breast-milk
forbabes. 3
To sense, the lion of to-day is the lion of sixthousand
years ago; but in Science, Spirit sends forth its own harm-
lesslikeness. 6
How should I undertake to demonstrateChristian Science
in healing the sick?
As I have given you only anepitome of the Principle, 9
so I can give youhere nothing but an outline of the prac-
tice. Be honest, be true to thyself, and trueto others;
then it follows thou wilt be strong in God, the eternal 12
good. Heal through Truth and Love; there is noother
healer.
In all moral revolutions, from a lower to a higher con- 15
dition of thought and action, Truth is in the minorityand
error has the majority. It is not otherwise in the field
of Mind-healing. The man who calls himself a Christian 18
Scientist, yet is false to God and man, is also uttering
falsehood aboutgood. This falsity shuts against him the
Truth and the Principle of Science, butopens a way 21
whereby, through will-power, sense may say the unchris-
tian practitioner can heal; but Science shows thathe makes
morally worse the invalid whom he is supposed to cure. 24
By this I mean that mortal mind should not befalsely
impregnated. If by such lower means the health is seem-
inglyrestored, the restoration is not lasting, and the patient 27
is liable to a relapse, -- "The last state of that man is 1
worse than thefirst."
The teacher of Mind-healing who is not a Christian, 3
in the highest sense, is constantly sowing the seedsof
discord and disease. Even the truth he speaks is more
or less blended witherror; and this error will spring up 6
in the mind of hispupil. The pupil's imperfect knowl-
edge will lead to weakness in practice, andhe will be a
poor practitioner, if not a malpractitioner. 9
The basis of malpractice is in erringhuman will, and
this will is an outcome of what I call mortal mind, --a
false and temporal sense of Truth, Life, and Love. To 12
heal, in Christian Science, is to base your practice on
immortalMind, the divine Principle of man's being; and
this requires a preparation of theheart and an answer 15
of the lips from theLord.
The Science of healing is the Truth of healing. If
one isuntruthful, his mental state weighs against his 18
healing power; and similar effects come from pride,
envy, lust, and all fleshlyvices.
The spiritual power of a scientific, right thought, with- 21
out a direct effort, an audible or even a mental argument,
hasoftentimes healed inveterate diseases.
The thoughts of the practitioner should beimbued with 24
a clear conviction of the omnipotenceand omnipresence
of God; that He is All, and that there can be none beside
Him;that God is good, and the producer only of good; 27
and hence, that whatever militates against health, har-
mony, or holiness, is anunjust usurper of the throne of 1
the controller of allmankind. Note this, that if you have
power in error, you forfeit the power thatTruth bestows, 3
and its salutary influence on yourself andothers.
You must feel and know that God alone governs man;
that His governmentis harmonious; that He is too pure 6
to beholdiniquity, and divides His power with nothing
evil or material; that material laws areonly human be-
liefs, which govern mortals wrongfully. These beliefs arise 9
from the subjective states of thought, producing the be-
liefs of amortal material universe, -- so-called, and of
material disease and mortality. Mortal ills are but errors 12
of thought, -- diseases of mortalmind, and not of matter;
for matter cannot feel, see, or report pain ordisease,
Disease is a thing of thought manifested on the body; 15
and fear is the procurator of the thought whichcauses
sickness and suffering. Remove this fear by the true
sense that God is Love,-- and that Love punishes nothing 18
but sin, -- and thepatient can then look up to the loving
God, and know that He afflicteth not willinglythe children
of men, who are punished because of disobedience to His 21
spiritual law. His law of Truth, when obeyed,removes
every erroneous physical and mental state. The belief
that matter canmaster Mind, and make you ill, is an 24
errorwhich Truth will destroy.
You must learn to acknowledge God in all His ways.
Itis only a lack of understanding of the allness of God, 27
which leads you to believe in the existence of matter, or
that matter can frameits own conditions, contrary to the 1
law ofSpirit.
Sickness is the schoolmaster, leading you to Christ; 3
first to faith in Christ; next to belief in God as omnipo-
tent; and finally to the understanding of God and man
in Christian Science,whereby you learn that God is good, 6
and in Science man isHis likeness, the forever reflection of
goodness. Therefore good is one andAll.
This brings forward the next proposition in Christian 9
Science, -- namely, that there are no sickness, sin,and
death in the divine Mind. What seem to be disease, vice,
and mortalityare illusions of the physical senses. These 12
illusions arenot real, but unreal. Health is the conscious-
ness of the unreality of pain anddisease; or, rather, the
absolute consciousness of harmony and of nothing else. 15
In a moment you may awake from a night-dream;just
so you can awake from the dream of sickness; but the
demonstration of theScience of Mind-healing by no means 18
rests on thestrength of human belief. This demonstra-
tion is based on a true understandingof God and divine
Science, which takes away every human belief, and, 21
through the illumination of spiritualunderstanding, re-
veals the all-power and ever-presence of good, whence
emanatehealth, harmony, and Life eternal. 24
The lecturer, teacher, or healer who is indeed aChristian
Scientist, never introduces the subject of human anatomy;
never depictsthe muscular, vascular, or nervous opera- 27
tions ofthe human frame. He never talks about the
structure of the material body.He never lays his hands 1
on the patient, normanipulates the parts of the body sup-
posed to be ailing. Above all, he keepsunbroken the Ten 3
Commandments, and practises Christ'sSermon on the
Mount.
Wrong thoughts and methods strengthen the sense of 6
disease, instead of cure it; or else quietthe fear of the
sick on false grounds, encouraging them in the belief of
erroruntil they hold stronger than before the belief that 9
they arefirst made sick by matter, and then restored
through its agency. This fostersinfidelity, and is mental
quackery, that denies the Principle of Mind-healing. If 12
the sick are aided in this mistaken fashion, theirailments
will return, and be more stubborn because the relief is
unchristian andunscientific. 15
Christian Science erases fromthe minds of invalids
their mistaken belief that they live in or because ofmatter,
or that a so-called material organism controls the health 18
or existence of mankind, and induces rest in God, divine
Love, ascaring for all the conditions requisite for the well-
being of man. As powerdivine is the healer, why should 21
mortals concernthemselves with the chemistry of food?
Jesus said: "Take no thought what ye shalleat."
The practitioner should also endeavor to free the minds 24
of the healthy from any sense of subordination to their
bodies, andteach them that the divine Mind, not material
law, maintains human health andlife. 27
A Christian Scientist knows that, in Science, disease
isunreal; that Mind is not in matter; that Life is God, 1
good; hence Life is not functional, and is neither matter
nor mortal mind; knowsthat pantheism and theosophy 3
are notScience. Whatever saps, with human belief,
this basis of Christian Science,renders it impossible to
demonstrate the Principle of this Science, even in the 6
smallest degree.
A mortal and material body isnot the actual individuality
of man made in the divine and spiritual image ofGod. 9
The material body is not the likenessof Spirit; hence it
is not the truth of being, but the likeness of error ?the
human belief which saith there is more than one God, -- 12
there is more than one Life and one Mind.
In Deuteronomy (iv.35) we read: "The Lord, He is
God; there is none else beside Him." In John(iv. 24) 15
we may read: "God is Spirit." These propositions, un-
derstood in their Science, elucidate my meaning.
Whentreating a patient, it is not Science to treat every 18
organ in the body. To aver that harmony is the real and
discord is theunreal, and then give special attention to
what according to their own belief isdiseased, is scientific; 21
and if the healer realizes the truth, it willfree his patient.
What are the means and, methods oftrustworthy Christian
Scientists? 24
These peopleshould not be expected, more than others,
to give all their time to Christian Sciencework, receiving
no wages in return, but left to be fed, clothed, and sheltered 27
by charity. Neither can they serve two masters, giving 1
only a portion of their time to God, and still beChristian
Scientists. They must give Him all their services, and 3
"owe no man." To do this, they must at present aska
suitable price for their services, and then conscientiously
earn theirwages, strictly practising Divine Science, and 6
healingthe sick.
The author never sought charitable support, but gave
fully seven-eighths of her time without remuneration, ex- 9
cept thebliss of doing good. The only pay taken for her
labors was from classes, and oftenthose were put off for
months, in order to do gratuitous work. She hasnever 12
taught a Primary class without several, andsometimes
seventeen, free students in it; and has endeavored to take
the full priceof tuition only from those who were able to 15
pay. Thestudent who pays must of necessity do better
than he who does not pay, and yet willexpect and require
others to pay him. No discount on tuition was made on 18
higher classes, because their first classes furnishedstudents
with the means of paying for their tuition in the higher
instruction, andof doing charity work besides. If the 21
Primary students are still impecunious, it is their own
fault, and this ill-success of itself leaves them unprepared
to enter higher classes. 24
People are being healed by means of myinstructions,
both in and out of class. Many students, who have
passedthrough a regular course of instruction from me, 27
have been invalids and were healed in the class; but ex-
perience has shown thatthis defrauds the scholar, though 1
it heals thesick.
It is seldom that a student, if healed hi a class, has left 3
it understanding sufficiently the Science of healing to im-
mediately enter upon its practice. Why? Because the
glad surprise ofsuddenly regained health is a shock to 6
the mind;and this holds and satisfies the thought with
exuberant joy.
This renders themind less inquisitive, plastic, and tract- 9
able; and deepsystematic thinking is impracticable until
this impulse subsides.
This was theprincipal reason for advising diseased 12
people not to enter a class. Few were taken besides inva-
lids forstudents, until there were enough practitioners to
fill in the best possible mannerthe department of healing. 15
Teaching and healing should haveseparate departments,
and these should be fortified on all sides with suitableand
thorough guardianship and grace. 18
Only a verylimited number of students can advanta-
geously enter a class, grapple with thissubject, and well
assimilate what has been taught them. It is impossible 21
to teach thorough Christian Science to promiscuousand
large assemblies, or to persons who cannot be addressed
individually, so thatthe mind of the pupil may be dissected 24
more critically than the bodyof a subject laid bare for
anatomical examination. Public lectures cannot besuch
lessons in Christian Science as are required to empty and 27
to fill anew the individual mind.
If publicity and materialcontrol are the motives for 1
teaching, thenpublic lectures can take the place of private
lessons; but the former can never give athorough knowledge 3
of Christian Science, and a ChristianScientist will never
undertake to fit students for practice by such means. Lec-
tures in public are needed, but they must be subordinate 6
to thorough class instruction in any branch of education.
None with animperfect sense of the spiritual significa-
tion of the Bible, and its scientificrelation to Mind- 9
healing, should attempt overmuchin their translation of
the Scriptures into the "new tongue;" but I see that
somenovices, in the truth of Science, and some impostors are 12
committingthis error.
Is there more than one school of scientifichealing?
In reality there is, and can be, but one school of the 15
Science of Mind-healing. Any departure from Scienceis
an irreparable loss of Science. Whatever is said and
written correctly onthis Science originates from the Princi- 18
ple and practice laid down inScience and Health, a work
which I published in 1875. This was the first book,re-
corded in history, which elucidates a pathological Science 21
purely mental.
Minor shades of difference in Mind-healing have origi-
nated with certain opposing factions, springing up among 24
unchristian students, who, fusing with a class of aspirants
which snatch atwhatever is progressive, call it their first-
fruits, or else post mortemevidence. 27
A slight divergence is fatal in Science. Like certain 1
Jews whom St. Paul had hoped to convert frommere
motives of self-aggrandizement to the love of Christ, these 3
so-called schools are clogging the wheels of progress by
blinding the people tothe true character of Christian
Science, -- its moral power, and its divine efficacyto 6
heal.
The true understanding of ChristianScience Mind-
healing never originated in pride, rivalry, or the deification 9
of self. The Discoverer of this Science could tell you of
timidity, ofself-distrust, of friendlessness, toil, agonies, and
victories under which she neededmiraculous vision to 12
sustain her, whentaking the first footsteps in this
Science.
The ways of Christianity have notchanged. Meek- 15
ness,selflessness, and lo
