IF MY PEOPLE...

2 Chronicles 7:14 

 If my people, 

which are called by my name, 

shall humble themselves, 

and pray, 

and seek my face, 

and turn from their wicked ways; 

then will I hear from heaven, 

and will forgive their sin, 

and will heal their land.


 











 

Are Doctors Killing Americans?

When possible, I avoid ALL doctors and ALL hospitals. Plus, I refuse ALL vaccines. Several years ago I was warned by a former Texas Ranger to not get vaccinated because, 'that's how they will do it'. Didn't really understand back then but today, it is VERY clear their agenda.

The Doctors are Killing Americans 

by altha-admin | Nov 18, 2021 
By Dave Daubenmire 

“First do no harm.” That is one of the basic tenants of what is called the Hippocratic Oath. It was once at the foundation of all medical care. You can find more information on the Oath here

Although the Oath may not hold legal standing in the medical field today, most of the Physicians in America are in direct violation of that Oath. In fact, the medical system is killing patients.

Unfortunately, most Doctors in America are under the direct control of the American Medical Association, The Centers for Disease Control, and Medicare edicts of the Federal Government. This is Big Medicine locking arms with Big Pharma and both organizations are designed to cover everyone’s ass. Except for the patients. Patients have no one to protect them from the misfeasance and malfeasance of the Big Medicine machine.

Most people only go to the Doctor when they are ill. They go expecting that they will be properly treated in hopes of returning to the life to which they are accustomed. They literally trust their lives to the man, or woman, in the white coat. 

Perhaps I come from a different age, but I remember when the doctor actually came to the patient. That was long before Big Medicine got their hands wrapped around the government’s wallet. I remember Dr. Whetstone visiting our home to care for me or one of my siblings. He was on his own on in making a diagnosis of the ailment and subsequent treatment. My parents paid him in cash. 

We all appreciate and are grateful for the advancement in medical science and patient care. Some of the things Physicians are able to do today border on the miraculous. Just spend time in a preemie baby ward in a hospital and you will see how wonderful medicine can be. 

But, somewhere on the road to immortality, medicine has left behind the ingenuity of the individual physician and instead has subjected them to “established protocol” by which they must treat their patient. 

Hence, no Ivermectin. No Hydroxychloroquine. Those medicines are not “approved” by the Bishops of Pharmacology lurking somewhere in Government-funded echo chambers. Remdesivir, ventilators, and isolation are the “required protocol” in most Medicare-supported hospitals. If you want the Government money…follow the Government experts. Pay no attention to Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, America’s Frontline Doctors, and especially not Dr. Stella Immanuel. If you want the money…follow Fauci and his Government financed ghouls. 

Because of the Government restrictions and regulations, Doctors are killing patients in America’s hospitals. Why won’t thy speak up and defend their patients? 

You will find this in the middle of the Hippocratic Oath “I will follow that system of regimen which, according to my ability and judgment, I consider for the benefit of my patients, and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous. I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel; and in like manner I will not give to a woman a pessary to produce abortion.” (No abortion…no wonder they stopped the Oath). 

The Doctor has lost all autonomy of the decision-making process in the treatment at the hospital. Big Bucks are at stake. Follow the established Government protocol or face dismissal or personal liability. It is a version of the old joke…I’m from the Government and I am here to help…well the Government runs the hospital and the results are the same. 

Which brings us to the Nuremberg Codes. We hear a lot about it these days as it is becoming obvious that the treatment for COVID is worse than the effects. Vaccinated people are dying. Do you get that folks? The purpose of the vaccine is to PREVENT you from getting sick. The COVID jab is MAKING people sick. Killing them actually. Thousands of them. 

The Codes read in part: 
The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, over-reaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion, and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision. This latter element requires that before the acceptance of an affirmative decision by the experimental subject there should be made known to him the nature, duration, and purpose of the experiment; the method and means by which it is to be conducted; all inconveniences and hazards reasonably to be expected; and the effects upon his health or person which may possibly come from his participation in the experiment. The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality of the consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs or engages in the experiment. It is a personal duty and responsibility which may not be delegated to another with impunity. 

Ten points to re-cap. 
  1. The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. (NOPE) 
  2. The experiment should be such as to yield fruitful results for the good of society. (NOPE) 
  3. The experiment should be so designed and based on the results of animal experimentation and a knowledge of the natural history of the disease. (Nope) 
  4. The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury. (Nope) 
  5. No experiment should be conducted where there is an a priori reason to believe that death or disabling injury will occur. (Nope) 
  6. The degree of risk to be taken should never exceed that determined by the humanitarian importance of the problem to be solved by the experiment. (NOPE) 
  7. Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability, or death. (Nope) 
  8. The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons. (Nope) 
  9. During the course of the experiment the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end. (Nope) 
  10. During the course of the experiment the scientist in charge must be prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage, if he has probable cause to believe, in the exercise of the good faith, superior skill and careful judgment required of him that a continuation of the experiment is likely to result in injury, disability, or death to the experimental subject. (Link)(Nope) 

Doctors should know better. Big Medicine protocol is killing American citizens. Isn’t it time we asked why? Aren’t doctors subject to the Nuremberg Codes? America’s Doctors are either ignorant of the facts, or ignoring the facts. Neither excuse excuses their behavior. 

Wake up America! Our medical system is being bought and sold. The love of money is the root of all evil. 

The Doctors’ blind compliance are killing their patients!

"The Flat Earth model is a belief that the Earth's shape is a plane or disk. Many ancient cultures have had conceptions of a flat Earth, including Greece. It was also typically held in the aboriginal cultures of the Americas. They believed in a flat Earth domed by the firmament in the shape of an inverted bowl. A lot of people today, believe that the Earth is round but they've never seen it from a distance. Not even being on an airplane could reveal the true shape to someone who doesn't know. Being on top of the highest mountain wouldn't help either. Is NASA and it's friends lying to us about the world? Keep an open mind. There's no good reason to doubt it.

MERRICK GARLAND 
Threat Against Parent’s 1st Amendment Right Backfires…Dad Serves Stunned School Board With $200 Million Lawsuit In Middle of Meeting
 
By Patty McMurray Published October 13, 2021 at 8:45pm 
We are in serious trouble in the United States of America. We have a mostly incoherent “president” that over half of America doesn’t believe was elected fairly. Joe Biden is likely taking orders from unelected people working behind the scenes with an agenda that is so evil that, if exposed by our dishonest media, would shock our nation to its core. 
 
100 Percent Fed Up reports – On October 4, Barack Obama’s failed Supreme Court nominee turned Joe Biden’s Barack Obama’s Attorney General Merrick Garland sent a threatening note to warn parents of his plan to plant federal law enforcement agencies in communities around America. The letter was likely meant to chill dissent against school boards or school administrators over mask mandates and the teaching of CRT. The letter was prompted by the National School Board Association (NSBA), who called on the Biden administration to take action against unruly parents who keep showing up at school board meetings; the Department of Justice under Attorney General Merrick. 
 
Garland has taken up the cause against parents. The NSBA encouraged the Biden administration to classify the actions of concerned parents as “the equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes.” A lot has happened since our US Attorney General Merrick Garland’s threat against the First Amendment Right of parents to speak freely against the racist Critical Race Theory (CRT) being pushed on students in grades K-12 or against forcing our children to wear masks to school?
 
Shortly after Merrick’s threat against parents speaking out, it was discovered that Merrick Garland’s daughter is married to the co-founder of a company that provides schools with materials to teach CRT. Rebecca Garland’s husband, Xan Tanner, is the co-founder of Panorama Education, a distributor of CRT materials Parents were supposed to stop coming to school board meetings—but they haven’t. In fact, in many cases, they’re doubling down and showing up in even larger numbers. 
 
On Monday, a father in Clark County, Nevada, showed up to a Clark County School Board meeting and stunned the board members when he served them with papers in the middle of his speech. “This is segregation based off of your own fears and your own personal interests,” the unidentified father told the school board members. “The people in this country have had enough, and we are fighting back.” “I have something to give you,” he said. He called security and asked them to do him a “favor,” asking “Would you please hand those forms to the board members?” As the security person was handing out the papers serving each member, the father announced, ” You’ve been officially served a $200 million lawsuit with six complaints and violations or multiple amendments. Your job is not to be concerned with the children’s health,” he told them. “You’re not nurses. You’re not doctors. You are not responsible for their health organization. Your only focus is on our children’s education, and the education system here is 50th in the state, and you make almost more money than anybody else. It is very clear that you have failed in doing that job,” he said. “This country is not alone. It’s time that we wake up. Now, we’re gonna do a lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit. We can throw it out as much as you want. We’re gonna keep this paperwork on your desk and keep the problem going until we get exactly what we want. This is not a negotiation, we will have our freedom of choice, and we’re gonna see you in court,” he added. 
 
As the members were being served, the parents sitting behind the brave dad, who are clearly undeterred by our United States Attorney General’s threats, erupted in cheers and applause.
 

 

MATTHEW 24 "What shall be the sign of thy coming and of the end of the world?"

Matthew 24 

And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. 

Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 

But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 

But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. 

Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places."

TOTALLY LOVE WHAT HE SAYS AT THE END! 

"Noah and his family resisted the whole world, standing against the evil of their day. Daniel and Meshach, Shadrach and Abednego stood against an empire and won. Esther changed the command of a king by her faith and a prayer. So I want to encourage all you Christians out there. You think you're fighting a Goliath. Well, David defeated Goliath. In my Bible, David defeated Goliath. Don't worry about the size of your opponent, bother about the size of your God. GOD WILL PREVAIL! I optimistically submit to you, prophetically submit to you that this international house of cards will crumble. There's going to be an international scandal and all those who are aiding and abetting will find themselves in trouble. There is still time. There is still time to change your stance. God Bless You."

Is the Vaccine the Mark of the Beast?

Geoengineering Update by Dane Wigington Aug 28 2021

MY COMMENT: I have been talking & blogging about chemtrails/geoengineering etc for over 14 years in an attempt to expose the lies and reveal the truth but the evil deed has only increased. Thus it is very frustrating. So now, I put my focus back on our ONLY HOPE: The Lord Jesus Christ. I cannot continue to think about this geoengineering madness and keep my sanity. May We Each Let Our Light Shine and GIVE HOPE to one another. Phillipians 4:8 "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." _____________________________________________________

The baking and burning of the western US continues while Hurricane Ida is being steered toward the US Gulf coast. How many are aware of the fact that the US military has been involved in hurricane manipulation since 1947?. On the 16th Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, Ida is scheduled to again decimate New Orleans. From climate engineering to CV-19, covert forms of warfare are being waged on populations all over the world. Official narratives of total deception are unraveling on countless fronts, the global power brokers are losing their stranglehold of control on public consciousness. Rapidly accelerating global environmental collapse is further fueling the entire equation, the controllers are now more desperate and dangerous than ever before. Can a critical mass of public awakening be achieved in time to make a difference?

Inside the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Secret Pedophile Database

Inside the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Secret Pedophile Database

UNHOLY

Vice

The Vice TV doc “Crusaders” examines a secret database of thousands of Jehovah’s Witness child-sex offenders that’s been assembled by the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society.

Years after the Catholic Church was found to have systematically harbored and protected child-sex abusers while punishing victims for seeking justice for their horrific ordeals, a new feature-length Vice TV documentary sets its sights on the Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Aaron Kaufman’s film Crusaders—released as part of Vice TV’s “Vice Versa” nonfiction series—eviscerates the Jehovah’s Witness faith in which he was raised, giving a public platform for former members to speak out about the scourge of pedophilia within the church, and about the elders who are committed to keeping it a secret.

Premiering on Vice TV on July 28, Crusaders builds upon Douglas Quenqua’s 2019 Atlantic article about a secret database of thousands of Jehovah’s Witness child-sex offenders that’s been assembled, and concealed from prying eyes, by the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society, the nonprofit organization that governs the church. This damning list of molesters was created on March 14, 1997, when—in response to prior whistleblower complaints—a questionnaire was sent to all 10,000 nationwide congregations asking members if they suspected any fellow Witnesses of being a pedophilic predator. The church received information on many monsters in its midst, although the precise number of names remains unknown.

Most of those individuals’ identities are also a mystery—but not all of them. That’s because, as Crusaders reveals, two ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses (who in Kaufman’s film go by “Judas” and “Jezebel”) broke into a local Massachusetts headquarters and stole some of those incriminating files. Moreover, they leaked one document on Reddit, and then sent many more to a kindred ex-Jehovah’s Witness activist named Mark O’Donnell (who operated online under the alias “John Redwood”). This, in turn, led to Quenqua’s article, which made national headlines and shined an accusatory national spotlight on Jehovah’s Witnesses, who didn’t take too kindly to being outed as an organization that, in principle, condemned child abusers, but in practice made sure to keep their crimes under wraps, lest the faith get a black eye as a haven for the worst of the worst.

Crusaders works hard to slam Jehovah’s Witnesses, which also entails examining the belief systems and control mechanisms used by the religion to manipulate and dominate its adherents. The core notion embraced by Jehovah’s Witnesses is that Armageddon is imminent, and that the only way to be saved from a terrible end-times death is to abide by their tenets, which are dispensed by the Watch Tower Governing Body—a ruling council of male elders who function as God’s Earthly conduits. By toeing the line that they set forth, Witnesses will be granted access to the New System, a post-apocalypse paradise where they can begin their real lives, as opposed to their current New System-prologue existences in the here and now. Follow the rules and you’re golden; disobey—or even question—them, and you risk excommunication from friends, family, and the only community you’ve ever known.

At regular intervals, Kaufman’s documentary provides white on-screen text cards defining key Jehovah’s Witnesses terms, such as “disfellowshipped” (i.e. expulsion for insubordination), “PIMO” (short for “physically in, mentally out”), and the “Two Witness Rule,” a scriptural decree which states that no Jehovah’s Witness can be officially accused of committing a sin without two corroborating eyewitness accounts. That last stipulation is of particular importance, since it basically negates charges of sexual assault, which very rarely take place in the presence of others. Crusaders lays bare this monstrous practice through official Jehovah’s Witness videos of elders preaching this doctrine as sacred—their cocky authoritarian firmness on this issue reeking of transparent self-preservation, if not outright deviance—as well as via testimonials with a number of ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses who were molested by their true-believer comrades.
In the stories of Mark and Kimmy O’Donnell (the latter of whom was terrorized for years by her mother, who suffered no repercussions for her reported offenses and still has contact with children), Kameron Torres, Asher, Judas and other ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses, Crusaders provides wrenching first-hand accounts of sex-abuse ordeals. In almost every one of these cases, pressure to conform and stay silent was demanded not only by church officials but also by parents, grandparents, friends and colleagues, all of whom were so convinced of their righteous path that they believed the act of cutting off their loved ones was actually a merciful gesture designed to guarantee their eventual salvation. Such was the case with Barbara Anderson, a Jehovah’s Witness for 43 years until she broke with the organization after learning about its habit of sheltering pedophiles—a decision that cost her a relationship with her son.
That last stipulation is of particular importance, since it basically negates charges of sexual assault, which very rarely take place in the presence of others.
Director Kaufman confidently complements his heartbreaking interviews with news headlines, Jehovah’s Witness literature and documents, and illuminating videos of elders preaching to the camera and being surreptitiously recorded by Kameron (during which one bigwig states about the molestation suffered by Kameron and his own sons, “You just learn to live with it and put it behind you. Try not to bring it up, try not to dwell on it”). While some of his dramatic recreations can be clunky and stilted—be it staged sequences of Judas and Jezebel breaking into their local HQ to steal database documents, or filler shots of Mark O’Donnell typing away at his computer—his overall approach is straightforward and clear-sighted, explicating the canny methods employed by Jehovah’s Witnesses to exert and maintain authority over their followers.
 
The principal portrait that coalesces is one of a highly structured and immensely dangerous cult. There’s little difference between the Jehovah’s Witnesses and Scientology—or, for that matter, Heaven’s Gate. A scare-tactic outfit that preached that the end of the world was nigh, and that they alone possessed the knowledge needed to escape death and damnation, Heaven’s Gate also required members to distance themselves from non-believers, do precisely what leaders said, and go to any length to prove their loyalty. In the case of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, the price paid by many for buying into this extreme religious dogma has been years of sexual abuse, and feelings of shame and powerlessness born from not being able to do anything about it. In that regard, Crusaders isn’t just an exposé, it’s a rousing call to arms.
 

Why I Left Christian Science: The Personal Testimony of Carolyn Poole

Apr 13, 2009

Article ID: DC605 | By: Carolyn Poole

Christian Science was my whole life. I was a third-generation mem­ber of both a local church and the Mother Church in Boston. As well, I was “class taught” — that is, I received special advanced instruction. I whole­heartedly practiced Christian Science by reading my lesson every day, by not going to doctors or taking medicine when I was sick, and by serving on vari­ous committees. I even served as presi­dent of the Executive Board.

During this time, I did not know my religion was a cult, or that it was not considered Christian. I was convinced Christian Science had the truth — that God is Infinite Mind and all is mental. I believed that Jesus was simply a human being who demonstrated the “Christ Truth,” just as you and I can when we become as spiritually advanced as He was. Jesus was not so unique, I thought; He was simply a Way-Shower.

In 1969 I went (alone) to hear Billy Graham preach in the Anaheim Stadium in California. I was curious about him because he was so famous. I don’t know why I did it, but at the end of the service I went forward and received prayer.

After I sat back down, an evil pres­ence came to me. It told me I would be dead before the night was over. I nearly panicked. I asked God to forgive me for my being there and for my disloyalty to Christian Science. The evil thing left me, and I blamed it all on Billy Graham. After that, I forgot the whole affair.

Since my religion was supposed to be based on the Bible, I tried to read the Bible and understand it, but I found much of it too difficult. Then, in 1975, it occurred to me to form a Bible study group using Christian Science materials. I proposed this to my church, but noth­ing came of it.

By this time I was old enough to be a grandmother, yet I had never been invit­ed to a Bible study. So I was pleasantly surprised when two women, whom I did not know, knocked on my door one day and invited me to a home Bible study with the Christian Women’s Club. I later learned that God had prompted these two women (separately) to go door-to-door in my neighborhood. I was the only one to accept their invitation.

After many months of study, I started seeing verses in my Bible that I had read and yet had never really been aware of. My conception of God and His plan for man started to change. It began to dawn on me that Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, the founder and leader of Christian Science, had taken the place of Jesus for those involved in her religion.

In the Christian Science Church Manual, Mrs. Eddy had said she was the only one to be called Leader. In Matthew 23:10 (NAS), however, Jesus said He was the only one to be called Leader. I was faced with two different individuals — both claiming to be my only leader.

I had been taught that Christian Science was the “Revelation,” that Mrs. Eddy was the “Revelator,” and that we cannot know the Revelation unless we know the Revelator. And, of course, we have to know the Revelation in order to know God. What this ultimately meant was that the only way we could know God was by going through Mrs. Eddy.

Contrary to this, I saw in my Bible study that Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). So, Mrs. Eddy and Jesus both claimed to be the way to God.

One day during our home study, we came to Matthew 16:15 where Jesus asked His disciples who they said He was. The disciples answered, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” But Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God” (v. 16). Jesus responded, “This was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven” (v. 17).

After the women in the home Bible study left, those words kept ringing in my mind. It was as though Jesus was asking me personally. “Who do you say I am?” He seemed very stern about it. Poring over Mrs. Eddy’s statements, it became clear that she denied that Jesus is Christ (see, for example, her book entitled Miscellaneous Writings, p. 84). But Jesus said He is Christ. Jesus was asking me in my heart, Do you believe her or Me?

At first, I didn’t know. I cried. I threshed it about in my mind. I came to the decision that if Jesus could do the miracles He did, He certainly should know who He is. I concluded that Jesus must be the Christ.

The Holy Spirit also revealed to me through Scripture that Jesus, far from being just a man (as Christian Science teaches), is, in the Incarnation, God in human flesh. John’s gospel proclaims, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God….[and] The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us” (John 1:1, 14). In the Incarnation, Jesus was perfect humanity and perfect deity.

After Jesus was crucified for our sins and gloriously resurrected from the dead, “doubting” Thomas put his hand in Jesus’ side and called Him, “My Lord and my God” (John 20:28). If Thomas had been wrong in his assess­ment of Jesus’ true identity, Jesus cer­tainly would have corrected him. Thus, through my Bible study, I had learned that Jesus is the Christ, and that He is God — something that is denied by Mrs. Eddy.

Another issue I had to grapple with is the Christian Science teaching that man is perfect and sinless. When a per­son dies, Christian Science teaches, only his belief of matter dies. Man is spiritual, and at “death” he goes on doing whatever he was doing, for death is simply an illusion. Moreover, since all is “mind,” hell and heaven are only states of mind.

The Bible, however, repeatedly affirms that all men are sinners. They cannot come to God without a blood atonement. And, according to Scripture, Jesus — the Lamb of God — became the perfect and final blood sacrifice for the atonement of man’s sins (Matt. 20:28).

If man is sinless, like Mrs. Eddy taught, then Jesus suffered on the cross for nothing. In fact, it would appear as if Jesus was too stupid to know why He died. I read in my Bible, however, that when Jesus was eating with the disciples, He took a cup and handed it to them and said, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins” (Matt. 26:28). I cannot believe that Jesus was either stupid or a liar. He knew what He was saying and He meant it.

I also read in Hebrews 9:27 that “it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” So death is real, and sinful men will one day appear before God at the judgment seat and be judged for sins and cast into eternal damnation (hell) — unless they trust in Jesus for the forgiveness of sins (Acts 16:31).

I hated the thought of anyone going to hell. As a Christian Scientist, I didn’t think it could possibly be true. But as disturbing as I felt it was, I now realized that Jesus Himself had taught it. I also realized that if it were true, it would be even more disturbing if Jesus didn’t warn people about eternal damnation. Though I had had trouble believing that a good God could allow such a condi­tion to exist, I also realized that I didn’t make the rules and God didn’t ask me my opinion. As God said in Isaiah, “My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways” (Isa. 55:8).

I came to see more and more clearly that Christian Science flatly contradict­ed what Jesus said about the state of our existence after we pass on from this life. Up until now, I had always read past Jesus’ words about hell, thinking that He was speaking in a parable, and that Mrs. Eddy’s spiritual interpretation explained it all. It suddenly occurred to me, as chills ran up and down my spine, that maybe the Bible actually meant what it said.

From a human viewpoint, some of Mrs. Eddy’s ideas may sound appealing (e.g., there is no sin, no death, no judgment day, and no hell). But a study of Scripture shows that her teachings are permeated with error. The more I stud­ied, the more I found this to be true.

I had been believing in Mrs. Eddy to guide me for my eternal life, and I came to see that she didn’t know any more (really) than I did. She was only another mortal. Moreover, when she died, her body stayed in the grave. She didn’t come back. Therefore, she can’t really testify as to what goes on after death because she had never been there when she wrote her book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. Jesus had been to the grave and back; He resurrected from the dead. To me, that gives Him a lot more credibility than Mrs. Eddy.

Mrs. Eddy had said that she based her teachings on revelation, reason, and demonstration. Her “revelation” was Christian Science, which I discovered to be neither Christian nor scientific. She didn’t “demonstrate” very much because she didn’t overcome death (like Jesus did). As for “reason,” Isaiah 55:9 says, “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my (God’s) ways high­er than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” I would not want to gamble my future in eternity on one woman’s reasoning.

I read in the Bible that in the end times false prophets and false Christs would arise (Matt. 24:23-28). Mrs. Eddy had denied that Jesus is the Christ and put herself in His place as being the only Leader and the only way to God. So, I concluded, Mrs. Eddy was a false prophet.

I resigned from the Christian Science church. As a result of my Bible study, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and my God. He is the only way to salvation. (And let me emphasize, He did not come to show the way; rather, He is the way.) I will confess Him and Him alone as Lord and Savior.

There is so much more to say. But I pray that the Holy Spirit will use this brief testimony to show people involved in the Mind Sciences — whether it be Christian Science, Religious Science, Divine Science, Unity, or one of the others — that Jesus is truly God come in the flesh, and that He died for us on the cross. If we do not believe in Him, we will not spend eternity with God; rather, we will be cast into outer dark­ness (2 Pet. 2:17; Jude 1:13).

I now belong to a group of ex-­Christian Scientists who are all born again Christians. We have a ministry called “Christian Way.” Our primary goal is to share the salvation message with those in the Mind Sciences. If we can help you, please don’t hesitate to write.
