Christian: Christian Scientists
built 220 days ago
Of all the Biblically based cults in America today, Christian Science is one of the most interesting. Not only does it deny the essential doctrines of Christianity, but it has completely reinterpreted the Bible. It drastically redefines the Bible’s culture and terminology and rips thousands of scriptures out of their historical and biblical contexts. The result is a non-Christian mixture of metaphysical and philosophical thoughts. Christian Science is so foreign to the Bible that, if it didn’t use words like Jesus, Trinity, Love, Grace, Sin, etc., you’d never suspect it had anything to do with the Bible at all. Additionally, the book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, which is the Christian Scientist’s mainstay of spiritual knowledge, reads with a rhythm of pseudo logical statements that has the tendency to dull the senses when read long enough.

Do Christian Scientists recognize the trap in which they live? Most of them do not. Convinced that their religion represents God’s perfect and complete Truth, they assume that anything that disagrees with Christian Science must be incorrect. Failed healings, skepticism over Christian Science doctrine, and claims that Christian Science contradicts the Bible – these are all blamed on a poor understanding of Christian Science and not on any fault with the religion itself. Christian Science is always right, even if you don’t quite understand it and even if people are dying around you.

Christian Scientists call themselves Christians, but their beliefs deviate from biblical Christianity on nearly every central doctrine. To the Christian Scientist, Jesus Christ is a “duality”[7] consisting of Jesus “the human man”[8] and Christ the “divine idea.”[9] Heaven and hell are states of mind rather than real places.[10] The Holy Spirit is Christian Science and not a member of the Godhead.[11] Jesus’ “seeming”[12] death on the cross was not intended to pay for our sins, but to prove the unreality of sin, disease, and death. The Bible is full of mistakes. Jesus’ words were recorded by “dull disciples …in a decaying language,”[13] and must be spiritually interpreted through Christian Science.

Christian Scientists often sound quite knowledgeable about the Bible. Remember that much of their Bible knowledge consists of partial verses taken out of context and assigned new, “spiritualized” meanings. Ask them to define their terms when they quote the Bible. (“What do you mean by the word ‘atonement’?”) When they quote verses out of context, challenge them to look at those verses along with the verses before and after them.
