![IS CHRISTIAN SCIENCE A DEADLY THE RELIGION? Yes! Followers are told not to go to a doctor under any circumstance, which has led to these statistics: “When Christian Scientists are compared with other groups that prohibit smoking and stress a healthy diet, the death rate was found to be over twice as high for the Christian Scientists. The death rate among Christian Scientist graduates who are male was four times greater and for females it was almost five times greater." So, the cult of Christian Science is not only a false teaching, it's a deadly one. Even today, people are dying by the tens of thousands because they follow this unbiblical faith. Here is more from Gerald Bergman, PHD, about the consequence for those practicing Christian Science—and for their children: "One of the more famous modern cases of death is that of two-year-old Robyn Twitchell who became violently ill in 1986 after a light supper. The Twitchell’s were practicing Christian Scientists and so did what good Christian Scientists do: they consulted
a Christian Science practitioner, read various publications about
how to deal with this illusion [happening to their two-year-old son.]; It is not easy to convince a two-year-old that pain and suffering do not exist, [so] Robyn continued crying and screaming in spite of the best “treatment” the church had to offer. On April 8 the boy died from peritonitis caused by a bowel obstruction from Meckel’s diverticulum. This condition can usually be treated by surgery without complications…” But the little boy died, something that happens to ten of thousands of Christian Scientists around the world because they are taught to believe that illnesses and injuries are not real. Even worse, this deadly religion teaches its followers that they do not need Christ as their Savior. So, the false faith can easily get its followers killed by telling them not to seek medical help, and then Christian Science’s claim that adherents should reject the free gift of salvation through Christ sends them to an eternity in hell when they die without having chosen Jesus. Who do you think is behind all that? Of course, it is just more
from the father of lies, Satan, who Jesus says is also a murderer
and has been one from the beginning (John, chapter 8). | image tagged in christian science,mary baker eddy,bible,cult,science,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5zaw3t.jpg)
![WHAT DID MARK TWAIN SAY ABOUT CHRISTIAN SCIENCE?
Gerald Bergman, PHD, wrote about the time Mark Twain encountered a Christian Science practitioner—and set her straight: “On a vacation Twain fell off a cliff in Austria and ‘broke some arms and legs and one thing or another.’ After being rescued by local peasants, he searched in vain for a doctor. Finally, a Christian Science practitioner was located who was vacationing in the village. Unable to come immediately she sent Twain the message to relax because there was nothing wrong with him, and his feelings of pain were ‘imagined,’ therefore he needed no treatment.
The practitioner, a large middle-aged woman with an austere face,
later came to help Twain deal with his imagined broken bones. When trying to convince Mr. Twain that the pain he was then experiencing didn’t exist, she accidentally raked her hand on a pin in her dress, said “ouch” in pain, then tranquilly went on trying to convince Mr. Twain that pain doesn’t exist. Needless to say, she failed to convince Mr. Twain that his bones did not hurt and there was no such thing as pain. Fortunately, Mr. Twain survived, no doubt because he found someone who was concerned with setting bones instead of selling a dangerous pseudoscientific religious philosophy. Mr. Twain’s
book is written to bring many chuckles, but the religion it discusses
is about the serious business of death. Many tragic deaths
have occurred due to [Mary Baker] Eddy’s teachings.” | image tagged in mark twain,christian science,cult,god,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5zavih.jpg)
![WHAT IS THE TRUTH ABOUT THE RELIGION OF “CHRISTIAN” “SCIENCE”? [2 of 2] In 1879, founder Mary Baker Eddy whipped up some repackaged paganism, as explained in A.C. Dixon’s 1908 article, The Truth About “Christian Science”: “When Mrs Eddy declares that matter has no existence, she simply echoes the teaching of pagan philosophy. And when she denies the existence of a personal God, saying that God is all in all, in the sense that He is universal principle, she announces what is known in philosophy as Pantheism.” Pantheism is the claim that everything is God, which is completely wrong because God’s creation is no more God than you are the sandwich you made for lunch. Here is more from Dixon: “While [Christian
Science] claims to be progressive, [it] sets a premium on ignorance."; Christian Science counts on followers checking their brains at the door, because the doctrine is full of flimflam jargon that is not meant to make sense—because it doesn't. He goes on: “The microbes which produce cholera, yellow fever and bubonic plague are illusions of mortal mind. The sewers that germinate these microbes are also illusions. Pay no attention to filth or microbes… If the vagaries of “Christian Science” were really accepted and acted out, it would drive the world back into the dark ages and increase the sufferings of humanity a hundred-fold. Blot out all knowledge of sanitation, of anesthetics, of surgical
skill, of the human body, and you have multiplied the pain
which humanity would be compelled to endure.” | image tagged in christian science,mary baker eddy,cult,god,bible,religion | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5z0tkh.jpg)
![WHAT IS THE TRUTH ABOUT THE RELIGION OF “CHRISTIAN” “SCIENCE”? [1 of 2] Do accidents really happen? This quote (from a well-written 1908 article by A.C. Dixon) explains The Truth About “Christian Science”: “The basis of ‘Christian Science’ is the proposition that ‘God is everything and matter has no reality, but is an illusion of mortal mind. Sin, sickness and death have no reality, but are illusions of mortal mind. All evils such as plagues, tornadoes, cyclones, fires, earthquakes and accidents have no reality, but are illusions of mortal mind.’ ” These crazy ideas are the false teachings of Christian Science founder Mary Baker Eddy, who taught about the supposed “allness” of soul and spirit, and the nothingness of matter. Even today, the religion of Christian Science gets all that wrong because they follow her teachings as their ultimate source of authority, rather than the true Word of God in the Bible. They need to rely on Scripture, rather than Eddy’s false teachings that corrupt biblical truth. And the lies put out by many cults were ultimately given to
them through contact with lying demons. By that, I mean organizations like
the Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormonism, and Seventh Day Adventists. Whenever unfortunate followers of those false faiths get back to the Bible, they start to understand how their corrupt founders and leaders, like Mormonism’s Joseph Smith—from a family of practicing witches—put out false claims that contradict the Bible. Charles Taze Russell and Judge Rutherford, the first two leaders of Jehovah’s Witnesses, produced loads of anti-biblical teachings. Like Christian Science and its double-talking founder Mary Baker Eddy, followers of Seventh Day Adventists are taught to ultimately rely on the unbiblical teachings of Ellen G White. But reading the Bible for ourselves forces us to choose one set of ideas over the other, because the Bible contradicts mankind’s corrupt teachings—both cannot be true. Those cult members who finally get into God’s Word, inevitably find their group lied to them. As Christians, our goal must to get duped followers of false faiths to see their Bibles as the ultimate source of authority, the roadmap for life that truthfully explains the nature of God and man, the understanding that sin is real, and the personal work of Jesus that has saved us
from an eternal penalty in hell, if only we would humble ourselves enough to
accept it. We are all immortal, made in God’s image. Where we go after
this life is our decision—will we accept Christ’s help, or not? | image tagged in christian science,mary baker eddy,cult,religion,god,bible | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5z0swm.jpg)
