1 | Who else besides Cain, Adam, and Eve? | Genesis | Reformer Joe | 37543 | ||
I didn't ask a question. You may think that Science and Health is a help for you, but it is the primary Scripture of a non-Christian cult known as Christian Science. The cult was founded by Mary Baker Eddy in the 19th century, and it is basically the re-hashing of a heresy known as gnosticism that plagued the early church. Rather that helping one understand the Scriptures, Eddy assigned esoteric, "hidden" meaning to the texts. As you have been pointing out, the plain meaning of the text is obscured by Eddy's commentary saying everything literal in Scripture "represents" something else. According to Christian Scientists, it is impossible to understand the "true meaning of the Bible" apart from this book (hence its claim to be the "key to the Scriptures"). Science and Health denies the reality of evil; Jesus Christ and the Bible do not. Sin is rebellion against a holy and just God, not "error." Our nature is that we are enemies of God and predisposed to violating His will (Romans 5; Ephesians 2:1-7); we are not victims of "wrong thinking" as Eddy asserted. I encourage you to check out the following Web sites for a Biblical response to Science and Health to see how it leads a person away from the truth of the Bible: http://www.watchman.org/profile/ChrSciProfile.htm http://www.equip.org/free/DC605.htm May God bless you by enlightening you with His truth. --Joe! |

Hi Joe, Excuse me, I thought your post was a question. Please forgive me for using the improper word!!!! Thank you so much for your concern!! I truly do appreciate people looking out for each other. The information that you have posted is evidentially not from your own personnel knowledge of the actual teachings, because a lot of this just simply is not true. The King James Version of the Bible is what we study with the Science and Health, as let’s say our commentary. Our Daily Bible studies along with the book at www.spirituality.com Science and Health is very much Christian! I had no intention of turning this into a Mary Baker Eddy discussion, but to keep this brief and to the point I will. Mrs. Eddy had been raised in a Christian Church; She was a very sick child. One day she was healed and she wanted to know why she was healed so she spent 3 years studying the Bible mainly the teachings of Jesus to learn that Jesus’ teachings were scientific or lets say provable. Joe I understand the confusion of this study as I once had similar thoughts. But knowing that I had never been around such kind, loving, non-judgmental people anywhere as well as and even more so, the healings that I have witnessed over and over again are something that I just cannot nor will not ignore. Please understand that I’m not at all saying that this study is right for everyone, that's God's job, but for myself I have seen such marvelous healings,this is the proof of the teaching. Joe, why do people when they find something unlike their own thinking do they assume that it’s wrong or bad regardless of the Truth or the good achieved. Oh well the Pharisees did the exact same thing to Jesus. Oh, you know I never felt like a victim at all. But I sure am glad that I have the proof in the healing so I can just smile! Keep up your reforming with God’s love Joe. |
