Christian Science Teachings On God Spiritual Understanding

In the 19th century, Mary Baker Eddy founded Christian Science. As per the interpretation of the Bible given by her in her book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures published in the year 1875, Christian Science is a religious teaching relating to the effectiveness of spiritual healing. Students of Christian Science may or may not be the members of the Church of Christ, Scientist. It is neither a physical or material science nor can it be related to Scientology and is totally different from Christian fundamentalism.

Christian Science healing is based on the fact that an individual is the expression or reflection of completely good and perfect God and so he is perfect. Christian Scientists feel that as God is the creator of everything, he loves each and every person. Christian Science may be regarded as a type of theistic monistic idealism which says that God is the only substance and all people are embraced in him in love. According to the Cambridge Dictionary of Philosophy, Christian Science is an extreme type of philosophical idealism.

Christian Science teaches that God and his creation are completely spiritual and good and all the things are made by him in His likeness. Christian Scientists believe that spiritual reality is the only reality of the world and rest of the things are error or illusions. As per Christian Science, all of us experience material existence; however this experience finally leads to a genuine spiritual understanding of God and his creation, and in this way healing through prayer can be done. Health care is not intended through any physical manipulation, surgery or drugs rather through a particular form of prayer, Christian Science treatment in order to spiritualize thought.

Christian Science Organizations have been formed in several universities and colleges and serve as functional resource for Christian Scientists for unity and support and impart better understanding of Christian Science to the people. One example of Christian Science is Discoverybound, a non-profit organization located in Denver in Colorado. Independent organizations have estimated that at present there are approximately 100,000 students of Christian Science in over 60 countries all over the world while as per the churchs website it has more than 400,000 students. In Christian Science church, there are about 1,850 to 2,000 branch congregations.

For broadcasting the healing message of Christian Science across several media, Christian Science Joint Broadcast Committee, a joint and non-profit attempt between the Arizona Churches and Phoenix was formed. CSeNews.com has grown into a Christian Science info site, events and news over the years, all over the world with hundreds of visitors and thousands of subscribers every day.
