Confusion over Jesus
There are a couple of things I'm confused about in the story of Jesus. 1. Jesus supposedly died for our sins, but he died on Good Friday and was resurrected on Easter Sunday So it seems to me that at most he gave up a weekend for our sins. 2. If Jesus died for our sins, shouldn't we commit as many...

God and Sugar
Why is there sugar? If you believe doctors and nutritionists sugar rots your teeth, makes you fat and screws up your health. Most of us deprive ourselves of sugar--to one degree or another-- because we believe that it's harmful to us. We believe the doctors and nutritionists because they are...

Serving God and Money
"You cannot serve both God and money" the minister said today quoting the Bible. That's a dangerous statement. Not because it is false necessarily but because it could easily be misinterpreted. It could be interpreted to mean that it's bad to have money. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. God wants us to have...

Religious Science and Money
Money and spirituality don't go together for most people. We're brainwashed to believe that spiritual people aren't supposed to care about money. Money is the root of all evil and all that nonsense. In Religious Science, we don't buy into that. We believe that properity and abundance is our natural...
