BUT we speak the wisdom of God *in a mystery*, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory. Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they *would not have crucified the Lord of glory*. _I Corinthians 2:7—8._ AND Thomas answered and said unto him, *My Lord and my God*. Jesus saith unto him, Thomas because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. . . . But these are written, that ye *might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God*; and that believing ye might have life through his name. _John 20:28-29, 31._ WHOSOEVER believeth *that Jesus is the Christ is born of God*: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. . . . Who is he that *overcometh* the world, but he *that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God*? _I John 5:1, 5._ WHO *is a liar* but *he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ*? He is anti-christ, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever *denieth the Son*, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father *also*. _I John 2:22-23._ Christian Science. *Its NON-CHRISTIAN character.* “Christian Science" is nothing new. It is a mixture of exploded theories and issues of the ancient world. Moreover, it is neither "Christian" nor “Science” for both the personality of Christ and matter are denied, and there could he no Christ without personality nor science without matter. This unscientific cult is not only not Christian but it denies many truths of the Bible. *1st. A personal God.* The second article in the platform of Christian Science says, “God is mind. He is divine principle, *not person*,” “He and the universe are the same," or “He is the ‘substance’ and the universe and man are ‘manifestations.’ ” The Christian says: OUR *Father* which art in heaven. _Matthew 6:9._ *2nd. Christ and His Atonement.* Though they sometimes speak of Christ as a great metaphysician, they maintain that there is *no real body*, and if no body, then no suffering—therefore Christ did not suffer on the cross. *3rd. Sin.* The belief that you have *no real body* enables you to dispose of the question of sin. If the body is only a phantom then sin would only be the phantom of a phantom; an easy way for a sinner to relieve himself of personal responsibility to God. *4th. A personal devil.* Mrs. Eddy says, “A lie is all the devil there is.” Vol. 2, Page 85. See scripture pages 104 and 118. *5th. The reality of prayer.*
