Is Jesus not the Christ? Today on the Youth Apologetics Training podcast were going to talk about the Christian Science view of Jesus Christ. If you remember a few episodes back, we learned Mary Baker Eddy taught that Jesus was not the Christ. Rather, Christian Science teaches that Jesus was a man who took on the Christ. Science and Health With Key to the Scriptures says "Jesus is the human man, and Christ is the divine idea; hence the duality of Jesus the Christ." (S&H 473) Today, we will use the scriptures to refute that idea. As we mentioned in previous podcasts and the Evidence for the Divine Inspiration series, we can trust the Bible as infallible and accurate. Conversely, we have no evidence or reason to trust anything Mary Baker Eddy claims. In fact...If we take her teachings about not being able to trust our senses literally, we cannot trust her words, when we read or hear them. Jesus humbled himself and became a man

(9) Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: (10) That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; (11) And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
