WOULD A TRULY CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATION CLAIM WE DON’T NEED CHRIST? [3 of 3] The following tenet is among the unbiblical writings of Mary Baker Eddy that today’s Christian Science reveres above the Bible: "We acknowledge that the crucifixion of Jesus and his resurrection served to uplift faith to understand eternal Life, even the allness of Soul, Spirit, and the nothingness of matter." That’s just an ugly pile of “What did she say!?” Unfortunately, people get snookered into Christian Science’s extremely deadly belief system that claims sin, sickness, and even death are not real. So, when you get sick, don't see a doctor; just focus on the problem and fix yourself with your mind, by convincing yourself that the sickness is not real. Just keep telling yourself it’s not happening—deny reality as you most likely get worse and maybe even die. Val Kilmer is just one of countless Christian Scientists who have had to struggle with the organization’s false beliefs while dealing with a serious health issue: Diagnosed with throat cancer in 2014, Kilmer eventually had a two-year bout with it, a struggle that had serious consequences for his life and career. He had to decide whether to follow his faith by denying the cancer even existed, or seek help from medical treatment. According to reports, he ended up accepting chemotherapy and two tracheotomies, and has been cancer free since. He is not able to eat, so he takes food through a feeding tube. Though he likely had consequences from waiting to take treatment, Kilmer woke up to the reality that he needed healthcare. But according to the mumbo-jumbo machinations that happened in Mary Baker Eddy’s mind, Christian Scientists who follow her teachings supposedly get their wakeup moment when each realizes that he or she is the universe. From there they are told to train their thoughts toward only bringing themselves good. The whole idea sounds New Agey and Hinduistic because that's really where this deceptive, dangerous thinking came from.
