Uncovering ReligionAc. 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.

Uncovering ReligionGa. 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!

BASIC PHILOSOPHYGod, the Divine Mind, is All

Physical Matter is unreal

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?

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.”

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.”

Sin and sickness do not exist.

Satan does not existSickness is a false belief regardless of what is seen and felt

Uncovering ReligionKevin 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.

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.

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.
