Ms. Eddy’s Inspiration (round 1)

Christian Science Gaslighting
In the chapter on Christian Science Practice in Science and Health, Ms. Eddy presents an "allegory illustrative of the law of divine Mind and of the supposed laws of matter and hygiene, an allegory in which the plea of Christian Science heals the sick" which runs from p. 430 - 443 (the end of the … Continue reading Christian Science Gaslighting
reblogged: Where’s Mary?
This is an excellent piece from Emerging Gently which puts forth a very important question, why are church-sanctioned (at least I assume they're church sanctioned to some degree) CSPs and CS-bloggers leaving out Ms. Eddy? I have lurked on the Christian Way forum for a number of years, and have now posted twice as a “Guest” … Continue reading reblogged: Where’s Mary?

Question 1: How would you best describe … Continue reading Friday Night Fun: Are you Rapture Ready?

I obliged, … Continue reading $148 off the cover price if you subscribe to both!
is there “science” in Christian Science?
Throughout history, Religion has had a problem with testing and questioning. One of the (many) reasons the Catholic Church hated Martin Luther is because he translated the Bible into German so the common man could read it without the Priest as a middle man. The Catholic Church also disliked Galileo because he challenged their views … Continue reading is there “science” in Christian Science?
A Letter to the Jehovah’s Witness Lady
I found this to be a most enlightening piece, I was not aware that MBE's coming was foretold and by prophecy and that the signs were fulfilled. I may have to keep this piece on hand if the dear Mormon missionaries ever come back to visit.
