Syracuse (N. Y.) Herald
In your news columns we find a clergyman reported as saying that a Christian Scientist is not a Christian, first, because he does not accept "Christ's death as a necessary factor in the salvation of his soul," and second, because he does not "admit the deity of Christ." Christian Scientists have no desire to criticize the religious or theological beliefs of others, but on the other hand feel that those who differ with them should at least state correctly the Christian Science viewpoint. Christian Scientists follow the gospel teaching and distinguish between the human Jesus and the Christ. This our critic has failed to do, if he is correctly quoted. As to the Christ, Jesus said, "Before Abraham was, I am," thus teaching that the Christ, Truth, is divine and deathless ; while as to his human manifestation Jesus said: "Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God." "My Father is greater than I." "The Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works." The Scriptures show that Jesus made this distinction throughout his entire ministry, and why should not Christian Scientists follow his example?
The test of a Christian is to what extent he daily reflects the Mind of Christ. Jesus was the Wayshower, and he instructed his followers to heal as well as to preach, and further taught them that all who believed could do the healing works that he did. History records that this healing work continued for three centuries after the crucifixion. The healing proof was the standard set by Jesus. When John's disciples were sent to Jesus to ask if he was the one that should come, Jesus told of his healing work as proof of this Messiahship; likewise Christian Science points to its healing of sin, sickness, and sorrow through the same deathless Christ, Truth, as proof of its Christianity.
