- Christian Scientists believe in one, infinite God who is All and all-good. They believe that God is not distant and unknowable, but that God is all-encompassing and always present, and that each individual is loved by God, cared for by Him, and made in God’s image—spiritual, not material. - Christian Scientists believe in the Bible and in Christ Jesus as the Son of God, or promised Messiah. And they believe that Jesus’ teachings and healing work expressed scientific Christianity, or the application of the laws of God—laws which are still practical and provable today, by anyone, anywhere. Christian Scientists consider the Commandments, as well as Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, to be central to their lives and practice of Christianity. - Above all, Christian Scientists believe in the saving, healing power of God’s love—that no one is beyond redemption, that no problem is too entrenched or overwhelming to be addressed and healed. In other words, Christian Scientists don’t believe that salvation occurs at some point in the future, but that the presence of God’s goodness can be experienced here and now—and by everyone. - One of the best ways to learn more about Christian Science is to explore the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. - (SEE "The Tenets of Christian Science", Science and Health, pages 496–497.) - - First Church of Christ, Scientist, Davis is a branch of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, the worldwide organization, based in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

- ''2006-07-23 17:34:14'' [[nbsp]] LDS is a distinct split, like Islam, from Christianity (they have a very different story of Jesus Christ and how that story relates to his followers). However, they are generally considered, like other "not quite distinct enough" religions (for instance Chaldeans and Coptic), to be lumped under "Christian" in the "big three" Judaic split. I see no reason to defy the common categorization. The placement of Unitarians is much more debated. --["JabberWokky"] - ------ - ''2006-07-25 23:43:52'' [[nbsp]] Mr. Wokky states: “However, they are generally considered, like other ‘not quite distinct enough’ religions (for instance Chaldeans and Coptic), to be lumped under "Christian" in the ‘big three’ Judaic split.” I beg to differ. (Armenian) Chaldeans practice Orthodox Christian Liturgies and most Traditions but have been converted to Catholicism and are under the Pope. Coptic Orthodox, including such traditional ethnicities as Egyptian, Ethiopian, and Eritrean, are part of the [http://www.orthodoxwiki.org/Oriental_Orthodox Oriental Orthodox Church]. To dismiss Chaldeans and Coptics as marginal Christians or not quite distinct enough for their own category would be similar to equating Jesus Christ to Joseph Smith. The former is the foundation and source of the second of the three Abrahamic Traditions – the fulfillment of the Law, the latter is responsible for an aforementioned derivation or addendum to Christianity, like Islam, but established in just the last couple of centuries. --["AntoniaTsobanoudis"] - * I believe you took my comment precisely opposite from what was intended. They are not distinct enough to be called "non-Christian". In other words, various religions have split from their origin beliefs... Coptic and Chaldeans (my experience is with Iraqi Chaldeans) have a distinct history and set of beliefs, but are not distinct enough to be considered a seperate, non-Christian religion. Unlike, say, Islam, which has a common origin but is not considered a subset of Christianity. In other words, they are distinct branches of Christianity, but not so distinct they are considered to be non-Christian. I apologize if you took what I said incorrectly... it sounds like you misunderstood it almost to the opposite of my intent. Unless you are arguing Coptics and Chaldeans are not Christian? --["JabberWokky"] - * I wrote a novel but then cut it up to leave this: I am saying that Coptics and Chaldeans ARE Christians -- two of the most traditional and original Christians, actually. No apologies necessary, but I do still think it is misleading... See, any way you may try to rephrase your original thought, it is still grouping Coptics (which, are in the same distinction as Oriental Orthodox) and Chaldeans (maybe they are a sort of Byzantine Catholic? I admit I do not know much about Chaldeans nor many of them) - it is still grouping them with Mormons. ... I think there are many other Christian religions that are much farther from their source that could have been used in your justification of keeping Mormons under Christian, that's all. I hope there are no hurt feelings. +["AntoniaTsobanoudis"] -	+ ''2006-07-23 17:34:14'' [[nbsp]] LDS is generally lumped under "Christian" in the "big three" Judaic split.
