Man is just as capable today to
perform the healings that Jesus
Christ did, with the exception of
resurrection, according to Harold
Rogers, Christian Scientist and
worldwide lecturer.
Rogers, whose lecture at the
Russell House Wednesday was
sponsored by the USC Christian
Science Organization, said
healings and all things are
possible, for man is perfect and a
reflection of a perfect God.
"PERFECT GOD and perfect
man is perfect cause and perfect
effect," Rogers said. "An eternal
God must forever manifest itself in
an eternal man. You cannot have
cause without effect; you cannot
have God without man or man
without God," he said.
Of four billion people on this
planet only a small fraction have
an understanding of their true
identity, Rogers said. The five
physical senses hinder us from
finding this identity, and thinking
of man as matter is a mistake, he
said. "The most enlightening
prophet of all, Jesus Christ, saw
men as purely spiritual beings/' he
said.
Rogers said the problem with
some people is they have an image
of a man-projected God. A manprojected
God is one invented in
~ I i-j ... .
uic uummi mina, a magnmed
mortal. "This is a God that does
not exist," he said.
ROGERS WARNED that belief
in astrology and reincarnation will
harm the true identity.
Rogers referred to astrology as a
"false science," which bases
man's destiny on stars and planets.
"A further false claim is stars and
planets control those who do not
know or believe," he said. "Man
reflecting God has dominion over
the universe." Only mortals have
signs, but immortals, sons and
daughters of God, are signless, he
added.
Rogers urged the group not to
read the astrological columns in
newspapers and to declare oneself
signless.
REINCARNATION, the belief
that the soul will return in another
life form after death is a belief of
oriental mystic religions. "We
(Christian Scientists) believe life is
continuous, moving spiritually
upward. We don't return to the
present plane," Rogers said.
"There is no duality; there is just
you with no history of mortality."

, Rogers said Christian Scientists
believe man's spirit has forever
existed, so it preexisted, but there
is "no reincarnation."
"You will always be you
throughout eternity," he said.
"Oriental mystic religions are
total absorbing the oversoul or
supreme being. Man ceases to
maintain his identity as man."
