Bad results from error

This error has proved itself to be error. Its life is found to be not Life, but only a transient, false sense of an ex- istence which ends in death. Error charges its lie to Truth and says: "The Lord knows it. He has made man immortal and material, out of mat- ter instead of Spirit." Thus error partakes of its own nature and utters its own falsities. If we regard matter as intelligent, and Mind as both good and evil, every sin or supposed material pain and pleasure seems normal, a part of God's creation, and so weighs against our course Spiritward.
