Q A

Q What is the Christian Science view of God?

A God, Spirit, is the Supreme Being, the creator and governor of the universe. God is ever present, all-knowing, all-powerful, and wholly good. A clearer sense of God's nature is seen through synonymous names for God used or implied in the Bible, including divine Principle, Mind, Spirit, Soul, Life, Truth, Love.

Q Do you accept the virgin birth of Jesus and his crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension?

A Yes, Jesus was born of a virgin. Christian Scientists fully accept the gospel accounts of his birth, life, victory over death, and final ascension as the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy and the evidence that he was the Son of God.

Q Do you believe in heaven and hell?

A Heaven and hell are regarded not as specific destinations one reaches only after death, but as states of thought experienced in varying degrees here and now, as well as after death.

Mary Baker Eddy, Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, established the Church of Christ, Scientist, "to commemorate the word and works of our Master, which should reinstate primitive Christianity and its lost element of healing."
