The book " Science and
Health with Key to The Scripture" — is the Gospel book for this sect. It
was written by Mary Baker Eddy at the end of the 19th Century, in the state of
Massachusetts. Despite the fact that the founder of this sect condemns
Calvinism, in essence, she rejected God. A detailed analysis of the teaching of
this sect, gives evidence that it has nothing in common with the Gospels or the
Bible. Mrs. Eddy affirmed that her own book takes priority over Scripture, with
its not to be changed or doubted key to Scripture, although she did concede
that Scripture was inspired. There also is no real science in their teaching.
A singularity of Christian Science is that it is never preached. The Church
has no preachers and no sermons. Instead, they have a First and Second Reader
who are obliged to read a selection of Scripture and a selection from "Science
and health." No comments or discussion is allowed. Mary Baker Eddy is
the first and last word about the truth of Christian Science. Everything that
Christianity posts in terms of biblical teaching, Christian Science declares to
be unreality.
They reject medical treatments since they claim that sickness is an illusion
and accept a healing by auto-suggestion (or self-suggestion). They take neither
sickness nor sin seriously since "saving men" from all that
they could be saved from is unreal. Mary Baker Eddy’s fame lies in her two
writings, with which she tends to overcome, what by Christian Science’s own
claim is really nothing at all. For God is all.
