I love Christian Science.

But, I'll tell anyone who is interested about more healings...Heard a CS healing about carbon monoxide poisoning last week. And today I read about a person working in cancer research, from a family of medical doctors, who became a Christian Science practitioner!

God can heal whoever he wants, atheist, agnostic, deist, humanist, CS, if you ask you may actually receive.1over137 wrote:Ann,ChristianScientistAnn wrote:Nope! Not biting the fishing hooks, B.W., Philip and anyone else. You are wasting your time with me.

It is not only about you but also about expressing attitude toward CS so that other visitors know what is our attitude. It is kind of our responsibility.
I will now maybe open can of worms if I ask all here about what they think about healings in CS. True? Fake? Common grace? Illusion? What?
They think that when they heal, they are on the right track. I was mostly interested if someone is not the Christ (as God too) follower, whether they can heal. What does the Bible say?neo-x wrote:We should acknowlegde something here. The reason Ann love CS, is obvious, she thinks it works, she believes it works and may have experienced it. Her faith in it is strong. In my opinion, it would be futile to convince someone otherwise of what they think, works. Poeple mostly beleive what they think is true, that goes for all, really. CS may be cult, but I doubt, theory alone will change her mind.
Let's start with this: healing that would otherwise be not caused by positive thinking.ChristianScientistAnn wrote:You may have to define healing.
So CS, for the most part, shuns medicines and doctors - which is clearly not Biblical. And many outside of Christian science have experienced "miraculous" recoveries as well as TRUE miracles. But as Christian Scientists get sick and also die at the very same rates as non-Christian Scientists - and many at very young ages - well, I'm missing the PROOF! It's bogus! In fact, without believing exactly WHO and WHAT Jesus and Scripture tells us He is, I'd say the very words "CHRISTIAN Science" is an oxymoron. They can call CS doctrine whatever they want, but the fact remains that their theological teachings are anything but Christian!The reason Ann love CS, is obvious, she thinks it works, she believes it works and may have experienced it.

So do CS reject all modern technology like the Amish?ChristianScientistAnn wrote:Daniel, Thanks for your question. I like depending entirely on God in every thing, because it hasn't failed me.
Ann is communicating by computer! I don't think she lights her home with oil lamps and cooks with cow manure.Danieltwotwenty wrote:So do CS reject all modern technology like the Amish?Do you use a mobile phone, computer, tablet, car etc...?

Take a look at the Christian Science site in Boston, USA. the church is beautiful and the esplanade has a shallow pool that gives you the impression that those walking on the other side are walking on water. Maybe you can see this on GoogleEarth.
I've been to Boston several times and can attest to the architectural beauty of the CS site. Christian Scientists are no cousins to the Amish.

No one is having you bite a hook, no, not at all. I am sharing why Romans 5 is special to me. Remember, I am not asking you to agree or disagree, just explaining why Romans 5 is special to me.ChristianScientistAnn wrote:Nope! Not biting the fishing hooks, B.W., Philip and anyone else.

Saw a few more healings all done by the sovereign will of Jesus, by his Grace alone. The best - the healing of the wounded soul bashed and devastated by life and the other - an aortic aneurysm... so the Lord does heal by his sovereign will and for his purposes alone. He does not heal based upon text, or rote, or the principles of christian science, but by his sovereign will which trumps our will. In that, is a great mystery which we submit.B.

Have a nice day...
I'll add a few more verses on why Roman's 5 is special to me a bit later as I have some errands to run today just wanted to let folks know I have been a bit busy as of late praying / counseling folks. Seen more people set set free and broken hearts mended as Isa 61:1-4 speaks of... all by the sovereign will of Jesus.
