What Are The Beliefs Of Christian Science?

Christian Science holds to pantheism, the belief that God is all and all is God.  It believes that since all is God sin, sickness, pain, and death do not really exist.  They are seen as mere illusions.  These illusions can be overcome by correct thinking.  Christian Scientists believe in mind over matter.

Christian Science holds that Jesus was a mere human who embodied the Christ idea as an adult.  They believe that other humans can achieve this Christ idea as well.  Christian Scientists believe that humans like everything else are God.  They  believe that salvation is achieved by right thinking.  A person must believe that sin, pain, sickness, and death are mere illusions.  Christian Science believes that a person creates his own hell by incorrect thinking.  They also believe that a person creates his own heaven by correct thinking.  

On the other hand Biblical Christianity teaches something entirely different.  God is separate from his creation it is not part of him.  He created out of nothing.  Humans like the rest of creation are not God.  Sin, sickness, pain, and suffering are all reality and not mere illusions.  Man sinned against God and brought about sickness, pain, suffering, and death.  

Jesus is God and has been eternally and he is also the Messiah or Christ.  Jesus is fully God and fully man.  He lived a perfect life without sin and died on the cross to save his people from their sins.  He was resurrected victorious over sin and death.  People are saved by faith alone in Christ alone.  Believers go to heaven for eternity which is a physical place.  Unbelievers go to hell for eternity which is also a physical place.  

Christian Science is a cult or false religion.  The teaching of Christian Science is not reality but an illusion itself.  It is not a livable belief system.  Christian Science is totally out of line with historic, Biblical Christianity.
