They have brought into the church the twin lies of “mental illness” and the Bible’s lack of insight into these new maladies. Most evangelicals now believe that this new science of mind, rather than Scripture, can explain why we act as we do and how we can change. To explain wrong behavior, however, as “mental illness” caused by past traumas turns sin, for which one is morally accountable to God, into a “sickness” beyond one’s control. Instead of saving sinful souls through Christ alone, Christian psychology pretends to cure sick minds with therapy. Spiritual problems now have scientific diagnoses and cures unknown to biblical prophets and apostles.The similarity to Christian Science is obvious. Its founder, Mary Baker Eddy, determined to unite science with religion, called Jesus a scientist who knew the laws of mind that govern the universe. There is no sin, sickness, pain, death. We create these illusions with negative thoughts and can cure ourselves with a new, scientific faith––positive thinking. Like Unity’s founders, Myrtle and Charles Fillmore, Ernest Holmes patterned his similar cult, The Church of Religious Science, on the same delusion: “Science of Mind teaches that Man controls the course of his life…by mental processes which function according to a Universal Law…that we are creating our own day-to-day experiences…[by] our thoughts.” Behold, the creature has become Creator, as Paul warned in Romans 1!
