Sin and Illness

(Q) What sin brought on physical condition?
(A) It isn't a question of what sin, but a question of correcting the body-mind, purposes and desires, letting sin be eliminated from the ideals and purposes of the body.
4009-1
 
(Q) Is the ill health which I have been experiencing the past years the result of mistakes of a past life or is it due to something amiss in this present life?
(A) Both.
For there is the law of the material, there is the law of the mental, there is the law of the spiritual.
That brought into materiality is first conceived in spirit.
Hence as we have indicated, all illness is sin; not necessarily of the moment, as man counts time, but as a part of the whole experience.
For God has not purposed or willed that any soul should perish, but purgeth everyone by illness, by prosperity, by hardships, by those things needed, in order to meet self - but in Him, by faith and works, are ye made every whit whole.
3395-2
 
...all illness comes from sin.
This everyone must take whether they like it or not; it comes from sin whether it be of body, of mind, or of soul, and these manifest in the earth.
For, who healeth all thy diseases?
Uncle John, or God the Father?
This must be determined in self.
For, God is spirit and seeketh such to worship Him in spirit and in truth.
True, there are pathological conditions that are disturbed with this body.
But do the first thing first.
There should be a decision within self, first, as to what you believe.
And know it must begin with the spiritual purposes of life.
Who is the author of life?
Who is the Saviour of life?
Who gave His life that ye might have life more abundant?
What is light and life in the earth?
If you cannot answer these within yourself, you are far, far from knowing the way home.
3174-1
 
For what is bad?
Good gone wrong, or something else?
It is good misapplied, misconstrued, or used in a selfish manner - for the satisfying of a desire within self.
And so is sin, so is illness; a lack of at-onement with a coordinant, cooperative force of a living influence that may - through this entity - become such a marvellous force for good, for a channel of manifestation of good among its fellow man.
The Lord is willing.
Art thou, then, willing to accept and be guided, and be directed, by that influence in thy experience?
1089-5
 
(Q) Will I ever get well?
(A) Will tomorrow ever come?
This depends upon purposes, aims, desires, hopes and fears?
Does the body desire to get well?
Is God in His heaven?
Are the lives and activities of those ye touch helped through thy spreading of His word?
Do you need to get well?
These are all answered in self.
He withholds no good thing from those who serve Him.
Let all remember that, believe it, know it!
For it is the truth!
Each illness, each disturbance is Sin at thy door!
2526-5
 
For, all illness is sin manifested, as the entity has interpreted and may interpret in its experiences with others.
3292-1
 
For...all illness is sin.
3341-1
 
What has ever been the builder, body, mind and spirit?
...the expressions are in the physical, the motivative force is the spirit, the mind is the builder.
What was builded?
Those bodies had dwelt as individuals do (as may be illustrated in habit) with the interconsciousness of the necessity of the expression of something within self which brought dis-ease, the natural result of what? An at-variance to the divine law!
Hence it may truly be said that to be at-variance may bring sickness, dis-ease, disruption, distress in a physical body.
262-83
