Christian Science Lies Refuted

Christian Science Lies Refuted

Lie1)Bible- Mary Baker Eddy claimed the Bible has thousands of errors -2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,

Lie 2)Sin-Adam was not an actual person who was created by God and fell into sin. 'Adam' means error; a falsity; the belief in 'original sin,' sickness, and death; evil; the opposite of good." Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned—

Lie 3)Trinity-Christian Science clearly repudiates the Biblical concept of Trinitarian Godhead :Instead, "Life, Truth, and Love constitutes the triune Person called God Matthew 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

Lie 4)Jesus Christ -Christian Science denies that the incarnation of Christ was the fullness of deity dwelling in human flesh, denies the perfection of the man Jesus, and disagrees with the historical death and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures,

Lie 5)Holy Spirit -Christian Science denies that the Holy Spirit is a person. It teaches that the Holy Spirit is Christian Science. -- "This Comforter I understand to be Divine Science". It is the unfolding of the thoughts and infinite mind of God . Thus, God, the Holy Spirit, cannot indwell a person. John 16:13 13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.

Lie 6)Sin-man is incapable of sin, sickness, and death. Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Lie 7)Salvation-sin is not real, therefore see no need for salvation in Jesus Christ.Jesus' death on the cross was not intended to pay for our sins, but to prove the unreality of sin, disease, and death. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Lie 8)Hell. Christian Science denies the existence of hell and eternal punishment, and Satan. Revelation 20:15 And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. (See also Revelation 20:10 - tormented day and night forever)

Lie 9)Man's End- Christian Science teaches that since God is all good and nothing that is real exists outside God, then sin, sickness, and death are mortal error or an illusion. Christ, as the Truth, therefore came to set man free from these false beliefs by His teachings and example Revelation 20:11-15 11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. 13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. 14 Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15 And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

Lie 10)Only Way -There is a "spiritually scientific" method for healing, victory over life's circumstances, and guaranteed salvation. John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
