Explore "The Human Concept" by Mary Baker Eddy on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Sin existed as a false claim before the human concept of sin was formed; hence one's concept of error is not the whole of error. The human thought does not constitute sin, but _vice versa_, sin constitutes the human or physical concept.
Sin is both concrete and abstract. Sin was, and _is_, the lying supposition that life, substance, and intelligence are both material and spiritual, and yet are separate from God. The first iniquitous manifestation of sin was a finity. The finite was self-arrayed against the infinite, the mortal against immortality, and a sinner was the antipode of God.
