Mistakes Of Christian Science

Outlines of sermons given by
Rev. X. G. Murray on Sunday,
March 18th, in the Presbyterian
church
MORNING
Sin is only an error of Mortal
Mind. It's cure is to regard it as
unreal, an Illusion, an error, for
God is all, God is good There
fore there can be no evil.
Answer-Cu of sin. If we
confess our sins he is faithful
and righteous to forgive us our
sins and to cleanse US from all
unrighteousness. u John 10.
/. sin is real and not an error.
II. sin cured not by apology.
Ill. sin cured not by forget
fulness.
". sin cured not by works.
Y. sin cured only by confess
sion and atonement of Jesus
Christ.
EVENING
Christian science says, THERE
is NO DEATH" there is no body
to die, hence death is an error of
mortal belief, to be overcome by
the TRUTH. T"
Answer For me to die is
gain. - Phil. l;2l.
/. Death, fact of the Bible; fact
of experience. Death destroys
the body; death destroys the
soul; death the penalty of sin.
Death conquered by Christ.
Death always gain to the Chris
tian.
