“Looking through The Rose colored Glasses

of Christian Science"

by

J.J.

An interesting aspect of Christian Science is that they try to view the world as a world of spiritualization where love is expressed as they believe Jesus expressed it; where all error is found in not knowing the universal constant that God is love and all of his creation is in his image, perfect as well.

Yet this view tells them that the legion of demon spirits that Jesus cast out of the lunatic and into a herd of pigs was simply a parable of Jesus casting out the error of the lunatics mind. Completely ignoring the words said and of the pigs going amok and running over the cliff.

A Christian science practitioner who has a hard time acknowledging an actual conversation of Jesus, or being unable to accept the sin of Adam and Eve for the same reason, that error entered into their minds and they were unable to comprehend the kingdom of heaven within; which wouldn’t explain why all of mankind is now fallen, or to neglect the importance of the epistles of Paul simply because they want to emulate the life of Christ, completely ignoring the fact that Paul was given special dispensation by Jesus, who taught him personally while in the spirit, and was given the job of teaching the gentiles how to come to know God through Jesus.

This way of looking at the gospel with rose colored glasses is sacrificing much of the wisdom to be found in the gospel; creating a block of doctrine to blind them from further growth.

I’ve seen this in churches that create their doctrine from one verse and suffer the rest of the gospel to conform to their one scriptural verse, or be rejected. Not only do they reject the teachings of the rest of the bible they also reject anyone in their congregation that do not adhere to their doctrine.

I am saddened by this phenomena that happens to the many would be disciples of Christ.

I know they want to know the love of God in their lives and actually think they are walking in his love because they force themselves to believe in Gods love; but they did nothing to determine what God’s loving way was, nor did they submit to a revelation of discernment. They didn’t suffer the agony of learning to resist the sin and determining to live in the revealed way of love.

Because of this ‘Blinders syndrome’, they may never come to know the truth of Jesus nor the love that comes from God and acknowledged by the Holy Spirit as the Way to submit to until it causes within us a transformation of Mind.

I hope that if you are in such a relationship with a churches doctrine that you will be able to see it and will seek out the one true way to know God in a personal relationship with knowledge; as it says in Ephesians 4:17-24 (memory quote:)

‘you are separated from the love of God and darkened in your understanding due to the hardening of your heart; having lost all feeling, having given yourself over to lust with a continual lust for more. You however did not come to know Christ that way. If you have heard him and been taught by him, YOU were taught with regard to your former way of life to put to death the old man which is corrupted by its deceitful desires. And to put on the new man created in true holiness and righteousness.’

Of course this was written by Paul whom they don’t listen to anyway, and if you press them to learn from Paul they come back at you and say that the epistles of Paul were not written to us but to the churches of their day that needed personal letters written to them to address their personal failure in walking in Christ; they don’t apply to us….

Not only is this ridiculous, it is not true! Look at the beginning of Paul’s letters and see he addresses them to all Christians every where!

Where does that leave them? “We have our differences but we also have too much in common than to argue over this.” They say.

Thus they avoid any serious soul searching for truth and they keep their distance from you who they consider to be in error.

I hope that this letter keeps you from choosing to become a Christian Science Practitioner. In Him, J.J.
