  1. Uncovering Religion Christian Science

  2. Uncovering Religion • Ac. 20:28-31 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the Church of God, which He bought with His own blood. I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.

  4. Uncovering Religion • Ga. 1:8-9 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!

  6. Uncovering Religion Christian Science

  7. Uncovering Religion • Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910) • Discovered CS in 1886 • Wrote book and Founded Church in 1875

  8. Uncovering Religion • Over One Million Members • Christian Science Monitor • Christian Science Sentinel

  9. Uncovering Religion MAINTAINING CONTROL • Mother Church • Bible and Eddy’s book ‘Science and Health’ is Pastor

  10. Uncovering Religion Basic Philosophy • God, the Divine Mind, is All • Physical Matter is unreal

  11. Uncovering Religion Kevin Smith said, “Eddy’s arguments against matter are circular at best. To say, “Spirit is the real and eternal; matter is the unreal and temporal” is merely to define matter away without proving so. If matter is unreal, how can Christian Science call God the Creator?

  12. Uncovering Religion • Kevin Smith continues, “This is the dilemma: God cannot be all of reality if something else is real also. The traditional Christian view avoids this problem by affirming that God is the ultimate reality, who has created things other than Himself which depend upon Him for their existence.”

  13. Uncovering Religion • Eddy teaches that Jesus is not Christ and is not God. • Mt. 16:15-16 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

  14. Uncovering Religion • Sin and sickness do not exist. • Satan does not exist • Sickness is a false belief regardless of what is seen and felt

  15. Uncovering Religion • Kevin Smith said. “How could this healing be known, though, but through seeing, feeling. etc.? And if the physical senses are unreliable – based only on the error of mortal mind – how can those same senses be appealed to as proof that healing occurred. This contradiction undermines what Christian Scientists consider to be their strongest argument for their belief.

  16. Uncovering Religion • Jesus did not suffer for the sins of men. • They believe He did not rise physically. • There will be no second coming. • The virgin birth was a spiritual idea, and that is all. • The Holy Spirit is a force or a power, but not a person.

  17. Uncovering Religion • Science and Health is Scripture. • Much of the Bible is a record of falsehoods. • God is not a personal God • The Trinity is a Pagan idea.

  18. Uncovering Religion • Prayer, is silent desire for good. • God is Father and Mother. • Atonement = At-One-Ment with God
