Subject: Who else besides Cain, Adam, and Eve? |
Bible Note: You wrote: "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." That is where you are mistaken. I have been studying groups like Christian Science for over ten years. I have a copy of Science and Health and have spoken to quite a number of Christian Scientists. I have also paid a visit to a couple of reading rooms to talk with individuals there. What exactly in the Watchman profile regarding Christian Science was in error? You wrote: "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." Something is wrong not because I do not like it, but rather because it contradicts the clear-as-crystal teachings of God's Word. Go read Romans 1-3 without Science and Health at your side and tell me on your own what God has to say about human nature and God's attitude toward it. Playing the "Pharisee card" does not work because I am not preaching legalism. I am proclaiming Truth, which will result in your eternal and just suffering at the hands of a wrathful God if you continue to reject it (Romans 1:20). And that is the message that Jesus preached to the Pharisees, by the way (John chapters 8-10). You wrote: "But I sure am glad that I have the proof in the healing so I can just smile!" Well, smiles and happiness and not feeling a victim does not equal the possession of truth: "For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect." --Mathhew 24:24 Scripture is sufficient. Holding to another text as necessary to understand Scripture makes God a liar: "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work." --2 Timothy 3:16 Do you honestly believe that an all powerful God let the truth of his teachings disappear for 1800 years? Stop and think about the words of these verses. Look at them without putting on the "Science and Health" spectacles, and the meaning will become quite clear. --Joe! |
